Also important is the CSS: giving elements “position: absolute;” is what allows setting left, top, etc.

h2.saying {
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
}

h2#where { left: 0; }

h2#when { right: 0; }

h2#final { left: 272px; top: 80px; }

olivier, I agree with your comment about Fx.Elements. It is easier (and more elegant).

You should try Fx.Elements with the option ‘link’ set to ‘chain’, it’s a even easier. The only downside is that you have to know how many elements you are dealing with and the position of each in the collection, while your method is more abstract

Thanks, Ryan. Regarding the analogy, I thought about adding a disclaimer saying I wasn’t advocating the indiscriminate use of firearms. Then I thought, “Naw, that’s way too PC!”

Very well explained. The analogy really helps communicate how it works very well!
