Get The Location And Size Of An Element

All modern browsers ship with the getBoundingClientRrect() function. It can be invoked for any DOM element. It returns the x and y coordinates of the element within the browser viewport as well as the height and width values and the top and bottom values along the y-axis and left and right values along the x-axis.

> $0.getBoundingClientRect()
{
  "x": 381.421875,
  "y": 70,
  "width": 1030.578125,
  "height": 48,
  "top": 70,
  "right": 1412,
  "bottom": 118,
  "left": 381.421875
}

For instance, this is the result of invoking it against a header element on the MDN page linked above.
