position: fixed • Content is positioned relative to the viewport • Stays in the same place even as the viewport is scrolled • Can adjust position using top, right, bottom, left properties • Does not leave a gap where it would have normally been located on the page (“Removed from the flow”) • Set sufficient margin/padding on content to accommodate fixed elements

Centering with margin: auto

Slide 24

Slide 24 text

margin: auto • Block elements will expand to the width of their parent • Applying a width will prevent this (px/em/rem/%) • Setting left and right margins to auto will center horizontally • Using max-width instead of width will make the box flexible up to the max-width value
