since:V1.7

Returns an object that encodes the width, height, left and top positions of the node’s content box, irrespective of the current box model.

Usage

require(["dojo/dom-geometry", "dojo/dom", "dojo/dom-style"], function(domGeom, dom, style){
  var node = dom.byId("someNode");
  var computedStyle = style.getComputedStyle(node);
  var output = domGeom.getContentBox(node, computedStyle);
});

Attributes

Arguments Type Description
node String|DOMNode The node to return the information for
computedStyle Object? This parameter accepts computed styles object. If this parameter is omitted, the function will call dojo/dom-style::getComputedStyle() to get one. It is a better calling dojo/dom-style::getComputedStyle() once, and then passing the reference as an argument, wherever possible.

Examples

require(["dojo/dom-geometry", "dojo/dom", "dojo/dom-style", "dojo/on", "dojo/json", "dojo/domReady!"],
function(domGeom, dom, style, on, JSON){
  on(dom.byId("command"), "click", function(){
    var node = dom.byId("example");
    var computedStyle = style.getComputedStyle(node);
    var output = domGeom.getContentBox(node, computedStyle);
    dom.byId("output").innerHTML = JSON.stringify(output);
  });
