Sets or retrieves the top position of the object.
Syntax
HTML N/A Scripting object.style.pixelTop [ = iTop ]
Possible Values
iTop Integer that specifies the top 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 pixelTop property reflects the value of the cascading style sheets (CSS) top attribute for positioned items. The property always returns 0 for nonpositioned items, because "top" has meaning only when the object is positioned. Use the offsetTop property to calculate actual positions within the document area.
Unlike the top property, the pixelTop value is an integer, not a string, and is always interpreted in pixels.
