Get The Location And Size Of An Element
All modern browsers ship
with the getBoundingClientRrect()
function. It can be invoked for any DOM element. It returns the x and y coordinates of the element within the browser viewport as well as the height and width values and the top and bottom values along the y-axis and left and right values along the x-axis.
> $0.getBoundingClientRect()
{
"x": 381.421875,
"y": 70,
"width": 1030.578125,
"height": 48,
"top": 70,
"right": 1412,
"bottom": 118,
"left": 381.421875
}
For instance, this is the result of invoking it against a header element on the MDN page linked above.
