I worry this will break/remove the handle from Workiva-generated documents, which use
position:absolute
on all<div>
within a<table>
but I believe position the<table>
in a specific/non-random place (test).There was a problem hiding this comment.

Yes, it looks like the table has been carefully constructed to ensure that it's position and size matches the rendered content, so in this case if we were to put the handle at the top left of the table, it would work.
We could potentially detect that the table has non-zero size, and show the handle in that case, but we still have the issue that adding
position: relative
may interfere with the layout. In this example, the cell contents are positioned relative to an enclosing<div>
which happens to have the same position as the<table>
element, so addingposition: relative
has no impact. But, an innocuous change like adding a top margin to the table, means that addingposition: relative
breaks the layout because the cell contents are positioned relative to a different location.We could find the minimum top and left positions of all the absolutely positioned children, and put the export handle at that location, although we'd need to take care that the children are actually position relative to the table or some parent.
Elsewhere, we've discussed replacing all highlighting / borders / annotation with constructs that are positioned relative to to the top of the document, but would be a significant change, and would require recalculating positions if the window gets resized.

I saw a link to this blog post over the weekend, which seemed promising:
Looks like Firefox intends to prototype, which is promising.
