Remarks

Only use the IHTMLRuleStyle2::right attribute when the IHTMLRuleStyle2::position attribute is set; otherwise, the value of the IHTMLRuleStyle2::right attribute is ignored.

You cannot use the IHTMLRuleStyle2::right property in script to calculate the position of the object in the document, because the value of the IHTMLRuleStyle2::right property is a string. Instead, use the IHTMLRuleStyle2::pixelRight property or the IHTMLRuleStyle2::posRight property.

You cannot use the IHTMLRuleStyle2::right property to calculate the position of the object in the document, because the value of the IHTMLRuleStyle2::right property is a string.

For more information about how to access the dimension and location of objects on the page through the DHTML Object Model, see Measuring Element Dimension and Location with CSSOM in Internet Explorer 9.
