title: jQuery get element offset from the top of the page
body: <p>I know there is offSet().top; and position().top;</p>
  
  <p>but they both don't work in my case. I have to calculate the distance form the top of the window, of an element in position absolute. the problem with those methods is that they return the offset, not from the top of the page, but from the parent element that contains the absolute DIV. So I need to skip the parent container and get the real offset from the top of the page.</p>
  
  <p>Some ideas ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
