I looked at this, but I'm not sure how this would allow me to get the position of an element. Can you elaborate? Also, one more thing I didn't mention. With the absolutely positioned lightbox, it is acceptable that I get the position of the element with respect to the lightbox. Although if I can get it with respect to the entire page, that would be fine too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
