Hi Is there any way to force .left() to return pixel values for Opera 9?
The element in question is absolute right positioned, while Opera 8.5 and Firefox return a pixel value, Opera 9 returns 'auto'. This is surely a correct value in this context but mostly if you want the left value, you want a pixel value to reuse it somewhere. Is there any way to change this behavior via a Plugin or in jQuery Core directly? Which results in my next Question, will jQuery allow to get native pixel values in the future? Something like widthpx(), leftpx() would be useful when doing size/position calculations for elements. Currently I write a jQuery Splitter Widget component, therefor a lot calculations are necessary and so I made some additions for jQuery like calculation and setting the complete width of an element including borders, paddings and margins. However these functions assume pixel return values for the css properties... Oskar _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
