I don't know if this is a browser bug. I positioned a div at the bottom of the page just underneath the viewport, calculating it with $(document).height() and animate it to bottom:0, works great even when scrolling, cause of updating with the scroll-event. But when I reload this page or scroll down a bit the original position value was used, so it animates to the original viewport value.
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?
I was editing some javascript code yesterday that happened to use jquery. Part of the code selected two elements via jquery. Then the original author used nodeIndex to determine the position of each of these nodes in their parents. I could not find any documentation on nodeIndex on the jQuery site or anywhere else on the internet. It seemed to work in IE8, but I did not see the property from FireBug in FireFox 3.5. So I removed the call to nodeIndex and used a for loop to calculate my own equivalent of the nodeIndex. Is nodeIndex officially supported or meant for internal use? Is it documented anywhere? [URL]
while (re.test(str)) str = str.replace(re, '$1.$2$3')
str += (arr.length 1) ? (',' + arr[1]) : ''
elm.value = str } </snip>
It works as I expected, except that after the function finished its execution the cursor moves to the end of the textfield. So if I want to insert two or more characters, the rest of it goes to the end of textfield.
How I determine the position of the cursor in the textfield before executing the regex?
I have a floating div that stays at the bottom of the browser window while the user scrolls down a long page. The div reads "scroll down for more". How can I determine the current position of the div in relation to the top of the page, not the top of the browser window. I need to determine this because I would like to hide the div when the user scrolls to the top of the last page. I have looked at offsetParent, offsetHeight, scrollHeight, etc.
I have the code for everything except determining the position of the div, or the distance of the div from the top of the page.

When I leave the first textbox (taborder 1), I need to check and see if the textbox contains avalue. If it does, then I need to check and see if the second textbox (taborder 2)contains a value. If it doesNOT, then I need to loadthe second textboxwith "100" and highlight (select) the text. I am adding a blur event to all the column one textboxes as they all contain"rawCount" in the id. Here is my blur event code:
$(document).ready(function(){ $('input[id*=rawCount]').bind('blur', function (event) { // Code to go here }); });
What I am trying to do isadd thecode tocheck and update thecolumn two textbox in the corresponding row (same index)to the blur event of the column one textboxes without having to loop the array each time to find the current textbox array position. Since it is adding the blur event, it has to be possible.
I have 50 thumbnails running vertically down the page, so that the viewer must scroll quite a bit to see them all. When a thumbnail is clicked I want to display the full size image in the middle of the viewport. Thus, the top offset of the absolute div that displays the full size picture will change depending on how far down the viewer has scrolled.
I can bind a function to the <img> tag that will set the top offset of the div where the full size images are displayed but I don't know how to get the current position of the viewport, or how to position something with respect to the viewport.
Can jQuery pull the viewport position out of the DOM and let me center something in it?
I'm using a simple toggle function to reveal divs when clicking on the associated heading. What I'm aiming to achieve: 1. When the heading is clicked, the hidden div will be revealed and the page scrolled so that the heading is at the top of the viewport. 2. If the page has insufficient height for the heading to move to the top, the page height will be increased to allow this to occur. 3. When the heading is clicked again, the div will be hidden but the heading remain in its current position at the top of the viewport. If a div is being toggled closed when not at the top, the page having been scrolled, then it should remain in its current position.
Other things to consider: Preventing the amount of any generated empty space at the page bottom from being sufficient to fill the entire viewport.
Current state of play: The code below will move the heading and revealed div to the top of the viewport if the page height is sufficient. When the div is hidden again, the heading drops down to its original location on the page, which is disorienting for the user.
Markup <h2 class="trigger">Switch<h2> <div>Content to toggle</div>
I am migrating a site from prototype/scriptaculous to jQuery, and I am encountering a lot of problems with animations in IE. I should start by asking that in scriptaculous, none of these animations require special CSS or tricks for IE (like getting rid of position absolute or anything like that), but this seems to be the case for almost every animation I do in jQuery - is there a list somewhere of all the little hacks and tricks people need to do to get these animations to work in IE? I have re-implemented a few hundred of these animations (mostly crossfades, sliding up and down, highlights), and not a single one worked in IE with the original CSS from the scriptaculous version (in most cases, the other browsers would). In most cases this has to do with absolute positioning. Is it possible jQuery 1.4.4 (the version I am working with) just has massive problems or something because my impression was this library was supposed to be easier to work with, not inordinately more difficult... I just find it hard to believe everyone else is having this many issues with it.
In any event, one thing I can't find any fix for anywhere, is animating the scrollTop of an element (NOT the whole page, which seems to be what everyone else wants to do). I have a div with overflow:hidden, and two buttons underneath which allow the user to scroll through the div (a real scrollbar in this context would not look good or be very useful in comparison).
I ported the code over from scriptaculous, and it works just fine in all normal browsers. Here is the version that would animate scrolling up:
Tested in Firefox/Chrome/Safari just fine right off the bat. But in IE, it just waits and then calls my callback, setting the scrollTop correctly at the end but not actually animating. It's not totally failing, in the sense that the scrolling does happen, and the callback does fire, but it should animate, and I don't really see any reason why it wouldn't. I have set position on the div and all wrapping divs to relative, and static, and set the display value, set the zoom value, widths, heights, everything, but this div will not animate as it scrolls at all in IE only (this is all IE's - 6, 7, and 8). I also tried isolating the div on its own page, removing nearly all the content (leaving text so it will have something to scroll through), practically no CSS outside of width, height, and overflow, and again - does not work in IE only (works in all other browsers without fail).
I have following code to have a scroll animation effect. The cod eis triggered e.g. by a click.[code]...
The problem is, that the browser (tested in FF, Chrome, IE9) just jumps to the scroll target, no effect is viewable. I googled the code in different places, everybody else seems to have no probs with it.
So im basically using a link, to scroll through a series of divs to select the correct one.Ie click on happy, and scrolls to 'happy' div, However, the scroll seems to not go to what its linked to, but scrolls to the third div in the list.
i,m trying to make a map who show me as position A and a target adress as point B.I have made it so i can choose adress a and adress b from a dropdown but i want to automaticly load my position as possition A then choose position B from a dropdownlist. How can i do this ?
Essentially the idea is to make Element-B and Element-C to cover the area horizontally starting from center of Element-A and ending at the edge of viewport.So, I guess i want to get the distance value from the center of Element-A to the edge of viewport
Additional notes:
Element-A doesnt have static position or size. Element-B and Element-C verticalposition or height is irrelevant.
I was thinking something like this:Calculate width of Element-A and divide it by two ( Or just get half the width if theres a way. ) Get the distance from the edge of Element-A to the edge of Viewport Add up these calculated values.Of course unless theres way to get that this width straight up )I was trying to look for a way to do list item 2.
I'm working on a mysql browser / edit-in-place app which presents the user with a floating UI (think lightbox), that contains widgets appropriate for the given field they've clicked on.
Presently, rather than centering the UI element like a lightbox however, I find it best to keep it relative to their mouse, so that they don't have to traverse halfway across the screen with their mouse to interact with the interface if they've clicked something (for instance) on the bottom left.
The problem however should be apparent: if they click something towards the bottom of the screen, we need to adjust the css top/left properties so that the UI remains within the viewable area and doesn't run beyond the viewport, if possible. I've seen this done tons of times with tooltips.
I've thrown some basic awareness together using$(window).height() / width(), but if anyone could point me to a maturealgorithmfor harvesting the appropriate offset.
