From mailing list 7-21-06 By Thomas Fuchs:
This works for me, but it's a bit ugly... :)
Event.localPointer = function(event){
var p = [Event.pointerX(event), Event.pointerY(event)];
var element = arguments[1] || Event.element(event);
var e = Position.page($(element));
return [
p[0]-(e[0]+(window.pageXOffset ||
document.documentElement.scrollLeft || document.body.scrollLeft || 0)),
p[1]-(e[1]+(window.pageYOffset ||
document.documentElement.scrollTop || document.body.scrollTop || 0))];
}
