Abstract

The APIs introduced by this specification provide authors with a way to inspect and manipulate the visual view of a document. This includes getting the position of element layout boxes, obtaining the width of the viewport through script, and also scrolling an element.

CSS is a language for describing the rendering of structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, etc.

1. 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 some new features which allow for scroll customization.

2. Terminology

Terminology used in this specification is from DOM, CSSOM and HTML. [DOM] [CSSOM] [HTML]

An element body (which will be the body element) is potentially scrollable if all of the following conditions are true:

Note: A body element that is potentially scrollable might not have a scrolling box. For instance, it could have a used value of overflow being auto but not have its content overflowing its content area.

A scrolling box of a viewport or element has two overflow directions, which are the block-end and inline-end directions for that viewport or element. Note that the initial scroll position might not be aligned with the scrolling area origin depending on the content-distribution properties, see CSS Box Alignment 3 § 5.3 Overflow and Scroll Positions.

The term scrolling area refers to a box of a viewport or an element that has the following edges, depending on the viewport’s or element’s scrolling box’s overflow directions.

If the overflow directions are… For a viewport For an element
rightward and downward
top edge
The top edge of the initial containing block.
right edge
The right-most edge of the right edge of the initial containing block and the right margin edge of all of the viewport’s descendants' boxes.

The origin of a scrolling area is the origin of the initial containing block if the scrolling area is a viewport, and otherwise the top left padding edge of the element when the element has its default scroll position. The x-coordinate increases rightwards, and the y-coordinate increases downwards.

The beginning edges of a particular set of edges of a box or element are the following edges:

If the overflow directions are rightward and downward
The top and left edges.
If the overflow directions are leftward and downward
The top and right edges.
If the overflow directions are leftward and upward
The bottom and right edges.
If the overflow directions are rightward and upward
The bottom and left edges.

The ending edges of a particular set of edges of a box or element are the following edges:

If the overflow directions are rightward and downward
The bottom and right edges.
If the overflow directions are leftward and downward
The bottom and left edges.
If the overflow directions are leftward and upward
The top and left edges.
If the overflow directions are rightward and upward
The top and right edges.

The visual viewport is a kind of viewport whose scrolling area is another viewport, called the layout viewport.

In addition to scrolling, the visual viewport may also apply a scale transform to its layout viewport. This transform is applied to the canvas of the layout viewport and does not affect its internal coordinate space.

Note: The scale transform of the visual viewport is often referred to as "pinch-zoom". Conceptually, this transform changes the size of the CSS reference pixel but changes the size of the layout viewport proportionally so that it does not cause reflow of the page’s contents.

The magnitude of the scale transform is known as the visual viewport’s scale factor.

The VisualViewport object has an associated document, which is a Document object. It is the associated document of the owner Window of VisualViewport. The layout viewport is the owner Window's viewport.

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 box (the column or column group, respectively).

The term SVG layout box refers to a box generated by an SVG element which does not correspond to a CSS-defined display type. (Such as the box generated by a rect element.)

The term transforms refers to SVG transforms and CSS transforms. [SVG11] [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, all string comparisons use is.

2.1. CSS pixels

All coordinates and dimensions for the APIs defined in this specification are in CSS pixels, unless otherwise specified. [CSS-VALUES]

Note: This does not apply to e.g. matchMedia() as the units are explicitly given there.

2.2. Zooming

There are two kinds of zoom, page zoom which affects the size of the initial viewport, and the visual viewport scale factor which acts like a magnifying glass and does not affect the initial viewport or actual viewport. [CSS-DEVICE-ADAPT]

Note: The "scale factor" is often referred to as "pinch-zoom"; however, it can be affected through means other than pinch-zooming. e.g. The user agent may zooms in on a focused input element to make it legible.

2.3. Web-exposed screen information

User agents may choose to hide information about the screen of the output device, in order to protect the user’s privacy. In order to do so in a consistent manner across APIs, this specification defines the following terms, each having a width and a height, the origin being the top left corner, and the x- and y-coordinates increase rightwards and downwards, respectively.

The Web-exposed screen area is one of the following:

The Web-exposed available screen area is one of the following:

3. Common Infrastructure

This specification depends on the WHATWG Infra standard. [INFRA]

3.1. Scrolling

When a user agent is to perform a scroll of a scrolling box box, to a given position position, an associated element element and optionally a scroll behavior behavior (which is "auto" if omitted), the following steps must be run:

  1. Abort any ongoing smooth scroll for box.
  2. If the user agent honors the scroll-behavior property and one of the following are true:
    • behavior is "auto" and element is not null and its computed value of the scroll-behavior property is smooth
    • behavior is smooth
    ...then perform a smooth scroll of box to position. Once the position has finished updating, emit the scrollend event. Otherwise, perform an instant scroll of box to position. After an instant scroll emit the scrollend event.

    Note: If the scroll position did not change as a result of the user interaction or programmatic invocation, where no translations were applied as a result, then no scrollend event fires because no scrolling occured.

Scroll is completed when the scroll position has no more pending updates or translations and the user has completed their gesture. Scroll position updates include smooth or instant mouse wheel scrolling, keyboard scrolling, scroll-snap events, or other APIs and gestures which cause the scroll position to update and possibly interpolate. User gestures like touch panning or trackpad scrolling aren’t complete until pointers or keys have released.

When a user agent is to perform a smooth scroll of a scrolling box box to position, it must update the scroll position of box in a user-agent-defined fashion over a user-agent-defined amount of time. When the scroll is completed, the scroll position of box must be position. The scroll can also be aborted, either by an algorithm or by the user.

When a user agent is to perform an instant scroll of a scrolling box box to position, it must update the scroll position of box to position.

To scroll to the beginning of the document for a document document, follow these steps:

  1. Let viewport be the viewport that is associated with document.
  2. Let position be the scroll position viewport would have by aligning the beginning edges of the scrolling area with the beginning edges of viewport.
  3. If position is the same as viewport’s current scroll position, and viewport does not have an ongoing smooth scroll, abort these steps.
  4. Perform a scroll of viewport to position, and document’s root element as the associated element, if there is one, or null otherwise.

Note: This algorithm is used when navigating to the #top fragment identifier, as defined in HTML. [HTML]

3.2. WebIDL values

When asked to normalize non-finite values for a value x, if x is one of the three special floating point literal values (Infinity, -Infinity or NaN), then x must be changed to the value 0. [WEBIDL]

4. Extensions to the Window Interface

      1. Optionally, clamp width in a user-agent-defined manner so that the window does not get too small or bigger than the Web-exposed available screen area.

      2. Optionally, size target’s window by moving its right edge such that the distance between the left and right edges of the viewport are width CSS pixels of target.

      3. Optionally, move target’s window in a user-agent-defined manner so that it does not grow outside the Web-exposed available screen area.

  8. If tokenizedFeatures["height"] exists:

    1. Set height to the result of invoking the rules for parsing integers on tokenizedFeatures["height"].

    2. If height is an error, set height to 0.

    3. If height is not 0:

      1. Optionally, clamp height in a user-agent-defined manner so that the window does not get too small or bigger than the Web-exposed available screen area.

      2. Optionally, size target’s window by moving its bottom edge such that the distance between the top and bottom edges of the viewport are height CSS pixels of target.

      3. Optionally, move target’s window in a user-agent-defined manner so that it does not grow outside the Web-exposed available screen area.

A supported open() feature name is one of the following:

width
The width of the viewport.
height
The height of the viewport.

Firefox for Android?iOS Safari?Chrome for Android?Android WebView?Samsung Internet?Opera Mobile?

This section integrates with the event loop defined in HTML. [HTML]

A MediaQueryList object has an associated media query list and an associated document set on creation.

A MediaQueryList object has an associated media which is the serialized form of the associated media query list.

A MediaQueryList object has an associated matches state which is true if the associated media query list matches the state of the document, and false otherwise.

When asked to evaluate media queries and report changes for a Document doc, run these steps:

  1. For each MediaQueryList object target that has doc as its document, in the order they were created, oldest first, run these substeps:

    1. If target’s matches state has changed since the last time these steps were run, fire an event named change at target using MediaQueryListEvent, with its isTrusted attribute initialized to true, its media attribute initialized to target’s media, and its matches attribute initialized to target’s matches state.
A simple piece of code that detects changes in the orientation of the viewport can be written as follows:
function handleOrientationChange(event) {
    if(event.matches) // landscapeelse}
var mql = matchMedia("(orientation:landscape)");
mql.onchange = handleOrientationChange;
[Exposed=Window]
interface MediaQueryList : EventTarget {
  readonly attribute CSSOMString media;
  readonly attribute boolean matches;
  undefined addListener(EventListener? callback);
  undefined removeListener(EventListener? callback);
           attribute EventHandler onchange;
};

Opera12.1+Edge79+

The media attribute must return the associated media.

MediaQueryList/matches

Opera12.1+Edge79+
Edge (Legacy)12+IE10+
Firefox for Android?iOS Safari?Chrome for Android?Android WebView37+Samsung Internet?Opera Mobile12.1+

The matches attribute must return the associated matches state.

The addListener(callback) method, when invoked, must run these steps:

  1. Add an event listener with this and an event listener whose type is change, and callback is callback.

The removeListener(callback) method, when invoked, must run these steps:

  1. If this’s event listener list contains an event listener whose type is change, callback is callback, and capture is false, then remove an event listener with this and that event listener.

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 change event masquerades as a MediaQueryList.

The following are the event handlers (and their corresponding event handler event types) that must be supported, as event handler IDL attributes, by all objects implementing the MediaQueryList interface:

Firefox1+Safari1+Chrome1+
Opera12.1+Edge79+
Edge (Legacy)12+IE4+
Firefox for Android?iOS Safari?Chrome for Android?Android WebView?Samsung Internet?Opera Mobile12.1+

As its name suggests, the Screen interface represents information about the screen of the output device.

[Exposed=Window]
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;
};

Firefox1+Safari1+Chrome1+
Opera12.1+Edge79+
Edge (Legacy)12+IE4+
Firefox for Android?iOS Safari?Chrome for Android?Android WebView?Samsung Internet?Opera Mobile12.1+

The availWidth attribute must return the width of the Web-exposed available screen area.

Screen/availHeight

In all current engines.

Firefox1+Safari1+Chrome1+
Opera12.1+Edge79+
Edge (Legacy)12+IE4+
Firefox for Android?iOS Safari?Chrome for Android?Android WebView?Samsung Internet?Opera Mobile12.1+

The availHeight attribute must return the height of the Web-exposed available screen area.

Screen/width

Firefox1+Safari1+Chrome1+
Opera12.1+Edge79+
Edge (Legacy)12+IE4+

Firefox1+Safari1+Chrome1+
Opera12.1+Edge79+
Edge (Legacy)12+IE4+
Firefox for Android?iOS Safari?Chrome for Android?Android WebView?Samsung Internet?Opera Mobile12.1+

The height attribute must return the height of the Web-exposed screen area.

Screen/colorDepth

Firefox1+Safari1+Chrome1+
Opera12.1+Edge79+
Edge (Legacy)12+IE9+
Firefox for Android?iOS Safari?Chrome for Android?Android WebView?Samsung Internet1.0+Opera Mobile12.1+

The colorDepth and pixelDepth attributes should return the number of bits allocated to colors for a pixel in the output device, excluding the alpha channel. If the user agent is not able to return the number of bits used by the output device, it should return the closest estimation such as, for example, the number of bits used by the frame buffer sent to the display or any internal representation that would be the closest to the value the output device would use. The user agent must return a value for these attributes at least equal to the value of the color media feature multiplied by three. If the different color components are not represented with the same number of bits, the returned value may be greater than three times the value of the color media feature. If the user agent does not know the color depth or does not want to return it for privacy considerations, it should return 24.

Note: The colorDepth and pixelDepth attributes return the same value for compatibility reasons.

Note: Some non-conforming implementations are known to return 32 instead of 24.

5. Extensions to the Document Interface

Document

Firefox3+Safari4+Chrome1+
Opera12.1+Edge79+
Edge (Legacy)12+IE4+
Firefox for Android?iOS Safari?Chrome for Android?Android WebView37+Samsung Internet?Opera Mobile12.1+

The elementFromPoint(x, y) method must follow these steps:

  1. If either argument is negative, x is greater than the viewport width excluding the size of a rendered scroll bar (if any), or y is greater than the viewport height excluding the size of a rendered scroll bar (if any), or there is no viewport associated with the document, return null and terminate these steps.

  2. If there is a box in the viewport that would be a target for hit testing at coordinates x,y, when applying the transforms that apply to the descendants of the viewport, return the associated element and terminate these steps.

  3. If the document has a root element, return the root element and terminate these steps.

  4. 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.

Document/elementsFromPoint

In all current engines.

Firefox46+Safari11.1+Chrome43+
Opera30+Edge79+
Edge (Legacy)NoneIENone
Firefox for Android?iOS Safari?Chrome for Android?Android WebView?Samsung Internet?Opera Mobile30+

The elementsFromPoint(x, y) method must follow these steps:

  1. Let sequence be a new empty sequence.

  2. If either argument is negative, x is greater than the viewport width excluding the size of a rendered scroll bar (if any), or y is greater than the viewport height excluding the size of a rendered scroll bar (if any), or there is no viewport associated with the document, return sequence and terminate these steps.

  3. For each box in the viewport, in paint order, starting with the topmost box, that would be a target for hit testing at coordinates x,y even if nothing would be overlapping it, when applying the transforms that apply to the descendants of the viewport, append the associated element to sequence.

  4. If the document has a root element, and the last item in sequence is not the root element, append the root element to sequence.

  5. Return sequence.

Document/caretPositionFromPoint

In only one current engine.

Firefox20+SafariNoneChromeNone
Opera?EdgeNone
Edge (Legacy)?IENone
Firefox for Android?iOS Safari?Chrome for Android?Android WebView?Samsung Internet?Opera Mobile?

The caretPositionFromPoint(x, y) method must return the result of running these steps:

  1. If there is no viewport associated with the document, return null.

  2. If either argument is negative, x is greater than the viewport width excluding the size of a rendered scroll bar (if any), y is greater than the viewport height excluding the size of a rendered scroll bar (if any) return null.

  3. If at the coordinates x,y in the viewport no text insertion point indicator would have been inserted when applying the transforms that apply to the descendants of the viewport, return null.

  4. If at the coordinates x,y in the viewport a text insertion point indicator would have been inserted in a text entry widget which is also a replaced element, when applying the transforms that apply to the descendants of the viewport, return a caret position with its properties set as follows:

    caret node
    The node corresponding to the text entry widget.
    caret offset
    The amount of 16-bit units to the left of where the text insertion point indicator would have inserted.
    caret range
    null
  5. Otherwise, return a caret position where the caret range is a collapsed Range object for the position where the text insertion point indicator would have been inserted when applying the transforms that apply to the descendants of the viewport, and the other properties are set as follows:

    caret node
    The start node of the caret range.
    caret offset
    The start offset of the caret range.

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.

Document/scrollingElement

In all current engines.

Firefox48+Safari9+Chrome44+
Opera?Edge79+
Edge (Legacy)12+IENone
Firefox for Android?iOS Safari?Chrome for Android?Android WebView?Samsung Internet?Opera Mobile?

The scrollingElement attribute, on getting, must run these steps:

  1. If the Document is in quirks mode, follow these substeps:

    1. If the body element exists, and it is not potentially scrollable, return the body element and abort these steps.

      For this purpose, a value of overflow:clip on the the body element’s parent element must be treated as overflow:hidden.

    2. Return null and abort these steps.

  2. If there is a root element, return the root element and abort these steps.

  3. Return null.

Note: For non-conforming user agents that always use the quirks mode behavior for scrollTop and scrollLeft, the scrollingElement attribute is expected to also always return the body element (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: the body element is different from HTML’s document.body in that the latter can return a frameset element.

5.1. The CaretPosition Interface

CaretPosition

In only one current engine.

Firefox20+SafariNoneChromeNone
Opera?EdgeNone
Edge (Legacy)?IENone
Firefox for Android?iOS Safari?Chrome for Android?Android WebView?Samsung Internet?Opera Mobile?

A caret position gives the position of a text insertion point indicator. It always has an associated caret node, caret offset, and caret range. It is represented by a CaretPosition object.

[Exposed=Window]
interface CaretPosition {
  readonly attribute Node offsetNode;
  readonly attribute unsigned long offset;
  [NewObject] DOMRect? getClientRect();
};

The offsetNode attribute must return the caret node.

The offset attribute must return the caret offset.

The getClientRect() method must follow these steps, aborting on the first step that returns a value:

  1. If caret range is not null:

    1. Let list be the result of invoking the getClientRects() method on the range.

    2. If list is empty, return null.

    3. Return the DOMRect object in list at index 0.

  2. If caret node 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 caret offset value. The transforms that apply to the element and its ancestors are applied.

  3. Return null.

Note: This DOMRect object is not live.

Firefox3+Safari4+Chrome2+
Opera9.5+Edge79+
Edge (Legacy)12+IE5+
Firefox for Android?iOS Safari?Chrome for Android?Android WebView2+Samsung Internet?Opera Mobile10.1+

The getClientRects() method, when invoked, must return the result of the following algorithm:

  1. If the element on which it was invoked does not have an associated box return an empty DOMRectList object and stop this algorithm.

  2. If the element has an associated SVG layout box return a DOMRectList object containing a single DOMRect object that describes the bounding box of the element as defined by the SVG specification, applying the transforms that apply to the element and its ancestors.

  3. Return a DOMRectList object containing DOMRect objects in content order, one for each box fragment, describing its border area (including those with a height or width of zero) with the following constraints:

    • Apply the transforms that apply to the element and its ancestors.

    • If the element on which the method was invoked has a computed value for the display property of table or inline-table include both the table box and the caption box, if any, but not the anonymous container box.

    • Replace each anonymous block box with its child box(es) and repeat this until no anonymous block boxes are left in the final list.

Note: The DOMRect objects returned by getClientRects() are not live.

Element/getBoundingClientRect

Firefox3+Safari4+Chrome2+
Opera9.5+Edge79+
Edge (Legacy)12+IE4+
Firefox for Android?iOS Safari3.2+Chrome for Android?Android WebView2+Samsung Internet?Opera Mobile10.1+

The getBoundingClientRect() method, when invoked on an element element, must return the result of getting the bounding box for element.

To get the bounding box for element, run the following steps:
  1. Let list be the result of invoking getClientRects() on element.

  2. If the list is empty return a DOMRect object whose x, y, width and height members are zero.

  3. If all rectangles in list have zero width or height, return the first rectangle in list.

  4. Otherwise, return a DOMRect object describing the smallest rectangle that includes all of the rectangles in list of which the height or width is not zero.

Note: The DOMRect object returned by getBoundingClientRect() is not live.

The following snippet gets the dimensions of the first div element in a document:
var example = document.getElementsByTagName("div")[0].getBoundingClientRect();
var exampleWidth = example.width;
var exampleHeight = example.height;
Note: The checkVisibility() method provides a set of simple checks for whether an element is potentially "visible". It defaults to a very simple and straightforward method based on the box tree, but allows for several additional checks to be opted into, depending on what precise notion of "visibility" is desired.

The checkVisibility(options) method must run these steps, when called on an element this:

  1. If this does not have an associated box, return false.

  2. If a shadow-including ancestor of this has content-visibility: hidden, return false.

  3. If the checkOpacity dictionary member of options is true, and this, or a shadow-including ancestor of this, has a computed opacity value of 0, return false.

  4. If the checkVisibilityCSS dictionary member of options is true, and this is invisible, return false.

  5. Return true.

  1. Let behavior be "auto".

  2. Let block be "start".

  3. Let inline be "nearest".

  4. If arg is a ScrollIntoViewOptions dictionary, then:

    1. Set behavior to the behavior dictionary member of options.

    2. Set block to the block dictionary member of options.

    3. Set inline to the inline dictionary member of options.

  5. Otherwise, if arg is false, then set block to "end".

  6. If the element does not have any associated box, or is not available to user-agent features, then return.

  7. Scroll the element into view with behavior, block, and inline.

  8. Optionally perform some other action that brings the element to the user’s attention.

  8. If the element is the root element invoke scroll() on window with scrollX on window as first argument and y as second argument, and terminate these steps.

  9. If the element is the body element, document is in quirks mode, and the element is not potentially scrollable, invoke scroll() on window with options as the only argument, and terminate these steps.

  10. If the element does not have any associated box, the element has no associated scrolling box, or the element has no overflow, terminate these steps.

  11. Scroll the element to x,y, with the scroll behavior being the value of the behavior dictionary member of options.

6.1. Element Scrolling Members

To scroll an element into view element, with a scroll behavior behavior, a block flow direction position block, and an inline base direction position inline, means to run these steps for each ancestor element or viewport that establishes a scrolling box scrolling box, in order of innermost to outermost scrolling box:

  1. If the Document associated with element is not same origin with the Document associated with the element or viewport associated with box, terminate these steps.

  2. Let element bounding border box be the box that the return value of invoking getBoundingClientRect() on element represents.

  3. Let scrolling box edge A be the beginning edge in the block flow direction of scrolling box, and let element edge A be element bounding border box’s edge on the same physical side as that of scrolling box edge A.

  4. Let scrolling box edge B be the ending edge in the block flow direction of scrolling box, and let element edge B be element bounding border box’s edge on the same physical side as that of scrolling box edge B.

  5. Let scrolling box edge C be the beginning edge in the inline base direction of scrolling box, and let element edge C be element bounding border box’s edge on the same physical side as that of scrolling box edge C.

  6. Let scrolling box edge D be the ending edge in the inline base direction of scrolling box, and let element edge D be element bounding border box’s edge on the same physical side as that of scrolling box edge D.

  7. Let element height be the distance between element edge A and element edge B.

  8. Let scrolling box height be the distance between scrolling box edge A and scrolling box edge B.

  9. Let element width be the distance between element edge C and element edge D.

  10. Let scrolling box width be the distance between scrolling box edge C and scrolling box edge D.

  11. Let position be the scroll position scrolling box would have by following these steps:

    1. If block is "start", then align element edge A with scrolling box edge A.

    2. Otherwise, if block is "end", then align element edge B with scrolling box edge B.

    3. Otherwise, if block is "center", then align the center of element bounding border box with the center of scrolling box in scrolling box’s block flow direction.

    4. Otherwise, block is "nearest":

      If element edge A and element edge B are both outside scrolling box edge A and scrolling box edge B
      Do nothing.
      If element edge A is outside scrolling box edge A and element height is less than scrolling box height
      If element edge B is outside scrolling box edge B and element height is greater than scrolling box height
      Align element edge A with scrolling box edge A.
      If element edge A is outside scrolling box edge A and element height is greater than scrolling box height
      If element edge B is outside scrolling box edge B and element height is less than scrolling box height
      Align element edge B with scrolling box edge B.
    5. If inline is "start", then align element edge C with scrolling box edge C.

    6. Otherwise, if inline is "end", then align element edge D with scrolling box edge D.

    7. Otherwise, if inline is "center", then align the center of element bounding border box with the center of scrolling box in scrolling box’s inline base direction.

    8. Otherwise, inline is "nearest":

      If element edge C and element edge D are both outside scrolling box edge C and scrolling box edge D
      Do nothing.
      If element edge C is outside scrolling box edge C and element width is less than scrolling box width
      If element edge D is outside scrolling box edge D and element width is greater than scrolling box width
      Align element edge C with scrolling box edge C.
      If element edge C is outside scrolling box edge C and element width is greater than scrolling box width
      If element edge D is outside scrolling box edge D and element width is less than scrolling box width
      Align element edge D with scrolling box edge D.
  12. If position is the same as scrolling box’s current scroll position, and scrolling box does not have an ongoing smooth scroll, then return.

  13. If scrolling box is associated with an element
    Let associated element be the element.
    If scrolling box is associated with a viewport
    Let document be the viewport’s associated Document. Let associated element be document’s root element, if there is one, or null otherwise.
  14. Perform a scroll of scrolling box to position, associated element as the associated element and behavior as the scroll behavior.

To scroll an element element to x,y optionally with a scroll behavior behavior (which is "auto" if omitted) means to:

  1. Let box be element’s associated scrolling box.

  2. If box has rightward overflow direction
    Let x be max(0, min(x, element scrolling area width - element padding edge width)).
    If box has leftward overflow direction
    Let x be min(0, max(x, element padding edge width - element scrolling area width)).
  3. If box has downward overflow direction
    Let y be max(0, min(y, element scrolling area height - element padding edge height)).
    If box has upward overflow direction
    Let y be min(0, max(y, element padding edge height - element scrolling area height)).
  4. Let position be the scroll position box would have by aligning scrolling area x-coordinate x with the left of box and aligning scrolling area y-coordinate y with the top of box.

  5. If position is the same as box’s current scroll position, and box does not have an ongoing smooth scroll, abort these steps.

  6. Perform a scroll of box to position, element as the associated element and behavior as the scroll behavior.

This section integrates with the event loop defined in HTML. [HTML]

When asked to run the resize steps for a Document doc, run these steps:

  1. If doc’s viewport has had its width or height changed (e.g. as a result of the user resizing the browser window, or changing page zoom, or an iframe element’s dimensions are changed) since the last time these steps were run, fire an event named resize at the Window object associated with doc.

  2. If the VisualViewport associated with doc has had its scale, width, or height properties changed since the last time these steps were run, fire an event named resize at the VisualViewport.

13.2. Scrolling

This section integrates with the event loop defined in HTML. [HTML]

Each Document has an associated list of pending scroll event targets, initially empty.

Each Document has an associated list of pending scrollend event targets, initially empty.

Whenever a viewport gets scrolled (whether in response to user interaction or by an API), the user agent must run these steps:

  1. Let doc be the viewport’s associated Document.

  2. If doc is already in doc’s pending scroll event targets, abort these steps.

  3. Append doc to doc’s pending scroll event targets.

Whenever an element gets scrolled (whether in response to user interaction or by an API), the user agent must run these steps:

  1. Let doc be the element’s node document.

  2. If the element is already in doc’s pending scroll event targets, abort these steps.

  3. Append the element to doc’s pending scroll event targets.

When asked to run the scroll steps for a Document doc, run these steps:

  1. For each item target in doc’s pending scroll event targets, in the order they were added to the list, run these substeps:

    1. If target is a Document, fire an event named scroll that bubbles at target and fire an event named scroll at the VisualViewport that is associated with target.

    2. Otherwise, fire an event named scroll at target.

  2. Empty doc’s pending scroll event targets.

Whenever scrolling is completed, the user agent must run these steps:

  1. If scrolling was done on a viewport, let doc be the viewport’s associated Document and target be the viewport. Otherwise, scrolling is done on an element and let doc be the element’s node document and target be the element.

  2. If target is already in doc’s pending scrollend event targets, abort these steps.

  3. Append target to doc’s pending scrollend event targets.

  4. For each item target in doc’s pending scrollend event targets, in the order they were added to the list, run these substeps:

    1. If target is a Document, fire an event named scrollend that bubbles at target.

    2. Otherwise, fire an event named scrollend at target.

  5. Empty doc’s pending scrollend event targets.

14. Security and Privacy Considerations

The Screen interface exposes information about the user’s display configuration, which maybe be used as input to fingerprinting algorithms. User agents may choose to hide or quantize information about the screen size or configuration, in order to protect the user’s privacy.

MouseEvent contains information about the screen-relative coordinates of the event. User agents may set these properties to values that obscure the actual screen-relative location of the event, in order to protect the user’s privacy.

Conformance

Document conventions

Conformance requirements are expressed with a combination of descriptive assertions and RFC 2119 terminology. The key words “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in the normative parts of this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119. However, for readability, these words do not appear in all uppercase letters in this specification.

All of the text of this specification is normative except sections explicitly marked as non-normative, examples, and notes. [RFC2119]

Examples in this specification are introduced with the words “for example” or are set apart from the normative text with class="example", like this:

This is an example of an informative example.

Informative notes begin with the word “Note” and are set apart from the normative text with class="note", like this:

Note, this is an informative note.

Advisements are normative sections styled to evoke special attention and are set apart from other normative text with <strong class="advisement">, like this: UAs MUST provide an accessible alternative.

Tests

Tests relating to the content of this specification may be documented in “Tests” blocks like this one. Any such block is non-normative.


Conformance classes

Conformance to this specification is defined for three conformance classes:

style sheet
A CSS style sheet.
renderer
A UA that interprets the semantics of a style sheet and renders documents that use them.
authoring tool
A UA that writes a style sheet.

A style sheet is conformant to this specification if all of its statements that use syntax defined in this module are valid according to the generic CSS grammar and the individual grammars of each feature defined in this module.

A renderer is conformant to this specification if, in addition to interpreting the style sheet as defined by the appropriate specifications, it supports all the features defined by this specification by parsing them correctly and rendering the document accordingly. However, the inability of a UA to correctly render a document due to limitations of the device does not make the UA non-conformant. (For example, a UA is not required to render color on a monochrome monitor.)

An authoring tool is conformant to this specification if it writes style sheets that are syntactically correct according to the generic CSS grammar and the individual grammars of each feature in this module, and meet all other conformance requirements of style sheets as described in this module.

Partial implementations

So that authors can exploit the forward-compatible parsing rules to assign fallback values, CSS renderers must treat as invalid (and ignore as appropriate) any at-rules, properties, property values, keywords, and other syntactic constructs for which they have no usable level of support. In particular, user agents must not selectively ignore unsupported component values and honor supported values in a single multi-value property declaration: if any value is considered invalid (as unsupported values must be), CSS requires that the entire declaration be ignored.

Implementations of Unstable and Proprietary Features

To avoid clashes with future stable CSS features, the CSSWG recommends following best practices for the implementation of unstable features and proprietary extensions to CSS.

Non-experimental implementations

Once a specification reaches the Candidate Recommendation stage, non-experimental implementations are possible, and implementors should release an unprefixed implementation of any CR-level feature they can demonstrate to be correctly implemented according to spec.

To establish and maintain the interoperability of CSS across implementations, the CSS Working Group requests that non-experimental CSS renderers submit an implementation report (and, if necessary, the testcases used for that implementation report) to the W3C before releasing an unprefixed implementation of any CSS features. Testcases submitted to W3C are subject to review and correction by the CSS Working Group.

Further information on submitting testcases and implementation reports can be found from on the CSS Working Group’s website at http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/. Questions should be directed to the public-css-testsuite@w3.org mailing list.

Issues Index

The object IDL fragment redefines some members. Can we resolve this somehow?
DOM order

p1 = top left even in RTL

scale to 0 means divide by zero, return 0x0

cross-frames not allowed, throw WrongDocumentError?

points are flattened (3d transform), z=0. like getClientRect

test block in inline

pseudo-elements before/after are children of the element

viewport boxes are all the same
