Retrieve the position (X,Y) of an HTML element relative to the browser window

Question

I want to know how to get the X and Y position of HTML elements such as img and div in JavaScript relative to the browser window.

Answer 1

/**
 *
 * @param {HTMLElement} el
 * @return {{top: number, left: number}}
 */
function getDocumentOffsetPosition(el) {
    var position = {
        top: el.offsetTop,
        left: el.offsetLeft
    };
    if (el.offsetParent) {
        var parentPosition = getDocumentOffsetPosition(el.offsetParent);
        position.top += parentPosition.top;
        position.left += parentPosition.left;
    }
    return position;
}

Thank ThinkingStiff for the answer, this is only another version.
