Create a single HTML object, and modify its style attributes to move it whenever generate is called -- this will hopefully allow us to add events to it. Note that the event registration in this code currently fails: wehn triggerEvent is called, this.listeners['click'] is called, which is something I have not yet been able to fully understand.
