Question

$("#listPanels a").live("click",function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        can_changePn = false;
        var tt = $(this).attr("href");
        var pos = $(tt).offset().top;
        var ctop = $('#contentPanel').scrollTop();
        alert(tt+" : "+pos+" : "+ctop);
        $('#contentPanel').animate({
            scrollTop: (ctop+pos-50)},
        500,function(){
            can_changePn = true;
        });
        return false;
    });

I use the above code to scroll to a div and it does work well in all browsers, however in IE7, it seems the code cannot get past $(tt).offset().top;, I have no clue as to what the problem might be, I did also try to use position instead of offset though, and the result is the same, if I try to alert that line, the alert doesn’t even open. Any ideas?

You are requesting the offset of an attribute now. I think you want to change this:

var tt = $(this).attr("href");         
var pos = $(tt).offset().top; 

to this:

var tt = $(this).attr("href");         
var pos = $(this).offset().top;
