Background {#background}
========================
Many of the features defined in this specification have been supported
by browsers for a long period of time. The goal of this specification is
to define these features in such a way that they can be implemented by all
browsers in an interoperable manner. The specification also defines a
couple of new features that will hopefully be useful to authors. (If they
are not you can bug us!)
Terminology {#terminology}
==========================
Terminology used in this specification is from
DOM,
CSSOM and
HTML.
[[!DOM]]
[[!CSSOM]]
[[!HTML]]
<dfn>The HTML <code>body</code> element</dfn> is the first
<code>body</code>
<a>HTML element</a> child of the root
<a>HTML element</a> <code>html</code>.
<dfn>Content edge</dfn>, <dfn>padding edge</dfn>, <dfn>border edge</dfn>, <dfn>margin edge</dfn>, and <dfn>viewport</dfn> are defined by CSS.
<!-- These *should* just link to CSS2.1, but it doesn't have actual anchors to link to, because it's THE WORST. -->
Elements and <a>viewports</a> have an associated <dfn>scrolling box</dfn> if has a scrolling mechanism<!--XXX xref--> or it overflows
its content area<!--XXX xref--> and the used value of the 'overflow-x' or 'overflow-y' property is ''overflow/hidden''. [[!CSS3-BOX]]
An element is <dfn>potentially scrollable</dfn> if all of the following conditions are true:
* The element has an associated <a>CSS layout box</a>.
* The element is not <a>the HTML <code>body</code> element</a>, or it is and
the root element's used value of the 'overflow-x' or 'overflow-y' properties is not ''overflow/visible''.
* The element's used value of the 'overflow-x' or 'overflow-y' properties is not ''overflow/visible''.
Note: An element that is <a>potentially scrollable</a> might not have a <a>scrolling box</a>.
For instance, it could have 'overflow' set to ''overflow/auto'' but not have its content overflowing its content area.
A <a>scrolling box</a> of a <a>viewport</a> or element has two <dfn>overflow directions</dfn>, depending on the <a>viewport’s</a> or
element's <a>block flow direction</a> and <a>inline base direction</a>, as follows:
<dl class=switch>
<dt>If the <a>block flow direction</a> is top-to-bottom and the <a>inline base direction</a> is left-to-right
<dt>If the <a>block flow direction</a> is left-to-right and the <a>
8096
;inline base direction</a> is left-to-right
<dd>Rightward and downward.
<dt>If the <a>block flow direction</a> is top-to-bottom and the <a>inline base direction</a> is right-to-left
<dt>If the <a>block flow direction</a> is right-to-left and the <a>inline base direction</a> is left-to-right
<dd>Leftward and downward.
<dt>If the <a>block flow direction</a> is right-to-left and the <a>inline base direction</a> is right-to-left
<dd>Leftward and upward.
<dt>If the <a>block flow direction</a> is left-to-right and the <a>inline base direction</a> is right-to-left
<dd>Righward and upward.
</dl>
The term <dfn>scrolling area</dfn> refers to a box of a <a>viewport</a> or an element that has the following edges, depending on the
<a>viewport’s</a> or element's <a>scrolling box’s</a> <a>overflow directions</a>.
<table class="complex data">
<thead>

The term <dfn>CSS layout box</dfn> refers to the same term in CSS. For the purpose
of the requirements in this specification, elements that have a computed value of the
'display' property that is ''table-column'' or
''table-column-group'' must be considered to have an associated <a>CSS layout box</a> (the column or column group, respectively).
The term <dfn>SVG layout box</dfn> refers to the same term in SVG.
<p class=issue>The terms <a>CSS layout box</a> and <a>SVG layout box</a> are not currently defined by CSS or SVG.
The term <dfn>layout box</dfn> refers to either a <a>CSS layout box</a> or an <a>SVG layout box</a>.
The term <dfn>transforms</dfn> refers to SVG transforms and CSS transforms. [[!SVG]] [[!CSS-TRANSFORMS-1]]
When a method or an attribute is said to call another method or attribute, the user agent must invoke its internal API for that attribute or method so that
e.g. the author can't change the behavior by overriding attributes or methods with custom properties or functions in ECMAScript.
Unless otherwise stated, string comparisons are done in a <a>case-sensitive</a> manner.
CSS pixels {#css-pixels}
------------------------
All coordinates and dimensions for the APIs defined in this
specification are in CSS pixels, unless otherwise specified. <!--[[!CSS]]-->
Note: This does not apply to e.g. {{matchMedia()}} as the units are explicitly given there.
Zooming {#zooming}
------------------
There are two kinds of zoom, <dfn>page zoom</dfn> which affects the size of the initial viewport<!-- XXX ref -->, and <dfn>pinch zoom</dfn> which acts like
a magnifying glass and does not affect the initial viewport<!-- XXX ref --> or actual viewport<!-- XXX ref -->. [[!CSS-DEVICE-ADAPT]]
Common Infrastructure {#common-infrastructure}
==============================================
Scrolling {#scrolling}
----------------------
When a user agent is to <dfn>perform a scroll</dfn> of a <a>scrolling box</a> <var>box</var>,
to a given position <var>position</var>,
an associated element <var>element</var> and optionally a scroll behavior <var>behavior</var>
(which is <code>"auto"</code> if omitted),
the following steps must be run:
<ol>
<li><a lt="smooth scroll aborted">Abort</a> any ongoing <a>smooth scroll</a> for <var>box</var>.
<li>If the user agent honors the 'scroll-behavior' property and one of the following are true:
<ul>
<li><var>behavior</var> is <code>"auto"</code> and <var>element</var> is not null and its computed value of the
'scroll-behavior' property is ''smooth''
<li><var>behavior</var> is <code>smooth</code>
</ul>
...then perform a <a>smooth scroll</a> of <var>box</var> to <var>position</var>.
Otherwise, perform an <a>instant scroll</a> of <var>box</var> to <var>position</var>.
</ol>
When a user agent is to perform a <dfn id=concept-smooth-scroll>smooth scroll</dfn> of a <a>scrolling box</a> <var>box</var> to <var>position</var>,
it must update the scroll position of <var>box</var> in a user-agent-defined fashion over a user-agent-defined amount of time. When the scroll is
<dfn lt="smooth scroll completed">completed</dfn>, the scroll position of <var>box</var> must be <var>position</var>. The scroll can also
be <dfn lt="smooth scroll aborted">aborted</dfn>, either by an algorithm or by the user. <!--fingerprint-->
When a user agent is to perform an <dfn id=concept-instant-scroll>instant scroll</dfn> of a <a>scrolling box</a> <var>box</var> to
<var>position</var>, it must update the scroll position of <var>box</var> to <var>position</var>.
To <dfn>scroll to the beginning of the document</dfn> for a document <var>document</var>, follow these steps:
<ol>
<li>Let <var>viewport</var> be the <a>viewport</a> that is associated with <var>document</var>. <!-- This assumes that there is a viewport, since
it is only invoked when navigating -->
<li>Let <var>position</var> be the the scroll position <var>viewport</var> would have by aligning the <span>beginning edges</span> of the
<a>scrolling area</a> with the <span>beginning edges</span> of <var>viewport</var>.
<li>If <var>position</var> is the same as <var>viewport</var>'s current scroll position, and <var>viewport</var> does not have an ongoing
<a>smooth scroll</a>, abort these steps.
<li><a>Perform a scroll</a> of <var>viewport</var> to <var>position</var>,
and <var>document</var>'s root element as the associated element, if there is one, or null otherwise.
</ol>
Note: This algorithm is used when navigating to the <code>#top</code> fragment identifier, as defined in HTML. [[!HTML]]
WebIDL values {#webidl-values}
------------------------------
When asked to <dfn>normalize non-finite values</dfn> for a value <var>x</var>,
if <var>x</var> is one of the three special floating point literal values
(<code>Infinity</code>, <code>-Infinity</code> or <code>NaN</code>),

The {{MediaQueryList}} Interface {#the-mediaquerylist-interface}
----------------------------------------------------------------
A {{MediaQueryList}} object has an associated <dfn>media query list</dfn>
and an associated <dfn concept for=MediaQueryList>document</dfn> set on creation.
A {{MediaQueryList}} object has an associated <dfn concept for=MediaQueryList>media</dfn> which is the
<a lt='serialize a media query list'>serialized</a> form of the associated <a>media query list</a>.
A {{MediaQueryList}} object has an associated <dfn concept for=MediaQueryList>matches state</dfn> which is
true if the associated <a>media query list</a> matches the state of the <a concept>document</a>, and false otherwise.
<!--XXX update the matches state when flushing layout (offsetWidth et al), without firing a change event. -->
When asked to <dfn>evaluate media queries and report changes</dfn> for a {{Document}} <var>doc</var>, run these steps:
<ol>
<li>
For each {{MediaQueryList}} object <var>target</var> that has <var>doc</var> as its <a concept>document</a>,
in the order they were created, oldest first, run these substeps:
<ol>
<li>If <var>target</var>'s <a concept>matches state</a> has changed since the last time these steps were run,
<a>dispatch</a> a new <a>event</a> to <var>target</var>
using the {{MediaQueryList}} interface,
with its {{Event/type}} attribute initialized to <code>change</code>,
its {{Event/isTrusted}} attribute initialized to true,
its {{MediaQueryList/media}} attribute initialized to <var>target</var>'s <a concept>media</a>,
and its {{MediaQueryListEvent/matches}} attribute initialized to <var>target</var>'s <a concept>matches state</a>. <!--fingerprint-->
</ol>
</ol>
<div class='example'>
A simple piece of code that detects changes in the orientation of the viewport can be written as follows:
<pre class='lang-javascript'>
function handleOrientationChange(event) {
if(event.matches) // landscape
…
else
…
}
var mql = matchMedia("(orientation:landscape)");
mql.onchange = handleOrientationChange;
</pre>
</div>
<pre class=idl>
interface MediaQueryList : EventTarget {
readonly attribute DOMString media;
readonly attribute boolean matches;
void addListener(EventListener? listener);
void removeListener(EventListener? listener);
attribute EventHandler onchange;
};
</pre>
The <dfn attribute for=MediaQueryList>media</dfn> attribute must return
the associated <a concept>media</a>.
The <dfn attribute for=MediaQueryList>matches</dfn> attribute must return
the associated <a concept>matches state</a>. <!--fingerprint-->
The <dfn method for=MediaQueryList>addListener(<var>listener</var>)</dfn> method must run these steps:
1. If <var>listener</var> is null, terminate these steps.
1. Append an <a>event listener</a> to the associated list of <a>event listeners</a>
with <b>type</b> set to <code>change</code>,
<b>callback</b> set to <var>listener</var>,
and <b>capture</b> set to false,
unless there already is an <a>event listener</a> in that list
with the same <b>type</b>, <b>callback</b>, and <b>capture</b>.
The <dfn method for=MediaQueryList>removeListener(<var>listener</var>)</dfn> method must run these steps:
1. Remove an <a>event listener</a> from the associated list of <a>event listeners</a>,
whose <b>type</b> is <code>change</code>,
<b>callback</b> is <var>listener</var>,
and <b>capture</b> is false.
Note: This specification initially had a custom callback mechanism with {{addListener()}} and
{{removeListener()}}, and the callback was invoked with the associated media query list as argument.
Now the normal event mechanism is used instead.
For backwards compatibility, the {{addListener()}} and {{removeListener()}} methods
are basically aliases for {{addEventListener()}} and {{removeEventListener()}}, respectively,
and the <code>change</code> event masquerades as a {{MediaQueryList}}.
The following are the <a>event handlers</a>
(and their corresponding <a>event handler event types</a>) that must be supported,
as <a>event handler IDL attributes</a>, by all objects implementing the {{MediaQueryList}} interface:
<table class="complex data">
<thead>
<tr>
<th><a>Event handler</a>
<th><a>Event handler event type</a>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><dfn attribute for=MediaQueryList>onchange</dfn>
<td><dfn event for=MediaQueryList>change</dfn>
</table>
<pre class=idl>
[Constructor(DOMString type, optional MediaQueryListEventInit eventInitDict)]
interface MediaQueryListEvent : Event {
readonly attribute DOMString media;
readonly attribute boolean matches;
};
dictionary MediaQueryListEventInit : EventInit {
DOMString media = "";
boolean matches = false;
};
</pre>
The <dfn attribute for=MediaQueryListEvent>media</dfn> attribute must return the value it was initialized to.
The <dfn attribute for=MediaQueryListEvent>matches</dfn> attribute must return the value it was initialized to.
The {{Screen}} Interface {#the-screen-interface}
------------------------------------------------
As its name suggests, the {{Screen}} interface represents information about the screen of the output device.
<pre class=idl>
interface Screen {
readonly attribute long availWidth;
readonly attribute long availHeight;
readonly attribute long width;
readonly attribute long height;
readonly attribute unsigned long colorDepth;
readonly attribute unsigned long pixelDepth;
};
</pre>
The <dfn attribute for=Screen>availWidth</dfn> attribute must return the available width of the rendering surface of the output device,
in CSS pixels. <!--fingerprint-->
The <dfn attribute for=Screen>availHeight</dfn> attribute must return the available height of the rendering surface of the output
device, in CSS pixels. <!--fingerprint-->
The <dfn attribute for=Screen>width</dfn> attribute must return the width of the output device, in CSS pixels. <!--fingerprint-->
The <dfn attribute for=Screen>height</dfn> attribute must return the height of the output device, in CSS pixels. <!--fingerprint-->
The <dfn attribute for=Screen>colorDepth</dfn> attribute must return 24.
The <dfn attribute for=Screen>pixelDepth</dfn> attribute must return 24.
Note: The {{colorDepth}} and {{pixelDepth}} attributes are useless but are
included for compatibility.
Extensions to the {{Document}} Interface {#extensions-to-the-document-interface}
================================================================================
<pre class=idl>
partial interface Document {
Element? elementFromPoint(double x, double y);
sequence<Element> elementsFromPoint(double x, double y);
CaretPosition? caretPositionFromPoint(double x, double y);
readonly attribute Element? scrollingElement;
};
</pre>
The <dfn method for=Document>elementFromPoint(<var>x</var>, <var>y</var>)</dfn> method must follow these steps:
1. If either argument is negative, <var>x</var> is greater than the <a>viewport</a> width excluding the size of a rendered scroll bar (if any), or
<var>y</var> is greater than the <a>viewport</a> height excluding the size of a rendered scroll bar (if any), or there is no <a>viewport</a>
associated with the document, return null and terminate these steps.
1. If there is a <a>layout box</a> in the <a>viewport</a> that would be a target for hit testing at coordinates <var>x</var>,<var>y</var>,
when applying the <a>transforms</a> that apply to the descendants of the <a>viewport</a>, return the associated element and terminate these steps.
1. If the document has a root element, return the root element and terminate these steps.
1. Return null.
Note: The {{elementFromPoint()}} method does not necessarily return the top-most painted element. For
instance, an element can be excluded from being a target for hit testing by using the 'pointer-events' CSS property.
<p class=atrisk>
The <dfn method for=Document>elementsFromPoint(<var>x</var>, <var>y</var>)</dfn> method must follow these steps:
1. Let <var>sequence</var> be a new empty sequence.
1. If either argument is negative, <var>x</var> is greater than the <a>viewport</a> width excluding the size of a rendered scroll bar (if any), or
<var>y</var> is greater than the <a>viewport</a> height excluding the size of a rendered scroll bar (if any), or there is no <a>viewport</a>
associated with the document, return <var>sequence</var> and terminate these steps.
1. For each <a>layout box</a> in the <a>viewport</a>, in paint order, starting with the topmost box, that would be a target for hit testing at
coordinates <var>x</var>,<var>y</var> even if nothing would be overlapping it, when applying the <a>transforms</a> that apply to the descendants of the
<a>viewport</a>, append the associated element to <var>sequence</var>.
1. If the document has a root element, and the last item in <var>sequence</var> is not the root element, append the root element to <var>sequence</var>.
1. Return <var>sequence</var>.
The <dfn method for=Document>caretPositionFromPoint(<var>x</var>, <var>y</var>)</dfn> method must return the
result of running these steps:
1. If there is no <a>viewport</a> associated with the document, return null.
1. If either argument is negative, <var>x</var> is greater
than the <a>viewport</a> width excluding the size of a rendered
scroll bar (if any), <var>y</var> is greather than the
<a>viewport</a> height excluding the size of a rendered scroll bar
(if any) return null.
1. If at the coordinates <var>x</var>,<var>y</var>
in the <a>viewport</a> no text insertion point indicator would have
been inserted when applying the <a>transforms</a> that apply to the descendants of the <a>viewport</a>, return null.
1. If at the coordinates <var>x</var>,<var>y</var>
in the <a>viewport</a> a text insertion point indicator would have
been inserted in a text entry widget which is also a replaced element, when applying the <a>transforms</a> that apply to the descendants of the
<a>viewport</a>, return a <a>caret position</a> with its properties set as follows:
<dl>
<dt><a>caret node</a>
<dd>The node corresponding to the text entry widget.
<dt><a>caret offset</a>
<dd>The amount of 16-bit units to the left of where the
text insertion point indicator would have inserted.
<dt><a>caret range</a>
<dd>null
</dl>
1. Otherwise, return a <a>caret position</a> where the
<a>caret range</a> is a collapsed
{{Range}} object for the position
where the text insertion point indicator would have been inserted when applying the <a>transforms</a> that apply to the descendants of the
<a>viewport</a>, and the other properties are set as follows:
<dl>
<dt><a>caret node</a>
<dd>The {{Range/startContainer}}
of the <a>caret range</a>.
<dt><a>caret offset</a>
<dd>The {{Range/startOffset}} of
the <a>caret range</a>.
</dl>
Note: The specifics of hit testing are out of scope of this
specification and therefore the exact details of
{{elementFromPoint()}} and {{caretPositionFromPoint()}}
are therefore too. Hit testing will hopefully be defined in a future
revision of CSS or HTML.
<p class=atrisk>The <dfn attribute for=Document>scrollingElement</dfn> attribute, on getting, must run these steps:
1. If the {{Document}} is in <a>quirks mode</a>, follow these substeps:
1. If <a>the HTML <code>body</code> element</a> exists, and it is not <a>potentially scrollable</a>, return <a>the HTML <code>body</code> element</a> and abort these steps.
1. Return null and abort these steps.
1. If there is a root element, return the root element and abort these steps.
1. Return null.
Note: For non-conforming user agents that always use the <a>quirks mode</a> behavior for {{Element/scrollTop}}
and {{Element/scrollLeft}}, the {{Document/scrollingElement}} attribute is expected to also always return
<a>the HTML <code>body</code> element</a> (or null if it does not exist).
This API exists so that Web developers can use it to get the right element to use for scrolling APIs,
without making assumptions about a particular user agent's behavior
or having to invoke a scroll to see which element scrolls the viewport.
Note: <a>The HTML <code>body</code> element</a> is different from HTML's <code>document.body</code>
in that the latter can return a <code>frameset</code> element.
The {{CaretPosition}} Interface {#the-caretposition-interface}
--------------------------------------------------------------
A <dfn>caret position</dfn> gives the position of a text insertion point indicator. It always has an associated
<dfn>caret node</dfn>, <dfn>caret offset</dfn>, and <dfn>caret range</dfn>. It is represented by a {{CaretPosition}} object.
<pre class=idl>
interface CaretPosition {
readonly attribute Node offsetNode;
readonly attribute unsigned long offset;
DOMRect? getClientRect();
};
</pre>
The <dfn attribute for=CaretPosition>offsetNode</dfn> attribute must return the <a>caret node</a>.
The <dfn attribute for=CaretPosition>offset</dfn> attribute must return the <a>caret offset</a>.
The <dfn method for=CaretPosition>getClientRect()</dfn> method must follow these steps,
aborting on the first step that returns a value:
1. If <a>caret range</a> is not null:
1. Let <var>list</var> be the result of invoking the {{Range/getClientRects()}} method on the range.
1. If <var>list</var> is empty, return null.
1. Return the {{DOMRect}} object in <var>list</var> at index 0.
1. If <a>caret node</a> is a text entry widget that is a replaced element,
and that is in the document,
return a {{DOMRect}} object for the caret in the widget
as represented by the <a>caret offset</a> value.
The <a>transforms</a> that apply to the element and its ancestors are applied.
1. Return null.
