javascript thread: Getting co-ordinates of a box after display.
I've simplified a problem I'm having to the following:
Take two DIV boxes styles defined as:
#box1
{
width:200px;
border:1px solid red;
padding:5px;
}
#box2
{
margin-top:10px;
width:200px;
border:1px solid blue;
padding:5px;
}
Put the boxes within the body of a page:
<div id=box1><p>Lorem ipsum dolor esit amet, cons incidunt ut labore et
dolore magna trud exercitation ullamcorpor susc vel eum irure dolor in
reprehende dlore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.</p></div>
<div id=box2><p>At lupatum delenit aigue duos dolor tempor sunt in culpa
qui officia de dereud fails est er expedit distinc peccand quaerer en
imigent cupidat.</p></div>
What I'm after is the pixel position of the top of the lower box so that I
can place an object relative to it (actually within it). I won't know
where the second box is because I don't know if the user has selected
large, medium or small text size on their browser.
Thanks in advance.
