Retrieve it like this:

var imgLeft=document.all.imageName.style.left;
var imgTop=document.all.imageName.style.top;

that's asuming they're positioned absolutely.
Hope this helps,

Or if not, the following will get the position of any object anywhere on the page, nested in any number of other objects.

This is taken straight from the DHTML menu I posted earlier.

var cNode = document.getElementById('...');
var l = 0;
var t = 0;
while(cNode.tagName!='BODY'){
l+=cNode.offsetLeft;
t+=cNode.offsetTop;
cNode=cNode.offsetParent;
}
}
