positioning

I would like to get the absolute position of an element in relation to the window/root element when it is double clicked. The element's relative position within it's parent is all I can seem to get to, and what I'm trying to get to is the point relative to the window. I've seen solutions of how to get a the point of an element on the screen, but not in the window.
