Doesn't work with current jQuery (1.8.2) in Chrome

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Use jQuery 1.8.2 (latest version) instead of 1.3.2

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: It should just be counting down.
Instead: It sort of runs away, it exponentially increases margin-top of the 
right seconds digit, above 0. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
jQuery 1.8.2 in Chrome on Windows 7 64b

Please provide any additional information below.
I can confirm that it does work with 1.3.2, but it would be convenient to have 
it run on the latest version.

Same here, doesn't seem to work on Chrome anymore, but it used to.

Same here but I was using the dev build of Chrome not the production version. 

It still works with the current production version of Chrome and jQuery 1.7.1. 
It doesn't work with the production version of Chrome and the latest version of 
jQuery.

I fix it!
Use this function:

var margin = function(elem, val) {
    if (val !== undefined){
        digits[elem].margin = val;
        return digits[elem].css({'marginTop': val + 'px'});
    }
    return digits[elem].margin;
};
