right Property
Retrieves the right coordinate of the rectangle surrounding the object content.
Syntax
HTML N/A Scripting [ iCoord = ] oTextRectangle.right
Possible Values
iCoord Integer that specifies the right coordinate of the rectangle, in pixels. The property is read-only with no default value.
Remarks
To access the right coordinate of the second text rectangle of a TextRange object, use this syntax:
oRct = oTextRange.getClientRects(); oRct[1].right;Note that the collection index starts at 0, so the second item index is 1.
To access the right coordinate of the bounding rectangle of an element object, use this syntax:
oBndRct = oElement.getBoundingClientRect(); oBndRct.right;
Example
This example uses the getBoundingClientRect method to retrieve the coordinates of the bounds of the text rectangles within the element.
Sample Code
<SCRIPT> function getCoords(oObject) { oBndRct=oObject.getBoundingClientRect(); alert("Bounding rectangle = \nUpper left coordinates: " + oBndRct.left + " " + oBndRct.top + "\nLower right coordinates: " + oBndRct.right + " " + oBndRct.bottom); } </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY> <P ID=oPara onclick="getCoords(this)">
