Display inline error message to the left or top

[ultrasound0000]

hi folks,

 

trying to figure out this ...

 

In the demo (http://www.leigeber.com/2008/04/dynamic-inline-javascript-form-validation/) the inline error message pops up to the right.  Because my form is all the way to the right of the screen, I need to display the inline message to the left or top of the form fields and not to the right.

 

Tried to tweak the code but no luck so far ... any help or tips greatly appreciated!

 

Here is the function from the demo that sets the left position:

 

function leftPosition(target) {
  var left = 0;
  if(target.offsetParent) {
    while(1) {
      left += target.offsetLeft;
      if(!target.offsetParent) {
        break;
      }
      target = target.offsetParent;
    }
  } else if(target.x) {
    left += target.x;
  }
  return left;
}
