Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fixed positioning allows the header element to stay fixed at the top of the page even when users scroll the page. Absolute positioning would position the header element relative to its nearest positioned ancestor, while relative positioning would position it relative to its current position in the flow of the document. Fluid positioning, also known as responsive design, refers to designing a website to adjust its layout to different screen sizes, and is not applicable to this question.
