Remarks

You should use the IHTMLCSSStyleDeclaration::left attribute only when the IHTMLCSSStyleDeclaration::position attribute is set; otherwise, the value of the IHTMLCSSStyleDeclaration::left attribute is ignored.

Because the value of the IHTMLCSSStyleDeclaration::left property is a string, you cannot use the property in script to calculate the position of the object in the document; instead, you should use the IHTMLStyle::pixelLeft property or the IHTMLStyle::posLeft property.

Because the value of the IHTMLCSSStyleDeclaration::left 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 page 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 IHTMLCSSStyleDeclaration::left property to change the position of the blue div. In the example below, there are four div with absolute positioning. The blue div is positioned 250 pixels from the left.

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

#blue{
   height: 150px;
   width: 150px;
   background-color: #00A4EF;
   position: absolute;
   left: 250px;
}

This example uses inline scripting to change the position of two images when an HTMLFrameSiteEvents::onclick event occurs.

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

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>left</title>
</head>

<body>
  <p>
    These images are aligned with the left side of this window using
    absolute positioning and left positioning.
  </p>
  <img id="cone" src="http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/Workshop/graphics/cone.jpg" style="position: absolute" height="80" width="80" border="0" alt="cone">
  <img id="sphere" src="http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/Workshop/graphics/sphere.jpg" style="position: absolute; left: 50px" height="80" width="80" border="0" alt="sphere">
  <div style="position: absolute; top: 250px; left: 7px;">
    <button onclick="cone.style.left='100px'; sphere.style.left='200px'">Move Over</button>
    <button onclick="cone.style.left=''; sphere.style.left='50px'">Move Back</button>
  </div>
</body>
</html>
