Does anyone know how to store the coordinates of a draggable image in a .txt file, to allow the same image to be re-loaded in the same position on another page?

Hope someone can help,
Thanks

All you are trying to do is store some numbers in a file and what makes you think it cannot be done.

I know it can be done, and i know that i need to use GetElementById, e.clientX, and e.ClientY. But im new to this and just wanted some advice of how to go about it.

Thanks

But the clientx and clienty gives the current mouse position and not the image's position on a screen.
You can do as follows:

var x = document.images.imagename.offsetLeft;
var y = document.images.imagename.offsetTop;

This is quite usefull, how would one submit this into a form textarea when the form is submitted?

[venami]

Create a javascript which takes the above two values as arguments. Inside the function, use:

// here 'txtarea' inside brackets is the ID set for the textarea tag
txtarea = document.getElementbyId('txtarea');
txtarea.value = x + " " + y;

Then in the onlcick event of the submit button, call this function.
