How To Set Position Of Layer Relative To A Table Cell??
Nov 26, 2002
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:
document.getElementById('layerHeader').style.left = document.getElementById('centerCol').style.left;
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?

I have generated a table of given dimensions (say 5x5) using JavaScript. Using Mouse events, I want to add a functionality which would display the position of the cell in that table whenever mouse pointer hovers over a particular cell.Here's what I have done.
<html>
<body>
<h1 align="center"><u>ITA Tutorial</u></h1>[code]...
I tried adding onMouseover event in the <TD> tag but somehow the whole table disappears when I do that.

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:
cell = document.createElement("td");
cell.appendChild("sometext");
cell.className = "cellStyle";
tableRow = document.getElementById(theTableRowId);
tableRow.appendChild(cell);
How would I get the left position of each cell added?

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?

Is there any way in Javascript to find the position of an element relative to the screen rather than the browser viewport? I can't find anything.
Is this possible? The reason I ask is I wish the values to be used in Java, which needs coordinates relative to the screen.

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 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 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:

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 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?

left:150px;
top:150px;
background-color:blue;
height:100;
width:100;}
HTML
<div id="box">

The problem is the alert is blank and I can't understand why.

I need some help on how to reposition a layer depending on the position of an image? I know this should be somewhere in the forum, but I searched without success.
I mean like this:
<body onload="movemylayer()">
<img src="1.gif" id="myimage">
<div id="mylayer"></div>
</body>
...And when the page is loaded the layer moves infront of the image.

I've got an example here: [URL]
This is a setup for a product listing within a table. I wish to move the <table> with id="item_Tbl" relative in position to the <span> id="tablerelative" so it's positioned either above or below this span.
I'm guessing this may not even need javascript it maybe just a CSS change? But either method is welcome as a response?

I am trying to learn JavaScript--(complete newbie--and don't know C or
C++). I've been reading "The Book of JavaScript" by Thau.
I don't see anything about table properties in the book. (I would like
to try to write a script so that the background color in a cell in a
table changes color (between two or three specified colors)). How do I
get at the background color property in a table cell?
