Which CSS positioning scheme should a developer use to make an element appear completely removed from the rest of the page flow?
The position: absolute rule removes the element from the normal document flow. The element is then positioned relative to the nearest positioned ancestor (i.e., one with relative, absolute, or fixed positioning).
''Absolutely positioned elements are removed from the normal document flow. They are positioned relative to their nearest positioned ancestor instead of the viewport.''
This contrasts with:
relative: keeps the element in flow and shifts it.
static: default positioning, follows normal flow.
inherit: simply adopts the position value from the parent.
