absolute positioning the editor with jquery

hm, this seems to work:
var style = "position: absolute; top: "+y+"px; left: "+x +"px; width:" +width + "; height: " + height + ";" ;
this.container.$.setAttribute("style",
style);

though I may be breaking other things, since I'm overriding any other style information there may be...

is this the right way to do it?

thanks!

ah, this also works, and is probably better:

var thing = this.container.$;
$(thing).css({position: "absolute", top: y, left: x, height: h, width: w});

obviously x,y,w, and h are vars I've already set

(though chrome seems to have a min width, below which things get wierd)

in any case, that demo is still up in case anyone wants to see how I've done this, and comment.

cheers
