I want to implement drag and drop for tables, divs, spans. The problem is
that I don't know how wide or long my tables, divs and spans are going to be
in advance so I cannot use absolute coordinates. (It always seemed odd to me
that there is no function called GetExtent that would return the bounding
rectangle of an object -- this would solve my problem).
There is a way, however, to fetch the coordinates of an object (such as a
table, or td, or span) and then change the positioning to absolute and then
change the coordinates according to the mouse movements.
How do I get the coordinates? I tried doing
alert(document.getElementById('x').style.left) but this only returned an
empty string.
I know it is possible because I posted this query once before (about a year
ago) and received a response but cannot remember where I saved it!
Thanks,
Siegfried
