Below is the fix for redefining the "jQuery.fn.offset" function.

jQuery.fn.offset = function() {
/ <summary>
/ Gets the current offset of the first matched element relative to the viewport.
/// </summary>
/// <returns type="Object">An object with two Integer properties, 'top' and 'left'.</returns>
var left = 0, top = 0, elem = this[0], results;
if (elem) with (jQuery.browser) {
var parent = elem.parentNode,
offsetChild = elem,
offsetParent = IESafeOffsetParent(elem),
doc = elem.ownerDocument,
safari2 = safari && parseInt(version) < 522 && !/adobeair/i.test(userAgent),
css = jQuery.curCSS,
fixed = css(elem, "position") == "fixed";
Use getBoundingClientRect if available
if (false && elem.getBoundingClientRect) {
var box = elem.getBoundingClientRect();
Add the document scroll offsets
add(box.left + Math.max(doc.documentElement.scrollLeft, doc.body.scrollLeft),
box.top + Math.max(doc.documentElement.scrollTop, doc.body.scrollTop));
IE adds the HTML element's border, by default it is medium which is 2px
IE 6 and 7 quirks mode the border width is overwritable by the following css html { border: 0; }
IE 7 standards mode, the border is always 2px
This border/offset is typically represented by the clientLeft and clientTop properties
However, in IE6 and 7 quirks mode the clientLeft and clientTop properties are not updated when overwriting it via CSS
Therefore this method will be off by 2px in IE while in quirksmode
add(-doc.documentElement.clientLeft, -doc.documentElement.clientTop);
Otherwise loop through the offsetParents and parentNodes
} else {
Initial element offsets
add(elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop);
Get parent offsets
while (offsetParent) {
Add offsetParent offsets
add(offsetParent.offsetLeft, offsetParent.offsetTop);
Mozilla and Safari > 2 does not include the border on offset parents
However Mozilla adds the border for table or table cells
if (mozilla && !/^t(able|d|h)$/i.test(offsetParent.tagName) || safari && !safari2)
border(offsetParent);
Add the document scroll offsets if position is fixed on any offsetParent
if (!fixed && css(offsetParent, "position") == "fixed")
fixed = true;
Set offsetChild to previous offsetParent unless it is the body element
offsetChild = /^body$/i.test(offsetParent.tagName) ? offsetChild : offsetParent;
Get next offsetParent
offsetParent = offsetParent.offsetParent;
}
Get parent scroll offsets
while (parent && parent.tagName && !/^body|html$/i.test(parent.tagName)) {
// Remove parent scroll UNLESS that parent is inline or a table to work around Opera inline/table scrollLeft/Top bug
if (!/^inline|table.*$/i.test(css(parent, "display")))
Subtract parent scroll offsets
add(-parent.scrollLeft, -parent.scrollTop);
Mozilla does not add the border for a parent that has overflow != visible
if (mozilla && css(parent, "overflow") != "visible")
border(parent);
Get next parent
parent = parent.parentNode;
}
Safari <= 2 doubles body offsets with a fixed position element/offsetParent or absolutely positioned offsetChild
Mozilla doubles body offsets with a non-absolutely positioned offsetChild
if ((safari2 && (fixed || css(offsetChild, "position") == "absolute")) ||
(mozilla && css(offsetChild, "position") != "absolute"))
add(-doc.body.offsetLeft, -doc.body.offsetTop);
Add the document scroll offsets if position is fixed
if (fixed)
add(Math.max(doc.documentElement.scrollLeft, doc.body.scrollLeft),
Math.max(doc.documentElement.scrollTop, doc.body.scrollTop));
}
Return an object with top and left properties
results = { top: top, left: left };
}
function border(elem) {
/ <summary>
/ This method is internal.
/ </summary>
/// <private />
add(jQuery.curCSS(elem, "borderLeftWidth", true), jQuery.curCSS(elem, "borderTopWidth", true));
}
function add(l, t) {
/ <summary>
/ This method is internal.
/// </summary>
/// <private />
left += parseInt(l, 10) || 0;
top += parseInt(t, 10) || 0;
}
return results;
};
function IESafeOffsetParent(elem) {
try {
return elem.offsetParent;
}
catch (e) {
return document.body;
