Yes, you can. Heres some sample code which I use to get and set positions of objects in an HTML document.

Heres an example of how to use it.

<div id="image1.gif" onmouseover="findDom('image1').style.left=findleft('image1')-10"><img src="image1.gif"></div>

Whar happens is when you move the mouse over the image it moves it 10 pixels to the left. You can replace left with top.

function findleft(objectID){
  if (findDom(objectID).left){return findDom(grandfather).left;}
  if (findDom(objectID).pixelLeft){return findDom(grandfather).pixelLeft;}
  if (findDom(objectID).offsetLeft){return findDom(grandfather).offsetLeft;}
  return 'null';
}

function findtop(objectID){
  if (findDom(objectID).top){return findDom(grandfather).top;}
  if (findDom(objectID).pixelTop){return findDom(objectID).pixelTop;}
  if (findDom(objectID).offsetTop){return findDom(objectID).offsetTop;}
  return 'null';
}

function findDom(objectID){
  if (document.all){
   return document.all(objectID);
  } else if (document.getElementById){
   return document.getElementById(objectID);
  } else if (document.layers){
   return (document.layers[objectID]);
  }
}
