Hi, I have a question about Java. I'm really new to Java so this is not something I'm familiar with..
My question is, how do I get the values of pos.offsetTop and pos.offsetLeft to show up in my input box??

Here is the java code:

	function getPosition(element) {
		var left = 0;
		var top = 0;
		if(element.offsetParent) {
			while(element) {
				left += element.offsetLeft;
				top += element.offsetTop;
				element = element.offsetParent;
			}
		}
		return {offsetLeft: left, offsetTop: top};
	}

	var element = document.getElementById('elem');
	var pos = getPosition(element);
	document.Show.X.value = pos.offsetTop;
	document.Show.Y.value = pos.offsetLeft;
	return true
	}

Here's the HTML:

<div id="elem">My Element</div>
<form name="Show">
<input type="text" name="X" value="0" size="4"> X<br>
<input type="text" name="Y" value="0" size="4"> Y<br>
</form>

Can someone please help me fix my code.. I can't seem to get the values from the java into the form.

This is not Java; this is Javascript and both languages haven't much in common. Do you want me to move your question to the Javascript forum?
