112093 - Computed style getPropertyCSSValue() bustage/regression

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 109523

(Core :: DOM: CSS Object Model, defect)

Description

[Mike Gratton]

Somewhere between 0.9.5 and builds up to at least 20011126xx, calling
getPropertyCSSValue() on a computed style object has regressed. Previously, the
call returned a valid CSSValue, but now it throws an unimplemented exception.

See the page in the URL field for a basic test case.

I can probably provide more debug if needed.

This is occuring on Linux/2001112308 and Windows/2001112603

bz?

Yep.  You're getting "top" for a statically positioned element which is indeed
not implemented at the moment (mostly because when I reimplemented all the
positioning property stuff to actually do more-or-less-correct calculations
there was some disagreement as to what the positioning properties should do for
statically positioned elements).

dup of "Implement getComputedStyle for non-computed values"

bz, just to clarify: when you reimplemented the positioning property stuff, it
broke getting the position properties (top, left, etc) for some, or all elements?

Note that it *was* working in 0.9.5.

Just for statically positioned (non-positioned) elements.  Relative, absolute,
and static position work fine (better in fact).  And bug 109523 _does_ have a
patch to stop throwing those exceptions... :)
