pixelLeft Property


Sets or retrieves the left position of the object.

Syntax

HTMLN/A
Scriptingobject.style.pixelLeft [ = iLeft ]

Possible Values

iLeftInteger that specifies the left position, in pixels.

The property is read/write with no default value.

Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see Dynamic Properties.

Remarks

The pixelLeft property reflects the value of the cascading style sheets (CSS) left attribute for positioned items. The property always returns 0 for nonpositioned items, because "left" has meaning only when the object is positioned. Use the offsetLeft property to calculate actual positions within the document area.

Unlike the left property, the pixelLeft value is an integer, not a string, and is always interpreted in pixels.

For more information about how to access the dimension and location of objects on the page through the document object model, see Measuring Element Dimension and Location.
