句法

/* <length> values */
left: 3px;
left: 2.4em;
/* <percentage>s of the width of the containing block */
left: 10%;
/* Keyword value */
left: auto;
/* Global values */
left: inherit;
left: initial;
left: unset;
					

<length>
A negative, null, or positive <length> that represents:
  • for absolutely positioned elements , the distance to the left edge of the containing block.
  • for relatively positioned elements , the distance that the element is moved to the right of its normal position.
<percentage>
A <percentage> of the containing block's width.
auto
Specifies that:
  • for absolutely positioned elements , the position of the element is based on the right property, while width: auto is treated as a width based on the content; or if right is also auto , the element is positioned where it should horizontally be positioned if it were a static element.
  • for relatively positioned elements , the distance of the element from its normal position is based on the right property; or if right is also auto , the element is not moved horizontally at all.
inherit
Specifies that the value is the same as the computed value from its parent element (which might not be its containing block). This computed value is then handled as if it were a <length> , <percentage> ,或 auto 关键词。

描述

The effect of left depends on how the element is positioned (i.e., the value of the position property):

  • When position is set to absolute or fixed left property specifies the distance between the element's left edge and the left edge of its containing block. (The containing block is the ancestor to which the element is relatively positioned.)
  • When position is set to relative left property specifies the distance the element's left edge is moved to the right from its normal position.
  • When position is set to sticky left property is used to compute the sticky-constraint rectangle.
  • When position is set to static left property has no effect .

When both left and right are defined, and width constraints don't prevent it, the element will stretch to satisfy both. If the element cannot stretch to satisfy both, the position of the element is overspecified . When this is the case, the left value has precedence when the container is left-to-right; the right value has precedence when the container is right-to-left.
