Remarks

This property reflects the value of the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) IHTMLStyle::width attribute for positioned items. This property always returns zero for nonpositioned items because "width" has meaning only when the object is positioned. If the IHTMLStyle::width attribute is not set, the IHTMLStyle::posWidth property returns zero.

Setting the IHTMLStyle::posWidth property changes the value of the width but leaves the units designator for the property unchanged.

Unlike the IHTMLStyle::width property, the IHTMLStyle::posWidth property value is a floating-point number, not a string.
