Unless you are attempting to position an element at the start of a
link. Which is what I was doing in this case. A feature for work
requires that we have elements reporting on 'click' activity of each
link for a given set of HTML. We need to find the proper starting
position().left to have our informational overlay element properly
establish a visual relationship with the link.
It just looks goofy floating out in the middle of nowhere instead of
directly over the start of a link.
