I need to get an elements top and left position on a page,
but i havent given it an absolute positioning.

Is it possible to get an elements exact position with its Id and/or Name without it having been positioned somewhere with absolute positioning?

@KorJun 23.2005 — [code=php]
<script type="text/JavaScript">
function findPos(){
var obj = document.getElementById('bla');
var posX = obj.offsetLeft;var posY = obj.offsetTop;
while(obj.parentNode){
posX=posX+obj.parentNode.offsetLeft;
posY=posY+obj.parentNode.offsetTop;
if(obj==document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]){break}
else{obj=obj.parentNode;}
}
alert(posX+'-'+posY)
}
onload=findPos;
</script>
