offsetLeft and offsetTop wrong when position of parent node is not static

Summary offsetLeft and offsetTop wrong when position of parent node is not static
boris
Reported 2009-03-02 16:06:07 PST
offsetLeft and offsetTop do not include the border width of the parent node if the style property 'position' of the parent is not 'static'. In the test case the style property 'position' is changed from 'static' to 'relative'. This change makes Safari (and Firefox and Chrome) return different offsetLeft and offsetTop values. If you add the border width of 15px to those values you get the correct results again. If you open the test case in Internet Explorer and Opera you'll see that they return the same values no matter what 'position' is set to.

Looks like IE8 behaves differently in quirks and standards mode.

I am unable to reproduce this bug using attached "Modified..." and all browsers (Chrome Canary 106, Firefox Nightly 105 and Safari 15.6 on macOS 12.5) shows following: CSS property 'position' of <p> element: static offsetLeft of <span> element: 35 offsetTop of <span> element: 25 Changing CSS property 'position' ... CSS property 'position' of <p> element: relative offsetLeft of <span> element: 20 (should be 35) offsetTop of <span> element: 10 (should be 25) ____ Since all browsers are showing same, do we need to do something more? Thanks!
