Values

auto

The initial position is the position of the box specified by the position property.

<position>

A <position>. A position defines an x/y coordinate, to place an item relative to the edges of an element's box. It can be defined using one to four values. If two non-keyword values are used, the first value represents the horizontal position and the second represents the vertical position. If only one value is specified, the second value is assumed to be center. If three or four values are used, the length-percentage values are offsets for the preceding keyword value(s). For more explanation of these value types, see background-position.

  [ left | center | right | <length-percentage> ] [ top | center | bottom | <length-percentage> ]?  |
  [ [ left | right ] <length-percentage> ] && [ [ top | bottom ] <length-percentage> ]  

<length-percentage> = 
  <length>      |
