jquery position() not working correctly in safari and chrome

Question

I\'ve seen this question posed once or twice before, but never with an answer that applies to my problem (as far as I know). I have a tooltip that appears when a link is cli

Answer 1

Just had the same problem, and removing margin: 0 auto; wasn't an option (nor is it a solution :). This worked for my needs, since webkit reports the value we're looking for as the left margin (so long as the margin is > 0, otherwise it does report position().left!):

iPosLeft = oEl.position().left + parseInt(oEl.css('marginLeft'));
