static Default. Object has no special positioning; it follows the layout rules of HTML.

absolute Object is positioned relative to parent element's position—or to the body object if its parent element is not positioned—using the top and left properties.

relative Object is positioned according to the normal flow, and then offset by the top and left properties.
