css - parent's position is absolute and child's position is relative and vice versa

Question

I have div which hosts another div. Ok, I get the case when the parent is position:relative and the child is position:absolute. I don\'t get what h

Answer 1

• If the mommy is relative and the child is absolute : the mommy listens to her child. as if to protect him. sort of..

• If they are both absolute : they have nothing to do with each other. they are strangers to each other.

• If the parent is absolute and child relative : they are bound. the child moves ( width and height ) towards or away from his mommy.

It will always be a little strange, there are a lot of great texts about this, but also for me it is always just switching absolute and relative until it works. hope this clears it up a little.
