DOMRectReadOnly

This article needs a technical review. How you can help.

Draft
This page is not complete.

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

The DOMRectReadOnly interface specifies the standard properties used by DOMRect to define a rectangle.

Constructor

DOMRectReadOnly()
Defined to create a new DOMRectReadOnly object, but note that this constructor cannot be called by 3rd party JavaScript: doing so returns an "Illegal constructor" typeError.

Methods

DOMRectReadOnly.fromRect
Translates the position/perspective of a DOMRect to a new position. (Doesn't appear to be supported anywhere yet.)

Properties

DOMRectReadOnly.x Read only
The x coordinate of the DOMRect's origin.
DOMRectReadOnly.y Read only
The y coordinate of the DOMRect's origin.
DOMRectReadOnly.width Read only
The width of the DOMRect.
DOMRectReadOnly.height Read only
The height of the DOMRect.
DOMRectReadOnly.top Read only
Returns the top coordinate value of the DOMRect (usually the same as y.)
DOMRectReadOnly.right Read only
Returns the right coordinate value of the DOMRect (usually the same as x + width).
DOMRectReadOnly.bottom Read only
Returns the bottom coordinate value of the DOMRect (usually the same as y + height).
DOMRectReadOnly.left Read only
Returns the left coordinate value of the DOMRect (usually the same as x).

Examples

TBD.
