event.pageX/Y fails with page scrolls in IE quirks mode

[arrix]

IE is notorious for its inconsistent rendering mode. In standard-compliant mode, document.documentElement.scrollLeft/Top tell the actual page scroll offsets. But in quirks mode, document.body.scrollLeft/Top tell the truth and document.documentElement.scrollLeft/Top is always 0. Tested with IE7 Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2.

A possible fix
