i’m trying to place some pop ups regarding to the
opener window, so i need the x and y pos.

works fine in netscape on mac, win and ie on win using
following script:

if (document.all) {
y = window.screenTop;
x = window.screenLeft;
}
else if (document.layers) {
x = window.screenX;
y = window.screenY;
}

but returns undefined on ie on a mac?!
is there anything i can do about this?

I’m out of time, patience and my mind… but I have plenty of excuses.

thanks for the link.

strangely, you can position a popup dynamicaly on mac ie,
using the window top and left attributes.

i’ve done that and it works.

but if i want javascript to retrieve that information,
since i don’t know the position of the original browser window,
it will return “undefined” for the screenTop attribute
or “[window object]” for the top attribute on mac ie…
