Hi Carlos,

I'm not sure I understood the question, mainly because I'm surprised that 
setting position=element in a base class would require the same code in the 
subclasses.

There is both a positioner and element variables because some early components 
were a tree of HTMLElements and the one you set positional styles on (left, 
right, top, bottom, width, height) might need to be different from the element 
that is listened to for events and may be the element that has the CSS "id" 
assigned to it and/or is the element that is referenced in accessibility.

In many cases, positioner == element.

I think you have to set positioner in createElement.  But there could certainly 
be some issue with the lifecycle.  Maybe the runtime error and call stack 
provides a clue.

    Hi Alex,
    
    many time ago to make possible make heavy use of styles easily, I created
    StyledUIBase that in part composed ClassSelectorList
    that uses "positioner". That's because jewel components use to be wrapped
    in other divs or similar to be able to draw it better and get the right
    look and feel.
    
    I had to make put in StyledUIBase.createElement this line
    
    positioner = element;
    
    to avoid an error at runtime
    
    This make me have to add this line in almost all Jewel Components
    
    I'm looking at this now with a bit more time to see how I can remove this.
    
    I'm starting from an example with just a button or just a label and trying
    to clean without luck
    
    If I left StyledUIBase without code and just extend UIBase still I found an
    error at runtime.
    
    Maybe is too late here and I must close now, but just want to know if you
    have some clue about what I need to do that just looking to StyledUIbase
    and Jewel Label or Jewel UIBase createElement.
    
    If you have some clue, I can take a look tomorrow and see if I can finally
    understand what's happening with positioner.
    
    Thanks
