I want an HTML element (let say a span or div) to be present

  • 0

I want an HTML element (let say a span or div) to be present on the page, but not take up any space, so I can switch on and off the visibility property, and nothing moves but the span disappears.
for example take a table. I want an ‘edit’ label to show at each row, when I move the mouse over. But I don’t want it to take up space from the table width. I just want it to ‘float’ beside the table.
Any ideas how to achieve this?

  • I can not to use javascript. So I’ll be very glad if this is possible with CSS only.
  • I have tried to use float, its not good because no element overlaps with it. (And i do want overlapping.)
