HTMLImageElement: y property
The read-only HTMLImageElement
property
y
indicates the y-coordinate of the
<img>
element's top border edge relative to the root element's
origin.
The x
and y
properties are only valid
for an image if its display
property has the computed value
table-column
or table-column-group
. In other words: it has
either of those values set explicitly on it, or it has inherited it from a containing
element, or by being located within a column described by either
<col>
or <colgroup>
.
Value
An integer value indicating the distance in pixels from the top edge of the element's
nearest root element to the top edge of the <img>
element's border
box. The nearest root element is the outermost <html>
element that
contains the image. If the image is in an <iframe>
, its
y
is relative to that frame.
In the diagram below, the top border edge is the top edge of the blue padding area. So
the value returned by y
would be the distance from that point to the top
edge of the content area.
Note:
The y
property is only valid if the computed
value of the image's display
property is either
table-column
or table-column-group
; in other words,
either of those are set directly on the <img>
or they're
inherited from a containing element or by being located within a column described
by either <col>
or <colgroup>
.
Example
See HTMLImageElement.x
for example code that demonstrates the use of the HTMLImageElement.y
(and HTMLImageElement.x
).
