// *** This styling is an extra step which is likely not required. *** | |

// Why is it here? To ensure: | |
// 1. the element is able to have focus and selection. | |
// 2. if element was to flash render it has minimal visual impact. | |
// 3. less flakyness with selection and copying which **might** occur if | |
// the textarea element is not visible. | |
// | |
// The likelihood is the element won't even render, not even a | |
// flash, so some of these are just precautions. However in | |
// Internet Explorer the element is visible whilst the popup | |
// box asking the user for permission for the web page to | |
// copy to the clipboard. | |

// Place in top-left corner of screen regardless of scroll position. | |
