How do i get the absolute position of the div?

I want to store the absolute position of my div's. I've made a foreach that targets them all but what function do I use? .posi开发者_开发问答tion() returns relative to parent, but is .offset the right one if I want the absolute position?

With javascript i think you can do like this:

var x = document.getElementById("id").offsetLeft;
var y = document.getElementById("id").offsetTop

And with jQuery you can use offset
