<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Here's my problem, I have a div, and the posotion is set to absolute, and it is placed via CSS (e.g top and left values). I need to be able to read and set those from javascript, so naturally I call<br />
<br />
var id = 'someDiv';<br />
var xPos = document.getElementById(id<wbr />).style.le<wbr />ft;<br />
xPos = parseInt(xPos);<br />
alert('xPos = '+xPos);<br />
<br />
For some reason, untill I set the actual left value via javascript all I get is 'xPos = NaN'? I need to be able to retreive the original X, Y coordinates of a dive before I set the new position, due to the nature of the code that I'm writing. All help is appreciated! Thanks in advance,<br />
<br />
