Position

Use these shorthand utilities for quickly configuring the position of an element.

Bootstrap Position documentation

Fixed top

Position an element at the top of the viewport, from edge to edge. Be sure you understand the ramifications of fixed position in your project; you may need to add additional CSS.

        
          <div class="fixed-top">...</div>

Fixed bottom

Position an element at the bottom of the viewport, from edge to edge. Be sure you understand the ramifications of fixed position in your project; you may need to add additional CSS.

        
          <div class="fixed-bottom">...</div>

Fixed bottom

Position an element at the top of the viewport, from edge to edge, but only after you scroll past it. The .sticky-top utility uses CSS’s position: sticky, which isn’t fully supported in all browsers.

        
          <div class="sticky-top">...</div>

Position values

Quick positioning classes are available, and they are responsive.

        
          <div class="position-static">...</div>
          <div class="position-relative">...</div>
          <div class="position-absolute">...</div>
          <div class="position-fixed">...</div>
          <div class="position-sticky">...</div>

          <div class="position-sm-static">...</div>
          <div class="position-sm-relative">...</div>

          <div class="position-xl-absolute">...</div>
          <div class="position-xl-fixed">...</div>
          <div class="position-xl-sticky">...</div>

          <div class="position-xxl-static">...</div>
          <div class="position-xxl-relative">...</div>
          <div class="position-xxl-absolute">...</div>
          <div class="position-xxl-fixed">...</div>
          <div class="position-xxl-sticky">...</div>

Arrange elements

Arrange elements easily with the edge positioning utilities. The format is {property}-{position}.

Where property is one of:

Where position is one of:

(You can add more position values by adding entries to the $position-values Sass map variable.)

Center elements

In addition, you can also center the elements with the transform utility class .translate-middle.

This class applies the transformations translateX(-50%) and translateY(-50%) to the element which, in combination with the edge positioning utilities, allows you to absolute center an element.

By adding .translate-middle-x or .translate-middle-y classes, elements can be positioned only in horizontal or vertical direction.

Examples

Here are some real life examples of these classes:

You can use these classes with existing components to create new ones. Remember that you can extend its functionality by adding entries to the $position-values variable.
