CSS Property: bottom

The bottom position of a box.

Calculated differently, depending on the position state of a box.

For relative positioned boxes, bottom defines how far the box is offset from its initial bottom edge. So a positive value will, in fact, shift the box up.

For absolute (or fixed) position boxes, bottom defines how far the box is offset from the bottom edge of its containing block (being the page or a containing positioned box).

Possible Values

[length]100px
[percentage]Calculated in relation to the height of the containing box.50%
autoDefault.
inherit

Example


#evilinvestor {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 2em;
}
