#Introduction

The right CSS property participates in specifying the horizontal position of a positioned element. For more information, please refer to property position.

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

• When position is set to absolute or fixed, the right property specifies the distance between the element's outer margin of right edge and the inner border of the right edge of its containing block.

• When position is set to relative, the right property specifies the distance the element's right edge is moved to the left from its normal position.

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.
