I'm developing a little app that involves positioning a translucent div near the cursor, and the numbers aren't adding up. I'm using the Dimensions plugin and subtracting an element's offset from the event's pageX/Y coordinates, and the X coordinate is consistently about 53 pixels off. Not coincidentally, the element is centered within a larger element, and the distance between their (left) edges is 53 pixels. That parent element is floated right, if it makes a difference.
(I'll try to create a stripped-down version for poking-at, but I don't have time at the moment.) Is there something I should know about calculating element offsets with floats and centering? Has anybody else had problems with the Dimensions plugin, or event coordinates? - Tim McCormack _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
