<style>
|
|
#searchbar {
|
|
position: absolute;
|
|
top: 50px;
|
|
right: 50px;
|

}

section {
|
|

|
|
}

</style>
|

<body>
|
|
<h1>Welcome!</h1>
|
|
<section>
|
|
<form id="searchbar">
|
|
<label for="search">Search:</label>
|
|
<input type="search" id="search" name="search">
|
|
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go!">
|
|
</form>
|

</section>

</body>

### Code Explanation:
|
|
|
|
* `#searchbar{}` selects all the elements with the ID of `searchbar`.
|
|
* `position: absolute;` positions the element with respect to its nearest ancestor having `position: relative;`.
|
|
* `top: 50px;` and `right: 50px;` offsets the element by `50px` to the bottom and left respectively.
