[Javascript] Positioning in IE

[Peter Brunone]

	Just for the record, Hakan's is the most correct answer,
according to the DOM.  Also, you would never assign units to the
pixelLeft property since it takes an integer and assumes pixels... And
if you assign a property with units to the style.left property, you'd
need to feed it in as a string.

Cheers,

Peter

None of the previous replies, including the ones in your, are conformant

to the DOM standard. In fact, it's not going to work on any browser 
except Internet Explorer, and I have a hard time seeing how 
"glava.style.pixelLeft=500px" could ever work.

I just added my $0.02 in case somebody wanted to do it the RIGHT way, 
and don't want to split their code up more than necessary.
