So I have created a simple calendar [URL] and I have a bunch of "More Info" buttons I made from cells. In a table cell to the right are a bunch of hidden DIV's that all appear when you rollover a "More Info" button, obviously giving more details about the calendar date/event.
My problem is that I have to give an exact "top" css position to every one of these hidden div's every single time I add a new event to the calendar. I want to dynamically tell each hidden div to match the "top" css position to match the top position of each "More Info" button. How do I do that?
I'm trying to do is simple "select all" checkbox script. The problem is, no matter what I seem to do, only first element is matched. $("input:checkbox").attr("checked", true); checks the first box only. Same with: $("input:checkbox").each(... I even tried copying this script directly from the jQuery documentation page: $("div").css("border","9px solid red"); It applies a red border to the first div on my page.. the example in the documentation applies it to all divs.
This should be pretty simple one ,yet I can't seem to figure it out. There are posts that are similar to my question on here, but they don't really answer my questions. The a user comes to the page, they're at a URL like such: [URL]..
Any idea on how to get the coordinates/position of a div element? For example I want to get the coordinates of a particular poll which is placed on my right sidebar.
I tried this, but will not work:
document.getElementById('test').style.left
Must I set the position to relative for the element test?
The snippet below is related to some code that I'm developing that will eventually cause a scrolling DIV (overflow-y:scroll) to scroll to bring a specified element into view. I actually developed the code about a year ago. The code worked under IE6, but does not appear to work under IE7. Is offsetTop still a valid means of getting the position of an element?
Here's something I'm working on: for a click on a given element, I want to be able capture the x/y coordinates of the mouse -- that is, the mouse coordinates relative to the top left corner of said element.
However this doesn't always work in my script. Now, I've googled how to find the position of an element. And come accross many scripts which supposedly all find the position of any object. Some are very long scripts and some are very short all using a variety of methods. Incidently none of which work, they all return (0,0).

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 a web page that renders a table with about 300 rows in it, which means vertical scrolling. At the end of the page there's a hidden div element sitting. Each row in the table contains a button which needs to call a javascript which should position the hidden div right next to the clicked button. I've tried a lot of different approaches that I've found on google, but all of them only position the div around the top area of the page. If I scroll down a ways and click the button, I have to scroll back up to the top of the page to find the div.
The primary target is users using IE8, but of course, if there's a cross-browser solution for this problem, that would be super!
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 am making a small text editor for text areas on my website.Just to handle simple text formatting etc.I have an emoticon button which I want to display a <div> of all the emoticons below the actual emoticon button.I have the javascript code to find the left and top positions of the emoticon button, which spits out numbers that look correct.However in my show_emoticons function the left and top style setting is never getting set, in firebug they are just displayed as "".
Is it possible to do this? Say I want to find out where on the screen a specific div is, and i want to know the values of the left and top properties. Can i find this out? If so, how?

I have no perfect cross-browser solution to position html element on the bottom of the page. I know that with Firefox I do it as: position:fixed; bottom:0px;
However, IE does not understand that. Did anyone come across this issue to share with me?
Now if someone clicks on the row with content "help" (2nd), I want to catch the click with jquery .click() and know within the jquery code that the user clicked on the 2nd <tr> element within table#tbl.
If someone clicks on the <tr> with content "this", my jquery code has to return 5, because its the 5th row.
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.
