JQuery's offset() function

Question

Hello,

I know JQuery does most when it comes to cross-browser issues. I just wanted to know if offset() method of JQuery serves the purpose of cross-browserability, I mean top, left, etc properties that can be derived from it?

Basiclly once I apply top, left, etc properties (which are derived from offset() function) to an element, I need to make sure that the element appears at the specified location across all browsers.

Thanks

Unless otherwise noted in the documentation, all jQuery methods will work in every supported browser.

You can also search the bug tracker.

Assuming what you're doing doesn't involve taking the element out of flow and the document re-flowing, it should behave the same in all browsers. If you cause a re-flow, you need to reposition in some edge cases.
