How do I properly use position: absolute?



Sorry for the newbie question, but I can't seem to work around this issue just yet.





I have a website with dynamic content all over. When you go to the page of an article, it pulls the content from the database etc. If the user is logged in and is an admin on of the website, I am displaying an "Edit article" link in the top right corner. The only problem is the position of that "Edit article" div .





On different screen resolutions, it moves around, as the it's set with a position:absolute , top:x px , left:y px .





I am open to any suggestion (Javascript, jQuery most welcome, easy peasy CSS would be best if possible).

  1. An element with position: absolute is better to be wrapped with a position: relative element.

  2. Use the below CSS no JavaScript is required.

    {
    position: fixed;
    top: 0px;
    right: 0px;
    }


    This will make sure the div or link will remain in the top right corner of the page even if the page is scrolled.

  3. Use attribute right: 0px; instead of left: 900px; or whatever. This will absolutely position your div to the right 0 pixels away from the right-side of the window.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
