JQuery :: Center An Object That Is Positioned Via 'absolute'?
Jun 15, 2011
I have a routine that centers an object. I pass it a string such as "#myid" and it sets the 'left' property based on the width of the object and of the monitor.
Now in theory I could just use <center> tags, but I'm trying to center an object that is positioned using the 'absolute' attribute. It seems that <center> tags have no effect on 'absolute' positioned objects.
(I need the 'absolute' because the screensscroll underneath it). Anyway, I've been told that this is bad practice, and positioning should always be done via css, and never jquery/javascript. But I don't see any other way to do this. Is there one?
How to determine how a absoluted positioned element was positioned?
For example, a div positioned with bottom: 10px, will have a "top" read in Firefox. But if using "top" to move the box, instead of moving it, it will grow or shrink.
I have an div element (lets call it div number 1) that I have attached a click event to using jquery.bind() method. That works fine. I then have another div element (div number 2) that is absolute positioned on top of div 1. Now div number 2 also has a click event binded to it, which works... the problem is when I click div 2 and the click event triggers, so does the click event from div 1... I don't want the click event from div 1 to fire.
I have some fixed or absolute positioned DOM elements in the whole document for some purpose, How can I traverse the whole document to get the above mentioned elements, any jquery method to be there please let me know,
Internet Explorer can't bind events to absolute positioned elements ? can't bind a "click" to an element that is overlapping another.Have tried loads of different ways, here are 5 of them:
version 1: $(".classHolder").click(function(){ alert( $(this).html() ); }); version 2:
I have an absolute positioned navigation on my page that makes you jumps up or down the page to view some pictures placed in another absolute positioned DIV with scroll bar. The navigation is simply made by numbers: 1 2 3 4 5 6. When you rollover 2 is underlined and onclick the page jumps down to the second picture and the number 2 stays underlined, and so on for 3 4 5 6. The style changes this way
HTML <span id='first' class="selected"><a href="#1" onclick="first()">1 </a></span> <span id='secondo' class="normal"> <a href="#2" onclick="second()">2 </a></span> and so on for 3 4 5 6
[Code]....
What I would like to do is to make the style change automatically also when the user scroll the page instead of clicking. I thought I could control the y coordinate with window.onscroll but because what scrolls is the DIV and not the page the window.onscroll doesn't work. Is there a way to control the same way the scroll of a DIV? Or should I build the site differently?
I need to make it so that whenever the user lands on a specific div or class the window gets centered around it. The idea is that I have a link to a div and I need that when users click on that link and land on that div the window is centered around the div.[code]...
My page accepts a url with various parameters passed in querystring. One of the parameter is the URL of the Image I wish to display on the page. I save this URL in a variable "imagesource"
To ensure the image is not bigger than the size permitted, I use image object to get the height and width of the image.
Now here's my code:
function foo(){ ...... var imagesource = URL of the image; .... var newImg = new Image();
I'm trying to apply the "absolute" position to the DOM object for non-IE browsers but Mozilla (or Firefox) does not recognize it. But the top and left position works for the "div" tag though. The IE browser works fine though.[code]...
I'm having an issue with looping a set of divs that are positioned on top of each other. When a link is clicked, the second div should fade in as the top div fades out, which coincides with another div changing background colour.As you'll notice, when the link is clicked for a third time, it loops back to the beginning by using the rel tag to keep track of what div is showing. The problem is that when it loops to the beginning the animation is not in sync with the second div changing colour.The code for all three is exactly the same and it doesn't matter how many coloured divs you have, it's always the last one fading out that causes the issue. The '#second' colour change fires after the box changes, not synchronised like the previous clicks.This is a basic example that I'm using on a site elsewhere so the concept of the second div fading in and then the first fading out is important - I can't switch so the first fades out then the second fades in.
I have a Div element (id=Div1) that is absolutely positioned on the page. Inside it I have another Div (id=Div2) that is absolutely sized so that it fills the whole of Dvi1.Looking at the UI/Effects/Scale page in the API docs I see the example code:
Translating this I am trying to make Div2 shrink until it vanishes, as shown in the example, so I am using $("#Div2") to get this done, however, it does not work.Is this because the Div (either of them!) is absolutely positioned? Ideally Id like Div2 to shrink away to nothing on the click of a button, but first steps first.
I am having a problem with an absolutely-positioned div disappearing while IE7 is animating. The animation has a z-index lower than the div containing Questions, Customizable, and Library, but the div disappears during animation. Is there anything I can do about this? I've tried changing the positioning, z-index, and moving the div to occur before the animation, but nothing seems to work. Everything looks fine in FF, IE8, and Safari.
For one project i am suing jdMenu to power up the drop down menu system. I am interested for the second level of the menu to position the <ul> at 50% on the parent <li>, like on[URL]...
Using css this is not possible since the ul has the size in em and the parent li have the size in %. So have to use a different method...
i am trying to learn how to position a show/hide module to the "a" that triggers it, instead of a literal positioning through css this is a sample of the module i am trying to position.[URL]..would like to set the object relative to the cell where the trigger exists. can anyone point me in the direction of tutorials or samples of this behavior?
I have about 40 divs, all positioned absolutely with a certain width and a left attribute.I am looking for a way to make sure all these divs don't overlap, meaning that if one div has its starting point (left) within another div(left+width), the first div should be moved down as long as it takes (height of 2nd div).Having barely any experience with jQuery at all, I really hope I can find some answers here.
I've wondering if anyone knows of a script where I can scroll a div down the page as the user scrolls down the page. You know, like those annoying ads do sometimes
I've googled for some, but the ones I've tried only work to varying degrees when I want the div positioned relatively. The reason I want it relatively positioned is that my site is centred, and fixed-width.
Basically, I need it to scroll up and down in a 'side bar' area, and the main problem I seem to be having: not scroll below my footer area.
Anyone know of a method to lazy load images which are absolutely positioned on top of each other? I have seen the lazy load plugins out there, but none of them seem to work with this layout. I am using jQuery cycle to animate a slideshow. Cycle takes the slides and absolutely positions them on top of one another. Any way to lazy load these? I'm sure I could do it custom but pulling all of the slides not currently active and load them later, but I am looking for an easier way.
I want to get some idea of what methods there are to center a div element.If you know a cool method please show us how it's done using this jsfiddle dummy to start
I've designed a web page that uses several DIVs that use absolute positioning so they can layer on top of each other with transparent shadows. You can view the design here:http:[url]...The client wanted the whole design to center in the window horizontally, and since I can't use margin: 0 auto; to achieve this, I'm using a script that detects the window size using the onLoad operator in the body tag. This is the script:
Code: <!-- window.onresize= alertSize; function alertSize() {[code].....
It works, but I don't like that the page snaps back to the left every time a new page loads. Is there a way for the script to detect the window size from the previous page so that the design won't jump if the window hasn't been resized?
i would like to know the absolute position of an element (e.g. <LI>) in the browser. i nned to know it in order to place juste beside another element (e.g. submenu).
for example: i have a <li> tag which is at 400px from my browser left border (because it is inside a div which is screen centered). this <li> has a width of 180 px so if i want to know the most left position for my submenu, i should get 400 + 180 = 580 px (from the browser left border).
i tried offset but without success. in fact it returns me 0.
I ma just trying to figure out how I might center a superfish menu - and possibly make the top level LIs 'auto size'. It sees the menu will only float left or right. Of course I am not a css guru either - it could be staring me in the face.
I am looking for a image gallery that will work where some photos are positioned horizontally and some are vertical. I hope it is possible. The photos are for an artist that I am working with. I hope someone will have an answer. It doesn't have to be fancy. Even a simple magnifyer would be fine. I guessed that javascript might be the most appropriate form.
