What is the main purpose and practical use of the absolute element of the position property in css? How is it used in modern websites?

Question

I understand how the absolute element works in a document, but I don't understand how what it can do can be applicable or used in modern website. Could anyone give me some examples of what it can be used for in a modern website or examples of it being used? Thanks

Answer 1

The absolute element positioning can be handy in many ways. One pratical case to use it, which I mostly do is to position the eye in a password input. That is to toggle between showing the password or not
