[webkit-dev] NeedHelp_In_SpatialNavigation

[Antonio Gomes]

Hi

1) When we use spatial navigation, to find the nearest node it traverse DOM

Code tranverses the DOM, yes, but it gets the position information from the
associated node renderer. So it gets it from the RenderTree.

So is there any way we can get the nodes information of any particular area.

Not sure if I understood you here. Could you  elaborate?

2) If from render tree we can get the nodes according to position then we

If the RenderTree can tell us what elements in the DOM tree are 'focusable'
(which I do not think it can), yes.

Not at the moment.
