You really should be following me ("cinsoft" on Twitter). Good luck with the FAQ. :)

Good luck with the FAQ. :) I don't have much interest in following someone who cannot explain the reason for his own code (but keep up the marketing and you're bound to get some fool who will). -- Garrett comp.lang.javascript FAQ: http://jibbering.com/faq/

Once again, you are blind. Good luck with that!

Good luck with that! No, I am not blind. You posted a suggestion to use offsetLeft and offsetTop to check the work of setting top and left values. That sort of feature test cannot work reliably, as offsetTop being nonstandard features that define what would be the "expected" value. | And now for the cunning bit. Compare the new offsetLeft/Top property | values to the old. If they are the same, you "guessed" right. If | they are off, vive la difference! That test would be then expressed as `doesPositionStyleAffectOffset`. Now if there is a point to performing such test, it has not been stated by you nor by anyone else. If there is no point to that code, then I would suggest it's removal from wherever it exists. It does not seem to answer your proposed question: "How do I get the current left/top/right/bottom/height/width/etc. styles?" Nor am I hopeless. Annoyed, yes, a little annoyed. -- Garrett comp.lang.javascript FAQ: http://jibbering.com/faq/

Dig a little deeper. Twitter has the links you need (or just visit my home page). ;) > > | And now for the cunning bit. Compare the new offsetLeft/Top property > | values to the old.

Wrong. We've had this discussion more than once. I've all but spelled it out here. Now I have spelled it out (in code) on my site. > > If there is no point to that code, then I would suggest it's removal > from wherever it exists.

Asked and answered. > > Nor am I hopeless. Annoyed, yes, a little annoyed. Join the club. Starting with isHostMethod, then viewport measurement and now this (and many in between). I'm tired of revisiting the same "arguments" over and over. |
