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