I'm trying to apply the "absolute" position to the DOM object for non-IE browsers but Mozilla (or Firefox) does not recognize it. But the top and left position works for the "div" tag though. The IE browser works fine though.[code]...
View 9 RepliesI'm new to javascript and am not sure why this works in firefox and not chrome. I am trying to create a script that keeps an object fixed horizontally while bing positioned absolute vertically. if I replace the toPP variable in document.getElementById('fire').style.top = toPP; with say '50px' it will move the element down 50 pxs, but how I have it currently it doesn't do anything in chrome
<script type="text/javascript" >
window.onscroll = function()
{
if( window.XMLHttpRequest ) {
var x = 0 -document.documentElement.scrollTop;
var toP = String(x);
var toPP = toP + "px";

Before you immediately give me an answer, let me describe fully what I'm trying to do, as it's not as simple as the title suggests.
I need to get the absolute position of a DIV (top and left properties) relative to the viewport/screen.
I've tried using .offsetTop and .offsetLeft, but these return the top and left properties relative to the DIV's immediate parent element, not the viewport (unless of course the DIV is top-level and not contained in any other DIVs).
So, is there any way to retrieve the absolute position of a DIV relative to the viewport, even if that DIV is nested in other DIVs?
Its said that placing the absolute div within a relative div is a best option to correctly achieve the margins within that relative div. However, I'm changing the marginTop and marginLeft via javascript and after some of the changes it shows the absolute divs in incorrect positions in IE.
What i want to do is calculate the vertical-middle right-sided position of text fields in x, y meaning in top and left margins. How can I do that?
I'm having some trouble with absolute positioning:
I have a main div, with some nested divs inside, one of which is "position:absolute". When a user hits a button, a message will appear at the top of the div (by using "myDiv.style.visibility = 'block'"), which pushes all other sections, relative or absolute, down appropriately. This is what i want.
However when the message div is clear (using "myDiv.style.visibility = 'none'"), all the relative divs go back to their original position, but the absolute div stays at its pushed down position.
ive tried several complicated schemes to correct this, including setting the absolute sections top to certain values, and it doesn't want to move back.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem, or of a way to "refresh" a divs position?
I got a script from brothercake which gets the absolute position for an element. Its pretty neat - recursively adding up offsets. I got it from the image transition scripts on his site.
However, this script uses offsetTop, offsetLeft and offsetParent, which dont seem to be supported by FireFox (or maybe I'm doing something wrong).
Here's brothercake's script:
getRealPosition = function()
{
this.pos = (arguments[1] == 'x') ? arguments[0].offsetLeft : arguments[0].offsetTop;
this.tmp = arguments[0].offsetParent;
while(this.tmp != null)
{
this.pos += (arguments[1] == 'x') ? this.tmp.offsetLeft : this.tmp.offsetTop;
this.tmp = this.tmp.offsetParent;
}
return this.pos;
}
It seems to work for Opera and IE - but not FF. Cant say for other browsers. I've come to rely on it for a part of my 'cross-browser' page. Any thoughts on what I can do?
What I can't figure out is why it seems to work fine on brothercake's site - even in FireFox. I'm supposing that the positioning script must be working because the images appear in the right spot.
how can I get the absolute position of a relative element?
We dynamically create a page with multiple segments which are relatively
ordered among each other. In these segments we have input fields.
When such an input field is focused I need it's absolute position.
Is there a way to do so with IE > 6?
I'm using the code below to display a menu that opens when the mouse
goes over the main menu item (try it in your browser to understand the
behaviour).
It uses "position:absolute" and a switch between "display='none'" and
"display=''".
However the problem is that
- in Internet Explorer 6 the dropdown (<select>...) always hides the
menu
- in Mozilla the menu is hidden initially but after clicking on the
text "Select" it isn't hidden.
How does that come and how can I overcome it?
I want the menu to be above the other stuff when it comes up. Code:
I am using position absolute to stick a table header to the top of a div. In the screenshot, under the menu is a div, the buttons and drop downs are at the "top" and grid starts from half way down, now when user scrolls till header is out of view i show the header at the "top" with position absolute. then when user scrolls back down and onto original position the buttons and drop downs are now again at the top exactly at the position where the header was shown, once the header has been shown all the buttons and the drop down are no longer clickable, i.e. there is no reaction, no dropdown shown and no click... whats happening is that IE is thinking that that area at the top where the header was is now invalid, or still occupied by the header or something like that? Its like the buttons and drop downs are kind of "behind" the area where the header was therefore nothing is clickable...
And proof of this is that i gave some <BR> spacing to the buttons and drop downs so that they are not at the up most, but halfway down... and things work fine... whats IE up to? or is there some coding i need to do... below is the code for the header to float
[it may be coz when the header is not to be shown i set the position to ' ', but i have tried with relative, fixed and static as well to no avail...]
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var floating_header = function() {
this.header = document.getElementsByTagName('THEAD')[0].getElementsByTagName('TR')[0];

I have following problem: I get screen coordinates something (which might not be a mouse) and have to convert them relative to an element on a page.
Inside a page it's simple: use the offsets to the parent elements.
On the other side the start are the window.screenX and window.screenY coordinates.
The only problem now is how to find out the offset from the page to the window, i.e. the size of the toolbars and stuff? What might be interesting are the mozInnerScreenX/Y attributes of an window. But these are only present in firefox, obviously, which is not sufficient.
A hack would be a calibration page which uses a mouse event to calculate the missing offset using evt.pageX/Y and evt.screenX/Y. But this might not work, since a mouse might not be present.
I have an image that I'd like to animate to the top right of its containing div (which has position relative).I've used this:
$(".trigger").click(function(){
$("#image").css({'position' : 'absolute'}).animate({
"top": "10px"

How to make a footer for a web that has an absolute position and automatic detect lower part of the screen. Whenever the visitor scroll the page, the footer still there and remain to it's position. Just like a header that has {position: absolute} in css.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have this code for a floating menu - but it starts on an absolute position and then starts to move as you scroll once it reaches a certain distance from the top of the browser, I have seen floating menus that will also stop in a certain spot on the page, even if you continue to scroll the page, can I alter this code to make this menu stop at a certain point on the page?

I think it's popping back and forth between "position: fixed" and "position: static" every other scroll.
This happened before I added the else statement.
A live example is at: [URL]
i would like to know the absolute position of an element (e.g. <LI>) in the browser. i nned to know it in order to place juste beside another element (e.g. submenu).
for example: i have a <li> tag which is at 400px from my browser left border (because it is inside a div which is screen centered). this <li> has a width of 180 px so if i want to know the most left position for my submenu, i should get 400 + 180 = 580 px (from the browser left border).
i tried offset but without success. in fact it returns me 0.
I had askedthis question on another forum but unfortunately I was unable to find a fix. I have a select and drag code that works well until in selection is added a position relative div. Here is the code and you can see a working demo at [URL] To see the problem just mouse select span 1, span 2 and the nested span 4 You can see the code and demo at http://jsbin.com/azeli/2

I managed to get my hover over text pop up to work but now I would like the text box to pop up in the same location relative to the text As you can see here, when you hover over any text not within the first row, it is a bit all over the place. Is there any way making the text pop up the same way it does for the first row for the other rows?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHere is my code:
function executeUntil(end)
{
var i=0 ;
while(i< 100)
{
if(i==end)
break ;
document.write("Javascript is fun");
i++;
}
return(i);
};
(executeUntil(01));
@ runtime, the output is Javascript is fun (obviously).
My question is, how can I apply a CSS style to the document.write output, and how can I make a layer (well I know how to do that, lol), but say that I want the output to appear in that layer to control the appearance of the content? If I can do the latter with the layer, then applying a CSS style is simple.
I have a routine that centers an object. I pass it a string such as "#myid" and it sets the 'left' property based on the width of the object and of the monitor.
Now in theory I could just use <center> tags, but I'm trying to center an object that is positioned using the 'absolute' attribute. It seems that <center> tags have no effect on 'absolute' positioned objects.
(I need the 'absolute' because the screensscroll underneath it). Anyway, I've been told that this is bad practice, and positioning should always be done via css, and never jquery/javascript. But I don't see any other way to do this. Is there one?
My page accepts a url with various parameters passed in querystring. One of the parameter is the URL of the Image I wish to display on the page. I save this URL in a variable "imagesource"
To ensure the image is not bigger than the size permitted, I use image object to get the height and width of the image.
Now here's my code:
function foo(){
......
var imagesource = URL of the image;
....
var newImg = new Image();

I need to get the selection position by js and make sure that this code work for all the browsers.
For example, the user selected this text (red text is selected):
Hello world
The function should return to me array or two values wich they are: 3,9 (start and end position of the selection)
I'm trying to update a plugin i downloaded. What i'm trying to do, is make it able to work with dinamically created objects. I'm using the live function to assing javascript events, but i need to know how to assing a plugin dynamically. This is what i have right now:
$("#txtinstruments").AutoComplete("query"); What this does is apply the AutoComplete plugin, to all the objects with id txtInstruments that are already created but, i create more objects with that id on the fly, and i need to assign the plugin to them.
if I'm using IE only I can get around just fine, but I haven't really had a lot of experience sniffing out other browsers and trying to create different code branches to create the same effect on a particular browser.
In this case I've got a series of layers that correspond to some links. When someone mouses over the link, the layer becomes visible. When someone mouses out, I want the layer to fade out. Code:
When a pending ajax request is aborted in IE browsers there is a new global object called "jQuery" + timestamp, for example "jQuery16405272192696596443".
This happens in every IE from 6 to 9 but not in Chrome, Safari, FireFox in their current stable versions. I am a bit lost and found nothing similar. I created a little test page to determine whether it started due to some own code or just in this little piece.

I have simple table
<table id = "mytable" ....>
....
</table>
I want to get the left position of the table.
Everything I did getting wrong :
mytable.left doesn't work, neither mytable.style.left,
mytable.getAttribute("left") ...
What is the correct syntax for getting the position of the table element
(and others ...) ?
I have a calendar inside a div on my webpage which will show /hide when
user click a button. but the button is almost at the bottom of my
webpage, I am using position :absolute for the div so everytime when
the div shows, it will "drop down" cause the vertical scroll bar
appears on web browser and the user have to scroll down to see the
whole calendar. I was trying to change the div position (e.g if it is
near the bottom of webbrowser then "drop-up") when the div is showing.
My question is How can I know its position is near the bottom of web browser? (how can
I know the height of the browser) How can I change the position of this div?
