JavaScript - Absolute Position Of Image On Top Of Another Image, What To Do If Browser Resizes

I have created a lightbox for user display on my site. The lightbox is triggered by an onclick link. Works great but I would like to make one switch to it.

I would like the lightbox to appear position:fixed; top:10px; onclick. Then if the user scrolls I would like the lightbox to appear position:absolute; top:10px;

You can see an example of this here on ESPN's website http://search.espn.go.com/first-take/videos/6. If you click any video it appears position fixed onclick but then position absolute on scroll. This is what I have so far. It shows it all position fixed onclick as I desire, but stays that way on scroll.

PHP Code:

<a href = "javascript:void(0)" 
    onclick = "document.getElementById('light<?php echo $count;?>').style.display='block';
    document.getElementById('light<?php echo $count;?>').style.position = 'fixed';
    document.getElementById('light<?php echo $count;?>').style.top = '10px';
    document.getElementById('fade<?php echo $count;?>').style.display='block'">
    
    ... [link] ...

</a>

PHP Code:

<div id="light<?php echo $count;?>" class="log-lightbox-content-wrapper">
    ... [lightbox content] ...
</div>

PHP Code:

<style>
.log-lightbox-content-wrapper {display: none; position:absolute; top: -45px; left: 50%; margin-left: -456px; width: 900px; padding: 16px;background-color: white;z-index:1002; overflow: auto; border-color:#666; border-radius:5px; border-style:solid; border-width:5px; min-height:600px; height: auto !important; height:600px;}
</style> 


Progress: http://instride.info/admin - Click tab that says log - Then click any log post to view light box

Someone please point me in the right direction. Basically what i'm trying to do is, Post up a nice image map up top of a page with several diff images (all same dimensions), and when the user clicks on one of the images, it loads down in a section below, without reloading the page.

I have drawn a small diagram to show you guys what i'm talking about. So far, all I've found, are scripts that use some sort of lightbox that covers the entire page.

I would like to try to stay away from flash if I can. The main browser, does'nt necessarily have to be one big image with a map, but it would make it look so much better if it looked matched the games menu. I'm trying to replicate a stats game menu, inside my webpage, so ppl can browse just like they do in game.

Example:



What I'm trying to replicate:



When a weapon on this menu is clicked, it loads up on the right, and gives a brief description. I"m just trying to replicate the functionality of this menu really.

So are there any kind of scripts out there that already exist, where I could accomplish this? or how would i go about this.

just need someone to point me in the right direction. Thanks a million

Hello everyone, I just stumbled across this forum and thought maybe someone here could help me with a few coding alterations.

I would like to position the rss feed selection fields on this feed output so I can scroll the feed with the selection fields remaining stationary.

Code:

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="rss_include/feed-icon-red.png">
<style language='text/css'>
  @import url('rss_include/style.css');

    else if (window.ActiveXObject)
        XMLHttpRequestObject = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

	function changeOptions()

Basically, i have an image that i want it to be resized when i maximize and change browser size, so it is always centered. I have to use only javascript. I tried many window.resize functions but nothing works. Lets say the image is called 0000.jpg. Anyone has any ideas how to make this?

Thank you in advance.

Hello All,

How can I prevent a browser from letting an image drag.

I've tried this snippet:
Code:

document.onmousemove = function() {return false};

Thanks in advance!

Just curious if anyone has a crossbrowser version of the Popup Image Viewer script that's in the Post a JavaScript section. Seems that all of the ones in there (original and modifications) are browser specific, whereas I need something that will work for all browsers, or at least IE and firefox.

My question is twofold. First, is there a way to have a javascript file display an externally hosted image when opened with a browser? I mean such a way where the URL of the javascript file can be referenced by an html document and display an image?

Furthermore, is there a way to have this be a different image depending on the time of day and timezone of the user, specifically one image in the morning and a different image in the evening?

I apologize if I posted this in the wrong section, but I wasn't sure where else this could go.

Hi. Sort of new to Javascript.

I am implementing a zoom in feature, but actually tricking the user as a full screen image is simply being stretched.

I plan to apply it to several pages, and don't really fancy working out the pixels for each.

I believe that if you simply put width: 150% height 150% it will change the image size relative to the browser. I don't want that, I want it relative to the original image size. Could I do sort of height*1.5 or something? How would I write that if so? Thanks!

Code:

<script>

$('#in').click(function() {
  $('#drag img').animate({
    width: '150%',
	height: '150%',
  }, 5000, function() {
    // Animation complete.
  });
}); 
</script>

i have image button i need to display image .if the size of the image button is 100*100 and image size is 50*50 .the remaining space of the image button should be empty.the image should not stretch.

can any one guide me i am new to programming

Thanks in advance!!!

I'm still struggling for a solution here. I have a background image that auto-resizes based on browser window / screen resolution. I want my top header menu, which requires links, to act in the same way and be in roughly the same position/size based on browser window. Is this possible? In the sample below, the image is just part of the background image to give you an idea of the look I am trying to duplicate.

Is there a Javascript out there that will help me or will I be stuck having to rework my design?

This site is really driving me crazy.

Hi,

I am a JavaScript novice, and appreciate any help you can give.

For design reasons, we did not like the appearance of a still video on our web page. So I write a short little script to replace a picture that we selected, with the code for a flash player, once the image was clicked.

The code works exactly as designed on IE and Chrome. It works *almost* as designed on Firefox and Safari -- but on those browsers the "fullscreen" button in the plugin doesn't work.

It is *not* a problem with the FlowPlayer code. If I simply put the FlowPlayer code into a web page, it works fine. I think that somehow some browsers do not want to let the FlowPlayer expend outside of the JavaScript object box I created -- though that is just an hypthesis.

If you have any insight or suggestions, I would appreciate it.

Let me start of by saying that I'm a designer, not a programmer so I'll apologize in advance for having very little knowledge of javascript.

I found a free script for a auto-advancing slideshow that allows you to give each image in the slideshow a unique link. My problem is that when you click on one of the pictures the link opens in a new window instead of loading in the default browser window. I have tried to search google for an answer but my lack of javascript knowledge has left me scratching my chin.

Here's the code in the head of my page:

Code:

<script language="JavaScript1.1">
<!--
/*
JavaScript Image slideshow
*/

var slideimages=new Array()
var slidelinks=new Array()

function slideshowimages(){
  for (i=0;i<slideshowimages.arguments.length;i++){
  slideimages[i]=new Image()
  slideimages[i].src=slideshowimages.arguments[i]
  }
}

function slideshowlinks(){
  for (i=0;i<slideshowlinks.arguments.length;i++)
  slidelinks[i]=slideshowlinks.arguments[i]
}

function gotoshow(){
  if (!window.winslide||winslide.closed)
    winslide=window.open(slidelinks[whichlink])
  else
    winslide.location=slidelinks[whichlink]
    winslide.focus()
}
//-->
</script>

and here's the Body code:

Code:

<script>
		<!--
		//configure the paths of the images, plus corresponding target links
		slideshowimages("images/services/3d_meter.jpg", "images/services/3d_prototype.jpg", "images/services/3d_stage_renderings.jpg", "images/services/atsite.jpg", "images/services/netstar.jpg", "images/services/photo_manipulation.jpg", "images/services/powerpoint.jpg")
		slideshowlinks("/", "/", "/", "/", "/", "/", "/")

		//configure the speed of the slideshow, in miliseconds
		var slideshowspeed=8000
		var whichlink=0
		var whichimage=0

		function slideit(){
  		if (!document.images)
    		return
    		document.images.slide.src=slideimages[whichimage].src
    		whichlink=whichimage

  		if (whichimage<slideimages.length-1)
    		whichimage++
  		else
    		whichimage=0
    		setTimeout("slideit()",slideshowspeed)
		}
		slideit()
		//-->
		</script>

fooling around with it, I think I have determined that my problem is the window.open in the function gotoshow, but again, I'm a designer who has little knowledge of how this actually works.

If it helps, here is a link to my site where I have the slideshow, http://gravescreativedesign.com/services.html All of the images link to the index page for my site at the moment for testing purposes, but these images will eventually link to different urls within my portfolio section of my website.

Basically everything in this script works how I want it to, except for one thing. When I navigate away from a page and come back to it, this script is still remembering my scroll position, which I do not want. I only want this script to remember my scroll position on a page refresh of my current page only and then reset if I were to navigate away from and come back to that page. How would I go about modifying this script to work how I want it to?

Thanks in advance for any help given.

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.

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 http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/...on/source.html 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.

I've tried googling for an answer but I can't seem to find a workable solution, mostly I've been coming up with absolute position scripts or 'just use jquery' answers.
