Description Ohmson 2005-12-18 14:32:49 PST
I get a DOMCSSStyleDeclaration when using -[DOMDocument getComputedStyle::]. From the 
declaration, I can get the DOMCSSValue when using -getPropertyCSSValue. In my case, I needed to find 
the CSS 'font-size' of an element.

The object returned in getPropertyCSSValue is actually a DOMCSSPrimitiveValue object. In my CSS file, I 
actually have 'font-size: 10pt;' but when I try to use -[DOMCSSPrimitiveValue primitiveType], it is always 
returning me DOM_CSS_PX

Maybe because the values are 'computed' and so everything is in one kind of metrics, 'px'...

But at least -[DOMCSSPrimitiveValue getFloatValue:DOM_CSS_PT] should have given me back the '10.0', 
instead of '13.3333'

It's getting the computed style, the final value is always in px effectively... I'm sorry, this is a wontfix.

What about the final part of the report? It indeed looks strange that the specified unit type is ignored:

double getFloatValue(unsigned short /* unitType */) const { return m_value.num; }

Patch

Here is a patch that fixes the bug. I talked through this design with Hyatt. Since we use getFloatValue() internally a lot, I created another version that still just returns m_value.num since that is what the internal callers expect and since passing in the type was clunky and unnecessary. It is also worth noting that the given test case does not contain the exact value we return. The test case expects that we render floating point pixels, but we round to integers. This causes the expected calculation to be off from the actual calculation. (It also means that our results, while accurate, do not match Firefox exactly.) I will upload a more accurate test in a minute.
