Get the current top position of an element

I need to get a position of an element on a page from the top of the element (div) to the current position of the top of the window. I DO NOT want the position relative to the top of the page (seems offset and position are doing this?)

Try:

 var top= $('#element').offset().top+ $(document).scrollTop();

use $(element).offset().top:

$(".element").offset().top;

and apply it to your page... Good luck

get the offset of the parent element, then get the offset of the child element, then substract one from the other - boom you got the information you were looking for.
