Hello,
I have an absolutely positioned element with top and left properties
set as follows (these are defined in an external stylesheet):
#my-element
{
position: absolute;
top: 5px;
left: 2px;
...
}
Its parent is the body element.
How do I get the top and left values as numbers? I tried $(''my-
element'').positionedOffset(), but that returns [0, 0] for some reason.
I must be missing something simple here. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, Getting the style properties is easy: http://www.prototypejs.org/api/element/getStyle That will return the style properties (e.g., with "px"). In my quick test, positionedOffset() also worked to get the computed numbers. Are you sure that when you call positionedOffset(), the DOM is loaded and the element is visible (e.g., not display: none)? Hope this helps, -- T.J.
