X and Y Co-ordinates

There might be something here that can help - http://javascript.internet.com/page-details/mouse-coordinates.html

For layouts using CSS

.style.top
.style.left
.style.bottom
.style.right

For IE browsers there is stuff like this IIRC
.offsetTop
.offsetLeft
.offsetBottom
.offsetRight
