right property

Sets or retrieves the right coordinate of the rectangle surrounding the object content.

Syntax

JavaScript	`p = object.right`

Property values

Type: Integer

the right coordinate of the rectangle, in pixels.

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;

Examples

This example uses the getBoundingClientRect method to retrieve the coordinates of the bounds of the text rectangles within the element.

Code example: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/rectangles.htm


<SCRIPT>
function getCoords(oObject) {
    oBndRct=oObject.getBoundingClientRect();
    alert("Bounding rectangle = \nUpper left coordinates: "
        + oBndRct.left + " " + oBndRct.top +
        "\nLower right coordinates: "
        + oBndRct.right + " " + oBndRct.bottom);
}
