Well, thanks, but it turns out that it does exactly the same as my own
function.
If I have a div above it with a SET TOP position, e.g. css: top:0; -
or whatever - it works.
But if I don't have nothing but a bunch of <br/> tags above the div,
or if I set the div above to psition:relative and remove the set top
position, it doesn't work anymore.
I really need some way to get the top offset for my div from the top
edge of the window, no matter what may or may not be above the div in
the DOM tree, and so far no luck.
But thanks for the effort, I appreciate it.
