Re: [Htmlparser-user] coordinates of text rendered on browser.

[Third E. <nav...@gm...>]

HTMLParser is not a browser so it is not going to be possible to get
coordinates and positions of elements directly. You may have to write
some addin on top of the parser where you load the output of the
parser into some UI controls and then get the position.

Just curious, is there some specific functionlaity you are looking for
by knowing the coordinates?
