You could use this little bit of code to find the position of one
element then do the work to place the other element using the new found
co-ords
function GetElementPostion(xElement){
var selectedPosX = 0;
var selectedPosY = 0;
var theElement = document.getElementById(xElement);
while(theElement != null){
selectedPosX += theElement.offsetLeft;
selectedPosY += theElement.offsetTop;
theElement = theElement.offsetParent;
}
return selectedPosX+"px" + "," + selectedPosY + "px";
}
Cheers,
Mark

Hmmm, I think that you could adapt a javascript/css fix that I found on
an
ALA article (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/footer) you might need
to
factor in padding, margins, borders, and heights of the different
elements
in your page.

Subject: [WSG] Possible Min-height issue
Hello all,
Here's my page:
http://66.155.251.20/picotte.com/about/index.cfm
All is well except...
What I need is for the bottom of the 'grey bar with little squares'
image below the copy to stay flush with the bottom of the blue on the
right (below "Brokers Only") **when the content/copy is _not_ longer
than the right, blue side of the page**. When it is, it should push
down the page along with the footer, staying in place below the
copy/content.
Seems like a min-height thing, but can I actually do that to the
#content div in my current situation? I was attempting to implement the
min-height fix from mezzoblue, but it seemed to have no effect (at
least not the effect I was looking for ;-) ).
Any help would be greatly, and publicly, appreciated as well as incite
a lengthy "happy-dance" here in my office. Sorry, no video feed...
