- AnchorPosition.js
- Author: Matt Kruse
- Last modified: 10/11/02
-
- DESCRIPTION: These functions find the position of an <A> tag in a document,
- so other elements can be positioned relative to it.
-
- COMPATIBILITY: Netscape 4.x,6.x,Mozilla, IE 5.x,6.x on Windows. Some small
- positioning errors - usually with Window positioning - occur on the
- Macintosh platform.
-
- FUNCTIONS:
- getAnchorPosition(anchorname)
- Returns an Object() having .x and .y properties of the pixel coordinates
- of the upper-left corner of the anchor. Position is relative to the PAGE.
-
- getAnchorWindowPosition(anchorname)
- Returns an Object() having .x and .y properties of the pixel coordinates
- of the upper-left corner of the anchor, relative to the WHOLE SCREEN.
-
- NOTES:
-
- 1) For popping up separate browser windows, use getAnchorWindowPosition.
- Otherwise, use getAnchorPosition
-
- 2) Your anchor tag MUST contain both NAME and ID attributes which are the
- same. For example:
- <A NAME="test" ID="test"> </A>
-
- 3) There must be at least a space between <A> </A> for IE5.5 to see the
- anchor tag correctly. Do not do <A></A> with no space.
