[Javascript] getting position

[Chris T]

Here's some code I have on a current app:
-------------------


 function defineCropRegion(){
  var objItem = document.getElementById("editImage")
  var objParent = null
  var intX = 0
  var intY = 0
  do
   { // Walk up our document tree until we find the body
    // and add the distance from the parent to our counter.
    intX += objItem.offsetLeft
    intY += objItem.offsetTop
    objParent = objItem.offsetParent.tagName
    objItem = objItem.offsetParent
   }
  while(objParent != 'BODY')


  var myScrollX
  var myScrollY
  (isIE) ? myScrollX = document.body.scrollLeft: myScrollX =
window.pageXOffset;
  (isIE) ? myScrollY = document.body.scrollTop: myScrollY =
window.pageYOffset;

  var intImgLeft = intX - myScrollX
  var intImgTop = intY - myScrollY
 }
