hey.


I have a document with an iframe and an element inside the iframe. I need to find the absolute coordinates of the element with respect to the document (not iframe).

how can I do this (I can get the absolute coordonates of the element inside the iframe with respect to iframe)? (please note that the document might have more than one iframe)

thank you!

ok... got it.

you can do this from the element like this:
- get the coords of the element with respect to its iframe
- get the iframe coords in the parent document. to access the iframe in the parent document one can use:
window.frameElement
