> Would leftFromParent simply be 'el.offsetLeft'? Yep!
> What is the difference between leftFromDocument and leftFromWindow? A document is positioned within a window. For example, I'm typing this in Gmail and the document is 1500px tall (just a guess) while my browser window is only 1200px tall - causing a scrollbar to appear. So, this is important for many dynamic applications, because you need to know exactly where an element is visible to the user. Oh - I also remembered the result of the features that I was going to do: $(window).width()/.height() $(document).width()/.height() $(document).left()/.top() = The scroll offset of the document $(window).left()/.top() = The position of the window on the screen Also, it'd be really nice to have associated convenience methods for "bottom" and "right". Just some more to chew on. --John _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
