<p>The <code>.position()</code> method allows us to retrieve the current position of an element <em>relative to the offset parent</em>. Contrast this with <code><a href="/offset">.offset()</a></code>, which retrieves the current position <em>relative to the document</em>. When positioning a new element near another one and within the same containing DOM element, <code>.position()</code> is the more useful.</p>
<p>Returns an object containing the properties <code>top</code> and <code>left</code>.</p>

<h3>Example:</h3>
<div id="entry-examples" class="entry-examples"><div id="example-0">
<h4><span class="desc">Access the position of the second paragraph:</span></h4>
<pre><code class="example demo-code">&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;style&gt;
div { padding: 15px;}
p { margin-left:10px; }
&lt;/style&gt;
&lt;script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hello&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;script&gt;var p = $("p:first");
var position = p.position();
$("p:last").text( "left: " + position.left + ", top: " + position.top );&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
