Non-standard: This feature is not standardized. We do not recommend using non-standard features in production, as they have limited browser support, and may change or be removed. However, they can be a suitable alternative in specific cases where no standard option exists.

Given a WebKitPoint specified in the page's coordinate system, the Window method webkitConvertPointFromPageToNode() returns a Point object specifying the same location in the coordinate system of the specified DOM Node.

Warning: Please review the Browser compatibility section before using this method, as it's not widely supported (nor is the WebKitPoint object it uses).

Parameters

node

The Node into whose coordinate system the point is to be converted.

pagePoint

A WebKitPoint object specifying a point in the coordinate system of the page, which is to be converted into the node's coordinate system.

Return value

A Point object describing the specified location in the node's coordinate system.

Specifications

This method was specified in the defunct 20 March 2009 Working Draft of CSS 2D Transforms Module Level 3. It is not present in the current CSS Transforms Module Level 1 Working Draft.
