posWidth Property


Sets or retrieves the width of the object in the units specified by the cascading style sheets (CSS) width attribute.

Syntax

HTMLN/A
Scriptingobject.style.posWidth [ = iWidth ]

Possible Values

iWidthInteger that specifies any valid floating-point number that uses the same length units as the width attribute.

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

Setting the posWidth property changes the value of the width, but leaves the units designator for the property unchanged.

Unlike the width property, the posWidth property value is a floating-point number, not a string.

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.

Example

This example uses the posWidth property to increase the width of the first IMG object by 10 units.

Sample Code

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript">
document.all.tags("IMG").item(0).style.posWidth += 10;
</SCRIPT>
