Elements overlap when using position: absolute or fixed for staggerTo.

Hey guys,

 

I am totally new to GSAP (I just started using it last night), not to mention a junior developer in general.

 

I want to animate some elements on a page to move accross the page and fade out, all with the same class.

 

The part I am confused about though, is that in order for the elements to move they must be given a position property of absolute or fixed. (At least that's what the greensock tutorial said I had to do). When I apply this position property to the elements with the class I want to animate, they all stack on top of each other in the same place. 

 

How do I keep the elements from starting and ending at the same place in the window with this css property applied?

You can use relative positioning. I wouldn't use <p> tags though.
