IE8: dojo.coords offset off by 2px issue

Description

Investigating DOH failures with IE8, one is with dojo.coords() on an absolute positioned image. Simplified test case derived from DOH test page attached.

It seems like in dojo._base.html, the dojo._getIeDocumentElementOffset() no longer returns a top, left offset of 2, so the reported numbers for the x and y of the absolute positioned element come back as 102 instead of 100.

I think I've fixed this plus did some cleanup, in [15730] and [15731].

Hmm, for IE8 standards mode, the attached test file still reports 102 and 102 for the x, y coordinates.

Comparing document.documentElement.offsetWidth vs. window.offsetWidth gives a difference of 4 pxs, so I can see where half of that might be used to get the 2px difference. Same with the offsetTop properties. Not sure I like relying on window. Maybe that is the way to go, still need to consider more.

So I think IE8 still needs to go through getIeDocumentElementOffset() too, and this offset calculated, btw. Need to also consider how RTL might be affected.

You are right.... I checked in some code for IE8 in [15776], it seems to work in both strict and quirks mode.

It takes into account a margin setting on <html> (admittedly, that has no purpose, but our test case does it), and the scroll of the browser window.

The attached htmlie2.html test file (renders in IE8 standards mode) still reports x and y as 102 instead of 100, so I think there is still some work to be done related to the offset. I am going to try to reduce the test case to plain JS and see if I can ask Microsoft about it.

(In [16485]) Fixes #8047: IE8rc1 is much better now, and we do not need an offset calculation for nodes. There is still an issue with rtl direction and the offsetLeft, but will open a separate bug on that, but I believe it is Microsoft's to fix, it is a strange negative number. \!strict
