adding this answer for those looking to find this without jQuery:

var distanceTop = document.getElementById( 'elementId' ).offsetTop;

or, for those who are nitpicky:

var divId = document.getElementById( 'elementId' );
var distanceTop = divId.offsetTop;

You can use .offset().top or .position().top:

console.log($('div[id]').offset().top); // it give you offset top of the document

console.log($('div[id]').position().top); // gives you the containers position 
                                          // from the top if container is 
                                          // relative positoned.

find in the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/zVzBQ/

 $('div[id]').each(function () {
    console.log($(this).offset().top);
 });

You can use offset if you are wanting them relative to the document:

http://api.jquery.com/offset/

$('#a').offset().top

You can use the jQuery function position to get the position of the element/elements http://api.jquery.com/position/
