The JavaScript function presented in this page (named getBoxPS() ) can be used to get the top /left position and width /height sizes of Div in page, or other HTML elements.
The function receives the HTML element and returns an object with four properties: "x", "y" for the "Left" and "Top" position of that element, and "w", "h" for the "Width" and "Height" sizes (in pixels).
It works in all major browsers: Chrome, Firefox, IE, Opera, Safary.
//JS function to get position and size of html element - https://coursesweb.net/javascript/
