Dojo needs a more powerful equivalent to jQuery's offset() method

[Thomas Bachem]

Even when using dojo.position()'s includeScroll parameter, parent elements with "overflow: scroll" get simply ignored in the calculation.

This makes the use of dojo.position() for elements within scrollable containers pretty much useless.

jQuery and Mootools are able to include these containers in its offset calculation, see e.g. the getOffset() method in ​http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.js.

Huh? It does account for overflow:scroll elements. I'll attach my test case. If you can produce an example that doesn't work please attach it and repopen the ticket or add a comment.
