title: Cross browser issue with offset() jquery function
body: <p>I am having a cross browser issue with the <code>offset()</code> function in jQuery. For example, I am looking for the offset of an anchor tag</p>
  
  <p>eg. <code>$('#anchorid').offset().top</code></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>In Firefox 3.6 = 205</li>
  <li>In IE8 = 204</li>
  <li>In IE7 = 553</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>As you can see the difference in each returned value. I am not too concerned with the difference between FF &amp; IE8 but I am with IE7 and the others.</p>
  
  <p>Is there another function I could use that would be the same or similar cross browsers or a possible fix for this?</p>
