I am trying to build a guide functionality for my application. As a part of this functionality, it is expected that a tooltip is shown next to the target HTML element and this target element is brought on top of modal backdrop that appears together with the tooltip.
The problem is that after significant effort I still cannot make HTML element show on top of the modal backdrop. Simple tricks like z-index: 10000 !important; position: relative do not help. Also changing parent elements' z-index by disabling it in Firefox Developer Tools (and leaving z-index: 10000 !important; position: relative for the target element that is supposed to be on top of the modal backdrop) does not help.
HTML of the application is quite complex with many elements. But I want to be able to "highlight" any given element by bringing it on top of the modal overlay knowing only its id. Is there an easy way to do that with JavaScript/React?
Hopefully there is a way to do this without modifying the DOM, which would be highly preferable.
UPD: Code demo - press hat button to show guide/tooltips
Remove the z-index from .form-wrapper and apply relative position with z-index for the targetted elements.
I did this by adding
d.classList.add("tooltip-active-element");
to App.js#77
Also added the class to the css file:
.tooltip-active-element {
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
background: red;
}
and removed the z-index value from other classes, the key one being the .form-wrapper class.

I currently have a list of objects (projects) that are presented to the user initially as div's that have have a 100px x 200px height/width, position absolute, and float left. This list is contained within an angular ng-repeat method (not sure that makes a difference in the overall question but figured I'd add it in just in case it does). There could be 100s of these divs on the particular project listing page. Currently, I have the page setup so that if you click one of the projects, it's details come up in a modal dialog box. This functionality is fine per the requirements for my project but I'd like to add some "umph" to it by adding in an animation that does the following:
1) If you click on one of the projects, the box expands up to fill the parent container that contains all the projects
2) As the div grows to fill the space or when it's full sized, I want to expose the details of the project itself. Essentially, when the project is unselected, it's just a title/description showing. When it is selected, the project div goes full screen, exposes all of it's details, and shows it's editable fields in the full screen version of the div.
3) When the user closes that full screen div, I'd like it to go back to it's original state in it's original position.
I'm only using the latest version of Chrome for this project so it doesn't need to be a cross browser solution. I'd prefer to keep the animation as close to pure css as possible and would prefer to leave jquery out of it.
I currently have no experience with css3 animations but got a book on it that I hope can teach me about this eventually. However, I figured I would ask in the mean time in case someone can help me out soon so I can put this functionality in while still meeting my deadline for the functionality.
Thanks in advance!
Create a second CSS class that can be added to your div element when it is selected, and removed when it is not. Something like
div {
top: 100px;
bottom: 200px;
left: 100px;
right: 300px;
transition: all 1s; /* animate changes */
}
.active {
top: 0px;
bottom:0px;
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
}
.content {
display: none; /* hide the content unless active */
}
.active .content {
display: block; /* show the content when .active class is added */
}
Make sure that the parent container fills the entire window and is itself set to positiion: absolute or position: relative. There will be a lot more details to work out as you go, but that should give you a framework to get started. You can then add or remove the .active class as needed with JavaScript.
I have a position: fixed div besides a div with long text inside a div with overflow: scroll. I want the text to scroll even if my cursor is hovering over the fixed div (which is the normal behavior when the window would be the scrolling element).
I made a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/jM2Eh/1/
I basically want the text to scroll while scrolling hovering over the red box.
UPDATE: I am using Twitter bootstrap in this particular case and updated the fiddle accordingly.
If JavaScript is needed for that, that would also be ok.
UPDATE2: I also tried this solution, but that causes weird flickering effects:

Have you tried using padding-left on your text node instead of using two columns?
http://jsfiddle.net/j5BLm/15/
.text {
padding-left: 50%;
}
Another possible solution is to use pointer-events: none if you don't care about IE:

Got a page that displays some buttons (background images, etc) and they are all clickable. What I want this specific button to do is open the target page in another browser tab using *target="_blank"*. The way it is setup as the href in a div I cannot do this. Any ideas on a work around for this?
<div class="dashboard_navbutton" href="Home/RequestRedirect" style="background-image: url('#Url.Content("~/Content/images/Form_button.png")');">
<p>Insert witty text here</p>
</div>
Just make that div an a and add display:block; to the style.
EDIT: Ensure that your chosen DOCTYPE supports the use of p inside an a element. More generally, it should use the computed style for display rather than the tag name to determine if an element is inline or block in terms of having one in the other. I believe the HTML5 one is fine: <!DOCTYPE html>.
trap the onclick event for the div, call a javascript function, have the function openthe window.
html snippet
onclick="opennewwin()"
function opennewwin(){
var awindow = window.open(loc, "blank", "height=500px,width=500px");
}
I was trying to dynamically add divs that would also function as links.
This was my solution using CSS.
First the container needs relative positioning.
.container {position: relative;}
Next, the link needs to fill the container.
.container a {position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;}
Like I said, I dynamically assembled the div, but the html would look something like this:
<div class='container'>[some other content]</div>
The container must be position relative, otherwise the position absolute link fills its first position relative ancestor (probably the whole viewport).
Of course, you can add styling to the div or the link. Note, I was using a position: sticky nav-bar, and I had to set it's z-index high in order to avoid collisions with the div buttons.
Pros: whatever styling and targeting you set for your links will apply. Good 'style': doesn't put a block element inside an inline (should avoid browser issues, though I haven't thoroughly tested it). Does not require any other languages or frameworks.
Cons: Not as simple as Niet's answer, but shouldn't be Doctype dependent.
I am trying to add the thumbnails section of the js gallery in the footer of a web page. I've never broken up a gallery before and figured it's the only way to achieve this look
http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/5923/bsade.jpg
The link for what I have now is this: http://www.marisaraskin.com/two.html.
(The borders are just guides for me while I'm still working on it)
The CSS code for the thumbnails container is:
.galleria-thumbnails-container {
height: 100px;<br>
bottom: 0;<br>
position: absolute;<br>
left: 10px;<br>
right: 10px;<br>
z-index: 1;<br>
border:1px solid yellow;<br>
}
I'm not sure what my other options are for this. I was maybe thinking overlapping the content container over the footer with z-index. Though I'm iffy about that especially because everyone's screen resolution is different. I can post more code per request. I am not sure what else you need to see as of now.
In case you need to know I'm using a gallery js called "Galleria" (classic).
If I were you I'd modify the js script so that you can populate blocks that are not contiguous in the actual HTML code, but here's a rough approach to doing it all through css:
remove position:relative from #container
remove position:relative from .galleria-container
add position:absolute to .galleria-stage and remove left and right
positioning. Also, add top:90px (or something close to that) and
give it a width: width:920px.
change .galleria-thumbnails-container to use absolute positioning and
use the bottom:___ property to set it where you belong.
Basically what you're doing here is removing all the relatively positioning in the parent elements of the gallery so that the gallery segments all all being positioned with respect to the page rather than any of their parent elements. Once this is done, you can just modify the absolute positioning and width of the stage block and the thumbnail block so that they sit where you want them.
I am trying to work with TinyMCE in creating a multi-textbox, click-to-edit type graphical content editor. I have got TinyMCE to the point where I can add and remove them, position and size them, click to edit them, and so forth - but one thing is bothering me and that is the toolbar.
I have an external toolbar that I'm trying to position along the bottom edge of the page, along with my "Save and Close" button and some other toolbuttons. The external toolbar is created by TinyMCE in a DIV with class "mceExternalToolbar". I tried setting position: fixed and left: and top: attributes in the page stylesheet, but to no avail - TinyMCE sets position: absolute and top: -28px on the DIV when it creates it.
I cannot modify the source code for TinyMCE due to project restrictions, but I can supplement it with extra CSS files.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the toolbar positioned properly?
The CSS selectors in the provided stylesheets are overriding the selectors that you're writing. What you need to do is either target the toolbar element with a selector of greater specificity:
body div.mceExternalToolbar {
position: fixed ;
top: -28px ;
};
Or use the !important directive to override it:
.mceExternalToolbar {
position: fixed !important ;
top: -28px !important ;
}
For more detail about both selector specificity and !important, see the W3C's documentation.
