I have done some absolute positioning with css. But in the following case, why in the firstBox , the top and left values are ignored? (I want top at 100 px and left at 100px). The Second box is pisitioned correctly.

<html>
<head>
<title>Testing</title>
<style type="text/css">
#firstBox {
  color: white;
  width: 500px;
  padding: 1em;
  background: red;
  position::absolute;
  top:100px;
  left:100px;
 z-index:2;
}
#secondBox {
    color: white;
    width: 500px;
    padding: 1em;
    background: blue;
    position: absolute;
    top: 100px;
    left: 100px;
    z-index: 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="firstBox"> The First Box! </div>
<div id="secondBox"> The Second Box! </div>
</body>
</html>

    It is because you are using 2 colons for position: absolute; for #firstBox
