given below:

    Node* node = result.innerNode();
    while (node) {
        // for imagemaps, URLElement is the associated area element not the
image itself
        if (node->isLink() && !result.URLElement() &&
!node->hasTagName(imgTag)) {
                printf("VSS: setting URLElement\n");
            result.setURLElement(static_cast<Element*>(node));
        }
        node = node->eventParentNode();
    }

>From above, my understanding is, result.innerNode() has URL and we set it
using result.setURLElement().
And then whenever, we check event.isOverLink() we get TRUE/FALSE if we
clicked on link or does not click on link
respectively. But I am not getting where (x,y) co-ordinates comes into
picture to select particular link.

 I am really not able understand how exactly wekit find out URL from the
clicked region. Please somebody help me out guys..


Thanks,
Vivek

You give up to early. Hint: m_innerURLElement's type is RefPtr<Element>.
