Notes

1. The returned object lacks width and height properties.

2. Returns incorrect values for elements which have had CSS transforms applied to them.

3. The returned object cannot have new properties added to it; it's not extensible.

4. Existing properties of the returned object are immutable.

5. The returned object lacks x & y values, though existing top & left values can be used instead.

Bugs

• In IE<=11, calling getBoundingClientRect on an element outside of the DOM throws an unspecified error instead of returning a 0x0 DOMRect. See IE bug #829392.

• Really old versions of Safari and Chrome gave incorrect results for SVG elements. See Chromium issue #47998.

• Safari and Chrome give incorrect results for elements that have the nonstandard zoom CSS property applied to them. See WebKit bug #77998.
