posBottom Property

Sets or retrieves the bottom position of the object in the units specified by the cascading style sheets (CSS) bottom attribute.

Syntax

HTML N/A

Scripting object.style.posBottom [ = iBottom ]

HTML	N/A
Scripting	object.style.posBottom [ = iBottom ]

Possible Values

iBottom Integer that specifies any floating-point number that uses the same length units as the bottom attribute.

The property is read/write with no default value.

Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see dynamic properties.

Remarks

This property reflects the value of the CSS bottom attribute for positioned items. This property always returns 0 for nonpositioned items, because "bottom" has meaning only when the object is positioned.

Setting this property changes the value of the bottom position, but leaves the length units designator for the property unchanged.

Unlike the bottom property, the posBottom 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 document object model, see measuring element dimension and location.

Example

This example uses the posBottom property to set a positioned DIV to the bottom of the client area.
oDiv.style.posBottom = 0;
