3/******************** Static Position  *************************/
4/*All elements are static in their position by default. Which means 
5that, all elements are organized just like they would if your code 
6didn't have any CSS and were just pure HTML */

12/******************** Relative Position *************************/
13/*It allow us to position this element relative to how it would have
14been positioned had it been static. You can use the coordinate 
15properties to guide this element (by giving some margins to the block), 
16relative to what was the standard layout. This new position will not 
17influence the distribution of other elements (the others will keep 
18the standard layout, as if your element leaves a "shadow" of where it 
19was supposed to be). Therefore, some overlaps and lack of coordination 
20can occur when you move your element*/

34/******************** Absolute Position *************************/
35/* With this property, we are able to position the element relative 
36to the <body> or relative to it's parent, IF the parent is itself isn't 
37"static". Using the coordination properties, we do not increase or 
38decrease the margins in relation to the standard position, but rather, 
39we are increasing or decreasing the distance in relation to the "walls" 
40of the block that contains this element, for example, a parent <div> 
41that contains a <h1> element. The name "absolut", comes from the cases 
42where the parent is the <body> element. When you use this property, 
43you are taking the element away from the natural flow of your document, 
44so, the other elements position will not take into account your absolute 
45element*/

71/******************** Fixed Position *************************/
72/*As soon as the element is fixed in a certain position, relative 
73to it's parent, then, whenever we scroll down the webpage, the element 
74maintains its fixed position on the screen. This property will also 
75make the other html elements, ignore the position of this element

104
105/******************* NOTES ABOUT THE Z-INDEX **********************/
106/* By default, the z-index of an element is zero, so if you change the 
107z-index to something above or below that value, you are putting that 
108element above or below the ones you didn't change.
109Another important thing to be aware of is that the z-index only worked 
110for elements that have a position different from the standard. This 
111means that, for elements with Static position, this won't work.
112So, you can only make two elements interact in the z plane if they both 
113have a define position as: Relative, Absolute, Fixed, ... */

115tag_name_1 {
116  position: absolute;
