inline Vs block

[lun.ashis]

hi everyone !!

actually this may not be the appropriate questions for you guys but i
know you ppl can answer this question.

Can anyone describe me why the >> cumulativeOffset << is different for
the same element if we change its css display attribute to "INLINE"
and "BLOCK" ?

Before i was thinking that it will be same but in reality it
doesn't.... ???

Thanks in advance.....
