Is there a way to get the Top and left positionning of a selected input type text ?

One way to do this is to add up the offsetLeft and offsetTop properties starting at your element, and recursing up the offsetParent chain. Something like:

var start = <starting element>
for( var p = start; p != null; p = p.offsetParent ) {
    start.myLeft += p.offsetLeft;
    start.myTop  += p.offsetTop;
}
