DOM:element.clientLeft
From MDC
This article covers features introduced in Firefox 3
Contents |
[edit] Summary
The width of the left border of an element in pixels. It includes the width of the vertical scrollbar if the text direction of the element is right–to–left and if there is an overflow causing a left vertical scrollbar to be rendered. clientLeft does not include the left margin or the left padding. clientLeft is read-only.
Gecko-based applications support clientLeft starting with Gecko 1.9 (Firefox 3, implemented in bug 111207). This property is not supported in Firefox 2 and earlier.
[edit] Syntax
var left = element.clientLeft;
[edit] Example
padding-top
Gentle, individualistic and very loyal, Birman cats fall between Siamese and Persian in character. If you admire cats that are non aggressive, that enjoy being with humans and tend to be on the quiet side, you may well find that Birman cats are just the felines for you.
All Birmans have colorpointed features, dark coloration of the face, ears, legs and tail.

padding-bottom
When layout.scrollbar.side property is set to 1 or to 3 and when the text-direction is set to RTL, then the vertical scrollbar is positioned on the left and this impacts the way clientLeft is computed.
[edit] Specification
Not part of any W3C specification.
[edit] Notes
clientLeft was first introduced in the MS IE DHTML object model.
The position of the vertical scrollbar in right–to–left text direction set on the element will depend on the layout.scrollbar.side preference
