I am having issues with my jQuery match height... or maybe I just don't understand it fully? Any Help?
Image 1
Image 1: This is how it looks without height matched, which i am happy with just some simple shadowed boxes. But they do not match each others height :/
Image 2
Image 2: This is how it looks currently when I am trying to apply my jQuery of match height. The shadowed boxes are tiny at the top and it pushes the content underneath them...

Any Ideas?? Thanks!
ALSO: How would I get it so that height matches on large screens only, and is unaffected on medium and small screens?
Have you considered using a CSS only solution?
You could wrap your columns in a container, let's use a div with a class of container. Make this container a flexbox container and child divs within it will be matching heights.
.container {
display: flex;
}
I prefer using CSS for this type of problem because it's more of a presentational concern and this approach doesn't necessitate writing any messy javascript to manipulate the DOM. Additionally, unless you need to support old versions of IE, browser support for flexbox is pretty good. http://caniuse.com/#search=flexbox
I added a border to the child divs with a class of column simply to illustrate that they are indeed the same height.
https://jsfiddle.net/eulloa/tx5jbdgf/1/
This is a pretty good reference on flexbox, in case you're interested in reading more.
Why the first div looping?
Just the second loop should do what you want.
var highestBox = 0;
$('.home-card').each(function(){
if($(this).height() > highestBox) {
highestBox = $(this).height();
}
});
$('.home-card').height(highestBox);
Because if there is another div having no .home-card child... Like a footer...
highestBox sets to 0.
Then all .homecard are setted to zero.
What you actually see as height probably is margin/padding of inner elements... or something.

Considering that components such as dialogs, modals, tooltips, etc. should be of higher stacking index than any other elements in an HTML page, I placed these components in an immediate sibling of root element where all the other elements are placed. React developers will quickly recognize this and they'll know that I'm trying to use React Portals. You can visualize it here:
<body>
<div id="root">
// ----- other elements -----
<div id="supposed-parent" />
// ----- other elements -----
</div>
<div id="dialog-container">
<div id="supposed-child" />
</div>
</body>
So, how can I position #supposed-child next or beside #supposed-parent? Any help would be appreciated.
I don't think this is possible with a pure css. But with a little script we can achieve this. Take the offset-left and top of the supposed-parent and apply the same to the supposed-child. The child should be absolute positioned element. Check the below sample and It hope this will be useful for you.
Even though the supposed-child(yellow box) is independent of the supposed-parent, It will be always align with the top-left of the supposed-parent.
function offsetCalculate(){
var parentTop = $('#supposed-parent').offset();
var parentLeft = $('#supposed-parent').offset();
$('#supposed-child').css({
'top':parentTop.top,
'left': parentLeft.left
});
}
$(document).ready(function () {
offsetCalculate();
});
$(window).resize(function(){
offsetCalculate();
});
#supposed-child{
position: absolute;
background: yellow;
border-radius: 5px;
padding: 10px;
z-index: 999;
}

I am using jQuery match height to make 3 boxes on my hope page have the same height. It works, but only upon page load. As I am using a CSS Responsive grid of 12 columns (Small, Medium and Large), when resizing the window the text squashes down to fit the width that I have given it, however, the newly adjusted boxes containing the text only maintain the height given to it by the jQuery.
Image 1: this is how it looks on page load, the boxes are the height of the highest box.
Image 2: this is how it looks after making the window smaller, see how the boxes are the same height but the text is still responsive.
How can I make the box resize with the text, whilst still having all boxes stay the same height? Thanks
$(document).ready(function(){
var highestBox = 0;
$('.home-card').each(function(){
if($(this).height() > highestBox) {
highestBox = $(this).height();
}

$('.home-card').height(highestBox);

How about in your javascript code you have this instead:
function load() {
var highestBox = 0;
$('.home-card').each(function(){
if($(this).height() > highestBox) {
highestBox = $(this).height();
}
});
$('.home-card').height(highestBox);
}
$(document).ready(load);
$(window).resize(load);
I am trying to add top bar on a webpage which has 2 other elements that are top:0 and position:fixed. For example, think of a website with wp-admin bar and a menubar fixed on top.
I am creating a plugin & so I cannot modify the website's code, but can override styles.
Here is my CSS:
.bar-render-top
{
top:0px;
margin-top: 0px;
position: fixed;
z-index: 999999;
width:100% !important;
}
I can see the bar but the others are hidden under it. What I would like for them is to 'move down'. I could add custom css and find the elements' css and add margins, but since this is a plugin, it should work on any website. So I cannot add site-specific styles.
Ideally, this should behave like the mozbar chrome addon, which adds a topbar as an iframe.
Is this possible? Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank much.

<div class="my-bar">
this has to be on the top of any generic page
</div>
I ended up adding a margin-top to fixed elements at render and on scroll events.
My main top bar is rendered as <div id="appbar-container">...</div> id (to avoid being pushed too). Then I do it like that:
const APPBAR_HEIGHT = 64;
const translateFixed = () => {
Object.assign(document.body.style, {
position: "relative",
top: APPBAR_HEIGHT + "px",
});
for (let e of Array.from(document.body.getElementsByTagName("*"))) {
if (
e instanceof HTMLElement &&
e.getAttribute("id") !== "appbar-container"
) {
const position = getComputedStyle(e)
.getPropertyValue("position")
.toLocaleLowerCase();
const top = e.getBoundingClientRect().top;
if (position === "fixed" && top >= 0 && top <= APPBAR_HEIGHT) {
e.style.marginTop = APPBAR_HEIGHT + "px";
e.classList.add("appbar-offset");
} else if (e.classList.contains("appbar-offset")) {
e.style.marginTop = "0";
}
}
}
};
// Initial push
translateFixed();
// Push on scroll
document.addEventListener("scroll", translateFixed);
I am not very proud of it though to be honest and I think there is room for improvement... But, well, it works.
If you know the height of your bar, you can wrap all the content of the page with your own block, add some margin above it, and then add your bar using JS. Also it would be nice to set a background color to your bar. Here is an example using jQuery:
$('body').children().wrapAll('<div class="bar-render-content" />');
$('body').prepend('<div class="bar-render-top">Test bar</div>');
.bar-render-top
{
top:0px;
margin-top: 0px;
position: fixed;
z-index: 999999;
width:100% !important;
margin-bottom:50px;
background-color: lightgrey;
}
.bar-render-content
{
margin-top:30px;
}

I'm trying to create an overlay that attaches itself to an existing DOM node and covers its entire content area. This should work regardless of whether this node is the body of the page or some deeply nested div. It's key that the layout of the page that I am overlaying should not change. Eventually, my code will run as a browser extension on top of existing html pages.
I am encountering a problem in the very simple case where I am trying to overlay a page with text (or anything that takes space) directly nested within the document body. I have no choice but to append my overlay div as another child node of the body and set its position to absolute and its width/height to 100%. Of course, in the case where the body is statically positioned (default), my div will size to the viewport and not the body's content. If content overflows, my overlay won't cover all of it :\.
All other answers suggest setting the position of the parent div (the body in my case) to define it as the positioning context. I can't do this, however. Changing the position of the document body to 'relative', for example, could change the layout of the content of the body, and defeats the purpose of an unobtrusive overlay. What to do?
Extension-specific suggestions are welcome. For reference, the extension will be for Chrome.
Here's a jsfiddle with a hypothetical page that I have to overlay. Note that although the original page is strangely formatted, my overlay cannot change it.
<body>
<style>
.overlay {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%
/*some magic I am unaware of*/
}
</style>
<!-- begin original document (stupid hypothetical scenario) -->
<div style="position:absolute;top:0px;width:100%;height:100%;background-color:red;">
<!-- this div is part of the original html document I want to overlay.
It should behave as it did originally, i.e size to the viewport of the document-->

I think you're best off appending one element to the body (unless you have access to some higher stacked element available to extensions) and simply use the element.getClientBoundingRect() to obtain the position and dimensions.
function applyStyle(element, styles) {
for (var key in styles) {
element.style[key] = styles[key];
}
}
var overlay = document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('div')),
indicator = overlay.appendChild(document.createElement('div'));
// apply the styles
applyStyle(overlay, {
position: 'absolute',
top: 0,
left: 0,
right: 0,
bottom: 0,
zIndex: 2147483647, // it doesn't get higher than this
pointerEvents: 'none'
});
applyStyle(indicator, {
position: 'absolute',
border: '1px dotted red',
backgroundColor: 'rgba(255,0,0,0.2)'
});
window.addEventListener('mouseover', function(event) {
var bound = event.target.getBoundingClientRect();
applyStyle(indicator, {
top: bound.top + 'px',

The bits of "trickery" in here involve:
using the maximum z-index combined with the overlay element being the last element within <body> makes it nearly impossible for any page to rise above it
the little known getBoundingClientRect treasure
pointer-events: none css, removing the interactivity from the overlay element (simply add pointer-events: auto on the indicator to re-enable)
As you are targeting one specific browser and a (evergreen) modern one, I don't think you should use jQuery. You don't need it.
I don't know whether jQuery is an option but I couldn't resist... Here's how you could use jQuery to style your overlay
var $thingToOverlay = $('#someDivOrWhatever'); // use $(document) for whole page
var $overlay = $('.overlay');
var getMaxZ = function($elements){
var z;
return Math.max.apply(null, $elements.map(function(){
return isNaN(z = parseInt($(this).css("z-index"), 10)) ? 0 : z;
}));
};
$overlay.css({
'position': 'absolute',
'box-sizing': 'border-box',
'background-color': 'red',
'height': $thingToOverlay.height(),
'width': $thingToOverlay.width(),
'top': $thingToOverlay.offset().top, // don't use this for whole page (document), just set to 0
'left': $thingToOverlay.offset().left, // ditto
'z-index': getMaxZ($overlay.siblings()) // assuming overlay is last on page, no need to +1
});
This will obviously need some logic around it depending on whether the overlay needs to cover the whole page or just a div but you get the idea?

I did a jsFiddle of this: http://jsfiddle.net/xpdg5ov2/5/
I was getting an error when doing $(window).load I had to change it to $(document).ready
I also noticed that the parent height changed through each loop
EDIT: in that one, the divs were indeed the same height, but the parent height changed after it changed the children. so I just made it vertically align to the top:

Also notice, your window has to be over 720 pixels. due to your code. here is a jsfiddle without the window limit http://jsfiddle.net/xpdg5ov2/6/
FULL code just incase jsfiddle doesnt work for you:
jQuery:
$(document).ready(function () {
var parentHeight = $('.equals .equal-height').parent().height();
$('.equals .equal-height').each( function () {
$(this).css('height', parentHeight+'px');
});
});
CSS:
.dark-box {
background: rgba(9, 31, 38, .8);
color: #fff;
padding: 30px;
width: 45%;
box-sizing: border-box;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: text-top;
}
