A final correction on your stream of incorrect statements:
> posLeft is a direct instruction and that's why it is faster than
> pixelLeft, because pixelLeft adds or substracts from the existing value
> and while doing so it consumes some processing power.
> posLeft will simply overwrite the old value, thats why it is a bit faster.
No. posLeft will use whatever unit previously specified. Meaning that if
you have something positioned 40% from the left, and change the posLeft
with +10, it will then be positioned 50% from the left.
The pixelLeft property, however, always uses pixels as the unit.
I hope this clear things up for anybody who was wondering.
