CSSOM and CSSOM View Drafts Updated

Categories: publications

The CSS Working Group has published updated Working Drafts of CSSOM and CSSOM View. The CSSOM specification defines APIs for Media Queries, Selectors, CSS. The CSSOM View Module defines APIs for reading and manipulating the layout, scrolling, window size and position, etc.

Some APIs in CSSOM that have not been widely implemented have been removed; alternative stylesheet APIs, pseudo(), cascadedStyle, etc. In CSSOM View a new API document.scrollingElement is added to help authors avoid relying on which of html or body reflects the viewport for .scrollTop et. al.
Changes since the last Working Draft are listed in the CSSOM Changes section and CSSOM View Changes section.

As always, please send feedback to the (archived) public mailing list www-style@w3.org with the spec code ([cssom] or [cssom-view]) and your comment topic in the subject line. (Alternatively, you can email one of the editors and ask them to forward your comment.)
