[webkit-dev] NeedHelp_In_SpatialNavigation

[Sanjeet Pratap Singh]

Hi,
Thanks for Replying...


Still i have some doubts ...can you help me to clear them.

1) When we use spatial navigation, to find the nearest node it traverse DOM
tree, is that node information can not be retrieved from render tree?
As per my understanding render tree (after layout) will have the position
information for each node. So is there any way we can get the nodes
information of any particular area.
Please let me know if my understanding is wrong.

2) If from render tree we can get the nodes according to position then we
can skip the traversing of whole DOM tree.

3) Is Spatial navigation is related to Hit testing?


I have not start profiling it..but soon ill start and share the result.

Thanks
Sanjeet
