Could you send me an example of the source code? I'm in the process of updating the offset method to work with the body tag and would like to create a unit test out of it.
And actually dealing with the body tag and getting its offset can be a pain. Especially if you use position instead of just margin. I would suggest using a div to center your content. -- Brandon Aaron On 4/8/07, PragueExpat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
The body of my page is centered. It is 800px in width. I have a div that I need to be absolutely positioned over the body, so I am trying to get the left position of the (centered) body tag using the dimensions.js offset method. In IE I get the correct left position, but in FF I get 0. When I ask for the left position of the first element in the body, IE says 0 while FF gives the correct number (even taking into account the centered body). $(window).width() does work in both browsers, so I could use that to figure out where the centered body is, but I was just wondering if others have had success finding the position of a centered body tag.
