jQuery position() Method With Syntax and Example

The position() method returns the first matched element's position (relative to its parent element). This method returns a pixel-based object with two properties: top and left.

$(selector).position()

The top and left positions of a

element are returned:

$("button").click(function(){
  var x = $("p").position();
  alert("Top: " + x.top + " Left: " + x.left);
});
