[Javascript] Positioning in IE

[Hakan Magnusson (Backbase)]

Programmers who've already figured out that multiple lookups on large 
datasets will slow down the computer might not find your amazing 
discovery very intersesting, just as he said.

Regarding the bullshit about how "senior" on this forum you are, I'd say 
that it doesn't matter. If someone is subscribed to a list for ages, if 
the person has nothing of interest to share, he shouldn't bother. I've 
only been on this list for the past 5-6 months or so, but I doubt it 
that you could teach me anything I don't already know.

So, unless you're actually about to explain something that's not trivial 
data lookup knowledge, I'd suggest you stop exercising this hubris and 
concentrate on learning something from the other list members.
