JQuery measuring position of a hidden element

Is there a way to get $element.position() working for a hidden (i.e. display:hidden) element?

Just try

mypos = $('#myelement').css({
  visibility: 'hidden',
  display: 'block'
}).position();

You could try :

var pos = $element.show().position();
$element.hide();

Only in exceptional circumstances (some untimely interrupt by some process outside the current window/tab), will the element be momentarily rendered.

'display:none;' removes the element from the document so it does not have a position. You could try a quick 'display: block; visibility: hidden;', get the position, and hide it again.

Edit: This is explained on this question's page already: jquery: get the offset of hidden element
