Definition and Usage
For absolutely positioned elements, the bottom property sets the bottom edge of an element to a unit above/below the bottom edge of its containing element.
For relatively positioned elements, the bottom property sets the bottom edge of an element to a unit above/below its normal position.
Note: If "position:static", the bottom property has no effect.
