<DIV><SPAN class=514462314-04062007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to
dynamically get the numeric value for the top of an object. I'm using this
code:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=514462314-04062007><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=514462314-04062007><FONT face=Arial size=2>var inventoryObj =
$('#inventory');</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=514462314-04062007></SPAN><SPAN class=514462314-04062007><FONT
color=#5c5c5c size=3><FONT face=Arial color=#000000
size=2>inventoryObj.css('top');</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=514462314-04062007><FONT color=#5c5c5c size=3><FONT face=Arial
color=#000000 size=2></FONT></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=514462314-04062007><FONT color=#5c5c5c size=3><FONT face=Arial
color=#000000 size=2>But it just returns "auto".</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=514462314-04062007><FONT color=#5c5c5c size=3><FONT face=Arial
color=#000000 size=2></FONT></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=514462314-04062007><FONT color=#5c5c5c size=3><FONT face=Arial
color=#000000 size=2>1) Am I using the correct
method?</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=514462314-04062007><FONT color=#5c5c5c size=3><FONT face=Arial
color=#000000 size=2>2) If so, is there a different method that I can use to get
the value that I need?</FONT></DIV></FONT></SPAN>
