Description

http://home.palle.net/~omega/DateSelector/examples/dateselector.html for an example.

The problem seems to be if I position an element relative, and then try to getElementPosition on an element inside that element.

This patch would break a Opera and Safari workaround.

I tested on safari and firefox for mac, and both worked better with the patch. Firefox worked flawlessly, but safari missalligned by a few pixels, still way better than before.

I was wrong, this doesn't break the Opera and Safari workarounds.

I think getElementPosition's behavior is correct. It should return the element's position relative to the "client's upper-left corner" (http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/getboundingclientrect.asp). To get an element's position relative to its container, just use the .left/.top properties. We'll be adding a wrapper for those soon, see #84.
