Property definition and usage instructions

For absolutely positioned elements, the bottom property sets the bottom edge of the element a specified amount above/below the bottom edge of its containing element.

For relatively positioned elements, the bottom property sets the bottom edge of the element a specified amount above/below its normal position.

Note:If "position: static", the bottom property has no effect.

Description:For static elements, it is auto; for length values, it is the corresponding absolute length; for percentage values, it is the specified value; otherwise, it is auto. For relatively positioned elements, if both bottom and top are auto, their computed values are both 0; if one of them is auto, it takes the negative of the other value; if neither is auto, bottom takes the negative of the top value.

Default value: auto
Inheritance: no
version: CSS2
JavaScript Syntax: object.style.bottom="50px"
