# YUI Library Examples: Node: Node Positioning

Note: This is YUI 3.x. Looking for YUI 2.x?

## Node: Node Positioning

This example shows how to position an element based on the document XY coordinate system.

View example in new window.

### Setting up the HTML

First we need some HTML to work with.

<span id="demo"></span>

### Getting the Dimensions

In this example, we will listen for clicks on the document and update the position of our demo node to match the click position.

var onClick = function(e) { Y.get('#demo').setXY([e.pageX, e.pageY]); };

The last step is to assign the click handler to the `document` to capture all `click` events.

Y.get('document').on('click', onClick);

### Full Script Source

YUI().use('node', function(Y) { var onClick = function(e) { Y.get('#demo').setXY([e.pageX, e.pageY]); }; Y.get('document').on('click', onClick); });
