Remove position:absolute attribute by adding css

http://jsbin.com/ICeweli/1/

#test {
  position: absolute;
}

#test {
  position: static;
}

Remove one or the other to see the difference.

The CSS2 specification says that the initial position value of an element is static.

So in your case if you can't actually remove a declaration then reset it to the "default" which is static.

#item {
    position: static;
}
