$.fn.offset() is shifted by 2px in Quirks Mode

[jeffkretz]

A recent change made to offset.js (rev 4016) no longer accurately accounts for the 2px html border added by IE in quirks mode.

See two sample pages:

Note the 1px bordered divs are all 2px offset from the images they should be laying in front of.

​http://cobalt.scorpiontechnology.com/Test/QuirksOffset2.htm

Is the same code but references a version of jQuery with the offset change rolled back to 4015. All divs are correctly positioned on each image.

Note that adding DOCTYPE strict or DOCTYPE transitional fixes this problem -- it only shows up in quirks mode.

Try adding the following CSS: html { border: 0; }

Well, I'll be durned. Not that I'm big on Quirks Mode or anything, but that solved it. JK

Marked fix utilizing the CSS workaround for IE Quirks mode.
