I can't remember the value exactly but I think it's like .document.pageScrollX and Y that you need to use (either add or subtract) if you're trying to get this position after someone has scrolled the page.

IE/Mozilla:
x = document.getElementById("layerName").offsetLeft;
y = document.getElementById("layerName").offsetTop;

NN4:
x = document.layers["layerName"].pageX;
y = document.layers["layerName"].pageY;

it's not working. I just tested it in IE6 with the following code:

...
<SCRIPT>
function getcoords(name){
x = document.getElementById(name).offsetLeft
y = document.getElementById(name).offsetTop

alert (x + " " + y);
}
</SCRIPT>
...
<BODY onload="getcoords('navbar');">
...
<DIV NAME="navbar" CLASS="bar">
...
</DIV>

any reason this shouldn't work for IE6? Cause it's not.
