JQuery window width not correct in Chrome

Question

I have created a plugin which i have cut down to the bare bones of a plugin (i.e. no functionality, just the structure) to debug this issue and it still exists. It deals with resizing divs and bases this on the document's width.

The problem is that the documents reported width is reduced by 17px from its actual width and thus doesnt size the divs correctly.

I have put in alerts to find out where the problem occurs: Before "ready" function: 1780px (correct width) Inside the "ready" function: 1763px Inside the Plugin: 1763px (all values returned from "document.width" and "$(document).width()" with same results)

This is only happening within Chrome and still remains even with the plugin reduced to effectively nothing.

Any thoughts on why this is happening would be gratefully received!

Cheers Stuart

I have found that jQuery(window).width() return a wrong value in Safari and Chrome.
