Moving elements having absolute anchored position by using a container 1

[picardout]

Hi,

I need to embed some elements in a container, so that the elements anchored at absolute position 0 will actually follow the container's position.
(I use DOM's removeChild/appendChild to move around the nodes/elements)
What should I use as container? Frame, DIV, IFrame?

Thanks!

Correction: Please read "fixed" positioned elements, not "absolute".

Thanks!

Div should be the choice.

To put a position fixed styled element to the parentNode div with parentNode div of some default static positioning, I think, you would have further to equate the left and top style of the fixed position child coincide with the parentNode in addition to executing the appendChild method in the javascript function, otherwise, the fixed position child should not follow any logic of the position of its parent container. It is taken out of the natural flow, is it not? If there is any doubt, I think our css forum

should be in a better position to answer.
