Summary Fixed elements have 0 as an offsetLeft property

Frank DENIS

Reported 2009-02-23 15:19:10 PST

In recent webkit revisions, fixed elements always have 0 as an offsetLeft property regardless of their actual position. It doesn't match the behavior of IE 7, Safar 3.2.1 and Opera 10a. <!doctype html> <html> <body onload="alert(document.getElementById('hop').offsetLeft);"> <div id="hop" style="position:fixed; right: 0;">Test</div> </body> </html>

Created attachment 27905 [details] Modifies offsetTop/Left Previous patch had an issue with borders on the body and static- and relative-positioned elements.

I successfully tested the second patch, and it actually fixes the test case as well as the real-world issue it was based upon. Thank you, pennig@

Comment on attachment 27905 [details] Modifies offsetTop/Left I'd like a root element test as well, since in theory that was broken also. Can you add that please? Make a test with <html> that is positioned: <html style="position:absolute;border:10px solid black;width:100px;height:100px;left:200px;top:200px"></html> I'm betting we return 0 for left/top prior to your patch and that you just fixed it. Might want to double-check that the spec says the root element should return the offset from the canvas origin also.

The spec says that "If the offsetParent of element A is null", then get the offset from the canvas origin, and the offsetParent for the root element is null. Seems clear enough.
