CSS Positioning - Amending offset values not working?

Hi,

From this video, I have the following CSS code:

figure { margin: 0; line-height: 0; position:relative;

}

figcaption { font-size: .9em; line-height: 1.5; color: #fff; padding: 1em;
background: rgba(19,43,102, .85);

position: absolute; right: 300; bottom: 0; top:5; width:100%;

}

I am manipulating the right/bottom/top values for the figscaption. Only changing the 'bottom' seems to make any visible difference. Is this because the figcaption is relative to figure? Or is this due to the width property?

Thanks

You need to specify a unit after the number like this

right: 300px;

Your bottom declaration works as you don't need to specify a unit if the value is 0
