xenophobia Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I would suggest you to use the prototype.js to solve all your js problems. prototype is a javascript library file that provide a lot of function that can ease your task in programming javascript. (You can get the element's position easily.) www.prototypejs.org Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/103936-how-to-get-top-and-left-values/#findComment-534206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrongmove18 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 var top = document.getElementById("ID").offsetTop; var left = document.getElementById("ID").offsetLeft; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/103936-how-to-get-top-and-left-values/#findComment-534217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenophobia Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 That not always the true position. Especially they are relatively positioned. The position are counted to their parent node instead of the actual document.
