The position of an absolutely positioned element is relative to the nearest positioned ancestor element, if the element has no positioned ancestors element, then its position is relative to the original containing block (that is, the body).

The position of an absolutely positioned element is relative to the nearest positioned ancestor element. If the element has no positioned ancestor elements, then its position is relative to the original containing block (that is, the body).

Does this mean that static is not positioned and relative is positioned?

static is the default value of position, which is not positioned.

absolute relative to BODY positioning
Other relative parent container positioning.

relative generates a relatively positioned element, positioned relative to its normal position. At this time, the shadow will be offset by 0 pixels to the left and 2 pixels to the top relative to the right.
static Default value. Without positioning, the element appears in normal flow (ignoring top, bottom, left, right or z-index declarations).

This situation is most likely because your html does not follow the w3c standard
