Get bottom and right position of an element

Question

I\'m trying to get the position of an element within the window like so:

var link = $(element);

var offset = link.offset();
var top = offset.top;
var left =         


        

Answer 1

You can use the .position() for this

var link = $(element);
var position = link.position(); //cache the position
var right = $(window).width() - position.left - link.width();
var bottom = $(window).height() - position.top - link.height();

Answer 2

Here is a jquery function that returns an object of any class or id on the page

var elementPosition = function(idClass) {
            var element = $(idClass);
            var offset = element.offset();

            return {
                'top': offset.top,
                'right': offset.left + element.outerWidth(),
                'bottom': offset.top + element.outerHeight(),
                'left': offset.left,
            };
        };


        console.log(elementPosition('#my-class-or-id'));

I think

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div>Testing</div>
<div id="result" style="margin:1em 4em; background:rgb(200,200,255); height:500px"></div>
<div style="background:rgb(200,255,200); height:3000px; width:5000px;"></div>

<script>
(function(){
    var link=$("#result");

    var top = link.offset().top; // position from $(document).offset().top
    var bottom = top + link.height(); // position from $(document).offset().top

    var left = link.offset().left; // position from $(document).offset().left
    var right = left + link.width(); // position from $(document).offset().left

    var bottomFromBottom = $(document).height() - bottom;
    // distance from document's bottom
    var rightFromRight = $(document).width() - right;
    // distance from document's right

    var str="";
    str+="top: "+top+"<br>";
    str+="bottom: "+bottom+"<br>";
    str+="left: "+left+"<br>";
    str+="right: "+right+"<br>";
    str+="bottomFromBottom: "+bottomFromBottom+"<br>";
    str+="rightFromRight: "+rightFromRight+"<br>";
    link.html(str);
})();
</script>

The result are

top: 44
bottom: 544
left: 72
right: 1277
bottomFromBottom: 3068
rightFromRight: 3731

in chrome browser of mine.

When the document is scrollable, $(window).height() returns height of browser viewport, not the width of document of which some parts are hiden in scroll. See http://api.jquery.com/height/ .

Answer 4

var link = $(element);
var offset = link.offset();

var top = offset.top;
var left = offset.left;

var bottom = top + link.outerHeight();
var right = left + link.outerWidth();

Answer 5

Instead of

var bottom = $(window).height() - link.height();
bottom = offset.top - bottom;

Why aren't you doing

var bottom = $(window).height() - top - link.height();

Edit: Your mistake is that you're doing

bottom = offset.top - bottom;

instead of

bottom = bottom - offset.top; // or bottom -= offset.top;

Vanilla Javascript Answer

var c = document.getElementById("myElement").getBoundingClientRect();
var bot = c.bottom;
var rgt = c.right;

To be clear the element can be anything so long as you have allocated an id to it <img> <div> <p> etc.

for example

<img
    id='myElement'
    src='/img/logout.png'
    className='logoutImg img-button'
    alt='Logout'
/>
