Relative/absolute Positioning
Jul 23, 2005
I am trying to create a menu system.
The mainmenu is a table
<table><tr><td>menu1</td><td>menu2</td></tr></table>
No I try insert the submenu so that it becomes relative to the main menu
item. For menu1 the relevant code then becomes:
<td style="position:relative;">menu1<div style="position:absolute; top:20;
left:0;">
<a href=x.htm>option1</a><br>
<a href=y.htm>option2</a>
</div></td>
This works fine in IE: the div is positioned relative to the td of menu1.
However, in Mozilla it doesn't work. The div becomes relative to the top of
the page.
What am I doing wrong?

I'm just figuring out how to use absolute inside a relative element to shift an image without changing the flow of the rest of the html. It's working for Firefox 4, but not IE 9.
In firefox the div element doesn't cause a hole in the flow. The div and the image inside is simply moved over to where they should be. But in IE, the image is sitting there as part of the flow bumping down the next things (the text and span tags) and the image isn't moving over to the right at all.
I've tried wrapping the div in an another div but that made no difference. Am I crazy to think this is supposed to work? I'm inserting the div and image tags dynamically in the client in javacript.

margin-right: auto;
background-color:#096;

top:0px;
left:0px;
background-color:#999;
}div#cont{
width:900px;
height:500px;
position:relative;

left:0px;
background-color:#FF6;
}</style>...
<div id=back>
<div id="topmenu">topmenu</div>
<div id="logopart">logopart</div>
<div style='display:inline;'>
<div id="leftmenu">leftmenu</div>
<div id="cont">cont</div>
</div></div>
How do I put "cont" div on the right of "leftmenu" without using "absolute"?? The screenshot was little bit cropped out and there is no problem on width.

The following works in IE, but not in firefox:
document.getElementById('mydiv').style.left = event.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft;
document.getElementById('mydiv').style.top = event.clientY + document.body.scrollTop;
Any ideas why?

i wonder if there's a way to find an absolute position of a div-layer from the bottom of the page with some jquery-code.
i need the bottom-value of this container, because my elements are positioned from the bottom of the page.

I am working on a puzzle that produces a container div.Within that div are produced a grid of 9.16. or 25 tiles.The tiles are positioned absolutely so I can be sure of their relative placement. The container div width and height is calculated according to a preset tile width and height (square actually). So the width of the container should adjust to either 3,4 or 5 tile widths and heights.The trouble is that the offset position of the top left tile is different relative to the container for each different set of tiles (even though it is supposed to be the same position relative to the container for each). I do this so I can apply dragging to the container div.The tiles will follow the container when it is moved and the game will not loose its place when tiles swap locations.(one tile is elected as blank, and tiles, one to left, right, top
or bottm, with game content, will swap location with blank when clicked)

I'm trying to get the height of an element that contains content which is absolutely positioned. As far as I can tell, because the absolute positioned content is taken out of the page flow, you cannot retrieve the 'visible' height (ie height as seen onscreen) of the element with properties like clientHeight / offsetHeight.
Is there any way to access the visible height of an element like this?

I place items at absolute locations on my LONG window.
When I scroll the window My Absolute is only relative to the Viewing
Area and tends to move up as i scroll my window.
Is this the normal behaviour ?
I need to have my item fixed to the bottom right hand corner no matter
what is happening to the window, including scrolling.

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 made a remote control window which opens from its parent. On loading, the remote is positioned relative to the screen using window.moveTo(x,y).
What I would like to happen is the remote control to open docked in a
specific location relative to the parent (opener).
Fortunately, I need this to work ONLY in IE, so at least I don't have to
worry about cross-browser issues.
Does anyone know how to open a window realtive to an anchor in the parent
wiondow?

I found an jQuery/javascript slideshow which I try to duplicate. You can find the one I'm talking about here. I downloaded the files needed jQuery, slideme and script but I can't get it to work. In other words the pictures simply don't show. The funny thing is though that when you look in the slideme library they refer to the pictures.I have tried everything but the pictures simply don't show. Does anybody have any experience with this kind of slideshow an see what i'm doing wrong?

Because of the nature of my page, I would like to animate a div from a fixed postion when someone first visits the site to an absolutely position location using after clicking a menu item using .animate and the easing effects. This part seems to work fine, however, when I click on the "home" button again, the div will not move back to the original fixed position. The div just sticks to the top of the page. My assumption is that the .animate scriptdoesn't' know how to interpret/find the fixed position location. Is there a way to make this work?

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 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?

How come when I make a button that's "absolute" position, My dialog overflows and I get the vertical scroll bar if I move the button out of place? I thought it would re size the height accordingly but it doesn't.

$(document).ready(function(){

I built my company's website and the content portion of the site uses
text with styles with relative values and the navigational part of the
site uses text with styles with absolute values. The purpose of this
was so that the end user could increase the size of the text on the
webpage and only the content portion of the page would scale or resize
but the navigation would not. This works as expected on a pc but the
entire page scales on a MAC. Does MAC not support text with styles the
same as pc so that the only scalable text is that with relative values
(ie: small, x-small, medium, large, etc)? Absolute values conist of
point sized text. Code:

I have a rather annoying problem with Mac IE 5.2. I use a javascript
function to determine the x, y position of the upper left corner of
this image of the US. Since this image can be placed anywhere in the
browser, the x, y position is not always (0,0). I am also trying to
lay several dot images on top of this image so that when you click the
dot the user can find out more information about certain states. So I
determine the x, y position and add certain pixels so that the dots
will be placed in the correct places in relation to the US image.
This works well with PC's IE. However, when I open this in Mac IE, the
dots are either shifted too high up or too low in relation to the US
image. Strange thing is, when I resize the browser, the dots literally
jump to their correct places.

I'm trying to create a menu in javascript. I've created the bitmaps with
text over the top of them. The problem i'm having is that the positions
aren't correct. If I wrap the code in PRE tags, then this fixes it. But
this seems to be a bit of a hack, as apposed to finding what the bug is.
I've included examples of the problem below:

Is there some possibility with php to put the horizontal scroll bar of the web brwser into the center if the "width" of web page are bigger then the "width" of the web browser screen?So I don't need to scroll to right if I open the page, but the horizontal scroll bar will be positioned in the center.That code should do the same think like I when I take the scroll bar and put it in the center position, but this should be happen when I load the page automatically.

I was wondering if it is possible to set the positioning of an element in CSS? What I am looking to do, is have a set of 3 boxes on the right of the page and base the size of the boxes by %. Problem is, while I can position the first and third boxes relative to the top and bottom of the page, repectively, depending on the size of the browser, i can't firmly set the positioning for the middle box off of the top or bottom.
Ideally, I would like to use JS to determine the height of the first box (which is based on a % of the page size), and then set the top of the second box = the height of the first box + 5px for a buffer. Code:

I'm trying to write the code for an AJAX script. The goal is to let the visitor send a comment through a form (obviously). The form is inside a div that pops up when the visitor clicks on an "add a comment" link and when the form is submitted the result of the form processing apears inside the same div which resizes to fit the size of the result.
The problem I'm trying to solve is that although the resizing and the positioning of the div works for Firefox it doesn't for IE7. In IE7 it does the resizing but the positioning fails Code:

I have problem here I have two div as below:
[CODE <div id="left" style="top:0px;left:0px; width:150px;">
<div id="title1" style="top:auto;left:0px; padding: 4px; overflow: auto; background-color: #8EB4E3;">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr><td></td></tr>
<tr>
<td>OUR SYSTEM</td><td width="11%" height="10"><div align="right">
<img src="../fleet/images/logos/<?=$fleetID?>.png" width="100" height="50" /></div></td>
</tr></table></div>
</div>
<div id="right" style="top:0px;left:250px; width:800px; height:100%">Map goes here.
</div>[/CODE]
The problem I am having is that when the div id="left" does not have any inner div then the right div where it contains map is at 0px. But the moment I put id="title1" in the div id="left" then the map in div id="right" does not stay at the top 0px and it goes down by quite many pixels.

Is there are way to position an element at the bottom right of a container if I don't know the height of the container?
Making it float right is obvious and easy, what I really need is to make the element float bottom/right.
I believe FireFox will give me the computed height of the container, but MSIE tells me nothing but 'auto'.
