I'm building a website for a company and having a hard time with positioning. I want the drop-down menus to position either left or right based on where they are on the screen. Here's a screenshot of what happens currently: link
Also, If you want to take a look at the live site, here's a link to the demo.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Edit: Not to throw another confusing element in, but this particular site is responsive. When I go down to an Ipad size screen the problem get's worse.
Your container is 960px. The dropdown menu has an auto width so you'll need to estimate the width of each menu (let's say 200px).
Now, you can use document.body.offsetWidth to determine the width of the browser window. This is what I would suggest:
function on_hover() {
...
dropdown_width = 200;
container_width = 960;
if (document.body.offsetWidth < container_width + dropdown_width) {
dropdown_from_left();
} else {
dropdown_from_right();
}
...
}
Hopefully this is enough for you to get started. Enjoy and good luck!

I would like to use some basic Javascript to automatically set the width of a div element (class name = "tb-megamenu-submenu") to be the full width of the screen and centered. I would also like this calculation to run any time the screen is resized.
Normally I would just use CSS for this (width: 100vw), but the parent element is position:relative and the submenu is position:absolute, so any attempt to set the width fails because the submenu cannot be centered on the screen with CSS alone.
I'm using a Drupal Module called "The Better Mega Menu." There is a working example of a websites that does this exact thing that I want (https://www.hollyhunt.com/), but I can't seem to replicate their success. Here's the code they are using on their site:
// Make submenu full browser width.
const submenuFullwidthCalc = function () {
// Get the Mega menu Level 1 sub menu.
$(".tb-megamenu-nav > .level-1 > .tb-megamenu-submenu").each(function () {
// reset to zero so it can be calculated again and again
$(this).css("left", 0);
const offsettarget = $("body").offset();
// The offset of this submenu.
const offsetthis = $(this)
.parent()
.offset();
// Calculate the offset.
$(this).css("left", offsettarget.left - offsetthis.left);
// Set the submenu full width.
$(this).css("width", $("body").width());
});
};
How can I get this kind of functionality working on my site? Oh, and I'm stuck using the old BootStrap 3 Theme, so any solutions may have to be compatible with older code standards. Thanks for any help you can give!!!
I am a skilled database / application programmer for the PC. I am also an ignorant html / javascript / web programmer.
I am creating some documentation about some .Net assemblies for our intranet. Ideally I would like to display an image full size if the browser window can fit it. If not then I would like to reduce it and toggle between a small version and full size version by a click. It is a dependency chart and can be different sizes for different pages. I would prefer a single function to handle this but being it is for our use none of the requirements I mentioned is set in stone. I would like to make it work well but nothing is mandatory.
I read a lot of stuff but couldn't find anything that matched what I wanted. First I tried this (after a few iterations):
<img src='Dependancy Charts/RotairAORFQ.png' width='100%' onclick='this.src="Dependancy Charts/RotairAORFQ.png";this.width=this.naturalWidth;this.height=this.naturalHeight;' ondblclick='this.src="Dependancy Charts/RotairAORFQ.png";this.width="100%";'>
It has problems. First off it enlarges a small image and it looks funny. Second I would have to put the code in every page. Third it requires a double click to restore it. I was going to live with those short commings but the double click fails. I can't figure out how to restore it.
So I tried to get fancy. I couldn't figure out how to get past problem 1, but solved 2 and 3 by creating a function in a separate file. Then I ran into what appeared to be the same problem. This was my second attempt:
function ImageToggle(Image)
{
if (ImageToggle.FullSize == 'undefined')
ImageToggle.FullSize = false;
if (ImageToggle.FullSize)
{
Image.width='100%';
ImageToggle.FullSize = false;
}
else
{
Image.width=Image.naturalWidth;
ImageToggle.FullSize = true;
}
return 0
}
And in my page:
<img src='Dependancy Charts/RotairAORFQ.png' width='100%' onclick='ImageToggle(this)'>
Can what I want be done? It doesn't sound impossible. If it is a large amount of effort would be required then alternate suggestions are acceptable.
You're probably interested in the max-width: 100% CSS property, rather than a flat-out width:100%. If you have a tiny image, it'll stay tiny. If you have a huge image, it gets resized to the width of the containing element.
For example: http://jsbin.com/kabepo/1/edit uses a small and a huge image, both with max-width:100%. As you can see, the small image is untouched, the huge image is resized to something sensible.
I would recommend that you set a the max-width: 100% CSS property for the image.
This will prevent the image's width from expanding to be greater than the container's width.
You can also do the same with max-height: 100% if you are having problems with the image overflowing vertically.
Please see this JSFiddle for an example.
(Note: If you set both a width and a height attribute on the <img> tag directly or in your CSS file your image will not be scaled proportionally.)
Does it have to be a toggle or would a mouseover work for you as well?
<style>
.FullSize { width:100px; height:auto; }
.FullSize:hover { width:90%; height:auto; }
</style>
<img src="Dependancy Charts/RotairAORFQ.png" class="FullSize">
Note: when image is made larger IN the page - the surrounding content will be displaced around it - depending on how you have set up the layout.
Also if you have any body margins or table or div paddings, using image width at 100% will make the page scroll. To check just change 90% to 100% and work your way up / down.
You could also force the image to be a specific size until the browser gets made smaller by the user / has a smaller resolution.
<style>
.FullSize {width:1000px;max-width:100%;height:auto;}
</style>
<img src="Dependancy Charts/RotairAORFQ.png" class="FullSize">
A tip: the image used must be the largest one. So minimum width of lets say 1200 pixels wide (if that is the forced image size you use). That way regardless of size it is it will remain clearer than a small image becoming a large. Since it's an intranet, file size shouldn't be an issue.
Thanks all for your help. Rob and Mike both pointed me to an excellent solution. I now have my page load with an image that fits the browser window, resizes with the browser and if the user is interested they can expand the image and scrollbars appear if necessary. I got this to work in a function so minimal code is needed for each page.
To load the image:
<p style="overflow:auto;">
<img src='Dependancy Charts/RotairAORFQ.png' width="100%" onclick='ImageToggle(this)'>
</p>
And the function:
function ImageToggle(Image)
{
if (ImageToggle.FullSize == 'undefined')
ImageToggle.FullSize = false;
if (ImageToggle.FullSize)
{
Image.style="max-width: 100%";
ImageToggle.FullSize = false;
}
else
{
Image.style="max-width: none";
Image.width=Image.naturalWidth;
ImageToggle.FullSize = true;
}
return 1
}
if you want to get current browser window size and if you want to do it on a click event so try this in jquery or javascript:
<script>
$("#myButton").click(function(){
var x = window.innerHeight; // put current window size in x (ie. 400)
});
</script>
I want to create a navigation bar similar to this site's:
http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/#/shelves/top_offers_in_asda.html
Can anyone tell me how to create that navigation bar, which follows you as you scroll the page down, but not following you at the initial loading of page?
When you access to the given website, try to scrolling down and you will understand what I am talking about. The navigation bar that consists of MY SHOP, OFFERS, IDEAS & LIFESTYLE, BAKERY and so-on...
I have really no idea what it's called. At least tell me what it's called, so I'll be able to search.
Here is the solution I've done
window.onscroll = function(){
if(getScrollTop()>140) {
document.getElementById("menu").style.position="fixed";
} else {
document.getElementById("menu").style.position="";
}
}
function getScrollTop() {
if (window.onscroll) {
// Most browsers
return window.pageYOffset;
}
var d = document.documentElement;
if (d.clientHeight) {
// IE in standards mode
return d.scrollTop;
}
// IE in quirks mode
return document.body.scrollTop;
}
Holding an element on same position can be achieved by fixed position styling.
If you want your navigation bar to stay on exact same location, position:fixed; is enough. (At least non IE6)
You can find a working example and some details here
However, if you want your navigation bar to move from it's initial location to the top border of page as you scroll the page down, you must implement some JavaScript to catch page scroll event and move the <div> accordingly.
See this question for an example on how to do that.
Note: this won't work with the Android 2.3 browser; position:fixed will not behave as expected - it kinda of temporarily attaches its position to the scrolling element before jumping back to the top.
if you want you could just set the z-index to be a specific No. and that should work.
example
z-index:100;
I am using media queries to make a responsive site. That isn't my problem but it is why I am here today with this question.
At a certain browser width, my horizontal navigation at the top of my page becomes too wide (becomes squished) and looks awkward in my layout. What I want to do is this: When a users browser reaches a certain min-width, I would like to (using js) hide the horizontal navigation (an unordered list of 6) that originally rendered on the users screen (if you are viewing wider than 650px) and replace it with a single 'button' that when clicked drops down the un-ordered list.
Now, the CSS isnt the problem. I just cant seem to figure out how to do the transition from the original horizontal nav that originally renders, to a more user friendly navigation.
A simple solution would be to have 2 sets of navigation mechanisms. Hide one and show the other.
You will need to add an eventlistener on the resize event for document, where you will check the innerWidth of the window and decide which navigation div to display.
document.addEventListener("resize", function () {
if (window.innerWidth < 650) {
document.getElementById("horizontal_nav").style.display = "block";
document.getElementById("dropdown_nav").style.display = "none";
} else {
document.getElementById("dropdown_nav").style.display = "none";
document.getElementById("horizontal_nav").style.display = "block";
}
});
Alternatively, you can keep your horizontal navigation but specify a max-width of 650px, once this has been reached, it will stop growing.
div#horizontal_nav {
width: 100%;
max-width: 650px;
}
Maybe these can help:

I know. It´s jQuery but I hope ppl get the general idea.
I am creating a toolbar widget that is loaded via an external javascript file. The toolbar floats at the bottom of the screen, which works fine, but the content at the bottom of the screen gets covered up (as seen in Figure A). Figure B is my goal.
The toolbar should always be visible, fixed to the bottom of the screen. If scrolling is needed on the page, the content will flow under it until it is all visible when scrolled all the way to the bottom, so that nothing gets covered up on any length page.
My first thought was to set a bottom margin of 30px (toolbar height), but since most of the websites this is designed for are setup to use the full screen (with body height set to 100%), this won't always work. Decreasing the body scrollHeight by 30px fixes this issue, but only if scrolling isn't required on the page (which sometimes is).
JSFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/ZbMDr/1/
Does this example work for you? http://limpid.nl/lab/css/fixed/footer
So here's a somewhat hacky solution I've come up with, that seems to work so far (I haven't done extensive testing yet). If anyone has a cleaner way of accomplishing this it would be interesting.
var bodyCH = document.body.clientHeight,
bodySH = document.body.scrollHeight;
/* insert the toolbar here */
if (bodyCH === bodySH) {
document.body.style.height = parseInt(bodySH, 10) - 30 + 'px';
} else {
var spacer = document.createElement('div');
spacer.style.height = '30px';
document.body.appendChild(spacer);
}
