As far as I know, those properties work in all browsers that jQuery supports. If you wanna work on it, then you're more than welcome to. I was going to have functions like the following: .leftFromParent() .leftFromDocument() .leftFromWindow() .topFromParent() .topFromDocument() .topFromWindow() Or maybe that can be shortened to .topParent() .leftDocument() ? This way .top() and .left() will still return the un-touched CSS property (if it's needed). Let me know how this sounds to you. --John _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
