How to create a button that will overlay each html element with class WSEDIT.

First I Know I'll need a javascript loop to find each element with css Class WSEDIT and create on the fly a button and prepend this button in each element with WSEDIT class.

Example of javascript loop and the button creation

$(function()
   $(".WSEDIT").each(function(){
      var btnConfigure = $("<div class='BBtnConfigure'>");
      $(this).prepend(btnConfigure);
   });
);   


<div class="WSEDIT" style="width:200px;height:400px;border:1px solid #000000">
    <p>"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore 
    </p>
<div>

<div class="WSEDIT" style="width:200px;height:400px;border:1px solid #000000">
   <h2>Sale For First Trimestriel</h2>
   <img src="/graph.png" />
<div>


<div class="WSEDIT" style="width:200px;height:400px;border:1px solid #000000">
   <table>
     <tr><td>Name</td><td>Sex</td></td>Age</td<td>Country</td></tr>
     ...
   </table>

<div>

Here is what I'm trying to do in the following picture.

The question is , What should be the CSS for my btn class button BBtnConfigure
As you can see in the picture, the BtnConfigure is overlapping each Section.

1. The container (WSEDIT) should have position:relative so you can absolutely-position the button.
2. The button should be inside the container
3. The button needs: position:absolute; top:-10px; right:-20px (approximately)
