Is there any way in Javascript to find the position of an element relative to the screen rather than the browser viewport? I can't find anything.
Is this possible? The reason I ask is I wish the values to be used in Java, which needs coordinates relative to the screen.
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 busy trying to build an interface where users can create a sort of collage with images that they upload. I know it is possible to get the position of a DHTML element relative to the screen, the problem is I need the coordinates relative to a main div tag so that I can "compile" the collage and then when it gets served it will look the same regardless of screen size.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
What is the best way to get the position of an element relative to the document (accounting for margins as well)?I would like to position another element over it. I'm using the offset() function but i am running into issues 1. The values for top & left returned in IE 8 (perhaps other versions) are incorrect.2. Offset() doesn't take into account margins of the element. And when margins are set to auto i cannot seem to get the correct margin values to use

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an iframe with some javascipt that gets the mouse x and y
position like this:
//inside the iframe's onmousemove call back funciton
xMousePos = window.event.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft;
yMousePos = window.event.clientY + document.body.scrollTop;
This gets the x and y position inside the iframe. But what I want is
the x and y position of the parent window, not the screen like
screenX. Is there any easy way to get parentX and parentY or to get
the offset x and y of the iframe relitive to the parent from inside
the iframe?
How can i find the DIV position (top and left) relative to viewport ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI wonder if you can help? I've implemented a ready made JavaScript vertical toolbar into my Web site but have problems with positioning. It only has by default absolute positioning parameters and I need to change them to relative as whenever the browser is resized the menu stays at the same place on the screen. I was told that using <DIV> tags can help, but I have no idea how to do it.
Can anyone please submit a working example code of asigning relative parameters to the menu?
I want my divs (position: absolute) to be positioned relatively to window size My page is a main table with one cell containing all the rest This cell (anf thus my page) is centered (top and left) Each menu link has onMouseOver which shows (visibility) the corresponding layer (div)
Each visible/invisible layer is positioned on the same spot I use absolute positioning for the divs because some browsers don't support positioning relative to tables My question: is the following code the only solution or am I making my life (slightly) complicated over nothing?
This thing works on NN4, 6 7, IE 4, 5, PC and Mac -- that I know of; repositions divs onResize, with reLoad fix for !#+x°! NN4 I get the window size: Code:
I am trying to make a layer that mimics a particular cell in a table (please dont ask me why, its complicated). I have created the layer so that its dimensions exactly match the table cell in question. Now I want to create a function that sets the top and left position of the layer to exactly match the top and left position of the cell in question. I have already had a try myself, but for the life of me can't quite figure it out.
I tried giving the cell in question and 'id' tag (id="centerCol") and then referencing the left and top values of the object. See the following code:
document.getElementById('layerHeader').style.left = document.getElementById('centerCol').style.left;
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
Have a web app which consists of a form and have it set up to launch a dialog box containing information next to the subject label text field.Everytime, someone fills out the form and clicks on submit, the form's message body (from the text area of the form) is displayed on top and theform is displayed underneath it. Before, I had it set up as fixed (x,y) for the dialog box to appear next to the subject label. But, now, whenthe page becomes longer, the dialog box doesn't appear next to my subject label text field. It is displayed a lot lower.
Here's the code to find the position:
// Finds the position and adds 40px to the left axis.
function findPosition(obj) {
var curleft = curtop = 0;
if (obj.offsetParent) {
[Code]....
How can I set it so my findPosition() calculation doesn't miscalculate when the page is too long (when scroll bars are needed)?
Is there a way to set the relative positioning to always have the dialog appear 40px right of the subject label?
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 display tooltips on my page that appear to the right of form elements. But if the element is too far to the right, the tooltip gets cut off. in that case i would like it to appear to the left.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI made this quick 12sec/600KB screencast to help illustrate what's happening:[URL]...There is a hidden div that contains the fieldset. The slide is applied to the div. In Firefox, the element that has the slideDown/SlideUp effect applied works fine. In IE7, the element just appears, then the elements around it slide (which appears broken)
The fieldset element has a position:relative property (which is needed for fixing CSS bugs on the legend tag)
If I remove the position:relative property, slideUp/slideDown works fine in IE7 (but breaks the legend tag)
Is there a way around this without having to remove the position:relative property?
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 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
When datepicker is used on buttons positioned at the bottom of thescreen it only displays part of the datepicker popup. The default position should be bottom, but if it reaches beyond the end of the screen the position should be above/top. Does anyone know how to control this ?Current code:

$.datepicker.setDefaults({

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a setup where clicking on one of several spots on the screen shows one of the two forms that are hidden by default. I was wondering if there's a way to scroll the screen so this element is visible. Otherwise I can open below the fold and people will not know that something happened. The elements that I click on are not hyperlinks, jut regular divs. I was wondering if there's some method I overlooked that lets me take the page to a specific element.
