<div class="longdesc">
<p>The <code>.position()</code> method allows us to retrieve the current position of an element <em>relative to the offset parent</em>. Contrast this with <code><a href="/offset">.offset()</a></code>, which retrieves the current position <em>relative to the document</em>. When positioning a new element near another one and within the same containing DOM element, <code>.position()</code> is the more useful.</p>
<p>Returns an object containing the properties <code>top</code> and <code>left</code>.</p>
