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.
