The values I'm getting for $(el).css('left') and $(el).position().left are different?
If I go $(el).css('left', '100px'), then $(el).css('left') it returns 110px instead of 100px (yes, it is always 10% more) and if I evaluate $(el).position().left, it gives me 100.
Why does Chrome behave this way? You can see how this would affect jQuery animations using the left property.
I'm using Chrome 21.0.1180.57 on Ubuntu.
EDIT 1: Seems to be only affecting Chrome, FF 14.0.1 is giving me the same values.

The offset() method in jQuery returns the first found position of HTML element with respect to the document. The position() method in jQuery returns the current position of HTML element with respect to its offset parent. The jQuery UI offset() is relative to the document.
jQuery position() MethodThe position() method returns the position (relative to its parent element) of the first matched element. This method returns an object with 2 properties; the top and left positions in pixels.
The css() method in JQuery is used to change the style property of the selected element. The css() in JQuery can be used in different ways. Return value: It will return the value of the property for the selected element.
The left CSS property participates in specifying the horizontal position of a positioned element. It has no effect on non-positioned elements.
The left returns calculated value of the CSS left property.
position().left returns the x-coordinate relative to the element's first offset parent.
These values can be equal and they can be not equal .
position().left can also easily be different between browsers because of different rendering whereas .css("left") can only differ in the units given, if that.
