           Summary: document.nodesFromRect() needs to be removed from
                    Document.idl
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: sam at webkit.org


The document.nodesFromRect() function should never have been added to Document.idl since that makes it a web facing API. We should remove it ASAP and instead add WebKit level API as necessary.

For ports that want this functionality exposed, a good place might be on their WebView.

(NOTE: if it is determined that there are good use cases for this feature, we can add it back, prefixed with webkit).
