title: jQuery: How to get the style attribute for "position" of an element?
body: <p>What is the proper mark-up in jQuery (or JavaScript) to get the style attribute "position" for an element in the DOM?</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <h3>HTML</h3>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div id="Parent"&gt;
      Parent Element
      &lt;ul class="child"&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;
              &lt;p&gt;inner child elements&lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <h3>CSS</h3>
  
  <pre><code>#Parent {
      position: relative;
  }
  .child {
      position: absolute;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <h3>JavaScript:</h3>
  
  <pre><code>$(function() {
      //  What to type here to get "style attribute position" of say #Parent?
  })
  </code></pre>
