I wonder if you can help? I've implemented a ready made JavaScript vertical toolbar into my Web site but have problems with positioning. It only has by default absolute positioning parameters and I need to change them to relative as whenever the browser is resized the menu stays at the same place on the screen. I was told that using <DIV> tags can help, but I have no idea how to do it.
Can anyone please submit a working example code of asigning relative parameters to the menu?
I'm having a problem with css positions !! i want the position of an image to be fixed when the user scrolls till some point and the position should be set to relative after that
The problem is that the height of the second level menu results in their being gaps in between each menu item so that as you move your mouse down the second menu items it quickly closes again. scripting novice fix this by telling me which variable I need to change either in the Java script or the CSS files.
how can I get the absolute position of a relative element?
We dynamically create a page with multiple segments which are relatively ordered among each other. In these segments we have input fields. When such an input field is focused I need it's absolute position. Is there a way to do so with IE > 6?
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?
I'm busy trying to build an interface where users can create a sort of collage with images that they upload. I know it is possible to get the position of a DHTML element relative to the screen, the problem is I need the coordinates relative to a main div tag so that I can "compile" the collage and then when it gets served it will look the same regardless of screen size.
I want my divs (position: absolute) to be positioned relatively to window size My page is a main table with one cell containing all the rest This cell (anf thus my page) is centered (top and left) Each menu link has onMouseOver which shows (visibility) the corresponding layer (div)
Each visible/invisible layer is positioned on the same spot I use absolute positioning for the divs because some browsers don't support positioning relative to tables My question: is the following code the only solution or am I making my life (slightly) complicated over nothing?
This thing works on NN4, 6 7, IE 4, 5, PC and Mac -- that I know of; repositions divs onResize, with reLoad fix for !#+x°! NN4 I get the window size: Code:
I am trying to make a layer that mimics a particular cell in a table (please dont ask me why, its complicated). I have created the layer so that its dimensions exactly match the table cell in question. Now I want to create a function that sets the top and left position of the layer to exactly match the top and left position of the cell in question. I have already had a try myself, but for the life of me can't quite figure it out.
I tried giving the cell in question and 'id' tag (id="centerCol") and then referencing the left and top values of the object. See the following code:
Have a web app which consists of a form and have it set up to launch a dialog box containing information next to the subject label text field.Everytime, someone fills out the form and clicks on submit, the form's message body (from the text area of the form) is displayed on top and theform is displayed underneath it. Before, I had it set up as fixed (x,y) for the dialog box to appear next to the subject label. But, now, whenthe page becomes longer, the dialog box doesn't appear next to my subject label text field. It is displayed a lot lower.
Here's the code to find the position:
// Finds the position and adds 40px to the left axis. function findPosition(obj) { var curleft = curtop = 0; if (obj.offsetParent) {
[Code]....
How can I set it so my findPosition() calculation doesn't miscalculate when the page is too long (when scroll bars are needed)?
Is there a way to set the relative positioning to always have the dialog appear 40px right of the subject label?
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.
What is the best way to get the position of an element relative to the document (accounting for margins as well)?I would like to position another element over it. I'm using the offset() function but i am running into issues 1. The values for top & left returned in IE 8 (perhaps other versions) are incorrect.2. Offset() doesn't take into account margins of the element. And when margins are set to auto i cannot seem to get the correct margin values to use
I had askedthis question on another forum but unfortunately I was unable to find a fix. I have a select and drag code that works well until in selection is added a position relative div. Here is the code and you can see a working demo at [URL] To see the problem just mouse select span 1, span 2 and the nested span 4 You can see the code and demo at http://jsbin.com/azeli/2
I display tooltips on my page that appear to the right of form elements. But if the element is too far to the right, the tooltip gets cut off. in that case i would like it to appear to the left.
I made this quick 12sec/600KB screencast to help illustrate what's happening:[URL]...There is a hidden div that contains the fieldset. The slide is applied to the div. In Firefox, the element that has the slideDown/SlideUp effect applied works fine. In IE7, the element just appears, then the elements around it slide (which appears broken)
The fieldset element has a position:relative property (which is needed for fixing CSS bugs on the legend tag)
If I remove the position:relative property, slideUp/slideDown works fine in IE7 (but breaks the legend tag)
Is there a way around this without having to remove the position:relative property?
I managed to get my hover over text pop up to work but now I would like the text box to pop up in the same location relative to the text As you can see here, when you hover over any text not within the first row, it is a bit all over the place. Is there any way making the text pop up the same way it does for the first row for the other rows?
Second Question: For some reason, the menu is appearing behind a table row when it expands, thus hiding a good portion of the menu. Here it is: [URL]
Try clicking on 'Products & Services', and then clicking on "Centerfire Rifle Suppressors" from the dropdown menu. When it takes you to that category page, click the menu again and you will see that the menu hides behind the <h1> table row.
Not sure if this is a browser feature kind of thing, or if it can be done with a script.
I'm looking at my page: www.mysite.com/index.php?start=0
I scroll to the bottom of the page with the vertical scroll bar, and then click the pagation link to start on page 2, record #50: www.mysite.com/index.php?start=50
Of course, the vertical scroll bar jumps back to the top of my page.
Is there a way to make it remember that the scroll bar was at the bottom (or in the middle)?
I want to remember the scroll position (Vertical). So I have 100 articles per page and I pick one article to view its details.. that is on new page. So when I hit the browser button (back) I would like that browser puts the scroller where it was. I think I should use cookies for that... but how?
I would like to use the menu that is linked below. I implemented it on my website but I discovered that it can only go 2 levels deep. I would like it to go one more level and I think that would be done in the javascript but I can't tell for sure. Could someone steer me in the right direction? [URL]
I am a newbie to Sitepoint, and relatively new to CSS and JS. I am using a script from Dynamic Drive and have posted this on their forum as well, with no luck. The menu looks great in every browser but IE. When you hover over the parent page and the child pages show up, they go away when you start to scroll down. But if you scroll really slow, they stay up. I am trying to avoid re-doing the whole thing. Both the CSS and the HTML are below. The site is computerdepot-online.net
I've been working on a vertical reveal menu. Right now it works ok with CSS. But what i'd like it to do is when you mouse over, reveal the menu and have that menu stay open until the user mouses over another menu item. Right now it's a bit jumpier than i'd like it and would like to basically have it stay open on a mouse out event, again until it hits another menu item. Code:
It's basically a vertical list of links, with more specific links hidden inside categories. When you click a category, the specific links should slide down. This is the JS/jQuery part:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript"> function slidey() { $("#vnav ul li ul").slideDown("slow");
[code]....
so the problem here is that when you click a category, it expands ALL sub-categories and it's supposed to just expand the sub-categories related to the section clicked.
I'm currently trying to build a vertical mega menu as all the ones on the net seem to be set up for horizontal menus. I'm struggling a bit on a certian point as I'm not a very strong Javascript user.It places the mega menu under the button but i want it to appear to the side of the button and be flush with the top of it. I have made it appear to the side but I cant seem to make it run flush with the top of the button, it appears at the bottom of the button.The buttons are 142px wide and 28 in height.
