Right...I thought about using dimensions, but I don't think we're explicitly setting top. So rather than loading in a plugin for only one usage location, I just went a different route. Thanks for the reply Glen. andy

What does firebug/ie developer say? Are you looking for it's placement? You might want to use the dimensions plugin, which can give exact placement.

I'm using this code: var inventoryObj = $('#inventory'); inventoryObj.css('top'); But it just returns "auto". 1) Am I using the correct method? 2) If so, is there a different method that I can use to get the value that I need? ____________________________________ Andy Matthews Senior Coldfusion Developer Office: 877.707.5467 x747 Direct: 615.627.9747 Fax: 615.467.6249 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.dealerskins.com <http://www.dealerskins.com/>
