Problem with FF ( using expressions in javascript )

[tibord]

i have the following line in .NET 1.1 ascx file
<div id="balloon" align="left" style="position:absolute; top:
expression(<%=y%>+<%=imageId%>.offsetTop);
left:expression(<%=x%>+<%=imageId%>.offsetLeft); width:<%=width%>;
height:<%=height%>; z-index:1">

in IE it displays fine but in FF the text and the ballon are placed on
the same spot every time and that is the bottom left corner. the
Javascript console returns:

Error: Error in parsing value for property 'top'. Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://doesnotmatterwhichsite/brwtst/562?i=562
Line: 0

it gives this both for top and left

as it came to my understaning expression() is an IE enhancemnt. can someone help me how to make this work without using the expression() .

Thanks and Happy New Year

Load your page and paste only the HTML and JS Source. You've got way too many variables in the problem. Cut out the .Net stuff, you'll be able to fix that once your HTML/JS problem is solved.
