Relative to the table? To the browser? To the screen?

Sorry - I didn't see the title!

I know there's a post that did this... I'll try and hunt it down.

Use offsetTop and offsetWidth.

Evidently you're asking for more than just the properties, since I supplied the same answer in another forum. Here's a complete script:

function findPosX(obj)
{
	var curleft = 0;
	if (obj.offsetParent)
	{
		while (obj.offsetParent)
		{
			curleft += obj.offsetLeft
			obj = obj.offsetParent;
		}
	}
	else if (obj.x)
		curleft += obj.x;
	return curleft;
}

function findPosY(obj)
{
	var curtop = 0;
	if (obj.offsetParent)
	{
		while (obj.offsetParent)
		{
			curtop += obj.offsetTop
			obj = obj.offsetParent;
		}
	}
	else if (obj.y)
		curtop += obj.y;
	return curtop;
}

Just pass in the object whose position you're curious about, to both of these scripts. They'll return the element's current left (horizontal) and top (verical) positions, respectively.
