clientLeft property
The property clientLeft contains
the width of the left border
(border-left
value). More precisely, clientLeft
contains the value of the indent of the
inner part of an element from the outer. In
most cases, clientLeft is equal to
border-left, but if the document
is arranged from right to left (for example,
Arabic), then clientLeft may include
the scrollbar width on the left.
Syntax
