left - CSS 3

For absolutely positioned elements, the left property sets the left edge of an element to a unit 
to the left/right of the left edge of its nearest positioned ancestor.Note: If an absolute positioned element has no positioned ancestors, it 
uses the document body, and moves along with page scrolling.Note: A "positioned" element is one whose position is anything except static.For relatively positioned elements, the left property sets the left edge of an element to a unit to the left/right to its normal position. Note: If "position:static", the left property has no effect.
