Even more oo (object oriented) and even shorter (and with the curly braces correctly placed for maintainability and readability, not to fit as much code as possible on a 24x80 terminal screen, which is why we used to put them to the far right):

function Size(x, y, w, h)
{
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
    this.w = w;
    this.h = h;
}
        
function getSize(n)
{
    var s = new Size(n.offsetLeft, n.offsetTop, n.offsetWidth, n.offsetHeight);
    while (n.offsetParent && n.offsetParent.offsetLeft !== undefined)
    {
        n = n.offsetParent;
        s.x += n.offsetLeft;
        s.y += n.offsetTop;
    }
    return s;
}

var s = getSize(p);
alert("x = " + s.x + ", y = " + s.y + ", w = " + s.w + ", h = " + s.h);
