Hi,

How do I get the position of an object? An anchor for example.

Thank you.

This is only a half of answer, because the offset position is [I]relative[/I] to the object's DOM parent. To get the [B]absolute[/B] position of an object you need to circle through all the object's parents and add their offset position values as well:
<i>
</i>function findPos(obj){
var posX = obj.offsetLeft, posY = obj.offsetTop;
while(obj.offsetParent){
posX=posX+obj.offsetParent.offsetLeft;
posY=posY+obj.offsetParent.offsetTop;
if(obj==document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]){break}
else{obj=obj.offsetParent;}
}
return [posX,posY]
}

Success!
