I have a question about get element's offsetLeft in Javascript.

My code like here:

var offsetLeft = el.offsetLeft;
while( el=el.offsetParent ){
offsetLeft += el.offsetLeft;
}

Those codes work correctly in IE, but it is not correct in FireFox. I searched about this question in Google, I think this is maybe a bug in firefox, isn't it? Can you help me how to get a element's offsetLeft in FireFox? I will appreciate your help in advance.

Thank you very much!

What do you mean by "doesn't work correctly"? Can you attach a minimized testcase showing exactly what the problem is?
