top

Description

Specifies the position of the element relative to the top of the document.

Syntax

{ top: length | percentage | auto}

Remarks

Used with the position attribute.

This value corresponds to the offsetTop property of the element, and does not include the border of the parent element (noteworthy for the BODY that draws the border inside the client region). auto is the default position of the element according to the regular HTML layout of the page. Percentage values are based on the parent's position.

This attribute, like all other CSS attributes, specifies a string value. When scripting the top property, use either the pixelTop or posTop property for numeric manipulation of a top value.

This attribute is not inherited.
