I've got a script that determines the true position of an element in
the page by cycling up the .offsetParent elements all the way up to the
<body> element and tallying up the .offsetLeft values returned by each
element. It works fine on the major browsers (IE, Moz, NS) on PC but
Safari on the Mac returns "0" for the offsetLeft right off the body tag
when it should be a greater value than that....
I have reimplemented the non-standard <marquee> element (in a very
simplified fashion), moving around a DIV using offsetParent and
offsetWidth.
It works fine in Mozilla (1.7.5) and Safari (1.2.4), but fails
miserably in IE6/Win : the content scrolls off screen to the right hand
side, although it should be going to the left.....
I noticed something odd yesterday—or at least something I didn't expect. When I call offsetParent() on an element with position: fixed, I get back a reference to the body tag rather than the nearest positioned element in the DOM. Is this expected behavior? If so, why?
I am including some sample code that will illustrate what I'm talking about: a relatively positioned div with one absolutely positioned and one fixed positioned child. Load the example in a browser that supports window.console and you'll see log statements showing the result of a call to offsetParent() for each. I would expect both the absolute and fixed position divs to return the relatively positioned one as their offset parents, but offsetParent says the fixed position div's offset parent is the body element.
I saw this behavior with both jquery 1.3.2 and 1.4, and in Safari4.0.4 (6531.21.10) and Firefox 3.5.7 on a Mac running OS X 10.6.2.

I am currently getting the position of a DOM element by using offsetLeft & offsetTop. This works fine, but I notice that when I use these properties in Internet Explorer the values returned are slightly different from when I use them with Firefox, Safari, or Camino.
I am basically trying to create a DIV over a certain part of a fixed table, so I use offsetLeft & offsetTop to get the coordinates of that table and then position my DIV based on those coordinates. The problem is that with Internet Explorer it seems to be a few pixels off compared to when I do it with Firefox, Safari, or Camino.
Is there a way to calculate the .offsetLeft or .left of a character in a string relative the element that contains the string? I'm just trying to wrap each character in an element and position the characters independently, so I have to set the .position to absolute, and set the .left and .top on each element as I create it so I can move the elements later on.

Does anyone know if there is a quick test to tell if Safari 1.3 (or 2.0
will suffice) is the browser that doesn't rely on the typical
navigator.* methods? For instance, there is the good 'ol document.all
test for MSIE... Looking to add Safari support to my tty editor for my cms.
The following code suppresses the 'enter' key, when run in I.E. 5.5 or
later (Windows) but not when run in Safari (Mac)
<body onkeypress="javascript:keysuppress(event)" >
function keysuppress(e)
{
if (e.type=="keypress" && e.keyCode=="13")
{
event.returnValue=false
}
}
What code can I use to suppress the 'enter' key when running an app in
Safari?
I am currently working on a project that displays preview of a jpeg
in an iframe. we can edit this preview - like increasing its zoom
level and changing pages , images etc. This works fine with IE on windows
but whenit comes to Safari on Mac , the preview is lost on refreshing the
browser.
I have noticed that this problem occurs when ever I use Iframes.
Although the main jsp page is refreshed and shown, the jsp page that
is the source for iframe contained in the main jsp page is not shown.
I thought that if I have:
....
<body onload="some_script();">
....
that some_script would not be called until the <body> was completely
loaded - is this not the case? With Safari 1.3 I seem to have to delay
inside some_script (there is some php in the <body> that slows down the
loading). Since I happen to have a spare iframe in my <body>, I load a
tiny bit of html in it whose job is simply to set a "loaded" flag,
tested inside my delay code.
What I was observing was that some fields inside a <form> in the <body>,
whose values are set by some_script, were, with Safari, not visible
until I clicked in one of them - then they all popped into sight. I
wasn't seeing this with other browsers and a delay mechanism fixed it.
It was as if the onload was triggered as soon as it was encountered
rather than when the loading was complete.
I'm trying to use the onPaste event in a text input, which according to Apple is supported. However, I get no response in Safari. Firefox works fine.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm writing some stuff where I wish to allow the cursor keys to control
elements in a page. This has not been a problem except with Safari
which appears to duplicate the keydown and keyup events which are fired
when the cursor keys are pressed. I.e. pressing and releasing say, K,
results in one keydown event followed by one keyup event. Press any of
the cursor keys results in two keydown events followed by two keyup
events.....
I have a big <table> and I have added an onmousedown handler.
When I get back the event in IE and Firefox, the individual <td>
element appears in window.event.srcElement (IE) and in
event.target (Firefox). However in Safari the target is just the
<table>, not the <td>.
I need to get back the <td> associated with the event, and I would
not like to put an onmousedown handler on each table cell because
there are a lot of them. Does anybody know how I can get the event
and figure out which table cell was clicked?
The stuff I've built recently works (in the sense that it does what I'm
expecting it to do without any errors or warnings) in IE and FF but

I don't do any browser sniffing, I test for a feature for I try to use it...

In my applications I've a ton of scripts that use remote XML file to fill forms and evaluate contents; In these scripts I always use the method SelectNode (that, with some workaround, works fine also in Mozilla).
I've just found out that this method doesnt work in Safari browser, therefore my applications are not usable by this browser. Can anyone provide me any solution or workaround to be able to read XML
files in Safari wihout rewriting all of my scripts?
Ok, I've been noodling with this for several days now and I'm starting
to go crazy. Does Apple's Safari browser support drag events on
Textarea elements? The few specs and docs I've found seem to indicate
that it does but I can't get it to work for the life of me. I've tired
everything I can think of to try get notifications for the events:
ondragenter
ondragleave
ondragover
ondrop
Not only do these events not seem to fire over the body of the
textarea, but also the textarea seems to sink the events (so setting
event handlers on document or body report no events while occurring
over the text area). Even stranger the 1px border around the textarea
*does* respond to the events, but once the mouse moves into the actual
textarea it stops. I thought perhaps it was that native OSX UI
elements don't fire events, but all "regular" mouse events seem to
work (onmousemove, onclick, etc...).
Even more frustratingly, if I absolutely position a new element above
the textarea (zIndex of new element textarea's) to try and catch
these events, the text area *below* the element still sinks the events
(even though it's not in the bubbling or capture path for the event).
In other words, a div absolutely positioned above the textarea won't
fire dragevents anywhere it overlaps the textarea. I can't click on
the textarea below or manipulate it in any way, but dragevents still
seem to be sunk by the textarea.
I've tried using event capturing vs. bubbling as well as different
methods of applying the event handler to the text area
(textarea.ondragenter, vs addEventListener(textarea,dragenter,true/
false) all to no avail.
I'm assuming Safari's textarea just doesn't work with drag events,
unless I'm missing something really basic. Anyone gotten this to work?
Any pointers or tips. Google searches have resulted in nothing, I
can't imagine I'm the only person who's tried to get this to work as
it seems like manipulating drag events on textareas would be a common
thing to want to do.
According to the Safari browser the world began on "Fri Dec 13 1901 15:45:52 GMT-0500", but I need to be able to get around this limitation.
I am interested in dates from 1500 to 1901, as far as I can determine, there are 14 possible calendar variations.
Year starts on Sun, Mon..... Leap year starts on Sun, Mon..
I can label these early year "types" as a number between 0 and 13.
Let's say 2005 is type 5, and that 1655 is too. (In both years Jan 1 falls on a Saturday)
I'm trying to create a function that will identify the "type" of year.
function getYearType(year){
return Number // number between 0 and 13
}
In firefox, this script works just fine. But in safari, it doesn't do anything and I can't figure out why.The intention of this code is to just create a draggable item.

The following script is scrolling my page smoothly, as it is supposed to, in IE and FF however it is not working at all in Safari, any version. The page is:

When working correctly, you click the nav buttons in the left sidebar, the page scrolls to the appropriate section.
The script:
$(function(){
$('a[href*=#]').click(function() {
