Hi all ,

Is it possible to get the x and y of an html element ? i tried doing that with top and left but it is not working.And what i was doing is placing an element under another one directly.So i wrote :

JavaScript

e1.left=e.left;
e1.top=e.top+100;

in javascript code.But the placement is not ok.

So how to fix that ?

Thanks in advance.
