385115 - Need a way to determine overflowing width/height for elements

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P5)

Description

[Chris Thomas (CTho) [formerly [e-mail] [e-mail]]]

For bug 378676, I'd like to walk up the DOM tree from an event's target and find the first element that's overflowing, and whether it's overflowing horizontally/vertically/both.

<roc> sounds like you might want some new DOM properties
<CTho> roc: like, an overflowX and overflowY?
<roc> no, like an overflowClientWidth and an overflowHeight (which gives you the padding-rect width and height before 'overflow' is applied)
<roc> overflowWidth
<roc> something like that
