Perhaps it just needs a bit of minor refactoring?
Still keep offset, but simplify it to use other plugins (that you
could use separately if you only wanted the left position of an
element for instance):
jQuery.fn.offset = function(refElem) {
var elem = this[0];
return {
left: this.realLeft() - jQuery(refElem).realLeft(),
top: this.realTop() - jQuery(refElem).realTop(),
....etc
}
}
