Under the Browser Compatibility section for offsetWidth, it says

In compliance with the specification, this property will return null on Webkit if the element is hidden (the style.display of this element or any ancestor is "none") or if the style.position of the element itself is set to "fixed".

I don't think the "or if the style.position of the element itself is set to 'fixed'" part is correct. I'm able to get offsetHeight (and offsetWidth) for element's with 'postion: fixed'. Maybe I'm misunderstanding that comment.
