DOMSnapshot: Offset parents of nodes with offsetRects in a LayoutTreeSnapshot

[Vocaloid Feuvre]

Heyo,

How do I get the offset parents of nodes with offsetRects in a DOMSnapshot.LayoutTreeSnapshot? I was thinking that there should be a way since offsetRects is there. I'm currently trying to come up with an algorithm that checks the DOMSnapshot return object for them, but if someone here already knows how, that would save me a lot of time.

Thanks,

Hi,

I don't think this is available at the moment. The offsetRects is a very experimental field that should probably not be there, at least in its current state -- there have been some concerns raised after it has been landed: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1612105). Is there a chance bounds will work for what you're looking to do?

Best regards,

Andrey.

That's sad, right now am using bounds and detecting "offsetParents" by checking computedStyles, but I was betting on offsetRects + a better way of getting offsetParents to give me a cleaner approach. I guess I'll stick to my current solution for now.

This is a side question, but d'you think DOMSnapshot.TextBoxSnapshot and DOMSnapshot.LayoutTreeSnapshot is here to stay? Can be in another form somewhat (seeing what happened to the previous iteration .getSnapshot), but the functionality stays the same?

Thanks again,

+lo...@microsoft.com, who originally added offsetRects. Long, would you be able to recommend something here? Perhaps you were solving a similar problem? Also, are you still using these fields?

Yes, these are expected to stay, we tend to view them rather essential to what DOMSnapshot does.

Best regards,

Andrey.
