JQuery :: Find Position Of Element In A DIV With Overflow:scroll?
Nov 21, 2011
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?
I want to test if I get a overflow in a fixed sized div and in that case add 'overflow:scroll' to the div. I guess there is a way to check if a generated contents (from PHP) will create an overflow but how?
I 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.
This supposed to be simple, but I don't really know jQuery in order to implement this the proper way.All I want is to create a div with some text inside. The div will be overflowed some text will be visible.So all I want to do is to create to small links "up" and "down" so when the visitor clicks on then the text scrolls up or down. like this effect hereI tried to do some search ... but all I find are plugins and scrollers to create carousels or so
In order to make my site scalable (down to 1024x768), I need four layers to vertically scroll so that their contents doesn't force the main page to scroll. However, on higher resolutions, there'll be more space below the layers which means I don't necessarily want the layers to scroll if there's enough space to fit the text in.
I've tried CSS - I had to specify a height of 250px (the most I can use before main-page-scrolling takes effect in 1024x768) and set overflow: auto. The problem with this is that this is static formatting - no matter what resolution I use, the layers are always going to scroll because the height has been set to 250px.
So I was wondering if there's a way, either a CSS property/function (or maybe this can only be done in java script) - to make the layers scroll only if there's a risk of the main page scrolling?Or do I need to attack this with a crowbar and have a separate style sheet for every single resolution where I specify the height of the layers for each one?
how to automatically scroll the page inside an IFrame? I have an IFrame that has no scroll bars, but there's a bit of whitespace that I want to get rid of. Unfortunately, the page in question doesn't have an element in the right area with an ID that I can anchor to.
I'm building an application that lets a user enter a text string in a text input box, then I display the text string in a separate division using dynamic html techniques. I use innerHTML to rewrite a div, specifiying the style elements inside the <div> tag, and placing the text string between the <div> and </div> tags. I use the overflow:hidden attribute to keep the text from visibly overflowing.
However I'd like to be able to actually detect that an overflow has occured, so that I can truncate the text string (change the form input element value) so that it contains only the characters that 'fit' without overflowing the div element.
Is there a way to capture the event of a specific DIV element overflowing?
I'm wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on this. I have an accordion set up which is all working fine. Clicking accordion elements scrolls a main div into position (y-axis). However, i would like to trigger the accordion externally. More specifically, if the user manually scrolls the main content div (using the browser scrollbar or their mousewheel) i would like to trigger the relative accordion section based on the scroll (y-axis) position of the scrolling div. What would be the best way/plugin for achieving this?
The positions would be very specific so there could be an array of y-pos values. Alternatively, for the accordion scroll function anchor links are already set up in the main scrolling div so would this be the best option? I'm just struggling to see how to achieve this.
Ultimately, I'm looking to build navigation between article titles (h2 tags) where each title acts as an anchor link to the next title.How do I find the position of the next occurance of a tag, not necessarily adjacent, matching the current $(this) clicked item?
The mouse position tutorial has an example of how to find the click position within an element. How do you find the click position within the viewport?
In the top right of the page is a JavaScript (Prototype) Carousel that scrolls through images when you click the arrows. It works properly in all browsers except IE 6 & 7 (it does work properly in IE 8) with my primary concern being IE 7. When you click on the right arrow to scroll to the next image it scrolls properly but the entire strip of images is displayed and it sites on top of the page's content.I've tried all of the overflow:hidden hacks I could find so.
i have a div of height 500px and width 800px. i have set it as auto on over flow and usually i have 500 records displayed so it scrolls. lets say i trigger an even on row number 478 inside that scrollable div and that event causes a page reload, can i go back to that same position in side that div? how?
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.
My DOM structure in HTML page have some elements 'IMG'. One of 'img' element have attribute 'src' = 'lolo1.jpg'. How can i find the 'DIV' element with this specific 'img' element inside? I have to find nearest 'DIV'.
[Code]...
I wanna write function like a GetNearestDivID('lolo2.jpg') which would give me result 'mix2'
I'm currently building a website that has a flash fullscreen popup at the beginning. The flash popup loads fullscreen, therefor I've set overflow-y to hidden. As soon as the flash popup is done, it removes the div it the flash is in using javascript, but I can't figure out how to put the overflow-y to visible.
I'm assuming I need to build a Javascript function to show overflow-y visible, and then need to call to that function from the flash file. I just can't figure out how to build the javascript function since I suck at javascript.
All the CSS is in the original file, so not in an external stylesheet, this needs to stay that way because I have to implement the code in to several different web sites.
Trying to get the height of an element whose height is specified in the CSS.
So I am trying to animate the height of an item, where I have: <img id="myButton" src="myimage.jpg" /> <div id="myDiv" style="height:50px;overflow:hidden"> asdklf
[Code]....
However, it only registers as 50, even if the element is 500
Rather than have several different pages, an app was designed to have different sections, all on one page. To get to the different sections the browser is scrolled down. It may take several submits before everything gets filled out correctly. The user complained because the page would not scroll to the previous position, code was installed to save and restore the page position, but it doesn't always go to the same place. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't. Two text boxes are used to save position, and the page is regenerated with x and y as literals by the server. The problem seems to be what values are saved as the page is submitted. Code:
