offset fails in Chrome Extensions

[ajpiano]

I'm working on getting a better (read: existent) testcase together for this, but it appears that jQuery.fn.offset fails when executed from within a Chrome Extension, when attempting to read the pageYOffset property of what jQuery believes to be the window, but is likely the Chrome Extension's isolated window which may not have all the properties we expect.

It's cool that you blew off writing a reduced test for this ;D

Chrome 12 definitely breaks the .offset() function. I've seen this reported elsewhere on the Web. An element must have relative position or else .offset().top will report zero (0).

Someone needs to write a test case and submit a patch. Chrome extensions aren't a formally supported or tested environment but if we can get a fix we can take a leap of faith that it works.
