pixelLeft Property

Sets or retrieves the left position of the object.

Syntax

HTML	N/A
Scripting	object.style.pixelLeft [ = iLeft ]

Possible Values

iLeft

Integer that specifies or receives the left position in pixels.

The property is read/write. The property has no default value. The Microsoft Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) extension is not inherited.

Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. .

Remarks

The pixelLeft property reflects the value of the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) left attribute. Use the offsetLeft property to calculate actual positions within the document area.

Unlike the left property, the pixelLeft value is an integer, not a string, and is always interpreted in pixels.
