Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0
Build ID: 20140924083558

Steps to reproduce:


>var e=document.getElementById('svgID1');
>e //show e
<svg id="svgID1" width="300px" height="300px" version="1.1px" preserveAspectRatio="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="44800 266.5 300 300">
>e.getBoundingClientRect();  //show the rectangle




Actual results:

DOMRect { x=-44792.5, y=-202, width=44951, more...}





Expected results:

Here, we can see that x is -44792.5, I thought it should be where the svg element is located. If it is in fact not the right way to get where the element is located, then what is the right way?

Attachment: to show I am not able to get the position of the SVG element.

To show I am not able to get the position information of the SVG element, as I can do for all other html elements.

If the kind of results is right for a svg element, then how do I get the position information as I usually do for other html elements?
