> .leftFromParent()
> .leftFromDocument()
> .leftFromWindow()

These seem to be crying out "Please parameterize my From part!" :)

Maybe something like this:

 $("#mydiv").pxLeft(item)

That would tell you how many pixels to the left #mydiv is from the given
item, which should be an ancestor DOM element or perhaps some special string
values like "window"; no item could be interpreted as "document" or "parent"
or whatever seems most reasonable. If item is an element that is not an
ancestor it would return undefined--unless there's some reasonable way to
figure out the relationship?
