Hello
I need to get the top and left cordinates of an html element, how could I go about doing that?

I have tried this
Code: 
<html>
 <head>
  <script>
   var table = document.getElementById("Table1");
   windows.alert(table.left);
   [green]//returns "undefined" [/green]  
  </script>
 </head>
 <body>
  <table id="Table1" ><tr><td></td></tr></table>
 </body>
</html>

Any idea's?

I figured it out.

Here is the answer

Code: 
<html>
 <head>
  <script>
   var table = document.getElementById("Table1");
   windows.alert(table.offsetTop);
  </script>
 </head>
 <body>
  <table id="Table1"><tr><td></td></tr></table>
 </body>
</html>
