Hmm... adding a DOCTYPE tag at the top of the html seems to resolve this. Can anyone shed light on this?
However, now I have a different problem: when content grows to the left, offset().left seems to grow by the overflow size. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/ TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js" ></script> <script> $(function() { for(var i=0; i< 300; i++) { $("#overflow_text").append('x'); } offset = $("#coverme").offset(); $("#moveme").css(offset); }); </script> </head> <body dir="rtl"> <div style="background-color: blue; height: 200px; width: 200px" id="coverme"></div> <div style="background-color: green; height: 100px; width: 100px; position: absolute;" id="moveme"></div> <p id="overflow_text"></p> </body> On Jun 30, 8:38 am, iTsadok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There seems to be a skew when using offset() in a right-to-left > layout, but only in Internet Explorer. > These boxes align perfectly in Firefox and Safari, but IE7 puts the > green box lower and to the right.
