Sets or retrieves the right position of the object in the units specified by the right attribute.

Syntax

HTML	N/A
Scripting	object.style.posRight [ = iRight ]

Possible Values

iRight

Floating-point that specifies or receives any valid floating-point number that uses the same length units as the right attribute.

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. For more information, see About Dynamic Properties.

Remarks

This property reflects the value of the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)?B>right attribute for positioned items. This property always returns zero for nonpositioned items because "right" has meaning only when the object is positioned. If the right attribute is not set, the posRight property returns zero.

Setting this property changes the value of the right position but leaves the units designator for the property unchanged.

Unlike the right property, the posRight property value is a floating-point number, not a string.

For more information about how to access the dimension and location of elements on the page through the Dynamic HTML (DHTML) Document Object Model (DOM), see Measuring Element Dimension and Location.

Example

This example uses the posRight property to set a positioned div 10 pixels from the right of the client area.

oDiv.style.posRight = 10;
