offsetLeft property

  • Article

[This documentation is preliminary and is subject to change.]

Retrieves the calculated left position of the object relative to the layout or coordinate parent, as specified by the IHTMLElement::offsetParent property.

Syntax

HRESULT value = object.get_offsetLeft(* p);

Property values

Type: long

the left position, in pixels.

Remarks

You can determine the location, width, and height of an object by using a combination of the IHTMLElement::offsetLeft, IHTMLElement::offsetTop, IHTMLElement::offsetHeight, and IHTMLElement::offsetWidth properties. These numeric properties specify the physical coordinates and dimensions of the object relative to the object's offset parent.

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