I have found that in IE8 I cannot give an element the alpha filter (opacity) if it has the position style set to something (relative or absolute). An element without the position style (it is the empty string) can have opacity in IE8. I have found that in IE7 I can only give an element the alpha filter if the position style is set to something (relative or absolute). An element without a position style will not take the alpha filter. This is a major conundrum. Does anyone have any insight into this bug? Given the above, I can only achieve opacity in one of the two browsers. I have both IE8 and IE7 running in standards mode. The opacity is being set programmatically with JS like so: obj.style.filter = "alpha(opacity="+opacity+")"; where opacity is an integer between 0 and 100. Obviously I don't have any problem with any other browser doing opacity because it is different styles for them and they don't care about the position style at all. hi this is my code: <HTML> <HEAD> <script language="JavaScript"> function show(){ if (document.getElementById("menu2").style.visibility = "hidden") { document.getElementById("menu2").style.visibility = "visible"; } } function hide(){ document.getElementById("menu2").style.visibility = "hidden"; } </script> <style type="text/css"> #menu {position:absolute; left:0;top:0; z-Index:0;font-family:arial; font-size:14px; color:blue; visibility:visible} #menu2 {position:absolute; left:0;top:27; z-Index:0;font-family:arial; font-size:14px; color:blue; visibility:hidden} </style> </HEAD> <BODY> <div ID="menu" onmouseover="show()"> <table border="1" bgcolor="#FFCC00"><tr><td>File</td></tr></table> </div> <div ID="menu2" onmouseout="hide()"> <table border="1" bgcolor="#FFCC00"><tr><td>New</td></tr></table> </div> </BODY> </HTML> Now i want the second layer to appear when i hover over the first, which it does. however i want it so that when i move my cursor away from the second layer it dissapears but the problem is it doesn't seem to work. any help apreciated. thanks I'm not sure why this code executes the first if condition. What should I be doing instead? <!DOCTYPE html> <head> <style> #test { visibility:hidden; } </style> <script type="text/javascript"> function read(ID) { if(document.getElementById(ID).style.visibility == '') alert("why does this pop up?"); else if(document.getElementById(ID).style.visibility == 'hidden') alert("this is what I would expect"); else alert("never reached"); } </script> </head> <body> <form><input type="button" value="test" onclick="read('test');""> <p id='test'> testing visibility</p> </body> </html> I had some help last week with a brands a to z list which shows a div containing list of brands starting with the relevant letter onclick. It works pretty well with one flaw. The brand links within the div seem to activate the toggle function. My wish is that the layer is shown when a letter is clicked but then hides on div onMouseOut so that a different letter can be selected. Here is by code; Javascript; Code: function toggle_visibility(o,id) { var obj = document.getElementById(id); obj.style.display=(obj.style.display == 'block')?'none':'block'; if (obj.style.display!='none') { obj.style.left=zxcPos(o)[0]+20+'px'; obj.style.top=zxcPos(o)[1]+20+'px';} } function zxcPos(obj){ var rtn=[0,0]; while(obj){ rtn[0]+=obj.offsetLeft; rtn[1]+=obj.offsetTop; obj=obj.offsetParent; } return rtn; } Here is a sample of my a to z table; Code: <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td align="center" class="LN-Brands-Alphabox"><a href="#" onclick="toggle_visibility(this,'uniquename20');">U</a></td> <td align="center" class="LN-Brands-Alphabox"><a href="#" onclick="toggle_visibility(this,'uniquename21');">V</a></td> <td align="center" class="LN-Brands-Alphabox"><a href="#" onclick="toggle_visibility(this,'uniquename22');">W</a></td> <td align="center" class="LN-Brands-Alphabox"><a href="#" onclick="toggle_visibility(this,'uniquename23');">X</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" class="LN-Brands-Alphabox"><a href="#" onclick="toggle_visibility(this,'uniquename24');">Y</a></td> <td align="center" class="LN-Brands-Alphabox"><a href="#" onclick="toggle_visibility(this,'uniquename25');">Z</a></td> </tr></table> And here is an example of the Brand name div ; Code: <div id="uniquename21" onMouseOut="toggle_visibility('null','uniquename21');" style="display:none; position:absolute; border-style: solid; background-color: white; padding: 5px;"> <a href="Manufacturer-view.asp?ManID=43">VPX</a><br> <a href="Manufacturer-view.asp?ManID=44">Vyomax</a> </div> You can view the site on my test page; http://www.dp-development.co.uk/ProteinStop/site/ (Brand menu on the left nav) Thank you for any help you can give How can i change div visibility if for example index.php?site=news&show=angels http://mmwebstudio.eu/prace/2/ i have tryed to use: Quote: function MM_showHideLayers() { //v9.0 var i,p,v,obj,args=MM_showHideLayers.arguments; for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) with (document) if (getElementById && ((obj=getElementById(args[i]))!=null)) { v=args[i+2]; if (obj.style) { obj=obj.style; v=(v=='show')?'visible'v=='hide')?'hidden':v; } obj.visibility=v; } but i cannot use position absolute for my news( height of main div wont be spread) pls help I have a question: how can you use a drop down box to show another drop down box?

Thanks! Hi there! I would REALLY appreciate any help! I've got a script that toggles the visibility of a div on "dashboard.html": Code: $(document).ready(function(){ $("#add_networks_wrapper, .remove_box").hide(); $(".toggle_add_networks").show(); $('.toggle_add_networks').click(function(){ $("#add_networks_wrapper, .remove_box").slideToggle(); }); }); On "dashboard.html" it works great. The div "add_networks_wrapper" is hidden until I click the link that toggles it. What I need is a link from a different html page (say "account.html" or whatever) to open "dashboard.html" with the hidden div's visible. Any help would be very appreciated! I'm trying to implement a visibility on or off function for extra inputs when a radio button that is "yes" inside a table... it's so "Are you married?" "Yes" "No" (no is default checked) when you hit yes I want 3 more rows like a collapse or extend feature...within the same table. So basically what I want is the table to grow.. If you select "yes" then 3 more rows will be displayed that have other inputs available... do I need to construct these extra rows in javascript? or can I referance some html to do something? ..I'm just kinda lost and brain farted out today I think... any help much appreciated. Thanks! hi all, i am using this javascript code which i found on a random website to create a tooltip style popup. in my head is: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function showmenu(elmnt) { document.getElementById(elmnt).style.visibility="visible" } function hidemenu(elmnt) { document.getElementById(elmnt).style.visibility="hidden" } </script> <style type="text/javascript"> #twittericon { position: fixed; bottom:148px; left: 6%; width: 33px; height:29px; z-index: 49; } #tweet{ position:fixed; bottom:178px; left: 3%; max-width:310px; color:#333333; font-family:Arial Narrow,Arial,Sans-serif; font-size:12px;; z-index:6000; visibility: hidden; } </style> in my body is: Code: <div id="twittericon" onMouseOver="showmenu('tweet')" onMouseOut="hidemenu('tweet')"> <a href="http://twitter.com/bubblejam" target="_blank"> <img src="http://nang-nang.net/tumblr/blog/twit-bird.gif" width="33" height="29" /></a> </div> <div id="tweet"> (latest tweet generating code) </div> this creates a little bird, which displays latest tweet when rolled-over. you can see a working example of this he http://nang-nang.net/tumblr/blog/try.html my question a (1) can i add something to the javascript to create a delay when onMouseOut so that the tweet doesn't disappear immediately? also (2) could i also add something to the javascript to create a visual effect when onMouseOver or onMouseOut occurs? like a fade in effect? or slide up effect? i've been playing around with scriptaculous effects but i'm not sure how to combine that script with my script above. an answer to (1) at least would be very much appreciated! I am creating a website as part of a university project. as part of this i am trying to make a menu in the top right. after looking around i have found javascript top be the best way to do this. how would i go about making it so that when i click on one div (called map) a separate div (called mapMenu) visibility is toggled. thanks I have that image at the top of my website. What I want to do is have it be a link that toggles a div somewhere else on the board. I have been using this code: Code: <input type="checkbox" name="thebox" onclick="javascript:toggleDiv('block');">Toggle Block <div id="searchbock">*search form here, obviously*</div> <script language="javascript"> function toggleDiv(id) { var div = document.getElementById(id); var current = div.style.display; if (current == 'none') div.style.display = 'block'; else div.style.display = 'none'; } </script> But the checkbox is rather ugly and I would much rather use my custom image. Thoughts? So, I have a list of items that need to have a new preset list item appear based on what day it is. I have the date script working (to test, change the first case to some random date and change the third case to todays date - 10192010 - It will fire that document.write). What I need the cases to do though, is set the visibility of certain list items. This is just an example, there will be around 20 list items in the final project. As you can see in the first two cases, I've tried a couple different routes to no avail. Any help would be fantastic. The Code (class references are irrelevant to this example, they belong to the final project): Code: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> /* Count up from any date script- By JavaScript Kit (www.javascriptkit.com) Over 200+ free scripts here! */ function getToday(yr,m,d){ var today=new Date() var todayy=today.getYear() if (todayy < 1000) todayy+=1900 var todaym=today.getMonth() var todayd=today.getDate() var simpledate=todaym+""+todayd+""+todayy var firstItem=document.getElementById("listOne"); var secondItem=document.getElementById("listTwo"); var thirdItem=document.getElementById("listThree"); switch(simpledate){ case "10192010": firstItem.style.visibility="visible"; secondItem.style.visibility="hidden"; thirdItem.style.visibility="hidden"; break; case "10202010": document.getElementById("listOne").style.visibility="visible"; document.getElementById("listTwo").style.visibility="visible"; document.getElementById("listThree").style.visibility="hidden"; break; case '10212010': document.write("This code works...why can't I change an elements style within this case block also?") break; default: document.write("Something is wrong") } } //enter the count up date using the format year/month/day getToday(2010,07,26) </script> </head> <body> <div id="theList"> <ul class="rounded"> <li id="listOne" style="display:block;" class="arrow"><a href="#kliwComic-MvPDualBoot"><font size="1px">11/17/10 - </font>MvP: Dual Boot</a></li> <li id="listTwo" style="display:block;" class="arrow"><a href="#kliwComic-MvPTouchScreen"><font size="1px">11/18/10 - </font>MvP: Touch Screen</a></li> <li id="listThree" style="display:block;" class="arrow"><a href="#kliwComic-MvPVista"><font size="1px">11/19/10 - </font>MvP: Vista</a></li> </ul> </div> </body> </html> I'm a bit of a hack at this. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks again. I am making a framework to easily set up javascript tabs that toggle content. For example, the button "homeButton" toggles the "home" section. This is a fragment of my code and I am having two problems with it: Code: for (var i = 0 in tabs) { document.getElementById(tabs[i] + "Button").onclick = function() { hideAll(tabs); document.getElementById(tabs[i]).style.visibility = 'visible'; } } Problem number 1: Regardless of which button I click, it always registers as the last button. Problem number 2: The hideAll(tabs), another function in the program works, but Code: document.getElementById(tabs[i]).style.visibility = 'visible'; doesn't. I get left with a blank page. Any help is greatly appreciated. BTW when I use something like Code: document.getElementById(tabs[0]).style.visibility = 'visible'; outside of the for loop, it works fine. I'm quite stumped. Julian Every year or two, I want to do something SIMPLE via JS, and each time it's like i've never been there before I simply want a button to show/hide something on click, and I THINK I'm close, but it's not quite working. Here's what I'm toying with. Code: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function showHide("idName") { if(document.getElementById("idName").style.visibility=="hidden") { document.getElementById("idName").style.visibility=="visible"; } else { document.getElementById("idName").style.visibility=="hidden"; } } </script> </head> <body> <button type="button" onclick="showHide(1)">Click Me!</button> <div id="1" "style=visibility:hidden;"><p>this is the stuff.</p></div> </body> </html> How do I get the button to make that div (in)visible?? ~Mo I checked the code for hours and I can't figure out why the form doesn't work. Please, I need help, I need to finish this page. Inside the input form there is a div using visibility:hidden. The div works perfectly when it is selected (show or hide), not problem. The problem is when press the send button the form doesn't send anything, not respond, do nothing!. Any help? |
