 pixelLeft Property
pixelLeft Property

Sets or retrieves the left position of the object.

Syntax

HTMLN/A
Scripting[ iLeft = ] object.style.pixelLeft

Possible Values

iLeftInteger that specifies or receives the left position in pixels.

The property is read/write. The property has no default value. The Microsoft Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) extension is not inherited.

Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see About Dynamic Properties.

Remarks

The pixelLeft property reflects the value of the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) left attribute. Use the offsetLeft property to calculate actual positions within the document area.

Unlike the left property, the pixelLeft value is an integer, not a string, and is always interpreted in pixels.

For more information about how to access the dimension and location of an object on the page through the Dynamic HTML (DHTML) Document Object Model (DOM), see Measuring Element Dimension and Location.
