This property defines the offset between the top outer margin edge of a positioned element and the top edge of its containing block.
Values:
<length> | <percentage> | auto |
inherit
Initial value:
auto
Applies to:
positioned elements (that is, elements for which the value of
position is something other than
static)
Inherited:
no
Percentages:
refer to the height of the containing block
Computed value:
for relatively positioned elements, see note; for
static elements, auto; for
length values, the corresponding absolute length; for percentage
values, the specified value; otherwise, auto
Note:
for relatively positioned elements, if both top
and bottom are auto, their
computed values are both 0; if one of them is
auto, it becomes the negative of the other; if
neither is auto, bottom will
become the negative of the value of top
