Using the CSS position property
An element can be positioned independently of the text flow by changing its position property
to absolute. When the element is placed inside another element, such as a Box, changing its
position property to absolute positions the element absolutely inside its 'parent'.
With the position property of an element set to absolute, the top or bottom and left or right
properties position the element inside its parent with exact values: pixels (px), centimeters (cm),
etc. Negative values are allowed.
For an explanation of all values that the position property can possibly have, see
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp.
Where to use it
In Print sections, setting the position property to absolute can be very useful in Print sections.
It takes the element out of the text flow, so that the element stays where it is on the page. On
Master Pages (which are only used in Print sections) elements are always positioned
absolutely; if not, they must be located inside an element that has an absolute position.
In Web sections, this property can be useful for elements inside a Div element. A Div element
that is not inside another element should not be positioned absolutely: designs for the Web
should be flexible so that they display nicely on a variety of devices and screen sizes.
In Email sections, do not use this property. Use Tables instead (see "Designing an Email
template" on page81 and "Table" on page158).
How to use it
In the Formatting dialog the position property can be found on the Image tab, under
Positioning.
This property isn't present in one of the tab menus of the style rule editor, but you can add it
