makePositioned :: Element

makePositioned(element) -> HTMLElement Allows for the easy creation of CSS containing block by setting an element's CSS position to 'relative' if its initial position is either 'static' or undefined. Returns element.

To revert back to element's original CSS position, use undoPositioned().

Example

Consider the following case:

<p>lorem […]</p>

<div id="container">

<div id="element" style="position: absolute; top: 20px; left: 20px;"></div>

</div>

To position div#element relatively to it's parent element:

$('container').makePositioned();

// -> HTMLElement
