Description
Regarding .offset()
"Note: jQuery does not support [...] accounting for borders, margins, or padding set on the body element."
It's not clear what "accounting for" means.
Does it mean that the offset is computed relative to the whole body including the body's margins? Or does it mean the opposite, that it is relative to the inner box of the body?
