Remarks

This event fires after the positioning information of the IME candidate window has been determined. You can obtain the positioning information using the getCandidateWindowClientRect method, and adjust your layout as needed to avoid any occlusions with the IME candidate window.

Web applications need only register for this event once per element (the handler will remain valid for the lifetime of the element).
