HTML elements as such have no coordinates, and the DOM exists in practice only after some program has parsed the HTML and constructed the DOM. Even though you could use non-browser programs to do the parsing and DOM construction, the formatting of a document (in addition to parsing and DOM construction) is the job of a browser. And formatting is needed to allocate coordinates to elements.

Thus, while you can use different programs to do what you are after, they are programs that are normally called browsers.
