Convert absolute position to relative

Is it possible to change DIV position from absolute to relative (and from relative to absolute)? DIV should remain on same place.

Solution

  • you can change that attribute with

    $(object).css({position: 'absolute'});

    For instance:
    You could use jQuery's methods .position() or .offset() to set "top" and "left" css attribute aswell, that way your object should stay at it's position changing from relative -> absolute.

    I don't think that works vice versa.
