The following code contains 2 buttons and their respective drop-down contents.
When I click the first button, the other moves by itself. How do I stop this from happening?
var coll = document.getElementsByClassName("button");
var i;
for (i = 0; i < coll.length; i++) {
coll[i].addEventListener("click", function() {
this.classList.toggle("active");
var content = this.nextElementSibling;
if (content.style.display === "block")
content.style.display = "none";
else
content.style.display = "block";
});
}
.content {
display: none;
}
<button type="button" class="button" style="position: static; left: 100;">For Copper Rollers</button>
<div class="content" style=" width: 48%; background-color: lightblue; padding: 10px; border-radius: 10px; margin-right: 5px; ">
</div>
<button class="button" type="button" style="position: static; left: 175px; ">For Rubber Rollers</button>
<div class="content" style="margin-left:50%; float: left; width: 48%; background-color: lightblue; padding: 10px; border-radius: 10px;">
</div>
If you assign position:absolute you can do some rudimentary calculations in Javascript to determine the position the content should appear at. Is this more or less the desired effect?
document.querySelectorAll('button').forEach(( bttn, index )=>bttn.addEventListener('click',function(e){
this.classList.toggle("active");
// get the bounding box for the button so we can
// get a suitable height offset for content
let bb=this.getBoundingClientRect();
// find the content and toggle display state
let div=this.nextElementSibling;
div.style.display=div.style.display=='block' ? 'none' : 'block';
// find the current style properties for the content
let style=getComputedStyle( div );
let bbd=div.getBoundingClientRect();
// calculate x / y positions for content
let x=( Math.ceil( bbd.width ) + parseInt( style.paddingLeft ) - parseInt( style.marginLeft ) ) * index;
let y=Math.ceil( bb.height ) + Math.ceil( bb.bottom );
// apply those positions to the content
div.style.top=`${y}px`;
div.style.left=`${x}px`;
// identify content by parent
div.textContent=this.textContent.replace('For ','');
}));
body{
width:100%;
height:100vh;
}
button.button{
padding:0.25rem;
}
/*
assign the absolute position
to the content divs but let
javascript calculate x/y positions.
*/
.content {
position:absolute;
display: none;
width: calc( 50% - 3rem );
background-color:lightblue;
padding:1rem;
border-radius:10px;
border:1px solid grey;
float:none;
clear:none;
margin:0 0.25rem;
}
.content:first-of-type{

<button type="button" class="button">For Copper Rollers</button>

I would go with making the dropdown content have a position: asolute (css), that way it won't affect any other elements on the page.
PS: make sure to keep accessibility in mind when making dropdowns, your current snippet unfortunately isn't.

I am making a page where there should be content on the left side and commercials in divs on the right side. The height of the left sides div is unknown. I want to add as many commercial divs as possible on the right side without making the height of the right side taller than the left side.
I have set the right sides div height equal to left sides height and then I have added overflow: hidden on the right sides div so that the commercial divs are being cut off. I don't want my commercial divs to be cut off so I would like to remove the one that is being cut off.
Here is my code https://jsfiddle.net/p9dmzoa3/
You can try below code, this will remove all those commercials DIV, which are getting cut-off :
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".right_side").css("height", $(".left_side").height());
$commercialDivs = $(".right_side").children("div.commercials");
$rightSideDivHeight = $(".right_side").height();
$tempHeight = 0;
for(var i=0;i<$commercialDivs.length;i++){
$tempHeight += $commercialDivs[i].clientHeight;
if($tempHeight>$rightSideDivHeight){
$commercialDivs[i].remove();
}
}
});
Something like this should do the thing.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".right_side").css("height", $(".left_side").height());
var j = $(".right_side").children("div").length;
for (var i = 1; i < j; i++) {
if ((($('.right_side').offset().top + $(".right_side").height()) - ($('.right_side div:last-child').offset().top + $(".right_side div:last-child").height())) < 0) {
$(".right_side div:last-child").remove();
} else {
break;
}
}
});
div.left_side {
display: inline-block;
}
div.right_side {
display: inline-block;
float: right;
overflow: hidden;
}
div.left_side_content {
height: 30px;

div.commercials {

I'm looking to learn how to do this left menu :

When you scroll down the page, the "active" menu item change.
p.s.
Is there a name for this type of menu?

Scroll Navigation
That is how we call these type of navigation bars. Basically you have to listen to the scroll event and calculate which element is in the viewport at the moment than you add a class to your navigation that marks the current menu element.
There is a nice demo built in jQuery but because jQuery is a thing of the past, I built one in Vanilla JS. See comments for explanations.
There are different ways to define which is the current element. In my Example it is the last one whose top line just passed the top line of the browser.
Working demo
window.onscroll = onScroll;
function onScroll() {
var removeActiveClass = function (elements) {
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; ++i) {
elements[i].classList.remove('active');
}
}
var anchors = document.querySelectorAll('#menu-center a');
var previousRefElement = null;
for (var i = 0; i < anchors.length; ++i) {
// Get the current element by the id from the anchor's href.
var currentRefElement = document.getElementById(anchors[i].getAttribute('href').substring(1));
var currentRefElementTop = currentRefElement.getBoundingClientRect().top;
// Searching for the element whose top haven't left the top of the browser.
if (currentRefElementTop <= 0) {
//The browser's top line haven't reached the current element, so the previous element is the one we currently look at.
previousRefElement = anchors[i];
// Edge case for last element.
if (i == anchors.length - 1) {
removeActiveClass(anchors);
anchors[i].classList.add("active");
}
} else {
removeActiveClass(anchors);
previousRefElement.classList.add("active");
break;
}
}

This is not exactly menu type, it is the way how you can position objects by html.
You can use position:Abosule property to achieve this effect:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_position_fixed
By this given divs are "flying" above the res of the page. In your case it could be a menu.
EDIT:
To sync this you need to detect when given anchor is currently seen.
It can be done by jQuery, this is sample draft of code, should explain clue of solution:
// list of header on page
var positions = [
$("#anchor1").offset().top,
$("#anchor2").offset().top,
$("#anchor3").offset().top,
];
var menu_objects= [
"#menu1",
"#menu2",
"#menu3"
];
var $w = $(window).scroll(function(){
// clear old
for(var v in menu_objects)
$(v).css({"color","white"});
for(var i=positions.length-1;i>=0;i--)
{
if(positions[i]>=$w.scrollTop())
{
$(menu_objects[i]).css({"color","red"});
break;
}
}
});
What I want:
| A | | B | | C |
^ ^
When you move the handles left and right A, B, and C resize accordingly
| A | | B | | C |
What I have is the || between B and C sliding, but not resizing B and all I get on the other one is the resize cursor. Basically C is a curtain and covers A and B. I did get min size working for C.
| A | C |
I broke somebody else's perfectly good code to get this far:
var isResizing = false,
who='',
lastDownX = 0;
$(function () {
var container = $('#container'),
left = $('#left'),
right = $('#right'),
middle = $('#middle'),
hand2 = $('#hand2'),
handle = $('#handle');
handle.on('mousedown', function (e) {
isResizing = true;
who=e.target.id;
lastDownX = e.clientX;
});
$(document).on('mousemove', function (e) {
var temp, min;
// we don't want to do anything if we aren't resizing.
if (!isResizing)
return;
min=container.width() * 0.1;
temp = container.width() - (e.clientX - container.offset().left);
if (temp < min)
temp = min;
if (who == 'handle')
right.css('width', temp);
if (who == 'hand2')
left.css('width', temp);
}).on('mouseup', function (e) {
// stop resizing
isResizing = false;
});
});

Been playing with it here: https://jsfiddle.net/ju9zb1he/5/
I was looking for a solution that required less extensive CSS. It does have one minor bug(FIXED), but hopefully this should get you started. Here is a DEMO.
Also I aimed to use DOM Traversal methods like .next() and .prev() that way it wouldn't be so attribute dependent, and would be easily reusable if you needed a feature like this multiple times on a page.
Edit - Further Explanation
The idea here is onClick of a .handle we want to gather the total width (var tWidth) of the .prev() and .next() divs relative to the .handle in the DOM. We can then use the start mouse position (var sPos) to substract the amount of pixels we've moved our mouse (e.pageX). Doing so gives us the correct width that the .prev() div should have on mousemove. To get the width of the .next() div we need only to subtract the width of the .prev() div from the total width (var tWidth) that we stored onClick of the .handle. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions, however I will likely be unavailable till tomorrow.
HTML
<div class="container">
<div id="left"></div>
<div id="l-handle" class="handle"></div>
<div id="middle"></div>
<div id="r-handle" class="handle"></div>
<div id="right"></div>
</div>
CSS
#left, #middle, #right {
display: inline-block;
background: #e5e5e5;
min-height: 200px;
margin: 0px;
}
#l-handle, #r-handle {
display: inline-block;
background: #000;
width: 2px;
min-height: 200px;
cursor: col-resize;
margin: 0px;
}
jQuery
var isDragging = false,
cWidth = $('.container').width(),
sPos,
handle,
tWidth;
$('#left, #middle, #right').width((cWidth / 3) - 7); // Set the initial width of content sections
$('.handle').on('mousedown', function(e){
isDragging = true;
sPos = e.pageX;
handle = $(this);
tWidth = handle.prev().width() + handle.next().width();
});
$(window).on('mouseup', function(e){
isDragging = false;
});
$('.container').on('mousemove', function(e){
if(isDragging){ // Added an additional condition here below
var cPos = sPos - e.pageX;
handle.prev().width((tWidth / 2) - cPos); // This was part of the bug...
handle.next().width(tWidth - handle.prev().width());
// Added an update to sPos here below
}
});
Edit
The bug was caused by 2 things.
1) On mousemove we were dividing the total width by two, instead of an updated mouse offset.
2) The sPos was not updating on mousemove, and stayed a static number based off of the click location.
Resolution
Update the sPos on mousemove that way the mouse offset is accurately based off of the previous mousemove position, rather than the click position. When this is done we can then subtract the .next() div's width from the total width. Then we subtract our current mouse position from the remaining width. The fiddle has been updated as well.
$('.container').on('mousemove', function(e){
var cPos = sPos - e.pageX;
if(isDragging && ((tWidth - handle.next().width()) - cPos) <= tWidth){
handle.prev().width((tWidth - handle.next().width()) - cPos);
handle.next().width(tWidth - handle.prev().width());
sPos = e.pageX;
}
});
Edit
Added an additional condition on mousemove to prevent the drag from exceeding the total width (var tWidth).
Can you please explain what you're trying to accomplish?
I don't believe you need to use position: absolute. The premise of absolute positioning is to override the margin and padding imposed on an element by its parent.
You don't need to do this, all elements have relative positioning by default which makes them push eachother around and don't allow overlapping.
I'm probably missing something, but I think this is what you want with nothing but some very basic CSS: http://jsfiddle.net/3bdoazpk/
<div class='first'>
asdf
</div><div class='second'>
dasdf
</div><div class='third'>
sadf
</div>
body {
margin: 0;
}
div {
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
}
.first, .third {
width: 40%;
}
.first {
background-color: red;
}
.second {
background-color: blue;
width: 20%;
}
.third {

I am new to JavaScript/CSS (basically the whole world of web dev) and I am really struggling to create the following widget. I created a picture of what I want to make to make it more clear.
The Play/Pause and Stop button are ready. Loop checkbox is no problem. But the progress bar is painful. The two markers are supposed to mark the point from where the file would start playing and where it would stop. The progress bar is also supposed to be click-able, so if I want to access a certain point in time, then its possible.
What I tried so far
jQuery UI slider: For a sliding progress bar and use that draggable slider to access a certain point in audio file. Works fine. But no markers and looks really ugly. Don't how to change it.
<progress> tag: not very flexible. Marker? Clicking?
<div> tag: there seems to be no way to get the point where I clicked.
So, what do you guys recommend? How should I proceed?
Canvas Alternative
You might want to use a canvas and draw your own progress bar element within it.
Here are some canvas progress bar tutorials:
How to create a progress bar with HTML5
A progress bar using HTML5 canvas
Doing it with <progress>
To access the clicked position within a DOMElement, you can proceed with the click event's properties: clientX and clientY (MDN Source), like so:
HTML
<div class="marker" id="StartMarker">^</div>
<div class="marker" id="StopMarker">^</div>
<progress id="progress" value="0" min="0" max="100">0%</progress>
<form id="choice">
<button id="marker1">Beginning marker</button>
<button id="marker2">Ending marker</button>
<input type="hidden" id="markerValue" value="0" />
</form>
JavaScript (not optimized)
document.getElementById('progress').onclick = function (event, element) {
/* Math.floor((event.offsetX / this.offsetWidth) * 100) */
var newProgress = event.offsetX;
document.getElementById('choice').style.display = "block";
document.getElementById('markerValue').setAttribute('value', newProgress);
document.getElementById('marker1').onclick = function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
var newProgress = document.getElementById('markerValue').value;
var progressBar = document.getElementById('progress');
var startMarker = document.getElementById('StartMarker');
var stopMarker = document.getElementById('StopMarker');
var marker = startMarker;
marker.style.display = "block";
startMarker.style.display = "block";
startMarker.offsetTop = (progressBar.offsetTop + progressBar.offsetHeight + 2) + "px";
startMarker.style.left = newProgress + "px";
};
document.getElementById('marker2').onclick = function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
var newProgress = document.getElementById('markerValue').value;
var progressBar = document.getElementById('progress');
var startMarker = document.getElementById('StartMarker');
var stopMarker = document.getElementById('StopMarker');
stopMarker.style.display = "block";
stopMarker.offsetTop = (progressBar.offsetTop + progressBar.offsetHeight + 2) + "px";
stopMarker.style.left = newProgress + "px";
};
};
CSS
.marker {
position:absolute;
top:24px;
left:9px;
display:none;
z-index:8;
font-weight:bold;
text-align:center;
}
#StartMarker {
color: #CF0;
}
#StopMarker {
color:#F00;
}
#choice {
display:none;
}
progress {
display: inline-block;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 300px;
height: 20px;
padding: 3px 3px 2px 3px;
background: #333;
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#2d2d2d, #444);
background: -moz-linear-gradient(#2d2d2d, #444);
background: -o-linear-gradient(#2d2d2d, #444);
background: linear-gradient(#2d2d2d, #444);
border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
border-radius: 15px;
box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, .2);
}
Live Demo
Using simple blocks for that is possible. Your layout would look like this (simplified):
HTML
<div class="progressbar">
<div class="bar">
<div class="progress" style="width: 30%;">
</div>
</div>
<div class="markers">
<div class="right" style="width: 70%;">
<div class="marker">
</div>
<div class="left" style="width: 20%;">
<div class="marker">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
SCSS
.progressbar {
width: 20em;
background: grey;
.bar {
height: 2em;
.progress {
background: blue;
height: 100%;
}
}
.markers {
height: 1em;
background: white;
.right {
height: 100%;
background: red;
.marker {
width: 1em;
height: 100%;
background: green;
position: relative;
float: right;
}
.left {
background: white;
height: 100%;
}
}
}
}
The operations can be quite difficult
jQuery
$('.bar').click(function(e){
$(this).find('.progress').css('width', (e.offsetX / this.offsetWidth)*100+'%');
});
will set the Progressbar properly on clicks.
For the markers though you will need mousedown, mousemove, mouseleave events, since you got 2 of them.

tbl.style.position = "absolute";
tbl.style.top = "30%";
}
</script>
myTable has position: absolute; - that will always go over something with position: static;
z-index will work, but both elements (the table and the menu have to both have z-index and position: absolute;
Without seeing the HTML it's pretty hard to detect the problem.
Example
Here's a fiddle describing the problem: http://jsfiddle.net/rZysU/
.a1's z-index is set to 1000 but it still is not visible. b1 is visible although its z-index is only 1. (it even is the same with -1)
In General
If you nest HTML elements then each nesting level creates its own z-index stack. If you set the z-index of an element inside a deeper node in the DOM tree then it might happen that although you've set the z-index to a high value it still will be underneath other elements that reside in a higher hierarchy level of the DOM.
Example:
div1
div1a
a (z-index= 100)
b (z-index= 101)
c (z-index= 102)
div1b
d (z-index= -1)
e (z-index= 1)
d will still be drawn on top of a as div1b is given a higher z-index because it is listed after div1a and HTML renderers draw one node after another and define z-indicies by that way if you don't provide it by your CSS definition.
