jquery.position() isn't working correctly.
- by devzero
I'm working on a menu system where I want a ul to show as a dropdown when the users does a mouseOver on li in another ul. I thought I'd use position to set the position of the dropdown (so it actually looks like a menu). What I want is the dropdown's top left corner to start at the same place as the bottom left corner of the wrapping listitem.
Unfortunately the positioning fails in several different ways:
In Firefox it seems like the dropdown's are offset with approximately -100 25 pixels
the first item in the list has a different offset on the left side compared to the other items
The offset in IE is not the same as in FF
Doing the positioning repeatedly in explorer results in different positions each time.
I've created a test page where you can see the effects:
