similar to: Position.cumulativeOffset issues?

Hi all, I''m sure I''m missing something obvious. I add prototype.js and my custom js file in the head: <script src="prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="my_js_file.js" type="text/javascript"></script> my_js_file.js looks like this: Event.observe(window, ''load'', loadTasks,

I''m having some trouble using Element#cumulativeOffset and Element#cumulativeScrollOffset to absolutely position an element right under a link in certain browsers. I made a couple of tests to illustrate the issue, which can be found here: http://www.jeffreykeen.com/sandbox/position. But in summary, I''ve found two cases which seem to be problematic. 1. If the link has a

I have a page where I am replacing a table element after the page has loaded. I get an error (on ie 6) when prototype.js calls cumulativeOffset. For the new table element, requesting the element.offsetParent property results in an "unspecified error" that brings my whole page to a crashing halt. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks, Cathy -------------- next part

I''m trying to understand the Position object. Specially the various offset methods. From looking at the code I think I may understand them but I wanted to run it by the group to make sure I had a clear understanding. realOffset - This returns the coordinates of the element as if none of the elements on the page are scrollable from the document edge. cumulativeOffset - This returns

Hey All, I have a fairly basic question about the prototype.js library. First, I''ve been looking for documentation on this and I have yet to find it. If any of you know of any, please let me know. Since I''m new to both the scriptaculous and prototype libraries could someone explain why I would want to use the cumulativeOffset method and not to just grab the offset off

I have been trying to write a selector function for Autocompleter.Local that will show a predefined Array and will scroll automatically to the first match. I have had success with with getting my list to populate and show all of the choices, however I cannot get it to scroll to the first match. Since I build the JS Array I can know exactly how many items are in the list going into my selector,

Thomas, I''m mostly writing this to you. A couple weeks ago I grabbed the latest SVN version of dragdrop.js because I needed the auto-scroll functionality. I just fixed something in that script that wasn''t working correctly and thought you might want to hear about it. You may have already caught it since I grabbed the script but here it is anyway. In the updateDrag() function

Does the duplicate clone method of Position serve a subtle purpose that I don''t understand? I feel kind of foolish even asking, but ... I just don''t get it. I''ve been looking at this for a couple days now and as far as I can tell, the first definition is useless as it gets overlaid by the second one. I don''t see any closure trickery going on here, either.

Hi guys! i know prototype can create custom events and can subscribe to it, but is there already a library for this? thanks! -- <script> ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// REDBAKS=function (){ var b,r,i,a,n="b=''646f63756d656e742e777269746528225"+ "4686572652773206d6f7265207468616e206f6e65207761792"+

Hi there, is it possible to maintain the elements order in DOM when using Effect.Move()? Currently the Move effect will change the element position (using top and left style attrs), this works quite well too, but what I''d like is to change the elements position as well. Consider the following example: html: ... <div id="a">First</div> <div

Hello, I have a draggable window. I would like to have it so that when they come back to the page with the draggable window that it remembers where they left it when they last visited. How would I get the final position after the dragging has been stopped? I have been looking threw the wiki and couldn''t find anything.

I noticed that in a case where I use Position.clone, the element with the cloned position is displayed somewhere off. My understanding of positioning is a bit shaky at times, but I think clone needs to take into account the scroll offsets as shown below. Michael var Position = { ... clone: function(source, target) { source = $(source); target = $(target);

If anyone is intrested, i was hardly missing such a feature in prototype (for displaying well formatted error dialogs and things like that): Position.center = function(element){ var options = Object.extend({ zIndex: 999, update: false }, arguments[1] || {}); element = $(element) if(!element._centered){

Hi, 1. I have 2 panes, each having approximately 45-50 slides, all the slide images are 110x82 pixels in size, enclosed in their respective div''s. 2. These divs are further enclosed in a parent div, which is defined as a Sortable on page load. 3. There is a destination div on the RHS also. Sortable.create("div_leftDiv", {ghosting:true, revert: true, dropOnEmpty:true,

Actually, it''s a bit more complicated than that... I have a div (we''ll call it the "portal") of a fixed size and absolute positioning, with an overflow: scroll set. Inside, I have a container div with relative positioning. This inner container has a series of absolutely-positioned elements which are draggable with a vertical constraint. The height of the container is

Haven''t seen anyone ask about this yet... why are there 2 Position.clone() methods in Prototype.js? It seems that the second would overwrite the first, and the second has lots more options. Am I missing something? Thanks, rahul _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org

While not directly related to prototype/s.a.u. I thought this would be the best place to pose this question. I apologize, if it''s off topic. I''m working on an interface where I have a bunch of list items floated to the left in a horizontal fashion. The list is inside a absolutely positioned div, with an overflow set to hidden. At one point in my script I have to remove the

hello, my draggables are located in a DIV which is position:fixed ... so my "cart" stays always at the bottom of the page. when the page gets a vertical scrollbar now, then the droppables zone gets an offset of exactly the scroll ... the same topic can be found here: Having problems with "position:fixed; bottom:0%;" and dropzone div''s Optionen

EDIT: I originally wrote this as a response to this thread (http:// groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-spinoffs/browse_thread/thread/ a735c534f89fc5cf/8d8546811cae5ee8), but it wouldn''t let me respond that that thread (presumably because of it''s age). Rather than just throw it away, I figured I''d post it here in case in can help anyone else. I built a little class to

Hello, Is it possible somehow to get mouse coordinates without using the event mechanism ? I need to get the current mouse position to initialize some div position, but not at page load Tarek _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs
