I am trying to get 'backgroundPosition' of control, which works fine on chrome but as usual not on IE.
Workaround for this i am using background-position-x,background-position-y,backgroundPositionX,backgroundPositionY properties of jquery.The properties mentioned above works fine for one of my application on IE but doesn't give any result on other application.
Can't really get how's it possible that certain predefined properties are supported by particular app and not by other.

This is my URL for the page http://www.hipbench.com/
Check this $(document.getElementById('ctl00_ebtnSearch')).css('backgroundPosition')
On chrome it returns me "100% 0px" whereas on IE it returns "0% 0%"

I'd look into a different way of retrieving the property, personally.
If you look at the DOM in both Chrome and IE9, it's the same - it seems that the problem (surprise, surprise) is with jQuery. It's returning dodgy information...

IE:

HTML

<input style="width: 100%; padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 4px; font-weight: bold;" id="ctl00_ebtnSearch_input"></input>

Chrome:

HTML

<input class="rbDecorated" type="submit" name="ctl00$ebtnSearch" id="ctl00_ebtnSearch_input" value=" Search " style="font-weight:bold;width:100%;padding-left:0;padding-right:0;padding-left:4px;"></input>

In fact, this returns "" in both browsers:

HTML

document.getElementById('ctl00_ebtnSearch_input').style.background

Which is entirely reasonable, given that clearly from the DOM, there is no inline style (or one applied through javascript) that affects .style.background - or any of background's attributes.

What are you trying to get, and for what purpose? Perhaps there's another solution that's not been considered..

background-position-x and background-position-y not working on IE9
