how to calculate the coordinates of a span or div

[dsaba]

i am creating div elements and span elements in my page

 

example div:

<div id="uniqueid">some text</div>

 

I need to be able to know the coordinates of a specific div, by referencing its unique id

Kind of like searching for a div by its id, and then getting the coordinates of that div

 

Is there some kind of formula or algorithim I can use to do this?

 

Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated

if you download the NoGray JS Library, there are 4 functions you can use

 

getTopOffset()

getLeftOffset()

getHeight()

getWidth()
