com.oorian.css.Position
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<Position>, Constable
public enum Position extends Enum<Position>
CSS position property values for element positioning method.

The position property specifies how an element is positioned in the document. Once positioned, the element can be adjusted using top, right, bottom, and left properties.

Position Types:

  • STATIC - Normal document flow (default)
  • RELATIVE - Offset from normal position
  • ABSOLUTE - Positioned relative to nearest positioned ancestor
  • FIXED - Positioned relative to viewport
  • STICKY - Hybrid of relative and fixed

Usage:


 element.setPosition(Position.RELATIVE);
 element.setPosition(Position.ABSOLUTE);
 element.setPosition(Position.STICKY);

    • INHERIT

      public static final Position INHERIT
      Inherits the position value from the parent element.

    • INITIAL

      public static final Position INITIAL
      Sets the position to the default value (static).

    • UNSET

      public static final Position UNSET
      Resets the property to its inherited value or initial value.

    • REVERT

      public static final Position REVERT
      Rolls back to the value defined by a previous cascade origin.

    • REVERT_LAYER

      public static final Position REVERT_LAYER
      Rolls back to the value defined in the previous cascade layer.

    • STATIC

      public static final Position STATIC
      Normal document flow positioning (default). The element is positioned according to the normal flow. Top, right, bottom, left, and z-index have no effect.

    • RELATIVE

      public static final Position RELATIVE
      Positioned relative to its normal position. The element remains in normal flow, but can be offset using top, right, bottom, and left. Other elements are not affected.

    • ABSOLUTE

      public static final Position ABSOLUTE
      Positioned relative to the nearest positioned ancestor. The element is removed from normal flow. If no positioned ancestor exists, it is positioned relative to the initial containing block.

    • FIXED

      public static final Position FIXED
      Positioned relative to the viewport. The element is removed from normal flow and stays in place when the page is scrolled. Useful for persistent headers or footers.

    • STICKY

      public static final Position STICKY
      Hybrid of relative and fixed positioning. The element is treated as relative until it crosses a specified threshold (using top, right, bottom, or left), then it becomes fixed. Commonly used for sticky navigation headers.
