Getting the x/y of any div...

[Luckyrare]

Is there a way of getting the x/y of any div using javascript? Could anyone link me to a tutorial or code me something quickly.

Thanks

Meh i found this but it seems like a lousy way of doing it:

Its easy to do via the DOM. How are you positioning the div to stat with though? Absoulte? relative? etc?
If by css you may use for example.


<style>
#box {
position:absolute;
left:50px;
top:20px;
}
</style>
<div id="box"></div>

You could get the values by.

topval = document.getElementById('box').style.top;
leftval = document.getElementById('box').style.left;

Using your method Entor, how would you then go on to echo out the values?

Youd use js to take data to and from the page and the php script.
