Description
Hello,
I've just discovered a bug with the offset method included in jQuery 1.2.1. The coords returned by the offset methods are false with Mozilla Firefox if both TABLE element with a CAPTION element are used, AND if the CSS property « position : relative » has been applied to the TABLE element.
I am not a jQuery user but I like to analyse code from experts when I am in front of a difficulty. So, after many search, I have added this line of code for jQuery works (line 2950) :
// Mozilla doesn't take care of CAPTION element in offsetHeight => added manually
if (offsetParent.tagName == 'TABLE' && offsetParent.getElementsByTagName('CAPTION').length == 1 && jQuery.css(offsetParent, 'position').toLowerCase() == 'relative') {
add(0, offsetParent.getElementsByTagName('CAPTION')[0].offsetHeight);
}
And the code used to reproduce the bug :
<!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "https://ov/netCFARegion/dtd/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<style type="text/css">table {position : relative;}</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.2.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
/**
* Fonction de débuggage à l'écran.
* Mettre str='clear' pour effacer la zone de debug.
*
* @param sting str
*/
function write(str) {
myDiv = document.createElement('DIV');
myDiv.innerHTML = str;
debugBlock = document.getElementById('debug');
if (!debugBlock ) {
debugBlock = document.createElement('DIV');
debugBlock.id = 'debug';
with (debugBlock.style) {
position = 'absolute';right = '5px';top = '5px';padding = '3px';
width = "350px";minHeight = "150px";border = "1px solid #525D73";
backgroundColor = "#DEEBF9";
}
document.getElementsByTagName('BODY')[0].appendChild(debugBlock);
}
nbDiv = debugBlock.getElementsByTagName('DIV').length;
if (nbDiv % 2 == 0) myDiv.style.backgroundColor = '#BDD3EF';
if (str == 'clear') debugBlock.innerHTML = '';
else debugBlock.appendChild(myDiv);
}
function getPos() {
coords = $('#test').offset();
var elt = document.createElement('DIV');
elt.style.width = '14px';
elt.style.height = '14px';
elt.style.border = '1px solid red';
elt.style.position = 'absolute';
elt.style.top = coords.top + 'px';
elt.style.left = coords.left + 'px';
document.getElementsByTagName('BODY')[0].appendChild(elt);
write('top=' + coords.top);
write('left=' + coords.left);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="getPos()">
<table class="classical">
<caption>Caption</caption>
<tr>
<td id="test" style="border:1px solid blue">content</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Ooops... I'm sorry, I forget to put the CSS "position:relative" in the example. The table is formated like this :
<table style="position:relative">
<caption>Caption</caption>
<tr>
<td id="test" style="border:1px solid blue">content</td>
</tr>
</table>

This is to much of an edge case right now to incur the overhead within the core offset method. The simple workaround is to just include the height of the caption with the offset when in this situation.
test case and correction included
