Please see my code here http://jsbin.com/ijoxa3/edit
var drawHorizondalLine = function(x1,y1,x2,y2, color) {
var width = Math.abs(x1 - x2);
var posX = (x1 > x2) ? x1 : x2;
var id ='c_'+new Date().getTime()
var line = "<div id='"+id+"'class='line'> </div>";
$('body').append(line);
$('#'+id).css({
left: posX,
top: y1,
width: width,
position:'absolute',
backgroundColor: color
});
};
$(document).ready(function() {
drawHorizondalLine(0, 10, 200, 10, '#a00');
drawHorizondalLine(0, 50, 100, 50, '#0a0');
});
<style>
.line{
padding;1px;
}
</style>
<body>
<p id="hello">Hello World</p>
</body>
</html>
The function call drawHorizondalLine(0, 10, 200, 10, '#a00'); is suppose to draw a line form the top left corner of the page, 100px in length, but the the line appear to start from the last div of the body.
Where is the mistake?
