What's wrong with my code?

Question

var target = document.getElementById("target");
var yt = target.getAttribute("top");
alert(yt);

Returns null, but top is defined in the css of target as top: 50px;
Is it a sintax problem or it is not the apropiate way to get the value? please help me

Answer 1

var yt = target.style.top;

Answer 2

Attributes are something like href in <a href="#">. They are not equivalent to styles in CSS.

Answer 3

Thank you both for helping me 😁

Answer 4

At the end I don't know why using var yt =target.style.top didn't work for what I needed (I wanted to compare between two elements) but I found .offsetTop worked fine thank you both 😊
