UL List Item - Setting offsetTop

[glenelkins]

Hi

 

I can get the offsetTop value of an unordered list like so:

 

var LI_Items = document.getElementsByTagName ( "li" );

for ( var i = 0; i < LI_Items.length; i++ ) {

   var this_offsetTop = LI_Items[i].offsetTop;

}

 

but how do i set the offsetTop ?? If i try  LI_Items.offsetTop = 10  its produces an error

It's because your putting a variable in the for condition.

how do you mean? I used that as an example of how I can get the objects offsetTop. All I need to know is how do i set the list item offsetTop to something different

try this instead and see if it is what your wanting:

 

<script language="javascript">

var LI_Items = document.getElementsByTagName("li");

for (i=0;i<LI_Items.length;i++) {

LI_Items[i].style.marginTop="10";

}

</script>
