Hi Everyone!
I need to get the position coordinate (left and top)of a object (any object, lets say image) in browser window. The position should be with respect to browser window's size i.e we should take care the browser's size, scrolling etc. So the position will be variant if we resize the browser window. Please give me some idea.
I used -
document.getEle mentById("myImg ").getBoundingC lientRect(). But not got proper position.
Also I used but didn't work. - while (element) {
-
coords.x += element.offsetLeft;
-
coords.y += element.offsetTop;
-
element = element.offsetParent;
-
}// returning coords

you may have a look here ... and see whether that helps?
kind regards
Thanks gits!
But, the example mentioned be you finds the real position. If you resize the page and run the script again, it points to the correct new position of the element.
Actually I am looking to get the position w.r.to browser. Let say my object's actual position is (100,100). When I resize the browser or scroll, I should get current position (say 10,20), not actual position. Can you please tell me?

are you trying to get the object's coords on the screen or the object's coords in the browser?
you talk of resizing the browser is confusing, as that could leave either of the two coords noted above unchanged.
moving the browser window would affect the screen coords, but not the browser coords.
jumping ahead, to get the screen coords, you will have to add in the position of the browser relative to the screen.

Yes, I wanted to find out the screen coords actually. Thanks!

Use screenX/screenY - cross-browser compatible too.

Here's my situation. I have a statically positioned table that has an image
in a cell. I also have some layers, defined by absolute-positioned DIVs for
some animation. Everything works until I scroll/resize. Then the image
"moves" on the screen but the animation doesn't. The net effect is that
their relative positioning changes. I'd like to have it be that they would
stay in the same relative position. I want to keep the image as an...

Move your cursor over the yellow area and you should see the mouse

Suppose you got a really long page and you'd like to enable
the user (supposedly, there's only one but if it's not to
difficult we could extend that to any number) not to have
to scroll to the last position in the document he/she was
viewing but simply auto-jump him/her to it. Is that doable
at all using JS?
I guess it would be somewhere in the vicinity of:
- remember every scroll
- save the line number to the users HDD

I have a scrollable vb.net form with a web browser (axWebBrowser) instance on

All is well until I try to change the left/top (and perhaps height/width) of
the web browser on the form. If the form is scrolled so that the top of a
browser control is not showing, then the browser is lost.
The behavior is especially amusing if part of the browser is visible, and
part is above the window. The change works, but the portion of the...

Hi,
It seems like determining element position in a web page is a difficult
task. In the position reporting source code I've looked at there are
special fixes for at least some versions of Safari and Opera. I am
doing a lot of dragdrop experimentation and in some situations need a
position reporting function. The function doesn't need to report the
positions of exotic elements like images in button elements; however, I

Hi to All,
I am new to html authoring, so sorry if my terminology is not correct or
exact.
I would like to position a footer div to the bottom of the browser window.
As I research in the web shows this could be done a containing element with
"min-height: 100%;" and an absolute positioned element (div) inside, aligned
to bottom ("position: absolute; bottom:0px")
