i'm sure it is - although it's getting somewhat beyond my
knowledge boundary about webkit, so would be inclined to
suggest that you ask on webkit-dev.

certainly, via the glib bindings, you can do things like ask any
part of the DOM model what its width, height and absolute
positions are.  i know this is possible, because it's needed for
pyjamas, and also i know that such functions exist in javascript

i know that you can get the "text selection", you can get and
set the position of the text-cursor in a textarea or textbox
etc.

what i _don't_ know is how to translate that position into
actual on-screen x,y coordinates.  i feel somehow that it should
be possible.

intriguing.  thanks.  i'll look at it.
