title: jquery .css applying in chrome or FireFox
body: <p>I am using Jquery to apply some top and left positioning.</p>
  
  <p>When doing so, in IE it works perfectly.  Unfortunately, it doesn't work in Firefox or Chrome.</p>
  
  <p>In IE, when inspecting the code it shows inline styles on the div for the left and top.  When looking at chrome and firefox, there are no inline styles for the divs's.</p>
  
  <p>Here is some code:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>var offsets = $("#cssOffsets").val();           
  var offsetsArray;  
  offsetsArray = offsets.split(":");  
  $('#lid').css({'top':offsetsArray[1],'left':offsetsArray[0]});
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>cssOffsets is a string like 137:10</p>
  
  <p>The <code>#lid</code> div exists.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas on why it would actually work in IE and not the others?</p>
  
  <p>I am using the latest version of Chrome and FireFox, and of JQuery.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
