Hello,

I have the same problems with things like this:

div.wrapper {
     left: 50%;
     position: absolute;
     clear: both;
}
div.main {
     position:absolute;
     width:700px;
     left: -350px;
}

and the page is like

<body>
<div class="wrapper">
     <div class="main">
         here is my page.
     </div>
</div>
</body>

Is it the same kind of problem you have?

I think that the methodes getPageOffsetLeft and getPageOffsetTop (file 
action.js) return the wrong value. So you will need correct them by 
substracting the PageOffset (top or left) of the element.offsetParent.

For me it works with Firefox but not with IE :-(

If you find another solution, please contribute it.

Cheers,

Philippe.
