get some info using javascript

[zero0x]

hi,

i am looking for object properties, that holds these informations:

- position of object - distance from top and left window border
- width and height of object - i was looking for this, and i found
clientWidth, it works in IE and Firefox, please tell me, if you have
something better.. it also works like document.body.clientWidth, so i
can get width of window

i am newbie, so be patient, thx

i need it to work in most browsers

It is, and the property is different in different browsers and even then
it measures offsets differently. The library covers all of that (or as
much as possible). So, you can use the library or end up writing your
own. The library is a lot simpler.

i found this code

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];
}

and i think it is better, what you think?

Please quote what you are replying to.

Put it back where you found it.

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];
}

and i think it is better, what you think?

I think we have a difference of opinion on which is better code, that or
Matt's library.
