de.xima.fc.css.builder.ECssPosition

All Implemented Interfaces:

CssDefaultValue, Serializable, Comparable<ECssPosition>

public enum ECssPosition
extends Enum<ECssPosition>
implements CssDefaultValue

Constants with the pre-defined values for the CSS property position.

The position CSS property sets how an element is positioned in a document. The top, right, bottom, and left properties determine the final location of positioned elements.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
ABSOLUTE	The element is removed from the normal document flow, and no space is created for the element in the page layout.
FIXED	The element is removed from the normal document flow, and no space is created for the element in the page layout.
RELATIVE	The element is positioned according to the normal flow of the document, and then offset relative to itself based on the values of top, right, bottom, and left .
STATIC	The element is positioned according to the normal flow of the document.
STICKY	The element is positioned according to the normal flow of the document, and then offset relative to its nearest scrolling ancestor and containing block (nearest block-level ancestor), including table-related elements, based on the values of top, right, bottom, and left .

Enum Constant Details

ABSOLUTE

public static final ECssPosition ABSOLUTE

The element is removed from the normal document flow, and no space is created for the element in the page layout. It is positioned relative to its closest positioned ancestor, if any; otherwise, it is placed relative to the initial containing block. Its final position is determined by the values of top, right, bottom, and left.

This value creates a new stacking context when the value of z-index is not auto. The margins of absolutely positioned boxes do not collapse with other margins.

FIXED

public static final ECssPosition FIXED

The element is removed from the normal document flow, and no space is created for the element in the page layout. It is positioned relative to the initial containing block established by the viewport, except when one of its ancestors has a transform, perspective, or filter property set to something other than none (see the CSS Transforms Spec), or the will-change property is set to transform, in which case that ancestor behaves as the containing block. (Note that there are browser inconsistencies with perspective and filter contributing to containing block formation.) Its final position is determined by the values of top, right, bottom, and left.

This value always creates a new stacking context. In printed documents, the element is placed in the same position on every page.

RELATIVE

public static final ECssPosition RELATIVE

The element is positioned according to the normal flow of the document, and then offset relative to itself based on the values of top, right, bottom, and left . The offset does not affect the position of any other elements; thus, the space given for the element in the page layout is the same as if position were static.

This value creates a new stacking context when the value of z-index is not auto. Its effect on table-*-group, table-row, table-column, table-cell, and table-caption elements is undefined.

STATIC

public static final ECssPosition STATIC

The element is positioned according to the normal flow of the document. The top, right, bottom, left, and z-index properties have no effect. This is the default value.

STICKY

public static final ECssPosition STICKY

The element is positioned according to the normal flow of the document, and then offset relative to its nearest scrolling ancestor and containing block (nearest block-level ancestor), including table-related elements, based on the values of top, right, bottom, and left . The offset does not affect the position of any other elements.

This value always creates a new stacking context. Note that a sticky element "sticks" to its nearest ancestor that has a "scrolling mechanism" (created when overflow is hidden, scroll, auto, or overlay), even if that ancestor isn't the nearest actually scrolling ancestor.

Method Details

values

public static ECssPosition[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ECssPosition valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Enum<ECssPosition>

value

public String value()

Returns:

The string value of this property that can be used when creating CSS strings.
