>How to Measure Element Dimensions

It could be useful if there were, linked from within each posted Tip, a
Web Index of Tips, linking to Web copies.

One Tip might be the answer to "I have an on-screen element, of known
size, with an on[dbl]click method; how do I obtain the co-ordinates of a
[double-]click with respect to a given position in the element itself?"

The aforementioned index page could have a feedback form, partly for
suggesting topics for tips and possible answers.  The latter, when
imperfect, would provide fodder for further Tips, of course.

In what appears to be the cinsoft home page, "By" should be "To".

Consider a page, <http://www.cinsoft.net/position.html>, which has been
found by a serendipitous Google search for "starting point for a move
animation" or otherwise.  It recommends
        o = getElementPositionStyles(el);
- and that does not work.  The necessary further information is not
clearly provided; indeed, the page seems to have no <a href="...">Home
Page</a>.
