Hi Peter!
Thanks, but you missed an essential part of my question. I've allready
browsed through quirksmode for the answer, of course. :)

Element, not document.

Not for the coordinates on the ELEMENT I'm hovering. But I worked it
out, by iterating up through the parents of the target element and
calculating the elements exakt x/y position, regardless of parental
positioning, then subtracting that x/y position from the mouse position.
It's ugly, but it works.
