Getting an objects location

[adam84]

does anyone know a JS method that will return either the X or Y coords on a certain object???

I want to get the Y coord.

 

Thanks

from quirksmode.com:

function findPos(obj) {
var curleft = curtop = 0;
if (obj.offsetParent) {
	curleft = obj.offsetLeft
	curtop = obj.offsetTop
	while (obj = obj.offsetParent) {
		curleft += obj.offsetLeft
		curtop += obj.offsetTop
	}
}
return [curleft,curtop];
}
