Position Element - Div - Next To Mouse Click?

Sep 13, 2011

I have a web page that renders a table with about 300 rows in it, which means vertical scrolling. At the end of the page there's a hidden div element sitting. Each row in the table contains a button which needs to call a javascript which should position the hidden div right next to the clicked button. I've tried a lot of different approaches that I've found on google, but all of them only position the div around the top area of the page. If I scroll down a ways and click the button, I have to scroll back up to the top of the page to find the div.

The primary target is users using IE8, but of course, if there's a cross-browser solution for this problem, that would be super!

Iframes And Mouse Position

Sep 22, 2006

I have a really professional conspiracy movie site
and I use tons of layers and an external scroll bar assembly.
I would like to put the various sections into MS Iframes and
in order to clean up the page but I find that the iframes interfere
with the getting the mouse coords from the screen which is
essential in moving the scroll bar around.

My test html is given below. With the iframe hidden the mouse coords
are obtainable. With the iframe visible things get buggy.


Where the "background_foriframe.html" is just a html file with
a background layer using a "DIV" tag. Code:

Mouse Position In Firefox

Jul 24, 2005

I have a bunch of links that when you mouseover should bring up a window with extra information. The links look like

Code:
<a href="#" onMouseOver="popInfo(this)" onMouseOut="unpopInfo(this)">Link Text</a>
Here's the code for the tw functions, popInfo and unpopInfo:

Code:
function popInfo(x) {
var posx = 0;
var posy = 0;
if (!e) var e = window.event;
if (e.pageX || e.pageY)
{
posx = e.pageX;
posy = e.pageY;
}
else if (e.clientX || e.clientY)
{
posx = e.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft;
posy = e.clientY + document.body.scrollTop;
}
var infoBox = x.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[0];
infoBox.className = 'infoBoxHover'
infoBox.style.left = posx;
infoBox.style.top = posy;
}
function unpopInfo(x) {
var infoBox = x.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[0];
infoBox.className = 'infoBox'
}
This is working perfectly in IE and Opera but in firefox it's saying that window.event has no properties. I don't know much about javascript so I don't know where to start. Some help would be great.

Iframe Relative Mouse Position

Jul 20, 2005

I 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?

Need Mouse Position In IE When I Click On L Link

Aug 3, 2006

I am facing a problem in getting mouse position when I click on a link, specialy the Y coordinate of the mouse position. I am using this code :

[color=Sienna]if (document.layers) { // Netscape
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE);
document.
} else if (document.all) { // Internet Explorer
document.
} else if (document.getElementById) { // Netcsape 6
document.
}
// Global variables
xMousePos = 0; // Horizontal position of the mouse on the screen
yMousePos = 0; // Vertical position of the mouse on the screen
xMousePosMax = 0; // Width of the page
yMousePosMax = 0; // Height of the page

function captureMousePosition(e) {
if (document.layers) {
xMousePos = e.pageX;
yMousePos = e.pageY;
xMousePosMax = window.innerWidth+window.pageXOffset;
yMousePosMax = window.innerHeight+window.pageYOffset;
} else if (document.all) {
xMousePos = window.event.x+document.body.scrollLeft;
yMousePos = window.event.y+document.body.scrollTop;
xMousePosMax = document.body.clientWidth+document.body.scrollLeft;
yMousePosMax = document.body.clientHeight+document.body.scrollTop;
} else if (document.getElementById) {
xMousePos = e.pageX;
yMousePos = e.pageY;
xMousePosMax = window.innerWidth+window.pageXOffset;
yMousePosMax = window.innerHeight+window.pageYOffset;
}

window.status = "xMousePos=" + xMousePos + ", yMousePos=" + yMousePos + ", xMousePosMax=" + xMousePosMax + ", yMousePosMax=" + yMousePosMax;

}[/COLOR]

It works fine for mouse move and displayes correct mouse pos in status bar.

But when on mouse click i try to get the position it return the xMousePos good, but yMousePos it return is related to the browser client area in IE rather than the my document ( html ).

So when i try to place a div their it is placed near top of the document bcoz it ignores the scrolling information. or the

document.body.scrollLeft

document.body.scrollTop
is always 0( zero ) as i debug it. Code:

How Do You Pass Mouse Events Through DIV Element To The DIV Element Beneath It?

Apr 27, 2006

I'm using the Microsoft Virtual Earth Version 1 Commercial Control.
I want to make it so you can click on a pinpoint that's plotted on the
map and all mouse events are passed to the map so that the user can
click anywhere on the map (including the pin points) and drag/zoom the
map around.

For those of you who haven't used Virtual Earth:
Basically, there are a bunch on absolutely positioned Div elements. I
basically want to pass all mouse events from one absolutely positioned
div element to the absolutely positioned div element directly beneath
it.

JQuery :: Finding Surrounding Text At Mouse Position?

Sep 3, 2010

I 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?

JQuery :: Compensate For Mouse Position If Page Is Re-sized From Default?

Mar 16, 2010

I am using mouse x,y onclick in one div (if mouse is in one set of coordinate range) to determine whether or not to show/hide another div, and am stumped as to how to compensate for the user changing page size, as the coordinates change. Is there an absolute xy, regardless of page/text size, or code to compensate for it? What is going on here is I have flash that I have no control over (wix) and I need to show Html (which wix doesn't), so I am having to determine if the user is over a certain button in the swf which I put in a div to give me some control over the flash. I'm using on click to bring the HTML to the front in a certain position, while the flash does its animation thing.

Get Position Of An Element

Sep 1, 2010

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?
