Parameters

  • targets: String | Element | Array | NodeList | FlipState

Returns : Array​

An Array of the Elements that were affected

Details​

Sets all of the provided target elements to position: absolute while retaining their current positioning. This functionality is already built into the standard Flip.from() and Flip.fit() using the absolute: true special property, but this method is exposed in case you'd like to use it independently. You could literally make all the elements in the document position: absolute by running Flip.makeAbsolute("*") (not that you'd ever need to do that).
