Remarks

The IHTMLRuleStyle::top attribute should be used only when the IHTMLRuleStyle::position attribute is set; otherwise, the value of the IHTMLRuleStyle::top attribute is ignored.

Because the value of the IHTMLRuleStyle::top property is a string, you cannot use the property to calculate the position of the object in the document.

For more information about how to access the dimension and location of objects on the document through the Dynamic HTML (DHTML) Document Object Model (DOM), see Measuring Element Dimension and Location with CSSOM in Internet Explorer 9.

Examples

The following example uses the IHTMLRuleStyle::top property to change the position of the green div. In the example below, there are four div elements with absolute positioning. The green div is positioned 50 pixels from the top.

Code example: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/css/positioning/positioning.html

#green {            
   height: 175px;
   width: 175px;
   background-color: #7FBA00;
   position: absolute;
   top: 50px;
}

This example uses inline script to change the position of the image set by an inline style. The change occurs during HTMLFrameSiteEvents::onmouseover and HTMLFrameSiteEvents::onmouseout events.

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

<img src="cone.jpg" style="position:absolute; top:80px;" 
  onmouseover="this.style.top='100px''"    
  onmouseout="this.style.top='80px'">
