You can use the below code to find the position:

function findPos(obj) {
    var curleft = curtop = 0;
    if (obj.offsetParent) {
        curleft = obj.offsetLeft
        curtop = obj.offsetTop
        while (obj = obj.offsetParent) {
            curleft += obj.offsetLeft
            curtop += obj.offsetTop
        }
    }
    return curtop;
}

You can call it like findPos(document.getElementById('myID'));

Use offsetLeft and offsetTop to know the X and Y co-ord of an element.

var X=element.offsetLeft;
var Y=element.offsetTop
