Absolute position offset values will be relative to the next parent element with relative (or absolute) positioning. If there is no such parent, it will default all the way back up to the html element itself meaning it will be placed relatively to the page itself.

Above is your explanation of how absolute position works. But when I was playing with the absolute position, I found that absolute position offset values will be relative to the next parent element which has a defined position except default (static). If there is no such parent, it will default all the way back up to the html element itself meaning it will be placed relatively to the page itself.

Here is my code-pen link @vasanthk for your reference.

Can you please check this? and feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

I could not reproduce what is described here:

Any margin that we add to the paragraph is being applied way off to the right of the image. This is because the image is actually inside of the paragraph’s box! This is why it doesn’t increase the space between the image and the paragraph.

In my bin here, the behaviour is the expected one, not as described:

EDIT.
I have checked the linked reference and think their explanation is wrong - the image is definitely NOT inside the paragraph. It is clearly visible in my jsbin.

Please, can you specify the License for this repo? Tks
