If you look at the documentation for jQuery you'll see that many jQuery
functions either return jQuery itself, or an array of elements. Your usage
would return an array of the element in question so you might want to try
something like this
$("#TheDivInQuestion")[0].style.top
Hope that helps!

Subject: [jQuery] Getting Style Information (left/top)
Hello,
I'm a(nother?) new person to Jquery and have found it to be
*excellent* so far (when I say that I may be understating how damned
awesome it is!!)
There is only one thing that has been bothering me - I can't seem to
find a way of finding a position of an item with an easy Jquery
shortcut.
i.e. to find out the style.top value of an element, I have to use the
following :
document.getElementById("TheDivInQuestion").style.top
Am I missing something that does this with something like : $
("#TheDivInQuestion").top or $("#TheDivInQuestion").style.top :?
(both of which don't work for me..)
Thanks in advance,
Paul Hutson
