How exactly is that first token positioned on the screen?

I'm just curious as to how exactly that first token is positioned on the game board. It looks like it is originally positioned to fill the space in the top left corner and then moved up (top: -50px in the token class). So how was it positioned in that top left space? Did it have anything to do with this snippet of html?

<div id = "token" data-column = "0">

Or was it just the absolute positioning in the .token class?

Thanks in advance for clarifying!

Check the token class' CSS property in .token{} in style.css. It has a property called 'top' with a value of -50px, try changing that value and see how that affects the rendering of the initial token. Also try adding another property, say 'left' with a value of 50px and see how that affects the rendered token.
