Need to find the absolute position of an HTML element

[AdrianH]

All HTML elements have a bounding rect. I want to know what that bounding rect is relitive to the document window. Does anybody know how to find this using JavaScript?

function locate(hoo){	
	var T=0,L=0;
	while(hoo){
		L+= hoo.offsetLeft || 0;
		T+= hoo.offsetTop || 0;
		if(hoo== document.body) break;
		hoo= hoo.parentNode;		
	}
	var A= [L,T];
	return  A;
}

}

Thanks. Found the width and height elements too. I was surprised to find that they are not located with the style, but it makes sense to me now that I think about it.

Thanks again.
