Finding The Position Of An Element?
Sep 8, 2010I'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).
Finding The Position Of An Anchor
Aug 31, 2005I am trying to dynamically find the position of an anchor on the page. I have a page where you can get to the anchor in the normal way (http://www.mypage.com/index.html#anchorname), but there is a script on that page that adds fields dynamically. This causes IE to lose the place where it was supposed to scroll to (via the anchor).
After the fields are added, I want to rescroll to the location of the anchor. Here is the code that I have running on the page. Code:
Finding Absolute Position
Sep 30, 2005I got a script from brothercake which gets the absolute position for an element. Its pretty neat - recursively adding up offsets. I got it from the image transition scripts on his site.
However, this script uses offsetTop, offsetLeft and offsetParent, which dont seem to be supported by FireFox (or maybe I'm doing something wrong).
Here's brothercake's script:
getRealPosition = function()
{
this.pos = (arguments[1] == 'x') ? arguments[0].offsetLeft : arguments[0].offsetTop;
this.tmp = arguments[0].offsetParent;
while(this.tmp != null)
{
this.pos += (arguments[1] == 'x') ? this.tmp.offsetLeft : this.tmp.offsetTop;
this.tmp = this.tmp.offsetParent;
}
return this.pos;
}
It seems to work for Opera and IE - but not FF. Cant say for other browsers. I've come to rely on it for a part of my 'cross-browser' page. Any thoughts on what I can do?
What I can't figure out is why it seems to work fine on brothercake's site - even in FireFox. I'm supposing that the positioning script must be working because the images appear in the right spot.
Finding Tag Position And Width?
Sep 7, 2010I have generated menus from an XML file. The XML also defines sub menus that are to open when the mouse is over any one of the menus.The menus are div tags with text in them. The location of each is based on the order that they added in and the width of the text with some padding.When the users mouse moves over the menu item it should pop up a sub menu at a relative position to the menu item.How do I get that position and width of the menu the user is over if it has never been set explicitly? Is there a way or not? If not what is the best solution for something like this?

Finding Position Of A RegExp Subexpression
Apr 21, 2006I need to come up with a function
function regExpPos (text, re, parenNum) { ... }
that will return the position within text of RegExp.$parenNum if there
is a match, and -1 otherwise.
For example:
var re = /some(thing|or other)?.*(n(est)(?:ed)?.*(parens) )/
var text = "There were some nesting parens in the test";

should show 17

View 14 Replies View RelatedJQuery :: Finding Surrounding Text At Mouse Position?
Sep 3, 2010I am hoping you can help me. I am finding this problem rather complex to solve. I need to be able to find the surrounding text at the mouse position. For example, if a user clicks on a word in a paragraph, I need to programmatically know what the text is surrounding the click point. The text in question is not just content text, but DOM elements read in as text rather than the DOM element itself. For example, if a user clicks at the word "This" in the following:
<table><tr><td>This is good</td></tr> then I would like to know how to get the text "<td>" just before the "This" as text, not as a DOM element. Furthermore, how can I "enlargen" the scope of my capture, such that I can programmatically get the "<table><tr><td>" part as well as the "is good</td></tr>" part?
Finding The Position Of The Cursor In A Text Box & Rich Formated <textarea>
Feb 16, 2006Question 1
----------------
I am writing an advanced BBCode system for my forums and I would like
to be able to find where the cursor was positioned last in the text so
I could insert the BBCode there.
Question 2
----------------
Again I am writing an advanced BBCode system for my forums and I would
like to make is so that when someone puts in a [b] tag it goes bold, so
kind of a WYSIWYG editor and also for other things like [img] tags and
[url] tags. So could someone tell me how to do that. I would preferably
like it to still use the textarea tag, or at least a form component so
my existing code works.

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).

Finding The Height Of A Div
Apr 4, 2006I want to be able to find the height of a div in pixels without defining it in JavaScript. The Div needs to be able to have whatever content in it is required, and it will change without a refresh. I have no idea what could possibly do this, I was hoping somebody with more experience with JavaScript could help me :D
It also really needs to be at least Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera proof.

Finding User Login ID
Jul 23, 2005I'm trying to make some changes to the Javascript portion of our
corporate intranet site and I'm trying to find if theres a way to find
the User's login id from a Javascript function?
If not, is there a way to run a 'echo %USERNAME%' from DOS command
window and obtain the output. I realize there's an inherent security
risk if Javascript were to allow that.
Am I barking on a completely wrong tree, is NTLM authentication what I
should be looking at?
Basically, I need to get the user id without the user having to supply
it on the page manually. Can this be automated?

Finding And Replacing A Line
Jun 4, 2006Say I have some CSS, which is several hundred lines long, with the
contents in this format:
..foo {
blah
color:#000;
blah
}
..bar {
blah
color:#FFF;
}
where the selectors and their opening braces, their closing braces, and
declarations are each on their own lines (always), how can I replace a
specific declaration (line) given a unique selector and a declaration
property. For example, if I wanted the 'color' declaration property line
in the 'bar' class changed.
At the moment I'm iterating through the CSS one line at a time looking
for the selector and then looking for the declaration property (before I
hit the closing brace).
