jQuery animate to offset/position
<p>I'm using jQuery animate to change the position of an element:</p>

<p><code>$('#item').animate({'top' : '-50'}, 0);</code></p>

<p>I don't need the animation, I just want to set the position.  I tried both <code>offset</code> and <code>position</code>, but neither seemed to work right.</p>

<p>How should update this to not use animate?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
