Q:

Placing text characters w/ javascript without using a div

I am going to be placing a lot of characters and words all over a web page using absolute positioning. I could put each character in it's own div, then set it's position. Is there any other way to place an individual word or character on a page without putting it in a div (to save memory). I figure not (which is fine), but if there is another way I'd like to explore it.

A:

Try using html canvas. It will allow you to draw text to it at any position you want. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Drawing_text_using_a_canvas
