I seem to be having trouble with the following function:
Code:
function getReferenceCoordinates(el)
{
var x=0;
var y=0;
if(el.offsetParent) {
while(el) {
[Code]....
It works okay, but in ie the pixels are off by 2px. Anyone know why?

I have a DIV with hegiht 500 px and overflow:scroll. I have 34000 A tags in it(each new line). Every A tag has its own ID. I want to scroll to these a tags so I need to know their position. How to find these?
View 1 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.
I'm trying to find the position of an element with respect to the view port area. So, when the user scrolls the page down, I want to know the x and y positions of the element with respect to the viewing (view port) area.
The overall goal is to know exactly where on the element this user clicked.
I have the following code:
<style type="text/css">
#toggle {width: 100px; height: 100px}
</style>
[code]....
1). Get the number of pixels from the left side of the hovered-element that the mouse cursor is located, and
2). Set *part* of a CSS attribute to this value
I need to find what control is in some position given.
I mean, if I give the values left: 200px and top 300px I need to know
what control in the page is in that position, or if there is not any.
I'm using offset values to find the x,y position of an iframe on an
html page. The code works in all browsers except in Mac explorer 5.x.
Does anybody have any ideas how to get around this?? Thanks. My code
is below, assuming myFrame is the iframe in question, offsetLeft is the
x coordinate, offsetTop is the y coordinate. For some reason,
offsetParent for the iframe on Mac Explorer is always undefined. Even
stranger, this is only the case for iframe elements. When dealing with
other elements in Mac Explorer 5.x, the code below works fine....
I want to determine the position of each link on a page. I need to know the browser window size, or at least screen resolution. I also need a position in pixels for each link. For example while browsing this page my screen resolution is 1680*1050 and the Blogs link in the menu is positioned at say (100, 120).Is there any consistent way to find this out in the major browsers?Note that the links are just plain links, they don't have the position attribute set in css or anything.I'm thinking about building a script that tracks user click behaviour and it would be tremendously helpful if I didn't need to input say "link Blogs is positioned in area N" to the tracking system.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWas wondering if it's possible to find the left position of a table cell if
the cell is created dynamically.
I have a table with a single cell. When a button is clicked, I'd like to add
another cell to it, give the cell a class style and then find the cell's
left position. Right now I'm using doing this:
cell = document.createElement("td");
cell.appendChild("sometext");
cell.className = "cellStyle";
tableRow = document.getElementById(theTableRowId);
tableRow.appendChild(cell);
How would I get the left position of each cell added?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm really not sure how to go about doing this, so any and all pointers are welcome. What I'd like to do is be able to find the position and width of a word that has been typed inside of a <textarea>, so that I might overlay some absolutely-positioned elements on top, and size them properly. I would really like to be able to do this in the most general case as possible (independent of fonts, font size, size of the textarea, etc.), but as stated any help is welcome.

Hi, i'm creating my own image gallery using jQuery, and there is a set of thumbnails at the bottom. The thumbnails have been put into an array, using jQuery, but what i am trying to do is to return the position of any clicked thumbnail in that array. i.e. when the 3rd thumbnail in the list is clicked, return 3, when the 5th thumbnail is clicked return 5 etc....
This in turn will dictate which item in another array (the main images array) will be displayed.
After retrieving a record from the database and displaying one of its text field in an input-type textbox, I click on a word and it'll store or show the current position of cursor in a variable. I have no success with IE's caretPos.

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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHere's something I'm working on: for a click on a given element, I want to be able capture the x/y coordinates of the mouse -- that is, the mouse coordinates relative to the top left corner of said

So far, here's what I've got:
I'm trying to get the position of a table on a page..
<table id="tab">
by using :
var x = getAbsX(document.getElementById("tab"))
var y = getAbsX(document.getElementById("tab"))
which calls:
function getAbsX(elt) { return (elt.x) ? elt.x : getAbsPos(elt,"Left"); }
function getAbsY(elt) { return (elt.y) ? elt.y : getAbsPos(elt,"Top"); }
function getAbsPos(elt,which) {
iPos = 0;
while (elt != null) {
iPos += elt["offset" + which];
elt = elt.offsetParent;
}
return iPos;
}
but the thing keeps giving me 0's for both x and y in IE but works in
Firefox. Can anyone help?
So I have created a simple calendar [URL] and I have a bunch of "More Info" buttons I made from cells. In a table cell to the right are a bunch of hidden DIV's that all appear when you rollover a "More Info" button, obviously giving more details about the calendar date/event.
My problem is that I have to give an exact "top" css position to every one of these hidden div's every single time I add a new event to the calendar. I want to dynamically tell each hidden div to match the "top" css position to match the top position of each "More Info" button. How do I do that?
I've been trying the find the (x,y) co-ordinates of an element. I've been using;
document.getElementById(element).style.top
document.getElementById(element).style.left
However this doesn't always work in my script. Now, I've googled how to find the position of an element. And come accross many scripts which supposedly all find the position of any object. Some are very long scripts and some are very short all using a variety of methods. Incidently none of which work, they all return (0,0).
