how to get the Offset right of an object?

[biggie_mac]

Is there a way to find out the "OffsetRight" property of an object? I need to find where the right/top point of my div is. I know OffsetLeft and OffsetTop work but there OffsetRight doesn't exist. One way to find out is to add the OffsetLeft and the width of the div. Only I don't know the width of my div. So how can I find out the offsetRight of my div? Anybody has any ideea?

you can get the width of the div as long as it has been set i believe doing this:

document.getElementById(myDiv).style.width

javascript is case sensitive
offsetLeft, offsetTop, offsetWidth, offsetHeight

On the other hand, offset position returns a relative value, relative to the object's parent. So my next question is: you need to find the offset position relative to what? To the document (which is known also as absolute position)?

I have only 1 main div so it's fine. That's not a problem. Problem is in Javascript there is no offsetRight! Only offsetLeft and offsetTop....offsetBottom and offsetRight don't exist.

I don't know the width of the div, because the text in it changes so it has different widths.

the width is offsetWidth
