[webkit-dev] HowTO: Finding URL on click event ?

[Vivek Satpute]

Hi,

I am new to webkit and have very less exposure to it.

If my webpage have many links/URLs and if I clicked on a URL then browser
loads that URL. Click event only gives (x,y) co-ordinates of clicked area. I
want
to explore that from (x, y) points how webkit find out the particular URL
when
we click on it.

So, I browsed the webkit code in  a following way:


webkit_web_view_button_press_event()
    |
handleMousePressEvent(const PlatformMouseEvent& mouseEvent)
    |
Document::prepareMouseEvent()
    |
RenderLayer::hitTest()
    |
RenderLayer::hitTestLayer()
    |
RenderLayer::calculateRects()
    :
    :
    :
    :
later on MouseEventWithHitTestResults::isOverLink() returns TRUE, if click
is did over URL.

But I am not getting how exactly webkit uses (x,y) point to find out that
click is over URL ?
Can anyone please help me out to understand this ?

Thanks in advance,
Vivek
