我成功地使用Andy E的解决方案，根据用户单击的表行中的链接来定位引导2模式。该页面是Tapestry 5页面，下面的javascript被导入到java页面类中。

javascript代码：

function setLinkPosition(clientId){
var bodyRect = document.body.getBoundingClientRect(),
elemRect = clientId.getBoundingClientRect(),
offset   = elemRect.top - bodyRect.top;
offset   = offset + 20;
$('#serviceLineModal').css("top", offset);

}

我的模式代码：

<div id="serviceLineModal" class="modal hide fade add-absolute-position" data-backdrop="static" 
 tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true" style="top:50%;">
<div class="modal-header">
    <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">x</button>
    <h3 id="myModalLabel">Modal header</h3>
</div>

<div class="modal-body">
    <t:zone t:id="modalZone" id="modalZone">
        <p>You selected service line number: ${serviceLineNumberSelected}</p>
    </t:zone>
</div>

<div class="modal-footer">
    <button class="btn" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">Close</button>
    <!-- <button class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button> -->
</div>

循环中的链接：

<t:loop source="servicesToDisplay" value="service" encoder="encoder">
<tr style="border-right: 1px solid black;">       
    <td style="white-space:nowrap;" class="add-padding-left-and-right no-border"> 
        <a t:type="eventLink" t:event="serviceLineNumberSelected" t:context="service.serviceLineNumber" 
            t:zone="pageZone" t:clientId="modalLink${service.serviceLineNumber}"
            onmouseover="setLinkPosition(this);">
            <i class="icon-chevron-down"></i> <!-- ${service.serviceLineNumber} -->
        </a>
    </td>

页面类中的java代码：

void onServiceLineNumberSelected(String number){
    checkForNullSession();
    serviceLineNumberSelected = number;
    addOpenServiceLineDialogCommand();
    ajaxResponseRenderer.addRender(modalZone);
}

protected void addOpenServiceLineDialogCommand() {
    ajaxResponseRenderer.addCallback(new JavaScriptCallback() {
        @Override
        public void run(JavaScriptSupport javascriptSupport) {
            javascriptSupport.addScript("$('#serviceLineModal').modal('show');");
        }
    });
}

希望这对某人有所帮助，这篇文章帮了大忙。

我是这样做的，所以它与旧浏览器兼容。

// For really old browser's or incompatible ones
    function getOffsetSum(elem) {
        var top = 0,
            left = 0,
            bottom = 0,
            right = 0

         var width = elem.offsetWidth;
         var height = elem.offsetHeight;

        while (elem) {
            top += elem.offsetTop;
            left += elem.offsetLeft;
            elem = elem.offsetParent;
        }

         right = left + width;
         bottom = top + height;

        return {
            top: top,
            left: left,
            bottom: bottom,
            right: right,
        }
    }

    function getOffsetRect(elem) {
        var box = elem.getBoundingClientRect();

        var body = document.body;
        var docElem = document.documentElement;

        var scrollTop = window.pageYOffset || docElem.scrollTop || body.scrollTop;
        var scrollLeft = window.pageXOffset || docElem.scrollLeft || body.scrollLeft;

        var clientTop = docElem.clientTop;
        var clientLeft = docElem.clientLeft;


        var top = box.top + scrollTop - clientTop;
        var left = box.left + scrollLeft - clientLeft;
        var bottom = top + (box.bottom - box.top);
        var right = left + (box.right - box.left);

        return {
            top: Math.round(top),
            left: Math.round(left),
            bottom: Math.round(bottom),
            right: Math.round(right),
        }
    }

    function getOffset(elem) {
        if (elem) {
            if (elem.getBoundingClientRect) {
                return getOffsetRect(elem);
            } else { // old browser
                return getOffsetSum(elem);
            }
        } else
            return null;
    }

这样怎么样，通过传递元素的ID，它将返回左侧或顶部，我们还可以组合它们：

1） 查找左侧

function findLeft(element) {
  var rec = document.getElementById(element).getBoundingClientRect();
  return rec.left + window.scrollX;
} //call it like findLeft('#header');

2） 查找顶部

function findTop(element) {
  var rec = document.getElementById(element).getBoundingClientRect();
  return rec.top + window.scrollY;
} //call it like findTop('#header');

或3）找到左侧和顶部

function findTopLeft(element) {
  var rec = document.getElementById(element).getBoundingClientRect();
  return {top: rec.top + window.scrollY, left: rec.left + window.scrollX};
} //call it like findTopLeft('#header');

如果您使用jQuery，这可能是一个简单的解决方案：

<script>
  var el = $("#element");
  var position = el.position();
  console.log( "left: " + position.left + ", top: " + position.top );
</script>

要有效地检索相对于页面的位置，而不使用递归函数：（还包括IE）

var element = document.getElementById('elementId'); //replace elementId with your element's Id.
var rect = element.getBoundingClientRect();
var elementLeft,elementTop; //x and y
var scrollTop = document.documentElement.scrollTop?
                document.documentElement.scrollTop:document.body.scrollTop;
var scrollLeft = document.documentElement.scrollLeft?                   
                 document.documentElement.scrollLeft:document.body.scrollLeft;
elementTop = rect.top+scrollTop;
elementLeft = rect.left+scrollLeft;

我想我也会把这个扔出去。我还不能在旧版浏览器中测试它，但它在前3名中的最新版本中运行。：）

Element.prototype.getOffsetTop = function() {
    return ( this.parentElement )? this.offsetTop + this.parentElement.getOffsetTop(): this.offsetTop;
};
Element.prototype.getOffsetLeft = function() {
    return ( this.parentElement )? this.offsetLeft + this.parentElement.getOffsetLeft(): this.offsetLeft;
};
Element.prototype.getOffset = function() {
    return {'left':this.getOffsetLeft(),'top':this.getOffsetTop()};
};
