Hi,
In here http://webkit.org/blog/114/webcore-rendering-i-the-basics/, it
talks about DOM tree and Render tree.
Can you please tell me does it mean for each DOM element,
* there will be a Render Object (1-to-1 mapping)?
What about invisible
element? e.g. <input type=hidden>
A node can have 0-n renderers.
0 = the node is display:none or not in the main document's subtree
1 = the common case
2-n = the renderer has continuations (a split inline like a <b> or
<i>).
* does each DOM element will have it unique Render object (i.e. no 2
different element type will be represented by the same render object
type)? e.g. LI, OL will have their own Render objects?
No. Many different HTML elements map to the same renderers by
default. CSS display most commonly controls what kind of renderer you
get, so the same kind of DOM element can even have different types of
renderers depending on what CSS has specified.
