Nice idea. Quite a few plugins would find that useful.
Another useful funtion would be a method to return the x,y (left,top)
coordinates of any element (relative to the page or some specified element).
The classic iteration through offsetParent elements would be a good start
but runs into problem with relatively positioned elements etc, and IE's own
very special box model. Perhaps someone has a solution for this. I've been
working on one gradually but I'm not there yet! (Very much
http://www.softwareunity.com/sandbox/JQueryElemXY/ work in progress !)
I dare say there are plenty more 'useful' functions. You guys are doing a
great job of regulating what should be in the core and what should not.
Maybe someone will do a 'handyExtras' plugin some day ;)
Cheers,
George
