CSS left

Also see the full, alphabetical list of CSS properties


The CSS left property is used in positioning an element. The left property allows you to specify how far the element is offset from the left of its containing block (for absolute positioning), or from the left of where the element itself would normally have been (for relative positioning).

The 'left' property is used in conjunction with the position property, as well as the top, bottom, and right properties.

Syntax: left: <value>
Possible Values:
  • <length> (i.e. 20px)
  • <percentage> (i.e. 20%)
  • auto
  • inherit
Initial Value: Auto
Applies to: Positioned elements.
Inherited: No
Media: Visual
Example: 
div {
  position: relative;
  left: 20%;
  }
Try it yourself!
