Question

would like to use a loop to express this ..

$("div:nth-child(3)").css({"left": "5px"});
$("div:nth-child(2)").css({"left": "215px"});
$("div:nth-child(1)").css({"left": "425px"});

how can each be referenced…

var x=0;
$("div").each(function(){
   x=x+100;
   $(this).css('position','absolute'); 
   $(this).css({"left": "xpx"});  // not sure about this line
  });

Answer 1

var x=0;
$("div").each(function(){
   x = x + 100;
   $(this).css({'position':'absolute', 'left': x + 'px'});
});
