Many thanks to  Peter-Paul Koch & Alex Tingle for this great script and it's slight modification.

And here below is the script in all it's glory! Thanks again:

function findPosX(obj)
  {
    var curleft = 0;
    if(obj.offsetParent)
        while(1)
        {
          curleft += obj.offsetLeft;
          if(!obj.offsetParent)
            break;
          obj = obj.offsetParent;
        }
    else if(obj.x)
        curleft += obj.x;
    return curleft;
  }

  function findPosY(obj)
  {
    var curtop = 0;
    if(obj.offsetParent)
        while(1)
        {
          curtop += obj.offsetTop;
          if(!obj.offsetParent)
            break;
          obj = obj.offsetParent;
        }
    else if(obj.y)
        curtop += obj.y;
    return curtop;
  }
