Static Position of Div Layer

The default position of a div layer newly created is static. A static position means that the position of the div layer appear where you create it. Moreover as it's name implied, the position of a static div layer is always static. The following examples will demonstrate that.

Case 1: Div Layer itself Set to Static Position

When the position of a div layer is set to static, the position of this div layer is relative to the HTML contents where it is inserted. Please note that the default position of all div layers are static.

In this example, the div layer is created below line 3 of the HTML web contents.
