It seems it's impossible to get a css style position from an external style sheet with JS, no?
<p id="testParagraph"></p>
if external css was:
p {
position: relative;
left: 20px;
}
apparently js cannot get
document.getElementById("testParagraph").style.left;
It seems it must be set as an inline css in the html or set by js explicitly in order to return the value. I don't get WHY it doesn't work.
I have found a solution for showing an element on page load (it should be hidden if JS is blocked), but the CSS and the JS go into the <head>. I prefer to keep all such code in external files, so how do I adapt it to support that approach? Found code is as follows (if it can be improved on, feel free to say so):
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<style type="text/css">#myDiv {display: block;}</style>');
</script>
I would like to change the color of an external style sheet rule using .css method of jquery is this possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a reusable JavaScript library which needs to set certain styles in a document. The document may have an existing stylesheet definition either by a link or by an existing stylesheet declaration in the documents head section.
How can I use JavaScript to append my own style sheet information to a possibly already existing stylesheet definition?
Is it possible to do something like this: On a site there is a link that says "Darken Page".Upon clicking the link, the background color turns black.The link then changes to "Brighten things up"So just a style sheet switcher, but with one link and changes
View 2 Replies View RelatedI got some divs with IDs which I position via css in an external file.So I got something like this on the html-site:
<div id="i1" onclick="move(1)"></div>
In the css-sheet there ist something like this:
#i1 {position:absolute; left:193; top:47; height: 20; width: 20; background-color: #369e1c;}
Everything is positioned as I want it, but I want to read out the position of the div (to position something else), but getElementById somehow doesn't work. It all worked well, when the css was directly in the page, but it won't if it's in an external file.Basically I do something like this:
function move(where){
var ids = "i" + where;
var newtop = document.getElementById(ids).style.left;[code].....
how can i use javascript to detect the current date to select css style
sheet so that the color style of the site is different every day like
wired dot c0m?
I have a script that works perfectly on a live site that basically has a menu that reveals a hidden DIV and when you click a link, and then when you click a new link it hides the previous div and reaveals the new one. It is as follows:
Javascript Code:
Original - javascript Code
LastLayer = "nothing"; // the first div/layer
function openObject(theLayer){
// pass the name of the layer you want to bring to the top
// Then hide the last layer, and make the layer passed visible. This could have been done using the z-index property
if (document.getElementById) { // if it's IE5 or NS6 use this syntax to access the visiblity attribute
eval("document.getElementById(LastLayer).style.visibility = 'hidden'")
eval("document.getElementById(theLayer).style.visibility = 'visible'")
LastLayer = theLayer;
}
if(document.layers) { // if it's NS4 use this syntax to access the visiblity attribute
eval('document.layers[LastLayer].visibility = "hidden"')
eval('document.layers[theLayer].visibility = "visible"')
LastLayer = theLayer;
} .....
Now I am redesigning the site to work with a new style sheet, (There wasn't one before, it was all inline styles. Anyway, it broke my script. The CSS has a class that gives certain DIV's visibility attribute the 'hidden' value by default. I was planning on using the above script to reveal/hide them, but it does nothing. Here is the CSS that affects the divs I am referring to.
CSS Code:
Original - css Code
.job {
border: thin solid #000000;
float: right;
margin-right: 25px;
padding-left: 10px;
width: 40%;
display: none;
}
.job { border: thin solid #000000; float: right; margin-right: 25px; padding-left: 10px; width: 40%; display: none;}
As you can see there is nothing fancy in the css that would cause any concern.
I would like to create a function that will change the colour of a button when clicked then change it back at the end of the function. It works by capturing the backgroun color an then storing it as a variable. However it refuses to capture the original background color if the style is set via an external CSS style sheet. It only works if i set the style via the element markup. Am i doing something wrong and is there any way of capturing the style set by a external stylesheet?
Code:
function myFunction(el)
{

I'm new to JavaScript, I just finished some basic things, like getAttribute, setAttribute, getElementByID etc. I understand that inline javascript isn't the best way to go, and all the JavaScript should go on an external JS file. I also know that you should be able to downgrade gracefully, allowing people whose browser do not/blocked javascript to still use the site. So I just want to do a simple go back function in an external javascript, however it's not exactly working.

I am using the stylesheet switcher on dynamic drive . Is there a way to change stylesheets based on a querystring parameter? Basically, if the query string includes "&StyleSheet=BlueStyle" then call and set the BlueStyle.css and cookie on page load.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi've designed a site using firefox as my primary browser. (note: i'm on an old mac so limited to only what i can run on 10.2.8) i tweaked it for safari, and then took the stuff on a jump drive to the library and tweaked it for IE6 on a pc.
what i need to do now is either hack the CSS for safari and ie (and eventually others once i get some feedback); or, use javascript to load the correct style sheet.
i've just spent two days--thursday and today since since 10 a.m.--trying to figure out first the js, and then the hack methods to no avail. (well, more, really over the past few weeks, but the two-day immersion has me totally fried.)
i'm reached the point where time is extremely critical. once i get this out in an acceptable form, i can spend more time on the learning curve.
here is the document head code:
I thought I'd try to begin with the accordion and tab, but I have had no success yet. I must be missing something simple. Here is the first test page:[code]Instead of getting tabs, I get my pages (generated by cgi perl scripts) displayed in tiny little scrollboxes at the top left.Equally bad, Firefox is telling me, in the error console, that jQuery.Tabs is undefined.FireFox doesn't like the filter and zoom properties in your style sheet.So, then, what do I need to do to get the tabs to work in the first instance. And then, how do I modify it to use an Accordion to display the same material. Are there any issues I need to be aware of when I start having my perl scripts (using predominantly the Perl packagesCGI and CGI::Session)create these pages?As far as possible, I am trying to keep this all valid HTML5, so that I can eventually make this interface mobile device friendly.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI find I often have to change links in templates. I work for someone who is always wanting to alter their links. Is it possible to create a global template, or "master document" to link to as you would in a style sheet? This is what I want to do: Have 1 document that contains links. When I make changes to this document, all links on all pages would change also.

This works fine when I place this code under the html in the main source, but if I try to add this Jquery code to an external js sheet it doesnt seem to work?
Currently my js sheet is called in the header, when I move this link to the footer of my page the code works again, so Im guessing this has something to do with where the jquery code is placed in relation to the code Im trying to hide?

It's possible to style document.body not to start at 0,0 for example: body {width: 1000px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;} This means that X/Y of the body is not 0,0 but how can I find out what the position is using javascript? document.body.offsetLeft; is 0 and offsetParent is null yet if I position something absolutely at 0,0 it goes to 0,0 of the window, not the body!
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I use document.getElementsByTagName('style')[0].sheet in Firefox or Opera, it returns the CSSStyleSheet object. However, IE6 returns nothing. So I was wondering if there's a property in IE that works the same as the .sheet property.
var stylesheet = document.getElementsByTagName('style')[0].sheet;
alert(stylesheet.cssRules.length); // 34
My understanding had been that $.css("width") would return the original user selected style, eg "100%" or "10em", and $.width() returned the computed width, always in "px". Not so, following the code through for .css(), it calls something called getComputedStyle and the only difference between the two functions turns out to be a post-fix of "px" on the .css() result - not very useful. I need to know whether my user has called me with a proportional dimension, or a fixed one. How to tell with jQuery?
