Description Gérard Talbot (no longer involved) 2008-08-30 18:41:21 UTC

offsetParent of nodeA when nodeA is a position: fixed element should be null.

If the computed value of the position property for nodeA is fixed, then nodeA.offsetParent returns null.

Testcase:

Actual result in Konqueror 4.1 Windows:
document.getElementById("PositionFixedElem").offsetParent = [object HTMLHtmlElement]

Comment 1 Germain Garand 2008-08-30 20:06:08 UTC

wow. I had no idea there was a draft spec for those. Good news.

Comment 2 Maksim Orlovich 2008-08-30 20:08:23 UTC

Germain: if you're looking at this, could you please look at bug #170055 as well?

Comment 3 Germain Garand 2008-08-30 20:43:03 UTC

yes I was precisely investigating your logging testcase when I saw this reference to a specification. Should make things much easier, assuming this draft is accurate.

Comment 4 Germain Garand 2008-09-25 01:55:11 UTC

SVN commit 864534 by ggarand:

fix offsetTop/Left/Parent properties to be more in conformance with draft
CSSOM View module specification.

http://www.w3.org/TR/cssom-view/#offset-attributes

brings better compatibility as  a bonus.

BUG: 170091, 170055
