One issue I recently ran into w/the dimensions plug-in is that it doesn't have anything to calculate "position: relative;" offsets. If a parent element has a position of "relative", you need to adjust for any offsetLeft values for that parent, because that parent is where the "0" positioning is calculated from. -Dan
