Typeahead menu incorrect position

Created by: willem403

When using typeahead inside a container where style="position: relative" then typeahead's position is incorrect.

Inside typeahead's show function I used jquery's style property position instead of offset to calculate the coordinates relative to the input-field/$element. This seems to work in both scenario's (inside and outside the container where style="position: relative; ")

Are there any reasons why offset is used to calculate the coordinates of the typeahead menu?
