The properties on this tab set the position details for the text in the selected object.
Figure 1 - The properties available on the Position tab
- Width - sets the width of an element.
- Height - sets the height of an element.
- Min Width - ensures a consistent width setting in different browsers and versions of browsers for surveys, portals and reports that have width settings specified in their styles.
- Min Height - ensures a consistent height setting in different browsers and versions of browsers for surveys, portals and reports that have height settings specified in their styles.
- Type - places an element in a Static, Relative or Absolute position. When Relative or Absolute is selected, five additional properties become available.
- Not Set - (default) makes no specific setting at this level. This allows the next level up to specify the setting.
- Static - an element with this position type always has the position defined by the normal flow of the page. A Static element ignores any top, bottom, left or right declarations.
- Relative - this position type moves an element relative to its normal position. Additional properties that then become available are: Top, Left, Bottom, Right and z-Index. For example, "Left:20" adds 20 pixels to the element's "Left" position. The z-Index property specifies the stack order of the element; an element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order.
- Absolute - the element is positioned at the specified coordinates relative to its containing block. The element's position is then specified with the Top, Left, Bottom, Right and z-Index properties. The z-Index property specifies the stack order of the element; an element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order.
