[patch][ccla]IFrame relative offset problem in dojo.coords()

Description (last modified by )
It seems that when I want to use/draw a widget inside an IFrame Dojo (version 0.9.0) does not take into account the relative position of the IFrame in the parent page. This causes popups like Tooltips to appear outside of the IFrame. This testcase should demonstrate the behaviour:
<html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript'
djConfig=' isDebug: true, usePlainJson: true' src='dojo/dojo.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
dojo.addOnLoad(function init() {
window.frames["frm"].document.write("<html><body><div id='tip0'>hover</div></body></html>");
var id = window.frames["frm"].document.getElementById('tip0');
var c = dojo.coords(id);
console.log("x: " + c["x"] + " y: " + c["y"]);
});
</script>
</head>
<body class="tundra">
<iframe name="frm" id="frm" width="300" height="300" frameborder="0"
scrolling="yes" style="position:absolute;left:200px;top:200px;"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
The (x,y) coordinates of the element should take into account the IFrame offset.
Thank you!

I am just curious if there is an expected fix date or release version in which this will be included? Thanks and happy new year!

This is needed for an IBM product that will be using Dojo 1.1.
IBM reference # 78238.
I especially wanted to make sure that this scenario is supported by Dojo.

See #5803 which may be a pre-req to this ticket.

After applying the patch, I succesfully tested the test4782.html file using WinXP on the following:
FF2.0.0.12, FF3.0beta4, IE6, IE7, Opera9.26, Safari3.0.4

possible fix - please review for inclusion in 1.1 - added optional includeFrame parameter to dojo.coords (to prevent breaking existing users) to compute absolute coordinates relative to document root instead of just to the nearest iframe (refreshed)

Move all milestone 1.1 tickets to 1.2, except for reopened tickets and tickets opened after 1.1RC1 was released.

Perhaps this patch fixes the relative offset problem, but tooltips still do not correctly appear inside the IFrame, as demonstrated here:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
@import "dijit/themes/tundra/tundra.css";
@import "dojo/resources/dojo.css"
</style>
<script type='text/javascript'
djConfig='isDebug: true, usePlainJson: true' src='dojo/dojo.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
dojo.require("dijit.Tooltip");
dojo.addOnLoad(function init() {
window.frames["frm"].document.write("<html><body><div id='tip0'>hover</div></body></html>");
var id = window.frames["frm"].document.getElementById('tip0');
var c = dojo.coords(id);
console.log("x: " + c["x"] + " y: " + c["y"]);
dojo.doc = window.frames["frm"].document; // HACK
var tip0 = new dijit.Tooltip({label:"programmatically created tooltip", connectId:["tip0"]});
dojo.doc = document; // ENDHACK
});
</script>
</head>
<body class="tundra">
<iframe name="frm" id="frm" width="300" height="300" frameborder="0"
scrolling="yes" style="position:absolute;left:200px;top:200px;"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
It seems like all the widgets would need to be updated to use Doug's patch? Perhaps a new bug should be opened for this...

I'm beginning to think that instead of going all the way back to the root window, the default behavior should go back until the "dojo" window is encountered by default (in case that dojo is loaded in an iframe). Instead of a optional third parameter being boolean, it could be a window reference to stop on if the default is not desired. I'll code this up to see if it behaves better and w/o changing existing uses of dojo.coords.
comment:12 Changed 12 years ago by
that is basically what I implemented in dojo.html.getAbsolutePositionExt for dojo 0.4
see http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/browser/trunk/src/html/util.js#L49

Is this still relevant?
comment:17 Changed 7 years ago by
Yes. It is still relevant.
I try to put the tooltip into dijit Editor. The tooltip goes out of the Editor. Apparently the positioning algorithm is incorrect in this case.

Nobody is assigned to this, waiting for soemone to step in pushing this back to a future release.
comment:21 Changed 6 years ago by
I'd love to see this feature implemented for dom-geometry.position. I have a custom editor that uses an iframe to separate styles and application logic.
comment:23 Changed 6 years ago by
wshager, if you care to update the patch against master and do a pull request, we'll review for 1.11 (we're only a couple of weeks out from 1.10 and it's probably too late for that release)
comment:24 Changed 6 years ago by
Why is it too late when there's stuff to fix? I guess I just don't understand release cycles...
comment:25 Changed 6 years ago by
| Milestone: | future → 1.10 |
|---|
Mostly based on the number of open tickets that have patches that need to be reviewed prior to our planned release date. That and no activity on it for 6 years until now. :)
If you have a patch by the end of the weekend, I'll look at it in time for the 1.10 release.
comment:27 Changed 6 years ago by
I realize this patch would not be backwards-compatible with any previous solutions of calculating the iframe offset, so there should probably be an extra argument for position.

comment:29 Changed 6 years ago by
Sorry, I might have been too eager to supply a patch. The win.global check will fail when the context is set to the iframe. Also, I have some doubts now if the extra code is worth the small gain.
comment:30 Changed 6 years ago by
| Milestone: | 1.10 → 1.11 |
|---|
Ok, I think we'll need to delay this one to 1.11. I will look at it after we get the higher priority 1.10 items finished, assuming you want to refine your patch @wshager.
comment:31 Changed 6 years ago by
I think the solution is quite simple: if we added some positionRelativeTo helper function, one of the targets could be the iframe. Considering this, I have no clue what the guidelines for such helper functions in dojo are. Can I just suggest away or is there some guidelines document? I have the impression you don't want functions to expand ad infinitum...
comment:32 Changed 5 years ago by
Any update on this? I'm in the same predicament again. Considering the patch: since win.global is deprecated, what's the step?
comment:34 Changed 4 years ago by
I would suggest we put the proposed patch into a PR, and let people give feedback. It's basically being ignored here unfortunately.
comment:35 Changed 4 years ago by
I wouldn't mind creating a patch, but I had some questions that haven't been answered yet. I don't think I have the kind of insight into Dojo that I can provide a patch that simply works for all cases. Anyway, the questions where:
- what to use instead of win.global?
- where to put a helper function to calculate a relative position (e.g. to the iframe)?
- should there even be a helper function? is the extra code worth the small gain?
You could also settle for a solution where the developer takes relative position into account.
Also note that the patch in the ticket is NOT the definitive solution.

Ok, I'm going to punt for 1.12, and then we can try to work on a patch together @wshager.

Ticket planning... move current 1.13 tickets out to 1.15 to make it easier to move tickets into the 1.13 milestone.
any progress on this?
