Denoting Current Position In Doc Without Using ID Attribute?

Nov 1, 2002

I was wondering, let say I have the following HTML fragment:

<b>this is some text<b>
<span>This is some more text<span>

<script>
//my script here
</script>

and inside the script above, I wish to gain access to the elements and text above. Is it possible to do so without having to explicitly denote an ID attribute somewhere to use as the starting pointing? Something like:

currentposition.previousSibling //should return <span> tag

Get Position Of Current Click?

Aug 9, 2010

I thought this would be pretty easy, but a Google search on it had a bunch of advanced things. I simply want to have an event response on a anchor tag that returns the position of the cursor onClick.

So:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="position()">here</a>

Where, when you click "here", you alert the position of the cursor (using screenX an screenY, if I read it right). But I'm seeing things about registering events to the .document, etc., but no easy solutions. The ones that look easy say that you need to "pass the event" through the function, but they never say how.

Apply Selected Attribute To Current Select Box Item

Feb 9, 2010

I've created the simple select box below that will "onchange" when an item is selected. I'm trying to apply the "selected" or "selected="selected" attribute to items that are chosen from the menu. Example: The goal is to show " <option value="/1" selected="selected"> " when page "/1" is chosen and to show <option value="/1"> when /1 is not the current page. I've follow a few simple tutorials with no luck and even tried php conditionals to trigger the "selected" attribute with no luck.

<form name="guideform" method="get">
<select class="wptdb_jumpbar_select" name="mymenu" onChange="window.location=document.guideform.mymenu.options[document.guideform.mymenu.selectedIndex].value">
<option value="/1">Home Page #1</option>
<option value="/2">Home Page #2</option>
<option value="/3">Home Page #3</option>
<option value="/4">Home Page #4</option>
</select>
</form>

Inserting Text Into A Div At The Current Cursor Position?

Sep 9, 2009

In IE it is a simple matter of: range.text += text; but I am having great difficulty figuring it out for FF.I have looked online for hours but the only solutions that I can find are to do with inserting text into textareas which supply you with nice 'selectionStart', 'selectionEnd' properties. Using a textarea would be useless for my purposes and a div element does not have such properties. An implementation in this case I am thinking would rely solely on the range object for the necesary selection / cursor position information, but I cannot figure out how to do this using the FF/W3C Range object.What I'm basically doing is trying to enable the user to paste unformatted (plain) text into a contenteditable zone for a WYSIWYG editor. I have got it working in IE, but FF is a whole other kettle of fish for this particular issue.

SetTimeout - Need To Check The Timer's Current Position

Sep 12, 2006

I have a situation with setTimeout where I need to check the number of milliseconds remaining so that the program logic can decide whether to follow through with the operation or delay it a few more seconds.

Pretty much this is used to reduce lag on the user's end so that if they are in the middle of typing it won't execute the timed function unless they have stopped typing for a few seconds, making it safe to perform the operation (in the background) without interfering with their user experience.

In any event, there doesn't seem to be a native way to check the current progress or remaining millisecond count on a setTimeout. That is, unless I just haven't been able to find it.

JQuery :: Setting 'class' Attribute In Bulk Attribute Syntax Without Quotes Breaks IE/Opera?

Jan 20, 2010

i have found a possible bug in 1.4 but it's only in Internet Explorer 7 & 8.The following code does not work and completely ruins every peice of jquery on the page (that means everything inside $(document).ready and anyting else...

$("<div/>",{
id: 'tooltip-'+rand,
class: 'dock-tooltip',

[code]....

I cant see any syntax errors - i pulled the example from the 1.4 site. There is no trailing commas in the object notation and i really cant see any reason it would work in firefox and not IEx and more to the point not only not work in IEx but break any other jquery in the entire page....

JQuery :: Css Attribute Selectors No Longer Work With The '$' In The Attribute Value As Of 1.5+

Mar 4, 2011

I'm working with a large (and unweildy) ASP.NET application, and there is a lot of jQuery code that uses selectors like this:

[name=_aspnetControl$_withASubControl] And unfortunately, some selectors that also look like this:

[name^=_someAspNetControl$_radioButtonList].

In other words, the effort to remove the $ from the attribute selectors would be monumental. If it is possible to escape the $ symbols, I can do that easily enough, but unfortunately the situation right now means that I can't upgrade to jQuery 1.5.

Difference Between Empty Attribute And Undefined Attribute

Apr 24, 2007

I'll trying to tell the difference between the following three cases:

<img alt="text string" />
<img alt="" />
<img />

I can do this in Firefox with the following code, where elem is the
HTMLElement representing each image, but IE doesn't seem to
differentiate between empty string and undefined.

var alt = elem.getAttribute('alt');
alt = (alt) ? alt : ((alt===null) ? 'really_null' : "");

The desired output from running this code on the 3 tags above is:

text string

really_null

It seems like this should be really easy...but I'm having a really
difficult time trying to figure out what's going on...

Resolved With Google Chrome (position:fixed Horizontal Position:absolute Vert?

May 13, 2010

I'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";

JQuery :: Set Background Position To Position Of Parent

Aug 11, 2009

#navigation li is the parent element, which is positioned relative.The ul element above that is also position relative. I previously tested a click function and was able to confirm I was getting the correct position back, so now I just need to set the CSS property correctly for all of those links.The reason I want to do this is I have a set of links that appear over a photo of a city skyline. When you hover over those items, I want them to be given a background image that is a blurred and lightened version of the same photo so it needs to line up (sort of like the tabs are made of frosted glass).
