(For notes focus on p.358 - p.364 see Class 04 Notes)
position
static: default
relative: moves an element in relation to where it would normally have been in normal flow
absolute: takes box out of normal flow
fixed: type of absolute positioning that is fixed in relation to the browser window
float allows you to take an element in normal flow and place it as far to the left or right of the containing element as possible
clear allows you to say that no element within the same containing element should touch the indicated side of the box (left, right, both or none)
Fixed Width Layouts do not change size as the user increases or decreases the size of their browser window
Liquid Layout Designs stretch and contract based on the browser window
Multiple CSS files can be used within a single page
