Prototype1.5 rc2 버전 가이드의 마지막 기사: Position

Position是prototype中定义的一个对象，提供了操作DOM中与位置相关的方法，要很好的理解元素在页面中的位置，可以参考这篇文章：Relatively Absolute

具体代码如下，按照代码说说，其中英文是作者的注释，中文红色的才是偶的说明或翻译英文的注释，采用顶式注释法(注释在要说明的代码的上面)说明

// set to true if needed, warning: firefox performance problems
// NOT neeeded for page scrolling, only if draggable contained in
// scrollable elements
//只有在使用拖动的时候元素包含在有滚动条的元素中才需要设置为true
includeScrollOffsets: false,

// must be called before calling withinIncludingScrolloffset, every time the
// page is scrolled
//当页面被scrolled后，使用withinIncludingScrolloffset的时候需要先调用这个方法
prepare: function() {
    //横向滚动条滚动的距离
    this.deltaX = window.pageXOffset
                || document.documentElement.scrollLeft
                || document.body.scrollLeft
                || 0;
    //纵向滚动条滚动的距离
    this.deltaY = window.pageYOffset
                || document.documentElement.scrollTop
                || document.body.scrollTop
                || 0;
},

//元素由于滚动条偏移的总距离
realOffset: function(element) {
    var valueT = 0, valueL = 0;
    do {
      valueT += element.scrollTop || 0;
      valueL += element.scrollLeft || 0;
      element = element.parentNode;
    } while (element);
    return [valueL, valueT];
},

//元素在页面中由offsetParent累积的offset，当offsetParent都没有滚动条时，就是元素在页面中的位置
cumulativeOffset: function(element) {
    var valueT = 0, valueL = 0;
    do {
      valueT += element.offsetTop || 0;
      valueL += element.offsetLeft || 0;
      element = element.offsetParent;
    } while (element);
    return [valueL, valueT];
},

//元素相对于containing block("nearest positioned ancestor")的位置，也就是相对于最近的一个position设置为relative或者absolute的祖先节点的位置，如果没有就是相对于body的位置，跟style.top，style.left一样？
positionedOffset: function(element) {
    var valueT = 0, valueL = 0;
    do {
      valueT += element.offsetTop || 0;
      valueL += element.offsetLeft || 0;

//判断指定的位置是否在元素内

x >= this.offset[0] &&
            x < this.offset[0] + element.offsetWidth);

//跟within差不多，不过考虑到滚动条，也许是在元素上面，但不是直接在上面，因为滚动条也许已经使元素不可见了

//在调用这个方法前，必须先调用within，返回在with指定的位置在水平或者垂直方向上占用的百分比
