I am guessing that you did not use a position type in your style. I've put it in your jQuery for easy test, but you better put that in a css...

$(document).ready(function(){
 var offset = $("#myPopup").offset();
  $('#popup').css('position','relative');//or absolute.
  $('#popup').css('left',offset.left);    
  $('#popup').css('top',offset.top);

}); 
<div id="myPopup"> popup</div>
