Firefox and Chrome give different values for offsetTop

Question

I am trying to position an span element (let us call it \"the tooltip span\") relative to a input field. To do this, I am wrapping the tooltip span and the input field in anothe

Answer 1

If you get "0" in chrome, see if you are targeting an empty element like "a". It needs to wrap something in order to return the correct offset.

Answer 2

You Can try using

$(window).load 

instead of

$(document).ready

because Explorer and Chrome sets proper offsets only after images have been fully loaded.
