Elements position relative to another element

[Menster]

Hi there,

I'm busy trying to build an interface where users can create a sort of collage with images that they upload. I know it is possible to get the position of a DHTML element relative to the screen, the problem is I need the coordinates relative to a main div tag so that I can "compile" the collage and then when it gets served it will look the same regardless of screen size.

Thanks in advance for any help

Then just get the absolute positions of both then subtract the item you want's position from the item that it's relative from.

Box1 : x 100, y 200
Box2 : x 234, y 123
Box2 Relative Box1: x 134, y -77

Got it working :)
