Position Absolute Does Not Go Above A Dropdown (<select>...)

Jul 23, 2005

I'm using the code below to display a menu that opens when the mouse
goes over the main menu item (try it in your browser to understand the
behaviour).

It uses "position:absolute" and a switch between "display='none'" and
"display=''".

However the problem is that
- in Internet Explorer 6 the dropdown (<select>...) always hides the
menu
- in Mozilla the menu is hidden initially but after clicking on the
text "Select" it isn't hidden.

How does that come and how can I overcome it?
I want the menu to be above the other stuff when it comes up. Code:

Resolved With Google Chrome (position:fixed Horizontal Position:absolute Vert?

May 13, 2010

I'm new to javascript and am not sure why this works in firefox and not chrome. I am trying to create a script that keeps an object fixed horizontally while bing positioned absolute vertically. if I replace the toPP variable in document.getElementById('fire').style.top = toPP; with say '50px' it will move the element down 50 pxs, but how I have it currently it doesn't do anything in chrome

<script type="text/javascript" >
window.onscroll = function()
{
if( window.XMLHttpRequest ) {
var x = 0 -document.documentElement.scrollTop;
var toP = String(x);
var toPP = toP + "px";

Get The Absolute Position Of A DIV?

Jun 28, 2009

Before you immediately give me an answer, let me describe fully what I'm trying to do, as it's not as simple as the title suggests.

I need to get the absolute position of a DIV (top and left properties) relative to the viewport/screen.

I've tried using .offsetTop and .offsetLeft, but these return the top and left properties relative to the DIV's immediate parent element, not the viewport (unless of course the DIV is top-level and not contained in any other DIVs).

So, is there any way to retrieve the absolute position of a DIV relative to the viewport, even if that DIV is nested in other DIVs?

Best Way To Position Absolute Div?

Jan 18, 2009

Its said that placing the absolute div within a relative div is a best option to correctly achieve the margins within that relative div. However, I'm changing the marginTop and marginLeft via javascript and after some of the changes it shows the absolute divs in incorrect positions in IE.

What i want to do is calculate the vertical-middle right-sided position of text fields in x, y meaning in top and left margins. How can I do that?

Repositioning A Position:absolute Div?

Feb 6, 2008

I'm having some trouble with absolute positioning:

I have a main div, with some nested divs inside, one of which is "position:absolute". When a user hits a button, a message will appear at the top of the div (by using "myDiv.style.visibility = 'block'"), which pushes all other sections, relative or absolute, down appropriately. This is what i want.

However when the message div is clear (using "myDiv.style.visibility = 'none'"), all the relative divs go back to their original position, but the absolute div stays at its pushed down position.

ive tried several complicated schemes to correct this, including setting the absolute sections top to certain values, and it doesn't want to move back.

Does anyone know a solution to this problem, or of a way to "refresh" a divs position?

Finding Absolute Position

Sep 30, 2005

I got a script from brothercake which gets the absolute position for an element. Its pretty neat - recursively adding up offsets. I got it from the image transition scripts on his site.

However, this script uses offsetTop, offsetLeft and offsetParent, which dont seem to be supported by FireFox (or maybe I'm doing something wrong).

Here's brothercake's script:

getRealPosition = function()
{
this.pos = (arguments[1] == 'x') ? arguments[0].offsetLeft : arguments[0].offsetTop;
this.tmp = arguments[0].offsetParent;
while(this.tmp != null)
{
this.pos += (arguments[1] == 'x') ? this.tmp.offsetLeft : this.tmp.offsetTop;
this.tmp = this.tmp.offsetParent;
}
return this.pos;
}

It seems to work for Opera and IE - but not FF. Cant say for other browsers. I've come to rely on it for a part of my 'cross-browser' page. Any thoughts on what I can do?

What I can't figure out is why it seems to work fine on brothercake's site - even in FireFox. I'm supposing that the positioning script must be working because the images appear in the right spot.

Controls Not Clickable After Using Position:absolute?

Aug 23, 2010

I am using position absolute to stick a table header to the top of a div. In the screenshot, under the menu is a div, the buttons and drop downs are at the "top" and grid starts from half way down, now when user scrolls till header is out of view i show the header at the "top" with position absolute. then when user scrolls back down and onto original position the buttons and drop downs are now again at the top exactly at the position where the header was shown, once the header has been shown all the buttons and the drop down are no longer clickable, i.e. there is no reaction, no dropdown shown and no click... whats happening is that IE is thinking that that area at the top where the header was is now invalid, or still occupied by the header or something like that? Its like the buttons and drop downs are kind of "behind" the area where the header was therefore nothing is clickable...

And proof of this is that i gave some <BR> spacing to the buttons and drop downs so that they are not at the up most, but halfway down... and things work fine... whats IE up to? or is there some coding i need to do... below is the code for the header to float

[it may be coz when the header is not to be shown i set the position to ' ', but i have tried with relative, fixed and static as well to no avail...]

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var floating_header = function() {
this.header = document.getElementsByTagName('THEAD')[0].getElementsByTagName('TR')[0];

Absolute Position Of The Page On The Screen?

Sep 15, 2010

I have following problem: I get screen coordinates something (which might not be a mouse) and have to convert them relative to an element on a page.

Inside a page it's simple: use the offsets to the parent elements.
On the other side the start are the window.screenX and window.screenY coordinates.

The only problem now is how to find out the offset from the page to the window, i.e. the size of the toolbars and stuff? What might be interesting are the mozInnerScreenX/Y attributes of an window. But these are only present in firefox, obviously, which is not sufficient.

A hack would be a calibration page which uses a mouse event to calculate the missing offset using evt.pageX/Y and evt.screenX/Y. But this might not work, since a mouse might not be present.

JQuery :: How To Know The Exact Absolute Position Of An Element In The Browser

Jan 22, 2011

i would like to know the absolute position of an element (e.g. <LI>) in the browser. i nned to know it in order to place juste beside another element (e.g. submenu).

for example: i have a <li> tag which is at 400px from my browser left border (because it is inside a div which is screen centered). this <li> has a width of 180 px so if i want to know the most left position for my submenu, i should get 400 + 180 = 580 px (from the browser left border).

i tried offset but without success. in fact it returns me 0.

JQuery :: Select Dynamically An Option In A Dropdown Select?

Aug 11, 2010

According to [URL] intended way for jQuery to change dynamically the selected option of a dropdown select control isassigningthe desired text instead of the value. I found this way veryinconvenient (data structures usually deal with value codes, not value descriptions) and it seems to work only sometimes.

Trying different options I came out with this approach that seems to do the job so
far:

function setSelect(pID,pSelectedValue)
{
$('#'+pID + ' option:selected').removeAttr('selected');

Dropdown Hover Menu Based On Scrolling Position?

Oct 20, 2010

there was any premade dropdown menu which opens based on what position you are on the page.

For example, when I'm on the top of the page and hover the mouse over the dropdown menu, the menu opens upward instead of downward because the navigation is mid-screen. But if I was to be more than halfway across the screen and still see the navigation as it was on top of the screen and hover the mouse over it, the dropdown menu opens downward as oppose to up.

JQuery :: Getting Position Fails On Select Elements?

May 19, 2010

I'm trying to grab the X/Y co-ordinates of given elements on a page, and scroll to them using the window.scrollTo() method. This is working for standard text boxes (INPUT objects), but for drop down lists (SELECT objects), the JQuery .position() method isn't returning the result object:
var el = $("#[id$=" + elements[i][1]);
if(el.position() && el.position().top) {
var top = el.position().top;
var left = el.position().left;
window.scrollTo(top, left);
break;
}
This works just fine for text boxes, but will not work for selects/drop down boxes. I've stepped through the code and the element el is always populated correctly, so its not the get statements that is at fault. If I inspect the value of el.position().top I get 'null or not an object' and el.position() returns 'undefined'.

Now suppose if I type red into the textbox then leave the textbox then automatically the dropdown list value should be selected to red value if it contains red value item.
