Question

So I have a div like:

<div class="uiGrid">

<div class="trigger"></div>

</div>

And I want to know the position of trigger to uiGrid and have tried both these:

$('.trigger').offset('.uiGrid');

$('.trigger').position('.uiGrid');

but neither get it. Offset is relative to the document and position is relative to the parent and not the specified element.

How would I do this?
Thanks

Answer 1

just do the subtraction your self…

var relativeY = $("elementA").offset().top - $("elementB").offset().top;
