Distance from the top of the window to an element

gr8gonzo · Feb 15, 2001

Hi,
Basically I need to get just that - the distance from the top of the window to an element, namely an image, but without specifically defining the top property in a STYLE attribute, because the image will change its vertical location from page to page. I have posted an example here:

Please check out my existing code before posting. Thank you!

in IE you can use document.element.offsetTop and document.element.offsetTop adam@aauser.com

Actually, I've got IE working already, but need a fix for Netscape.

Interesting - this could be the key to my resolution fix.

You may just add a 1-pixel transðarent GIF file at the top of a page, specifying it's dimentions - it's a well-knows and commonly used trick of web designers.
It's also worth to add this to a <body> tag:
topmargin=0 marginheight=0
