Hi,
Getting the style properties is easy:
http://www.prototypejs.org/api/element/getStyle
That will return the style properties (e.g., with "px"). In my quick
test, positionedOffset() also worked to get the computed numbers. Are
you sure that when you call positionedOffset(), the DOM is loaded and
the element is visible (e.g., not display: none)?
Hope this helps,
