jQuery - How to get position of element that has a class

I have an slider that ads an class (.current-item) to each tab that is on, and removes when it`s off. I want to use LavaLamp for the menu efect and I need to get the position of the each element that has class current-item.

I used:

var my = $("li.current-item");

var myposition = my.position();

function setCurr(el) {

        $back.css({'top': myposition.top });

        curr = el;

};

But it works only for one item (the first). Afer the slider removes the class and ads the class to the next li nothing happens.

Here it is live: http://asgg.ro/slider-html/ The src to the script is at the bottom of the source.

I`m new to jquery and I really need some help! Thank you very much

var offset = $('.class_name').offset();

var x_pos = offset.left;
var y_pos = offset.top;

this will give you the X and Y position of the element related to the viewport Hoper this helps

Try

function setCurr(el) {
    var my = $("li.current-item");
    var myposition = my.position();
    $back.css({'top': myposition.top });
    curr = el;
};
