Question

I’m trying to get my head around CSS positioning, and I’m slightly confused by the left and right properties. I know that the properties take values which determine how far from the left or right edge of a container the element will be placed. But what if the left and right properties are set in such a way where it is impossible to satisfy both at once? Which property has precedence?

Answer 1

It depends, but if your position is fixed or absolute and you haven’t defined width, it will be resized. When it is defined, it appears top and left take precedence.
