I have made a custom lightbox. What matters is that it pops up saying
Loading in a small div. I then set the visibility to hidden when I get
the data to update. Next I update the div with $
(''innerDIV'').update(updateTxt);.I then reposition it to center
on
screen based on the height and width. Then I make it visible again.
For some reason .update makes it visible before i manually do it.
If I change the line to $(''innerDIV'').innerHTML = updateTxt;
everything works perfect
The code summary is this:
$(''innerDIV'').style.visibility=''hidden'';
//$(''innerDIV'').innerHTML = updateTxt; would make it work
properly
$(''innerDIV'').update(updateTxt); //will make it visible too
soon so
you see it flicker before reposition
positionPopup(); //positions and then makes visible
I need to use update to run some JS. I have checked that the JS does
not make anything visible.

Yeah, normally you don''t want to do visibility: hidden, that keeps the element in the layout, just doesn''t show it. And that''s Element without the ''w''. ;-) On Wed, Jun 4, 2008 at 2:14 PM, Diodeus <diodeus-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Try using Elemewnt.hide(''innerDIV'') > > > $(''innerDIV'').style.visibility=''hidden'';-- Science answers questions; philosophy questions answers. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

Element.getDimensions() already does this though, if an element is hidden. -justin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

The element I am changing is absolutely positioned so it doesn''t matter that it takes up space on the page still - no one can tell. I am using visibility, as Justin said, to calculate while user can''t see it. Does this seem like a glitch? I don''t understand why update would be affecting my style settings.

Why aren''t you just using getDimensions()? It does all that work of setting the visibility to hidden if display is set to none so that the dimensions can be determined. No need to reinvent the wheel here. -justin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

Eh I found the answer after much frustration. You see I started reworking my lightbox and was testing on the worst page possible it would seem. One of my popups has a command in EXT. For some reason EXT is making the layer visible so that is my problem. I am going to look into it now. Sorry about that.
