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.

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?
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.
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

Is it possible to get the position of an object relative to the document if it's a floating object inside elements?
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 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?

I'm using the following code to get tooltips to appear for elements within my SVG DOM:
function tooltip_event_for_svg_node(svgDoc, nodeID) {
var node_obj = svgDoc.getElementById(nodeID);
$(node_obj).tooltip({
delay: 0,
track: true,
[Code]...
The SVG object is defined as follows:<object id="svg_obj" data="svg_graph.svg" type="image/svg+xml" /> and there are <div> objects which correspond appropriately to each of the href attribute values on the elements within the SVG source (svg_graph.svg). The tooltips show up as expected--except their coordinates are extremely offset up and to the left from the pointer, instead of sitting right and below the pointer as expected. I discovered that when I removed HTML from the page source, this distance shrunk. When I removed everything except the <object> (and the appropriate js) from the HTML, the tooltip was in the right location. When I used tooltip in other (non-SVG) areas of the page, I didn't have this issue.
I'm trying to create a button that floats down the side of the screen. Position:fixed;ostly does what I want it to do, but I'd like the element to only track with scrolling in a certain area (so that it stops below the header, and above the footer). I'm sure this is possible with JS, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it work
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to grab the X/Y co-ordinates of given elements on a page, and scroll to them using the window.scrollTo() method. This is working for standard text boxes (INPUT objects), but for drop down lists (SELECT objects), the JQuery .position() method isn't returning the result object:
var el = $("#[id$=" + elements[i][1]);
if(el.position() && el.position().top) {
var top = el.position().top;
var left = el.position().left;
window.scrollTo(top, left);
break;
}
This works just fine for text boxes, but will not work for selects/drop down boxes. I've stepped through the code and the element el is always populated correctly, so its not the get statements that is at fault. If I inspect the value of el.position().top I get 'null or not an object' and el.position() returns 'undefined'.
Any idea on how to get the coordinates/position of a div element? For example I want to get the coordinates of a particular poll which is placed on my right sidebar.
I tried this, but will not work:
document.getElementById('test').style.left
Must I set the position to relative for the element test?
The snippet below is related to some code that I'm developing that will eventually cause a scrolling DIV (overflow-y:scroll) to scroll to bring a specified element into view. I actually developed the code about a year ago. The code worked under IE6, but does not appear to work under IE7. Is offsetTop still a valid means of getting the position of an element?

I was editing some javascript code yesterday that happened to use jquery. Part of the code selected two elements via jquery. Then the original author used nodeIndex to determine the position of each of these nodes in their parents. I could not find any documentation on nodeIndex on the jQuery site or anywhere else on the internet. It seemed to work in IE8, but I did not see the property from FireBug in FireFox 3.5. So I removed the call to nodeIndex and used a for loop to calculate my own equivalent of the nodeIndex. Is nodeIndex officially supported or meant for internal use? Is it documented anywhere? [URL]
