It's relative to where it would be normally. Since you haven't specified a top, left, bottom, or right, it's position doesn't change (which is what we want). But if it doesn't do anything why is it there? Because absolutely positioned elements are positions relative to their nearest positioned ancestor (anything with position: relative, absolute, or fixed.) so when you use the bottom: 0 below it'll be at the bottom of the div, instead of the bottom of the <body>. > Why do we add a 0 on the absolute position. > Does bottom not mean right at the bottom of the div? Bottom: 0 means right at the bottom of the div. Bottom: 15px would mean 15 pixels above the bottom of the div. Bottom without a value would be ignored completely. ---Tim (but a different one) ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
