Find The Position Of An Element With Respect To The View Port Area?
Nov 11, 2011
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.
Hides the element by sliding it down. $("div").click(function () { $(this).hide("slide", { direction: "down" }, 1000); }); I am new to Jquery. How do I reverse this code to slide element into viewport as opposed to slide out of view port. This is the link to the effect [URL]. What I want to do is the element will be hidden originally on loading the page and then slides into view with a click anywhere on the page, an anchor or after a few seconds.
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 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.
writing a javascript function to calculate the area of a specific area in map element wich attached to image once clicked by mouse on the relevant hotspot? here's down my code i'm trying to complete:
I have scroll div on the buttom of my page. This div is autoloaded after pressing link via AJAX technology. Everything is ok except position of the web. Right after I press link the view of the page is going to the top. How I could set the view on the div after AJAX content is loaded.
I have an image that I set to have a width of 100%. I want it to be no higher than the screen height. Its inside a div which itself has no height limit set. So I thought I could set the image height to screen.height. But when I do that, it seems to be larger than the visible client area of Internet Explorer. I want it to fit within that space. I realize the image might be distorted by doing that, but thats OK.
I've got a text area called Notes in a form called frmMain.
And I've got a JavaScript function.
Within the JavaScript function what code can I use to move the cursor to the text area field and specifically within that field I'd like the cursor to be exactly 10 characters into the field?
I have a javascript function that sets the value of an input area on my page. I need to update the function so that it also sets the value of the input area on a separate page. Currently, I am using a frameset, so I can see both pages simultaneously, but I cannot change the value of the upper page from the lower page which contains the script to update the input areas.
Here is my code: document.lowerForm.inputOne.value = myVar; //Successfully Updates Input Area. document.upperForm.inputTwo.value = myVar; //Cannot find specified form and input area.
I need to find what control is in some position given. I mean, if I give the values left: 200px and top 300px I need to know what control in the page is in that position, or if there is not any.
I'm using offset values to find the x,y position of an iframe on an html page. The code works in all browsers except in Mac explorer 5.x. Does anybody have any ideas how to get around this?? Thanks. My code is below, assuming myFrame is the iframe in question, offsetLeft is the x coordinate, offsetTop is the y coordinate. For some reason, offsetParent for the iframe on Mac Explorer is always undefined. Even stranger, this is only the case for iframe elements. When dealing with other elements in Mac Explorer 5.x, the code below works fine....
I want to determine the position of each link on a page. I need to know the browser window size, or at least screen resolution. I also need a position in pixels for each link. For example while browsing this page my screen resolution is 1680*1050 and the Blogs link in the menu is positioned at say (100, 120).Is there any consistent way to find this out in the major browsers?Note that the links are just plain links, they don't have the position attribute set in css or anything.I'm thinking about building a script that tracks user click behaviour and it would be tremendously helpful if I didn't need to input say "link Blogs is positioned in area N" to the tracking system.
Was wondering if it's possible to find the left position of a table cell if the cell is created dynamically.
I have a table with a single cell. When a button is clicked, I'd like to add another cell to it, give the cell a class style and then find the cell's left position. Right now I'm using doing 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?
I'm really not sure how to go about doing this, so any and all pointers are welcome. What I'd like to do is be able to find the position and width of a word that has been typed inside of a <textarea>, so that I might overlay some absolutely-positioned elements on top, and size them properly. I would really like to be able to do this in the most general case as possible (independent of fonts, font size, size of the textarea, etc.), but as stated any help is welcome.

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.
After retrieving a record from the database and displaying one of its text field in an input-type textbox, I click on a word and it'll store or show the current position of cursor in a variable. I have no success with IE's caretPos.
I'd like to use the superfish() plugin to improve my dropdown menu. I would like that the dropdown stays inside the menu parent container's width, even if their parent is close to the border. i think the onShow callback is the right one, but i'm at lost on how to proceed next. I have started with this but i don't know how to proceed.

'm having the worst time trying to figure out the math to this problem.have the viewport, offset of the div, amount scrolled, dimensions of the div, and dimensions of the element. But, I can't get the element centered.granted if the div was off screen, or there wasn't enough room for the element to exist, the element would be placed in the nearest position.so, right now I'm just trying to center the element vertically.Here are some variables
