html div not allowed to go off page - javascript

First off, let me give you a little background. I am creating a responsive page using % for positioning my divs. It allows the user to drag and drop items wherever they please. The issue arises when the user places the object to near the edge of the page. When you resize the browser the images start to go off the page and get cut off.
#div1
{
overflow: hidden;
right: <?php variable>;
bottom: <?php variable>;
}
#div2
{
overflow: hidden;
left: <?php variable>;
top: <?php variable>;
}
What I would like to try and do is allow the percentage's to control the placement up until the edge of the page. Then I would like to hardcode the variables to something like 10px so it never goes of the page.
I thought of doing this in javascript(if statement('s)), but thought maybe there was a simpler way(css properties). Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

If you are going to use javascript you need to have a separate function that triggers on browser resize:
window.onresize = function(event) {
//your code here
}
or if you are using the popular jQuery
$(window).resize(function(){
//your code here
});
is the same.
If you want to hardcode it with css use a #media query:
#media(max-width:767px) { /*or whatever you want to use to trigger the css that will be used after browser size fits your problem */
.myImage {left:10px;top:10px;}
}
More info on what you can use with #media can be found here http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/
If you ask me I think that you will accomplish a much more solid solution using javascript and since I suspect you are using js to drag elements around just go with it for resizing and repositioning too.

How to input a CSS class with JavaScript to affect another function

I have gone at a lot of informative sites in order to find answer but no luck so far. Thus now asking here.
CSS Class
.toppy {
:-webkit-full-screen {position: relative; top: -1310;}
:-moz-full-screen {position: relative; top: -1310;}
:-ms-fullscreen {position: relative; top: -1310;}
fullscreen {position: relative; top: -1310;}
}
JS Input
window.onscroll = function() {mss()};
function mss() {
var posi = document.body.scrollTop;
document.getElementById("toppy").style.top = -posi;
}
Depending on a position on a web page, this should give the value (posi). Negatived as CSS works on that way, and trying to update CSS with style(top) value (posi). However, no updating.
JS into which CSS influences
function FullScreen() { .... code .... }
CSS affects to this. If CSS has defined without class .toppy, function FullScreen works nicely opening full screen with the CSS's pre-set values (-1310) at the position downwards from the top.
But why is CSS's style property top not being updated by JS input function and therefore changing the position of the FullScreen to open at? My goal is to obtain the full screen to be opened at its current position on page. Some browsers do this automatically, some do not. Thus needing coding.
Or does one have to define a variable in css (e.g. var(--posi)) and proceed on this way but I do not have a real clue how to do that?
Many thanks for replies!
Update:
Thanks for the points. Valid ones. However, as the problem remains, I think the issue here is how to link a css to certain js being the case paricularry with this fullscreen. If I had two identical js fullscreen (expect function name), how would I define above kind of css to one js and another css to another js? As for me, it seems that css for fullscreen is (defined as above) not accepting any id or class tags, or I do not know how to link id to js? Syntaxing? Regards!

Issue with iFrame Element not re-sizing within container

I am working on a small VA project and I am attempting to pull stats from another website. The only way I have been able to find out how to do this, is by using an iFrame with the clip function.
Website is: NWGlobalVA.com
Now the Issue I am having is if you go to the main page and re-size the browser in anyway it pushes behind the map element. I have tried everything in my knowledge and research to make it re-size with the container.
Below is the code I use with the iFrame and CSS to do the clipping. Any help would be much more appreciated then you will understand. I have been trying to do this for a couple days now. Ideally I would rather just get the information once every 15 minutes and pass it to my database. However on the website none of the tables are defined and I would know how to go about that.
<style>
.iframeb {
position: absolute;
left:-384px;
right:0px;
top: -145px;
clip: rect(190px, 625px, 350px, 400px);
}</style>
<iframe width="890" height="1900" src="http://fscloud-infotool.de/index.php?page=vasystem&subpage=vadetails&id=10277" class="iframeb" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe>
The way I deal with iframe size is with javascript (jquery):
I calculated the original iframe aspect ratio by taking the width/height. So in your case: 890/1900.
<script>
function size_iFrame()
{
// If the width and height of the iframe are set
// as attributes (<iframe width='890' height='1900'>),
// you can have the js calculate it for you.
// aspect= $('iframe').attr('width') / $('iframe').attr('height');
aspect= 0.47;
$('iframe').css('width', '100%');
$('iframe').css('height', $('iframe').width() / aspect);
}
$(document).ready(function()
{
size_iFrame();
$(window).resize(function()
{
size_iFrame();
});
}
</script>
This will fit the iframe to the width of its container and give it the same aspect ratio as it initially had.
Edit: To answer your question, i'd call it from the ready callback and setup and window resize callback to call every time the screen size changes. I edited my code above to show this.
Edit2: As #mugé points out, you'll also need to remove your iframe css styling for my method to work.
In responsive design, I assign the iframe a container sized inside the CSS. For example,
CSS
.iframe_container {
display: inline;
float: left;
width: 89%; //whatever width you want
}
You will need to eliminate your .iframeb absolute, right, left positionings, because the container will take care of it all, unless you are talking about the 'List' parameters on top of the map, I would try to use #media to arrange clean lists according to screen sizes for the .iframeb class.

TinyMCE color picker dropdown appears off-screen

This is an issue on Firefox and IE so far that I've tested; the problem does not exist on Chrome.
I'm including two TinyMCE editors on a page with one partially off-screen to start. When I select the color picker dropdown option from the toolbar on the first TinyMCE instance, the dropdown appears where it should. But if I scroll down and select the color picker dropdown in the second instance, that dropdown appears way below the editor and typically off the page.
You can see this in action here: http://jsfiddle.net/nm6wtca3/
Without removing the html, body CSS, what can I do to have the color picker always appear in the correct position?
I've traced the problem down to setting CSS on the html, body elements.
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
The dropdown div has CSS applied to it that is auto-calculated by TinyMCE. It looks something like this:
z-index: 65535;
left: 641.467px;
top: 633px;
width: 162px;
height: 105px;
How it appears in FF (sometimes way worse):
How it appears in Chrome (how it should look):
You did say you don't want to remove any CSS from the html,body, but you didn't say anything about adding to it! This solution is based on the assumption that you can add to the html,body
Solution
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow-x: hidden;
position: relative; /* Line added */
}
JSFiddle Example
I hope this helps. In all reality, you really only need to apply position: relative; to the body like so body { position: relative; }
I'm not super familiar with tinymce's colorpicker, but I can see the issue, and I can replicate it reliably: your problem occurs when you have a picker open, and then you scroll. I can replicate this in chrome too. Here's a video.
When I look at the DOM, I see that tinyMCE has created two absolute-positioned divs at the end of document.body, one for each picker. When you open one, their position is updated to reflect the location of the toolbar-button at the time you clicked it, but it never gets updated when you scroll!
So, how to solve this? Well, there are a few possibilities:
Option 1: it looks like tinyMCE provides a method to bind a control to an event (here). With this, you could bind a callback to 'scroll' that repositions the box...
Huh, now that I think of it, you could simply close any open colorpickers whenever a user scrolls ... kinda feels like a cop-out but there's no denying it has the best R.O.I. ;) We'll call that Option 2!
Option 3: depending on the implementation of the colorpicker, you may be able to override where in the DOM those divs get rendered. The API method I saw that looked the most promising is here. Once you have the div inside a relative-positioned parent, you'd also have to make the colorpicker's positioning algorithm smart enough to look in the right place for x and y offset ...when I tried this by just moving the element and mashing in some css by hand in chrome-console, the algorithm still computed x and y offsets based on doc.body, so depending on where you were scrolled at click-time, everything would be out of position
It looks like this issue might be troubling other people as well... maybe they've found a solution but haven't posted anything about it?
I hope this is enough info to get you past the problem... Let me know if you have any questions!
It looks like the problem is caused by overflow-x: hidden;
It may not be the answer you want but removing that or moving it to a page wrapper will solve your problem.
Working Example
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
#pagewrapper{
overflow-x: hidden;
}
Another option would be to force repositioning on scroll, but honestly this is overkill... I strongly recommend fixing the css instead.
Another working example
$('body').scroll(posfix); // when the body scrolls
$('#mceu_10').click(posfix); // when you click the top font color button
$('#mceu_35').click(posfix); // when you click the bottom font color button
function posfix() {
setTimeout(function () { // hack way to ensure it fires after the menu is shown
$('#mceu_51').css({
top: $('#mceu_10').offset().top + $('#mceu_10').height(), // set top/left based on button's position
left: $('#mceu_10').offset().left + $('#mceu_10').width() / 2
});
$('#mceu_52').css({
top: $('#mceu_35').offset().top + $('#mceu_35').height(),
left: $('#mceu_35').offset().left + $('#mceu_35').width() / 2
});
}, 1);
}
it works on firefox, and Internet Explorer fine
just remove this css code
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
Please take a look at this:
html,
body {
width: auto;
height: auto;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
You can simply set body width and height to auto, then there won't be any need to use position and you don't have to remove anything. I think you do not need to use height: 100% since it will be auto-calculated by TinyMCE. i hope it helped.
Update
Look at the screen shot from chrome and its same in firefox. And i didn't remove any css but just changed..and by putting 100% in css the output will be like :-
Please check this one with auto but not 100%..thank you

Remove place holder image from a div once dynamic content has been added to it

If I have a div acting as a container that when empty shows an image, and I want to remove that image when content gets added to the container dynamically, what would be the best Jquery method to accomplish this? Doing the usual -
if ($(".container").html().length <= 0) {
$('.ad').show();
}
does not work in this case since the content being added is dynamic and does not involve a refresh. I tried storing the check in in a setIntercal function that would run every 100ms but the results didn't turn out as expected and it also caused some odd flickering on the page.
EDIT**
Josh Burgess' method would be the one I use in all cases if I didn't have to support IE8. Because of this I'm going to fall back to adding a .hide() method on the when the click event for adding content is fired. Thanks for the help!
Why use jQuery at all?
Try this CSS:
div.myDiv:empty{
background-image: url(path/to/myimage);
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
}
div.myDiv {
background-image: none;
height:auto;
width: auto;
}
--EDIT--
Here's a working example in jsfiddle, and it works in reverse as well

Dynamic Background Scrolling

Here's a link to what I'll be referring to.
I'm having some trouble getting the background image to work the way I'd like it to.
I want the background to auto resize based on the width of the window, which it is already doing correctly. If you make your window smaller you'll see the background shrink with it.
Here's the issue. If you make your window wide (short) then the background will resize and go too high so you can't see the top of the background anymore (since the background is bottom positioned).
I want the background to be top position when you are at the top of the page, and as you scroll down it will slowly move to be bottom positioned. Sort of like the effect of an Android phone's background when you move left and right. Of course, keep in mind that I still want the background to auto-resize when you make the window smaller.
html {
background-color: #70d4e3;
height: 100%;
}
body {
height: 100%;
}
.background {
margin-top: 45px;
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: -9999;
}
.banner {
margin: 0px auto;
width: 991px;
margin-bottom: -9px;
}
.content {
background: url("http://i.imgur.com/daRJl.png") no-repeat scroll center center transparent;
height: 889px;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 869px;
}
.innerContent {
padding: 30px;
}
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/6d5Cm.jpg" alt="" class="background" />
<div class="banner">
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/JptsZ.jpg" alt="" />
</div>
<div class="content">
<div class="innerContent">
testing
</div>
</div>
Maybe some javascript or jquery would be needed to achieve this.
Well, this was fun, thanks!
I hope you don't mind me taking the liberty to use percentages to make my life a little bit easier and possibly the script slightly more robust since I can reliably use floats with percentages.
What I did is make the layout, html and css comply with the rules you need for the bg to be animated properly, they stayed largely the same from what you had.
Then it was just a question of figuring out the calculations needed with the right properties to figure out the percentage you were from the top, the *20 is actually the amount of space 'left' to fill by the background image in percentages (as the background height is 80%).
They I moved the calculations to a function so I could call that on scroll and on window resize, making sure it's initiated on any event that modifies the window somehow...
Didn't do extensive testing but it worked in Chrome and I'm tired :p
I believe this is what you are looking for:
http://jsfiddle.net/sg3s/RSqrw/15/ See edit 2
If you wanted this the other way arround just make the page background start at the top and modify that:
http://jsfiddle.net/sg3s/RSqrw/14/ See edit 2
Edit:
As a bonus, and since I had never actually written jquery script as a 'plugin', I decided to convert this into one. What I came up with should be easy to implement and use!
http://jsfiddle.net/sg3s/RSqrw/52/ See Edit 3
Functionality successfully tested in Chrome, Firefox 3.6, IE9 + compatibility mode
Edit 2:
Reading the question again checking if I did it right I noticed I didn't quite do what you want, so I updated the link in the first edit which gives you a plugin in which you can have several options for the scrolling background. It retains my 'old' interpetation while also doing what you want... Read comments in code for some extra descriptions.
Edit 3:
As I went to work today I was bothered with the fact that my plugin 'try' was a little bloated. And as you mentioned in the comment it didn't quite fit the requirements.
So I rewrote it to only do what you want and not much more, tested in Chrome Firefox, IE9 +compat etc etc.. This script is a lot cleaner.
http://jsfiddle.net/sg3s/vZxHW/
You can chose to make the background stick to the top or bottom if the height fits in the window. Nothing else, but that is already more than enough to do some pretty cool stuff :p
An exact solution: Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/srGHE/2/show/
View source
Thanks for the challenge. See below for the solution, which is complying with all requirements, including recommended yet optional (with steps on how to remove these) features. I only show the changed parts of your page, with an explanation after each section (CSS, HTML and JavaScript):
CSS (changes):
html,body{
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
}
body{
background-color: #70d4e3;
}
#background { /*Previously: .background*/
/*Removed: margin-top: 45px;
No other changes*/
}
#banner /*Previously: .banner; no other changes */
#content /*Previously: .content; no other changes */
#innerContent /*Previously: .innerContent; no other changes */
Explanation of CSS revisions:
margin-top:45px at the background is unnecessary, since you're absolutely positioning the element.
All of the elements which are unlikely to appear more than once should be selected via the id (#) selector. This selector is more specific than the class selector.
HTML (changes):
All of the class attributes have been replaced by id. No other changes have been made. Don't forget to include the JQuery framework, because I've implemented your wishes using JQuery.
JavaScript (new):
Note: I have added a feature which you didn't request, but seems logical. The code will automatically reserve sufficient margin at the left side of the window in order to always display the background. Remove anything between the marked comments if you don't want this feature.
$(document).ready(function(){
//"Static" variables
var background = $("#background");
var marginTop = parseFloat(background.css("margin-top")) || 0;
var bannerWidth = $("#banner").width(); /*Part of auto left-margin */
var extraContWidth = (bannerWidth - $("#content").width())/2; /*Same as above*/
function fixBG(){
var bodyWidth = $("body").width();
var body_bg_width_ratio = bodyWidth/1920;
var bgHeight = body_bg_width_ratio * 926; //Calcs the visible height of BG
var height = $(document).height();
var docHeight = $(window).height();
var difHeight = bgHeight - docHeight;
var scrollDif = $(document).scrollTop() / (height - docHeight) || 0;
/*Start of automatic left-margin*/
var arrowWidth = body_bg_width_ratio * 115; //Arrow width
if(bodyWidth - bannerWidth > arrowWidth*2){
$("body > div").css("margin-left", "auto");
} else {
$("body > #banner").css("margin-left", arrowWidth+"px");
$("body > #content").css("margin-left", (arrowWidth+extraContWidth)+"px");
}
/*End of automatic left-margin*/
if(difHeight > 0){
background.css({top:(-scrollDif*difHeight-marginTop)+"px", bottom:""});
} else {
background.css({top:"", bottom:"0"});
}
}
$(window).resize(fixBG);
$(window).scroll(fixBG);
fixBG();
});
Explanation of the JavaScript code
The size of the background is determined by calculating the ratio of the background and document width. The width property is used, because it's the most reliable method for the calculation.
Then, the height of the viewport, document body and background is calculated. If applicable, the scrolling offset is also calculated, to prepare the movement of the background, if necessary.
Optionally, the code determines whether it's necessary to adjust the left margin (to keep the background visible at a narrow window).
Finally, if the background arrow has a greater height than the document's body, the background is moved accordingly, taking the scrolling position into account. The arrow starts at the top of the document, and will move up as the user scrolls (so that the bottom side of the arrow will be the bottom of the page when the user has fully scrolled down). If it's unnecessary to move the background, because it already suits well, the background will be positioned at the bottom of the page.
When the page has finished loading, this functionality is added to the Resize and scroll events, so that the background is always at the right location.
If you've got any other questions, feel free to ask them.
well, I'm not sure if I understand you and why do you want to do that, but you can try adding 2 backgrounds (see http://www.css3.info/preview/multiple-backgrounds/ ), one with the top bg and another with the bottom bg but I think that if the page is not too long it will cause issues, so the other answer with pure CSS is as follows: first add 3 horizontal divs with 100% width. Top div will have your top bg and its height, middle div will be transparent and auto height and bottom div will have your bottom bg and its height. All divs will have a 0 z-index. Then create a higher z-index div to act as a container and you'll be set. If I understand your question right, that's the close I can think of to achieve that. This being said, I'm pretty sure you can do this with JQuery with way better results
Using jQuery I was able to give you what I think you're asking for:
$(window).scroll(function() {
var h = Math.max($(document).height(), $(window).height());
var bottom = h - $(".background").height() - $(window).height();
$(".background").css("top", (($(window).scrollTop() / h) * bottom) + "px");
});
EDIT: Forgot to account for the way scrollTop reports position.
Or maybe:
.background {
margin-top: 45px;
max-width: 100%;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: -9999;
max-height: 100%;
}
I reccomend using jQuery Background Parallax
http://www.stevefenton.co.uk/Content/Jquery-Background-Parallax/
The function is as simple as
$("body").backgroundparallax();
Ask if you don't get it to work.
#abney; as i understand your question may that's you want http://jsfiddle.net/sandeep/RSqrw/60/
you need only css for this:
#background {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height:100%;
top: 0;
left:0;
z-index: -1;
}
