I am working on a script to find the position of a css background, 

the css code is something like :-

<li id="mainSignal" style="background-% -68px;"></li>

I am looking to find the values 50% or -68px and when they change.

I have tried :-

$result = Invoke-WebRequest -uri $url 
$result.ParsedHtml.getElementById to find this value. 

any tips would be greatly appreciated.

"position"?

Get the element.  Look at the style attribute.

$el=$result.ParsedHTML,GetElementById('mainSignal')

Post a link to a page with an example if you want more.

Many thanks for the reply,

Unfortunately I don't have a url to send, its an internal page.

The background is larger than the box its displayed in, so I am using its position to decide what part of the image is displayed.

This I can then translate to a percentage or something.

in

$el.style I have no information so I must be asking the wrong way.

Set the image style to either fit to the container or set the container to "clip" the image.  It is dynamic and automatic.  If you asked your question in a web forum for CSS/HTML you would get the answers you need.  PowerShell cannot help you with this.

This is what i am trying to write in Powershell, something like this...

I know the CSS element I am after, I am having trouble with the posh retrieving the values.

In PowerShell you are dealing with a different document model than in jquery.

style.backgroundposition
