Css Code For Input Field With Icon:-

Css is used for styling the layout /html of the website. Here we are using basic properties of styling like border-box, transition,css selectors, and pseudo-classes.

The position the property specifies the type of positioning method used for an element (static, relative, fixed, absolute, or sticky).

The position property

The position the property specifies the type of positioning method used for an element.

There are five different position values:

Static
Relative
Fixed
Absolute
Sticky

Elements are then positioned using the top, bottom, left, and right properties. However, these properties will not work unless the position property is set first. They also work differently depending on the position value.

Position: relative;

An element  position: relative; is positioned relative to its normal position.

Setting the top, right, bottom, and left properties of a relatively-positioned element will cause it to be adjusted away from its normal position. Other content will not be adjusted to fit into any gap left by the element.

Position: absolute;

An element with position: absolute; is positioned relative to the nearest positioned ancestor (instead of positioned relative to the viewport, like fixed).

However; if an absolute positioned element has no positioned ancestors, it uses the document body, and moves along with page scrolling.

Note: absolute positioned elements are removed from the normal flow, and can overlap elements.
