title: How do you get the current viewport position of a DOM element using Google's Closure library?
body: <p>I am using Google's closure library for a project and want to find the position of a given element on the page. Basically I want to do what Quirksmode findPos() does: </p>

  <p>I've looked through Google's documentation for positioning:</p>

  <p>...but I can't find anything related to obtaining an element's current position. <strong>Does the library provide a solution or should I resort to native javascript to handle this?</strong></p>
