* I know of pages where all these values would change
according not only to the user's screen size/resolution
and default font size, but also according to how much
of the screen area (width/height) the user is willing to
provide to the *rendering* *component* that displays it,
at that particular instant. (As well as stylesheets that the
user might use to overide the default look of pages, and
a bazillion other things..)
What are these pages? Are they all controlled by you?
Are they all known in advance (e.g. off one site)?

We are doing some other processings, which needs to know the locations
of each tag/item.
Yes, I agree the locations will be based on font size, design, screen
size, etc. We can assume these values are known in advance (or use
whatever default values), and the pages are known (say, saved on disk
already).
Any idea of how to get the location information?

Presumably you render the HTML to a bitmap, discard the HTML and further
process the bitmap.
