Position

Use these shorthand utilities for quickly configuring the position of an element.

Common values

Quick positioning classes are available, though they are not responsive.

<div class="position-static">...</div>
<div class="position-relative">...</div>
<div class="position-absolute">...</div>
<div class="position-fixed">...</div>
<div class="position-sticky">...</div>

Positions

Position elements with .center-x, .center-y, .top, .right, .bottom, .left, .above, and .below

Center-X Center-Y

<div class="position-relative border m-5" style="height:200px;width:200px;">
  <div class="position-absolute center-x center-y bg-primary">Center-X Center-Y</div>
</div>

Right Center-y

<div class="position-relative border m-5" style="height:200px;width:200px;">
  <div class="position-absolute right center-y bg-primary">Right Center-y</div>
</div>

Above Center-x

<div class="position-relative border m-5" style="height:200px;width:200px;">
  <div class="position-absolute above center-x bg-primary">Above Center-x</div>
</div>

Below

<div class="position-relative border m-5" style="height:200px;width:200px;">
  <div class="position-absolute below bg-primary">Below</div>
</div>

Bottom Left

<div class="position-relative border m-5" style="height:200px;width:200px;">
  <div class="position-absolute bottom left bg-primary">Bottom Left</div>
</div>

top Right

<div class="position-relative border m-5" style="height:200px;width:200px;">
  <div class="position-absolute top right bg-primary">top Right</div>
</div>

Fixed top

Position an element at the top of the viewport, from edge to edge. Be sure you understand the ramifications of fixed position in your project; you may need to add additional CSS.

<div class="fixed-top">...</div>

Fixed bottom

Position an element at the bottom of the viewport, from edge to edge. Be sure you understand the ramifications of fixed position in your project; you may need to add additional CSS.

<div class="fixed-bottom">...</div>

Sticky top

Position an element at the top of the viewport, from edge to edge, but only after you scroll past it. The .sticky-top utility uses CSS’s position: sticky, which isn’t fully supported in all browsers.

IE11 and IE10 will render position: sticky as position: relative. As such, we wrap the styles in a @supports query, limiting the stickiness to only browsers that can render it properly.

<div class="sticky-top">...</div>
