Positioning

Css (cascading Style Sheets) allow you to position elements four different ways.

STATIC- HTML elements are positioned Static by defualt. A static positioned elementis alays positioned according to the flow of the page.

ABSLOUTE- Absolute positioning is relative to the first parent element that has a position other than static. It is removed from the normal flow. The document and other elemnts act as if it does not exist allowing overlaps.

FIXED- Positioned relative to the browser. will not move even if scrolled.

RELATIVE- A relative positioned element is positioned relative to its normal position. The content of this element can be moved and overlap other elements but the reserved space for the element is still perserved in the normal flow.

How I spark my creativity...

when i hit a mental block, which is often, i try to center my work around something i'm interested in. Usually that will get me into it (it being my work of course). It might not be relevant to the assignment but at least it gets me thinking nd i think that's the most important. Another method i use is just write down any ideas that come to mind, even if i think it's dumb. I just write down as many ideas as i can. Usually those ideas will be scrunched up and tossed over my shoulder but at least it gets my mind jump started.
