Re: Absolute positioning - a done deal?

Hi Jonathan,

There are several possible values for the positioning attribute.  The
default value is 'static'.  You should be able to set the DOM node's
style.positioning attribute to 'static' and have the element flow back
into the rest of the document.

(You may also be able to set it to '', the empty string, but whether
or not that will work depends on the cascade of styles in your
document.  'static' should always work.)
