HTML element position

Hi,

I'm using 'elementFromPoint' to return me an html 'element' object. this works fine. I would like to know the element's left and top coordinates.
Any ideas?

hey MrJul,
I'm using 'variant' for the internet explorer object. is there a way to convert your code so that it works with this?

It depends of what is stored in your Variant.
If it is a IWebBrowser2 interface as I suspect, do the following :

Replace
function GetElemCoordsFromPoint(WB: TWebBrowser; X, Y: Integer): TPoint;

By
function GetElemCoordsFromPoint(WB: IWebBrowser2; X, Y: Integer): TPoint;

Then use the following code to call the function :
(V is assumed to be your Variant)

var
    Pt: TPoint;
    VarData: PVarData;
begin
    VarData := FindVarData(V);
    GetElemCoordsFromPoint(IWebBrowser2(VarData^.VDispatch), X, Y);
