X and Y coordinates of Link Button

[PokerJoker]

I know you can do it with an ImageButton... but i'm bound by the fact that
i'm using a third party control with a link button, i'd really like to get
the X and Y coordinates of the control so that i can position a pop over div
appropriately on the click (using ajax).

Thanks!

It can be done using the DOM on the client-side, with JavaScript. It can be
a little tricky, as the DOM is a little different in IE and FireFox, but if
you structure your HTML correctly, you should be able to do it. It's
basically a matter of either, if the element is absolutely positioned, just
getting its position, or if it is inside another element, working your way
up the hierarchy of elements.
