Floating Layer - While Scrolling - The Layer Flickers Continuously
Jan 30, 2009
I have created a floating layer using Javascript that remains always on top of page on scrolling.Issue is,at some point while scrolling,the layer flickers continuously.
The html page is as follows:
Many common software systems, JavaScript has a history of security problems. Many of these problems could allow a person with malevolent intent to steal sensitive information from a visitor. The number and type of such holes in security vary among browsers and operating system versions. Most JavaScript security holes have been caught and fixed, but new ones are being discovered all the time. For a list of current security holes check out your browser's and operating system's Web pages. As a Web site author, it is your responsibility to keep up-to-date on the current status of known security holes in the applications you create.
Signing Scripts. In Chapter 11, I explained that JavaScript does not provide the ability to directly access files on the client computer. This can be a very large hurdle to overcome if you're trying to upload a file to a server from the client computer. Fortunately, file uploading is one of many functional enhancements that signed scripts provide. Signed scripts are specially packaged scripts that have been verified and signed to be correct and non-threatening. These scripts have additional rights on the client computer that allow a programmer to do many things that he wouldn't otherwise be able to.
With the introduction of Netscape 4.0, a new security model was put in place that would allow digitally signed scripts to bypass some of the restrictions that had previously been placed on them. A signed script can request expanded privileges from the visitor and, with the visitor's permission, gain access to restricted data. A signed script requests these additional permissions through LiveConnect, which allows your JavaScript code to communicate with the Java Capabilities API. The security model allows JavaScript to access certain classes in Java in order to extend its functionality while still maintaining tight security for the client.
A digital signature is a fingerprint of the original programmer, and it allows the security model of the browser to detect where (or from whom) it originated. A script signer can be a person or an organization. By signing a script, you acknowledge yourself as the author and accept responsibility for the program's actions. A signed script contains a cryptographic checksum, which is just a special value that ensures the signed script has not been changed. When a digital signature is detected, you are assured that the code has not been tampered with since the programmer signed it.
Once you finish writing a script, you can use the Netscape Signing Tool to digitally sign it. Signing a script does the following:
Unambiguously assigns ownership of the script to a person or organization.
Allows an HTML page to use multiple signed scripts.
Places the signed script into a Java Archive (JAR) file.
Places the source of the script in the JAR file.
Once a user confirms the origin of the script and is assured that it has not been tampered with since its signing, he or she can then decide whether to grant the privileges requested by the script based on the validated identity of the certificate owner and validated integrity of the script.
JAVASCRIPT FILE IS AS FOLLOWS:
AND CSS FILE IS AS FOLLOWS:
At some point while scrolling,the div 'movable' flickers continuously,while at some other point,it is perfectly stable.
I currently have a floating layer that appears when someone puts the cursor on an image (information about the image appears in a table format). The cursor moves down the page as you scroll, however, it would be better if the layer would be attached to the cursor. Better positioning. I have asked for help coding this and got a variety of answers, none of which have worked. I would not mind a tooltip, if the tooltip could be formatted to contain a table with text. The only tooltip code I found does not allow the tooltip to be formatted in any way.
My preference would be a layer as used in Dreamweaver that would appear next to the cursor when the cursor is placed on a photo.
I am using JavaScript to show/hide a floating div layer. The code i have works perfectly in Google Chrome but will not display at all in Internet Explorer.

I uploaded this code for a floating layer on my website - works really really well, the only problem is - I forgot what the code means. The floating layer is positioned in the center of the screen and I now want to move it to the far left of the screen. How do I adjust the code to do that?? Sorry for the dumb question, but it's been years...someone highlight the section of the code related to the screen position, how to adjust the position?
I want a scrolling JS layer (not CSS) am trying to fit it into an already existing site design which the client doesn't want to change. It works fine when i try it on a new page but the moment I put it into my actual page where it has to fit into a particular are (I used the overflow: hidden it doesn't behave!!
As the function loops a new line is added to the contents of the layer. When the content is more than the height of the layer the scroll bars appear. This is fine, but what i want to be able to do is get the function to automatically scroll to the bottom of the content so the last line is always visible. Any ideas how i could do this?
Im looking for an advise on where to begin with something I need to accomplish using JavaScript/Ajax on classic ASP platform.
I need to add a floating menu like layer to the site that contains user selected information from the page. So for example, a page has blocks of information organized in a tabular fashion - a lots of them. Each block has a heading containing a check box. This check box serves as a marker that picks the particular item. When the pick is made, a floating status layer is updated with the pick. In this floating layer there is also a submit button that can be click when the user is done with selection.
There is page I've come across that has something similar to what I need to accomplish but I don't know what technology is used. If you go to this site [url] you'll see in the middle of the page several blocks of different items each with green heading titled "Add to request list" containing a check box. As soon as you click the check boxes a separate area called "Your Request List" is populated with some data.
I am trying to make a banner the size of the with of my screeen, in a layer.
BUt I also want to fade it to a complete transperency to reveal the contents of what's behind it (my page ofcourse) and possible close or hide the faded layer.
I've seen stuff like that happen in a flash everonment. I was thinking about using a transition at first to go from one page to another with an introductory page.
But I rather have everything on one page and just fade the introdutory layer into the page. Is that too much work for jscript?
I have a strange behaviour when applying onmouseout to a layer. it is not trigged when the pointer goes out of the _layer_ but when it goes off the _text within_ the layer.
I want to create a layer that 100% wide, 200 px high and stays at the bottom of the screen, even when the page is scrolled, how do I do this? I have seen it on websites but can't find any example code ...
I have written a javascript routine that populates a parent document with a series of <iframe>s. Each <iframe> receives its contents from a series of separate smaller HTML files. Of course my NN 4.8 browser doesn't deal well with the <iframe> so I wrapped the code that generates the <iframe> in <ilayer> tags. NN now recognizes the contents.
However within each of the 'content' files I have another javascript routine that basically displays the file name (via document.URL & document.write) of the content file. My IE 5.5 & Mozilla 1.5 understands this perfectly. However my NN responds to the document.URL with the wrapper/parent document's URL, not it's own unique file name.
I've named/ID'd the iframes & ilayers. If the document.URL fails I can still make use of the ilayer ID but I need to know the index into the layers array. I can hard-code a index value into the document.layers[x].name but given that the position of the particular content file is dynamic within the parent, the index is going to be wrong 9 out of 10 times. There doesn't seem to any way for an i/layer to know who it is Code:
I've got a web page which uses lots of divs to position the content of the page and I'm using a nice javascript to alter the css of a table of links. The thing is I don't want the table of links to point to an external site but to calla function which will replace the content of a layer... perhaps it's be better if I showed you the code:
I was wondering if it was possible (and if so how) to put a layer ontop of frames. What I mean is that I would be able to put anything, including tables ontop of frames so that it could go ontop of two frames at once, independent of everything else.
Also if it is possible, how would I make it stay still, evenwhen the page is scrolled... like so that it doesn't even giggle or anything it stays fixed..
Also, on another subject how would i make it appear next to the top right hand corner of a cell in a table?
Can someone help me figure out how to show a hidden layer *ONLY* if the browser is IE for windows? I want it to remain hidden for everything else, Netscape, Opera, Mozilla and anything for Mac. I'm not having much luck out here.
this is driving me nuts. I'm not new to programming, except that I've been avoiding Javascript for long time and now it's biting me back.
I have form in which I have among other element a series of checkboxes. These have different id, and values but same name attributes. These attributes are populated with good old ASP spaghetti code.
When I check the box, I want a Div tag called "floatleyer" to populate with a duplicate checkbox and it's value ( a string). So now we have pair of check boxes one the page and a matching one in the div area. If you un-check either box of the matching pair the other member of the given pair gets un-checked as well. In addition, the box and value string from the floatleyer is completely removed.
Now i want the second layer to appear when i hover over the first, which it does. however i want it so that when i move my cursor away from the second layer it dissapears but the problem is it doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone know this frame layer pop up because I found it the other day but forgot the google keywords I used to find it. Now I cannot find it anymore to save my life but need it
i have a layer based website where one layer is holding all the copy and images... depending on the length a div based scrollbar appears and the user can move the content layer up/down...
now i was wondering if it would be possible to include a print button which would ONLY print out the content within the content layer.
