Warnings

Be sure you understand the ramifications of fixed and absolute position in your project; you may need to add aditional CSS.

Common Positioning

The following utilities are available for positioning.

<div class="position-static">...</div>
<div class="position-relative">...</div>
<div class="position-absolute">...</div>
<div class="position-fixed">...</div>
<div class="position-sticky">...</div>

Responsive variants are also available in the form of .position{breakpoint}-{type}, such as .position-md-relative. Please refer to how our breakpoint nomenclature is used.

Quick Positioning

There are also some quick positioning utilities available, but they are not responsive.

Fixed Top

Position an element at the top of the viewport, from edge to edge.

<div class="fixed-top">...</div>

Fixed Bottom

Position an element at the bottom of the viewport, from edge to edge.

<div class="fixed-bottom">...</div>

Sticky Top

Position an element at the top of the viewport, from edge to edge, but only after you scroll past it. This sticky utility uses CSS’s position: sticky, which isn’t fully supported in all browsers. Additional support information can be found at Can I Use - CSS position:sticky.

IE11 and IE10 will render position: sticky as position: relative. As such, we wrap the styles in a @supports query, limiting the stickiness to only browsers that can render it properly.

<div class="sticky-top">...</div>
