CSS - Layers On Absolute Position From A Relative Point (?)
Not sure where to put this because it involves php, dhtml, css and layers?
But anyway I'll give it a shot here. I have a problem that I can't seem to tackle. Basically what I need is: I need to set a number of layers on an absolute position from a relative point, the topleft corner of an image of a map (that has no fixed position from the top of the page because the amount of content from the top before the image of the map can change because it is a dynamically generated page). I have: An image of a map and in a mysql table a number of sets of xy coordinates (in pixels) from the top-left corner on that image to some points on the map. (Unfortunately I can't show you the pages, but I'll try to be as clear as posssible) Trying to accomplish: A map somewhere on a page and query from a database a set of x-y-coordinates of different points, that correspond to top left corner of that map. On the exact x-y coordinates I want to display a small image of a crosshair, so that a number of points are indicated on the map with crosshairs. The points on the map (read: sets of x-y coordinates) can differ. Solution (I thought): Use layers using the <div> tag. So I use a layer to specify the location of the map. Then I query the table for all the x-y coordinates of the poins on the map and create a layer for every set of x-y coordinates. Here's the code ($cat and $de are taken from an URL): PHP Code: //get xy coordinates of primary position $locbase = mysql_query("SELECT lb_xcoord, lb_ycoord FROM locbases WHERE lb_cat_id = $cat AND lb_ad_id = $de "); $locbasered = mysql_fetch_array($locbase); $xred = $locbasered["lb_xcoord"]; $yred = $locbasered["lb_ycoord"]; //get xy coordinates of other positions on the same map $locotherbases = mysql_query("SELECT lb_xcoord, lb_ycoord FROM nuke_zc_locbases WHERE lb_cat_id = $cat AND lb_ad_id <> $de "); //position the map at coordinates 0-0 echo "<div id=\"Layer1\" style=\"position:relative; left:0; top:0; z-index:0;\"><IMG SRC=\"$img\" border=\"0\"></div>"; //position the primary position on the map in a layer on top of the map layer echo "<div id=\"Layer2\" style=\"position:relative; left:$xred; top:$yred; z-index:1;\"><IMG SRC=\"http://192.168.1.11/sites/test/crosshair.gif\" border=\"0\"></div>"; //create a loop and for each loop create a layer with based on the set of x-y coordinates and display a crosshair image in that layer $k = 3 ; while( $locothers = mysql_fetch_array( $locotherbases ) ) { $xgrey = $locothers["lb_xcoord"]; $ygrey = $locothers["lb_ycoord"]; echo "<div id=\"Layer$k\" style=\"position:relative; left:$xgrey; top:$ygrey; z-index:$k\"><IMG SRC=\"http://192.168.1.11/sites/test/crosshair.gif\" border=\"0\" ></div>"; $k++ ; } Problem 1: This all works (except for problem 2, described later) when the position statements in the tag are set to absolute. Then it will display correctly in the left hand corner and all crosshairs are positioned correctly. The thing is that I want it embedded in another page, so that it is displayed below some content that is also dynamically generated (so I can't set position to absolute, because I don't know where the content before the map stops) So I have to set it to relative and then all the divs are displayed relative to the previous tag. Since the tags are dynamically generated through a while loop, the crosshairs will all move down a blank line. Problem 2: The layers do not stack exactly as planned, first because the images of the crosshairs are displayed under the map (but the z-index builds up correctly doesn't it?) he weird thing is that when I put the <div> tag of the map image after the looped and primary crosshair div-tags, then the crosshairs are all displayed on top of the map. To my knowledge the z-index should work regardless of where the code is , no?) Anyone any idea how to do this? (or would I have to display the map and crosshairs in an <iframe>within the dynamically generated page) Thanks for any feedback! Cheers, Gurt Similar TutorialsI have having issues with IE displaying my page wrong. The page is http://]http://tampabay-online.org/cetr/about.php (or any page within that site) and the css can be found at http://tampabay-online.org/cetr/cetr.css It displays fine in Firefox and Opera but IE makes the content class lower from the top than the #right navigation bar (they should both be 20 pixels form the top) Any help much appreciated. Code: .content {
position:relative;
width:320px;
margin-left: 125px;
margin-top: 20px;
border:1px solid black;
background-color:white;
padding:10px;
z-index:3;
}
#right {
position:absolute;
width:200px;
top:20px;
left:500px;
border:1px solid black;

I am a newbie to CSS and HTML I am trying to understand how div positioning works I made a CSS and a class container where I did put some thing now I made another class say named useful which is placed inside div tags of class container white I am finding problem is when the next div element of class useful is placed then its position is not coming as I desire some one told me to use float to over come it worked when I used an image but it did not worked when it was not an image here are the contents of my CSS about which I am asking .header_container { margin:auto; height:101px; width: 1290px; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-color: #D5EDB3; border-right-color: #D5EDB3; border-bottom-color: #D5EDB3; border-left-color: #D5EDB3; } .header { background-image: url(n/mm_health_photo.jpg); height: 101px; width: 382px; } .header1 { position:relative; background-color: #D5EDB3; height:101px; width: 908px; float:left; border-left-color:#999900; border-left-width: thin; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: solid; margin-left: 381px; margin-top: -101px; } Now the problem is in above CSS margin-left and margin-top has been used which I dont think is needed following is my html code <!-- Header Container Startts --> <div class="header_container" > <div class="header"> </div> <!-- header container left image in this box --> <div class="header1"></div> <!-- the right side of header --> </div> <!--Header Finishes here --> Hi folks, Just got one of those "can I or can't I" questions that relates to position:relative and position:absolute. I have the following structure - Code: <div>
<div style="position:relative">
<ul style="position:relative">
<li>
<p>
<span style="display:block"></span>
<span style="display:block"></span>
<span style="display:block; position:absolute"></span>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
The Third Span is where I am not sure about. I'd like it to sit at the bottom right of the enclosing <p>. When I use <span style="display:absolute; bottom:2px; right:2px>, the whole span disappears - not exactly sure where it vanishes to. Without the bottom and right declarations, the span stays put. There is sufficient space within the <p> for the <span> to move about. This absolute positioning worked fine without the relative div and relative ul - so I am assuming that's where my issue lies. BUT, I need the outer structure and it's not an option to change anything except the third <span>. Question is: Is what I am attempting going against the grain and something that just isn't going to work? If so, what steps can I take to position the contents of the <span> where I need it? I have tried making the <span> fit the width of the <p> and then positioning the internal contents to text-align:right. I can't do a padding-top or margin-top as the content in the second span is variable. Any clever ideas? I am trying to run a javascript that constructs a menu but must use absolute positioning. I can put the menu correctly where I want it by setting parameters of left and top from origin. However... this doesn't work too well for a page consisting of 800px tables centered for looking good in any resolution 800x600 and up. So I was wondering if it is possible to use absolute positioning and define an origin using anchor tags or something like that. Any help please? Is it somehow possible to stretch a containing (relatively positioned) div vertically around its child p's, which are absolutely positioned, without setting the height of the parent? I have tried the following code, which - obviously - does not work: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <div style="position: relative; width: 764px; border: solid 1px #C63949; background-color: grey;"> <p style="position: absolute; left: 255px; top: 29px; width: 164px; height: 113px; background-color: orange;"> </p> <p style="position: absolute; left: 25px; top: 27px; width: 198px; height: 175px; background-color: blue;"> <a title="x.jpg" href="x.jpg"> <img alt="x.jpg" src="x.jpg"/> </a> <br/> <strong>description</strong> </p> <p style="position: absolute; left: 255px; top: 151px; width: 168px; height: 164px; background-color: red;"> another div </p> <p style="position: absolute; left: 436px; top: 34px; width: 238px; height: 138px; background-color: green;"> <a title="y.jpg" href="y.jpg"><img alt="y.jpg" src="y.jpg"/> </a> </p> <p style="position: absolute; left: 29px; top: 220px; width: 182px; height: 153px; background-color: yellow;"> <a title="z.jpg" href="z.jpg"> <img alt="z.jpg" src="z.jpg"/> </a> <br/> <strong>description</strong> </p> testing testing testing </div> </body> </html> The problem is, I am using a online editor which creates the code for the child. I cannot change that css code. I am able to add to it, or change the css for the parent. If you have a suggestion how I can stretch the containing div, so it goes just below the lowest p, I would be very happy! EDIT: I just read on http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=AbsoluteOrFloatLayout "There is no way to instruct other parts of the page to start or end with respect to the absolutely positioned element" If this is true, than is there another way I can solve this problem? Hello Can anybody explain me the difference between the absolute and the relative positioning methods? If i use nested <span> elements in a table row which one is suitable? And also what the "Z-index" property tells us? I am so confused with these terms nowadays.And waiting your help. Thank You Very Much... Hi, guys I am working on this css issue and could use your expertise. It follows the basic principles of the article http://www.stopdesign.com/articles/absolute/. But I cant seem to get it to work. Here is the issue I am trying to have some text that appears at the top of source code be displayed down at the bottom of the page. The issue is with validation error messages it pushes the page down and then the text starts to overlap. To see it in action look at: https://www.homeloancenter.com/HomeEquity/HomeEquity.aspx I would greatly appreciate any help you can give. Or a push in the right direction. Hi, I'm not sure if this is possible or not, but I can't get it to work accurately, and I wondered if anyone could give me some help. I would like to position a layer at an absolute position (T:128 L:253) which is no problem, but then I would like that layer to have a relative width from that fixed point, expanding/contracting to whatever size the browser is. I've tried several different things, but can't seem to get this particular setup. If I set the width of the layer to 100%, the layer positions itself correctly on the page, but pushes beyond the right hand side of the browser causing a horizontal scroll. Has anyone done this before? Am I missing something critical? or is this impossible to do with layers/css Thank you! Hi, i think i use too many DIV tags. How can I get around this problem? Is there any direction you think you can push me to? The homepage is here http://www.chocolateriewanders.com/...lder/index.html an image explaining the layout of the graphics is he and another question: would you ever consider to combine CSS and tables? i ask because of this design, that i have .... the main box is kinda easy to arrange in tables, i don't really know yet if i can manage to make it entirely in css .... any ideas are appreciated EDIT: okay - starting from scratch Hi, I have a problem that seems like it's on the edge of solveability but I haven't hit on it yet. I have a page that's layed out like this: http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/alexmarsz/CSSProblem1a.jpg And most of the time it's fine. There's an image in BackgroundDiv with a javascript function that resizes the image to fit the screen, and then three divs are absolute within it, with BottomDiv then relative below. The problem is that ColumnLeft has a variable length. Sometimes it gets long and busts out of BackgroundDiv. Which would be fine if BottomDiv would politely push down like it does when BackgroundDiv expands. But it doesn't. Instead, ColumnLeft overlaps, as seen he http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/alexmarsz/CSSProblem1b.jpg If you want to see it in action, here is a mock-up: http://www.simunomics.com/Mockup-NewLayout.php If your screen is wide it may not bust out, but narrow your browser down to ~1000px or imagine the LeftColumn being longer and you'll see what I mean. The Divs are structured in the HTML like this: Code:
<div id="BackgroundDiv" onload="resizeImage('BkgImage');" style="min-height:840px">
<div id="TwoColumnInfoBox" align="center">
</div>
<div id="ColumnLeft" class="FactoryBox">
</div>
<div id="ColumnRight" class="FactoryBox">
</div>
<img onload="resizeImage('BkgImage');" id="BkgImage1" src="Images/FactoryForm.JPG" width="100%" />
</div>
<div id="BottomDiv">
</div>
And the css looks like this: Code:
#BackgroundDiv {
color: #FFFFFF;
margin-left: 210px;
margin-top: 10px;
padding: 10px;
}
#TwoColumnInfoBox{
position:absolute;
margin-top:20px;
right:70px;
margin-left:auto;
z-index:50;
background-image:url(Images/InfoBackground.GIF);
color:#000000;
height:150px;
width:250px;
}
#ColumnLeft{
position:absolute;
margin-left:5%;
margin-top:50px;
z-index:30;
}
#ColumnRight{
position:absolute;
right:5%;
margin-top:200px;
z-index:28;
}
.FactoryBox{
color:#FFFFFF;
width:300px;
font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size:14px;
}
#BottomDiv {
color: #FFFFFF;
margin-left: 210px;
margin-top: 10px;
padding: 10px;
}
Just to address some considered but unfeasible options (so far as I know), if I float ColumnLeft I can't position it over the image, so it has to be absolute. And if I use the image as a background attribute, I can't dynamically resize it. (Not until CSS 3 anyway.) Again, I feel like this is close but not-quite-there, like there should be some sort of wrapper I can make to get BottomDiv to respect the proper distance. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Ok I have two layers positioned on the bottom left and right of my page as you can see here.. The problem is when I resize the page the two layers move up with it and then if I use the scroll wheel they dont go back to the bottom and they stay where they are. Anyone know how I can get it so if I were to resize the page the two elements would stay at the bottom. I tried that footer demo that everyone posts the link for but I couldnt get it to work for the case I have. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks , appreciate any help you can give me. Hello, i'm making a new site and i did the layout in photoshop, then i did the slices and i came out with this layout: _http://chromex.altervista.org/cse/CSE.htm The problem is now to add the content since i have to use Layers Visibility. But i cant make them stay in the same place. When i resize the window, the layer doesnt stay in the same place Any solution? PS: click on contatti in the layout to show the layer I was under the understanding that an element positioned absolutely is positioned in context to the closest parent object that has positioning of absolute or relative, and barring that, the body. I have quite simple code: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div style="position:relative; height:50px; width:250px; background:#69c;"> <input type="text" style="position:absolute; top:5px; left:0; right:0;"> </div>
I would expect this to be top-aligned with 5 pixels of blue showing, and stretched the width of the containing div, but it's not. It's the correct height from the div but not the sides of the container - can anyone tell me why that is, or what should be done ( short of width:100%; )?

please help me to fix this problem thank you chathura Hello, I am trying to absolute position two elements within a relatively positioned DIV. My relatively positioned DIV is necessary to center my content on the page. The elements within this DIV must be placed in the upper left corner of the DIV. The reason why is because I want them to be placed on top of one another. Here is the code I have thus far: <div> <div id="elem1Container" style="height:400px; width:400px; position:relative; top:0px; left:0px;"> <img id="myItem1" src="image1.png" /> </div> <div id="elem2Container" style="height:400px; width:400px; position:relative; top:0px; left:0px;"> <img id="myItem2" src="image2.png" /> </div> </div> Can anyone help me accomplish my goal? For some reason, the second image is always below the first image. In reality I need it right on top of the first image. At the same time, these two images centered in relation to my page. That is why I placed them in a general div element. Thank you! Crystal To design my new site properly I am learning to use CSS for layout. To practice my CSS styling I want my first sample site to have, from top to bottom: 1) a simple centered H1 heading; 2) a CSS-styled drop-down menu bar centered under the heading; and 3) two columns of text (paragraphs). Finally, the footer includes a page hit counter followed by the two W3C gif files (XHTML 1.0 and CSS) in the lower-left and right corners. All together, these pieces should make up a very simple practice page for me (http://stallinswebdesign.com/vs/index.php). However, I cannot find an online tutorial to explain in great detail how to use the position property to put these things where I need them to be. I am getting very frustrated that I can't figure out through trial and error how the absolute and relative values work together to position my stuff the best way on the page. I don't what to write hack CSS. I don't want to "hard code" the whole page with absolute positioning, because it won't scale when font sizes change from visitor to visitor, right? I want to write lean, best-practice CSS. I've concluded that, after reading some online tutorials and perusing the CSS books I've recently bought, I don't have the first clue how absolute and relative positioning work. For example, I can't get that second column of paragraphs to line up alongside the left column unless I apply what looks to me like a CSS hack. Like many examples I've seen online, I'm using the <div> tag to wrap multiple pieces of data together so that I can apply styling (especially positioning) to them as a whole. In particular, the left column paragraphs are wrapped in <div id="contentLeft">, and the right column paragraphs are wrapped in <div id="contentRight">, and both together are surrounded by parental <div id="content"> tags. Still, it takes a lot of pain for me to style those three id's in the CSS file so that the two columns appear where I want them. And don't even ask me about what should be a simple footer placement! I can't get the hit counter paragraph and those two W3C images to get to the bottom of the page without absolute positioning. But when I do that, they don't scale up or down automatically as the amount of text in those two columns increases or decreases. Can you please glance at my .css and .htm files below and tell me where I'm going wrong? More importantly (teaching me to fish and not just feeding me fish :-) ) can you point me to an online or printed resource that goes into great detail explaining the uses of the position property? This is so not like tables :-D Thank you for your time and advice. Curtis my content CSS file (no menu stuff): Code:

From our President:
</p>
<p class="">
Happy New Year! This is the season to renew, reflect and recover. I trust that your new year brings a renewed interest in biking,
fitness and adventure. I can assure you that the new leadership team of the Valley Spokesmen Bicycle Touring Club
has all of these interests in mind as we enter our new jobs working for you.
</p>
<p class="">
But first I would like to recognize Susan Gibbs and her team for their contributions over the past year.
They made a significant contribution to the club and bicycling in our community during the past year.
I want to say thank you on behalf of the entire club for their service.
</p>
<p class="">
Our new leadership team includes Vice-President Mark Dedon; Treasurer Bill Well; Corresponding Secretary Bonnie Powers;
Recording Secretary Kim Autrey; Race Team Representative Bob Fusco; Newsletter Editor Marcia Seeger; TOSRD Chairperson
Francie Cushman; Newsletter Publisher Mary Murphy; and Ride Chairpersons Curtis Stallins and Peter Rathmann. Each of us
appreciates the confidence that you entrusted in us to serve you during 2008.
</p>
<p class="">
We plan on beginning our year by reflecting on what the state of governance of the club is to assure we have a solid
path forward. That includes updating the club’s by-laws, seeking professional help to deal with our fiduciary
responsibility of managing our club’s money, and aligning our responsibilities on the leadership team. Of course,
we need everyone to support Bob, Bonnie and Jim in organizing the events that make up the Cinderella Classic during the
weekend of April 4-6, 2008. Please save the dates. But most of all, we need you to ride with us.
</p>
<p class="">
I look forward to meeting every one on a ride during the coming year and greeting you at the Mid-winter party on
February 9, 2008. The location is the same as last year, however the hotel has a new name: Pleasanton Plaza by Marriott’s
(formerly Crowne Plaza). Make your reservation today!
</p>
<p class="">
Have a great ride today and every day.
<br />

Code: <div class="container"> <div>Booya</div> </div> Code:

.container div {

bottom: 0;
right: 0;

Is there any way to position the nested div relative to its grandparent vs. its parent without losing the relative positioning, or is JS the only option? Common scenario: A floated div that is set to have width:100% to fill up the entire horizontal space. Here's the problem: I want to bump the div 45px from the left (i.e. adding a 45px left margin). Having both the width: 100% and margin-left: 45px declaration in the CSS expands the div way too far (100% of the screen + 45px for the margin). Because of the design, I cannot use a 45px left padding instead. A constraint: I don't want to touch the HTML. I know an easy way would be to add a div within the floated div and use a 45px left padding on the floated div. Almost makes me pine for the IE5.0 broken box model... p.s. any one have any general advice when mixing 100% widths with absolute values for padding/margins for both floated and non-floated elements? hello everyone and thanks for reading i want to create a family tree and i can't seem to find the right solution. check the image for the way it should be. each person has its own DIV (this is done by CMS so not changeble) state: - if a person is not present, the DIV won't be there too, but all the other persons should stay where they are -> float does not work (?) - if a whole level of persons is missing (like grand-grand-parents) the rest should move up to the top -> position: absolute; not working (??) - choosing position:relative; i can't get the div's to be side-by-side when i use a negative margin-top: I can fix this, but then i NEED the first person in each level, because otherwise the rest will move up, right (???) maybe this is really simple, but can anyone please tell me which way the divs should be done with CSS? thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! here is the link to the image (I am a new user, so i am not allowed to post a complete link, please "repair" the link) www .css-info.de/forum/download/file.php?id=170 |
