Page element position failing on chrome

[safra]

Hi,

I use this to get the position of a page element:

    var _x = 0; 
    var _y = 0; 
    while( el && !isNaN( el.offsetLeft ) && !isNaN( el.offsetTop ) ) { 
        _x += el.offsetLeft - el.scrollLeft; 
        _y += el.offsetTop - el.scrollTop; 
        el = el.offsetParent; 
    }

This works on all browsers except Chrome. Chrome seems to return a value also based on scroll position. Is this right? This because searching around, something like the above code is generally considered to be crossbrowser compatible. But I cannot find much information about this regarding Chrome.

Thanks!

Just remove:

- el.scrollLeft;
- el.scrollTop;

So indeed chrome is handling this different then the other browsers and there is no code that works on all browsers except from jquery .offset?

i would recommend jquery as you will not have to worry much about different browsers.
