Normal Document Flow
Hey gang, in this tutorial we're going to take a quick look at normal document flow in browsers. Normal document flow is the natural flow of elements on a page before we apply any positional properties to them whatsoever. It can be used to good effect to position elements on a page before applying additional positional properties.

Clearing Floats
Yo ninjas, in this CSS positioning tutorial, I'll show you how to clear floats, so that elements below do not rise up underneath the floated elements.

We need to clear floats because floated elements are removed from normal document flow and essentially have no height within that normal flow. Clearing the floats, in essence, gives back the height to the element in normal document flow, so that elements below do not rise up behind the floated elements.

Hey gang, in this CSS positioning tutorial, I'll be showing you the position property in CSS. In particular, we'll be looking at relative position and how it can help us offset elements without removing them from normal document flow.
