setLocation(x, y)

dessIndent
Sets the location of an element. It takes as input the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) coordinates 
\
- starting from the TOP LEFT side of the screen.
Please note that location should not be altered at runtime when an element is anchored. Use the solutionModel in such a situation.

NOTE: getLocationX() can be used with getLocationY() to return the current location of an element; then use the X and Y coordinates with the setLocation function to set a new location. For Example:

//returns the X and Y coordinates
var x = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getLocationX();
var
y = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getLocationY(); //sets the new location 10 px to the right; 10 px down from the current location
