image positions

[MrAdam]

does anybody know how to return the positions of an image (ie. top, left), that hasn't been set to position:absolute ? - if it's even possible..for example:

<script type="text/javascript">function retrnPos(obj) {	alert(' .. image top and image left .. ');}</script><img src="..." onClick="retrnPos(this);" />

-Thanks

I use offsetLeft and offsetTop quite often.

var img = document.getElementById("MyPic");var left = img.offsetLeft;var top = img.offsetTop;

jesh: can that be applied to other elements too? like div?

Yeah, I use it all the time. It's part of the DOM. You can get the left and top positions (offsetLeft, offsetTop) as well as the height and width (offsetHeight, offsetWidth) for any element.Different browsers seem to return different numbers (no suprise there, right?), but they are internally consistent: obj1.offsetLeft - obj2.offsetLeft should return the same value in both Firefox and IE.
