Topic #: 1

[All WGU (KVO1) Web Development Applications Questions]

A web page has a section that contains an `

` element. The element is always 10 pixels to the right of its normal position.

Which type of layout positioning should the `

` element use?

AStatic

BRelative

CFixed

DAbsolute

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

> ''Relative positioning allows an element to be positioned relative to its normal (static) position. For example, `left: 10px` shifts the element 10 pixels to the right of its original location.''

> ''Unlike `absolute` or `fixed`, relative positioning does not remove the element from the document flow.''

I thought fixed positioning was for elements that stay in one place even when scrolling, so that can't be it. I lean towards relative, but I need to double-check.

I feel like static positioning wouldn't apply here since the element is being moved. I just can't recall if relative or absolute is the better choice.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think absolute positioning could also work, but it depends on the context of the layout.

I think it might be relative positioning since it says it's 10 pixels to the right of its normal position, but I'm not entirely sure.
