I have no perfect cross-browser solution to position html element on
the bottom of the page. I know that with Firefox I do it as: position:fixed; bottom:0px;
However, IE does not understand that. Did anyone come across this issue to share with me?
Soliciting thoughts on the best way to determine the position of a click event.
Here's what I'm using right now but it's not working:
Code:
function getMousePosition(evt)
{
var x, y;
if(evt.pageX)
{
x = evt.pageX;
y = evt.pageY;
} else if (evt.clientX)
{
x = evt.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft - document.body.clientLeft;
y = evt.clientY + document.body.scrollTop - document.body.clientTop;
}
if(document.body.parentElement && document.body.parentElement.clientLeft)
{
var b = document.body.parentElement;
x += b.scrollLeft - b.clientLeft;
y += b.scrollTop - b.clientTop;
}
alert(x + ',' + y);
return [x,y];
}
The coordinates are WAY off in both firefox and IE. Can someone fix this?
I have a floating div that stays at the bottom of the browser window while the user scrolls down a long page. The div reads "scroll down for more". How can I determine the current position of the div in relation to the top of the page, not the top of the browser window. I need to determine this because I would like to hide the div when the user scrolls to the top of the last page. I have looked at offsetParent, offsetHeight, scrollHeight, etc.
I have the code for everything except determining the position of the div, or the distance of the div from the top of the page.

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 need to find the position of an element on the page relative to the browser window. Its part of a popup calendar script (and no, they don't want to change it so please don't suggest jQuery date-picker etc) The script uses these functions [url]... to find the position of the anchor to pop up the calendar next to it.
Now the client wants to make the calendar fixed when the user scrolls so that it always stays on screen. The most graceful solution is using css position:fixed (I'm aware it doesn't work in IE6 - that's not a problem)
I've been using the getAnchorWindowPosition function to get the coordinates but the numbers its giving are wrong (to different degrees depending on the browser) It was only 200px out in the Y axis in Firefox but in IE7&8 its off the screen.
Is there any way to resize an iframe dynamically to the height of its content that works cross browser and works when the iframe content is on another domain than the main page (I have access to both pages, so code can be put in either) Also, it must resize when links in the iframe are clicked (ie when a new page within the iframe is loaded)
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there any way I can stick a footer to the bottom of the browser itself, no matter the size of the browser window, ore whether the user scrolls. Its basically stuck there viewable all the time?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to find x, y location of a layer or an image, or any other item

1. It could be relatively or absolutely positioned.
2. It does not matter what browser the user is using.
what's the correct javascript code?
example: find x, y location of the image "someImage"
<html>
<body>
......... some html here....
<img src="someImage.gif" id="someImage" />
......... some html here....

After 1.5 years of writting my website I installed NS. It's JS works alot different to IE's, so it looks like I've got to write most of my site again!! [img]images/smilies/frown.gif[/img]
NS will only read 1 external JS file, which is abit of a nuisance as my site has a JS file common to site, another for the subfolders of the site, and the page's JS included with the HTML.
I'm trying to put all of common functions into one JS, but some of the functions have large amounts of text assigned to them. I'm trying to import the text using XML sheets as needed, but having a bit of a problem with the line
Code:
xmlDoc.childNodes[i].childNodes[2]
where NS will only read 1 array of childNodes. How do extract xml with NS's JS?
If my audience uses not so old browsers, do I have to use cross browser DOM? If they have IE 5 or later and Netscape 6 or Mozilla 1.0 or later and any version of Opera that is not older than 6 months?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having an extremely hard time finding out how to do this. I'm looking to attach the footer of my site to the bottom of the browser window. The site uses an accordian/slider as it's UI, so the footer needs to "float" above all the content and attach to the bottom of the BROWSER window (not the end of the content), so that when the slider comes down and some of the content is below the bottom of the browser window, the footer remains at the bottom of the browser window, even when the page is scrolled. I'm tearing my hair out trying to find a solution to this issue. Here's the page with the footer as a simple div (it's not even fixed to the bottom with CSS right now because that does no good when the page is scrolled):[URL]

In some pages of my website I use a code like the following:
for (var n = 0; n < getTagsArray("SPAN").length; n++){
//SPAN is just an example. I also use other tags
tag = getTagsArray("SPAN")[n];
//make something with tag...
}
function getTagsArray(Tag){
if(document.all){ //Internet Explorer
return document.all.tags(Tag);
}
else if (document.layers){ //Netscape
eval("return document.tags." + Tag);
}}
I want to put all browser-specific code inside the getTagsArray
function. So far, I've programmed only for Internet Explorer (my
browser), but now I want to make my website visible to all browsers.
I'm not sure about the getTagsArray function. Is it right or is there
a better way to do the same thing? And how can I extend that function
to make it work in other browsers?
Finally, where can I find some information about cross-browser
programming? I have the javascript reference for Internet Explorer and
Netscape, but I know nothing about other browsers.
a lot of the code I have trouble with is events-based, although there are some DOM-navigation problems that I've noticed in IE.
before I launch into a probably fruitless attempt to write an API that corrects IE's DOM-mangling, I'm wondering if someone else may have already invented that particular wheel.
ideally, this would be a script which I simply link to in the head, and then write valid DOM code which automagically works.
onclick="getElementById(Ǝ').style.display='inline'" title="Show Comments">show</a> / <a href="#" onclick="getElementById(Ǝ').style.display='none'" title="Hide Comments">hide</a>
This is a snippet of code from my HTML, and it has been giving me a lot of trouble. It works in IE6 and FireFox, but not in Opera and I can't test other browsers.
What I'm looking to do is make this as cross-browser friendly as possible, which I'm guessing might be able to be done by the way of javascript functions.
The only problem is I don't know any javascript, this is all I know and a quick solution is all I'm looking for.
So maybe, firstly it would be best to ask if it is even possible to achieve this show/hide effect on all browsers, and if not, what options I have?
I need a free cross browser dhtml tab control.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have this JavaScript code that I use to set some html element styles at runtime:

would like to know which is the best WYSIWYG editor you are using for every of your application? I do not actually have any since i'm not in need but I may consider adding one to one of my upcoming project.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am building a webpage that loads information from an XML file. I am using XMLHTTPrequests.
On page load a function populateH(); is called which reads the XML file and populates the HTML(Home) page accordingly. The function uses getData() functions to read and write from the XML file.
The page works properly in FireFox, but the populateH() function doesn't seem to work with other browsers. I have tested my getData() functions in other browsers and it seems to work fine.
(example available at: [url]
My get data function is written as follows:
Code:
And my populateH() function is written as follows:
Code:
I use the XMLHttpRequestObject in the populateH() function to set the nodes to retrieve, and the getData() functions are called in the place functions (placeNews(), placeFriends(), placeLinks()) to write to the HTML document.
I have a website[URL]... that has a car search box functionality which uses an external javascript file to populate the makes and models within the dropdown boxes.
A few weeks ago I realised that it didn't work in safari (initilly I had the populate onload code attached to the submit image), I then moved the code into a inline script tag and it worked but now i've realised it doesn't work in Firefox... I am now thinking of adding a script to determine the browser and dynamically work on adding the populate code depending on the browser but thought it would be a good idea to post on here in case there is an overall much better solution. If you visit the site you will see a working example of the issue.
I'm trying to find a javascript/DOM navigation tree to use in a
web-based content management system, to allow navigation of > 10,000
folders/files.
The javascript (non-DOM) tree we currently use is running too slowly
as it cannot dynamically load in nodes when users select a node to
expand. This is critical for us. The top level of the tree hirarchy
only has 20 or so nodes, but each node might contain up to 1,000
nodes.
So what we need is for the tree to process and display the first tier
(20 nodes) and then only process sub-nodes if the expand icon is
clicked.
Does anyone know whether such a tree exists?
It needs to be compatible with all modern browsers (IE 5+, Netscape
6+, Opera 7+, Konqueror 2+, Safari etc). I've looked at several
different examples, but none of them (AFAIK) appear to be fully
compatible with the above list of browsers.
I am brand-new to javascript, but after reading some tutorials online I
was able to make a dynamic HTML photo gallery in javascript. It works
fine in all browsers except IE6 (big surprise). I've been looking
around online for solutions, but the fixes I have seen don't seem to
work. I assume I am misunderstanding something... I was using
element.setAttribute but have changed my code to avoid that. Here is an
example. IE6 displays the link text but doesn't do anything else--exact
same result I had by using element.setAttribute('name', 'value').
I wanted to know if we have some validator tool available which can validate our jsp code for W3C standards and for cross browser compatibility for browsers like IE, Mozilla, Chrome.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a document with a parent element that has mousedown,mouseup and mousemove events registered to it. The parent element has some child elements as well. I observe inconsistent behaviours between browser types when I hold the mouse button down, move the pointer and release the button.
ie7 - mouseup fires when over a child or parent
op9 - mouseup fires only when over the parent
ff2 - mouseup fires only over a child or parent but only if the pointer has moved since the mousedown occured
