the value got by calling position() in ie8

[yang163_yang@…]

I got a problem.

<div style="text-align:center;margin-top:104px; width:740px; height:300px;">

<div class="switch_pic" style="position:relative; width:740px; height:300px; overflow:hidden;">

<div class="arrow_left" style="position:absolute; left:20px;top:135px; z-index:10; cursor:pointer;"><img src="images/left.png" /></div> <div class="arrow_right" style="position:absolute; left:700px;top:135px; z-index:10; cursor:pointer;"><img src="images/right.png" /></div> <ul class="content" style="width:10000px; position:absolute; margin:0;">

<li class="elem" style="float:left; width:740px; height:740px; overflow:hidden;"><img src="images/otherbg.jpg" width="740px" height="300px" /></li> <li class="elem" style="float:left; width:740px; height:740px; overflow:hidden;"><img src="images/subbg.jpg" width="740px" height="300px" /></li>

</ul>

</div>

</div>

I run '$(".content").animate({"left":"-740px"},"normal");' first.Then, '$(".content").css("left")' returns a string "-740px",but "$(".content").position()left?" returns a int value -739.This occurs in ie8.The value returned in firefox is -740.
