Some code when I call a showhide method in html is not working correctly. The method shows then hides some html content on this webpage, however, the html or css is not functioning correctly. For example, when the page is loaded in a browser, the space where the div will be shown is just empty space, when there shouldn't be space at all, but when the div is shown it just fills that space. The I think it could be something to do with the css, however I am not to sure. Here is the CSS id I am using to show and hide.
#showAndHide {
text-align: justify;
height: auto;
width: 700px;
margin: auto;
position: relative;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 10px;
visibility: hidden;
}
and here is a small sample of the html that this is being applied to.
<div id="showAndHide">
<div id="physicalAdress">
<div class="h4">
<h4> What is your physical address? </h4>
</div>
<p> Property name (if you have one) </p>
<input type="text" name="propertyName" /><br/>
that html is within the showandhide div, then within a user input div which is:
.userinput {
text-align: justify;
height: auto;
width: 700px;
margin: auto;
position: relative;
border-collapse: collapse;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 10px;
border-right-style: solid;
border-left-style: solid;
}
here is the Javascript method.
function showHideDiv()
{
var divstyle = new String();
divstyle = document.getElementById("showAndHide").style.visibility;
if(document.getElementById("yesPrint").checked == true)
{
document.getElementById("showAndHide").style.visibility = "visible";
}
if(document.getElementById("noPrint").checked == true)
{
document.getElementById("showAndHide").style.visibility = "hidden";
}
}
Basically when I run the page, and show the content the styling is becoming skewed and the positioning of the html that is not with the show and hide content is also becoming skewed.
Any ideas/help would be appreciated.
use display:none instead of visibility: hidden;.
visibility: hidden; reserves space for element
Change visibility:hidden to display:none to prevent the element from taking up space when hidden.
You may need to change your JavaScript slightly, but I can't say for sure as you haven't posted it, but you're going to need something like this:
element.style.display = "block"; //Show the element
function toggle_show(id) {
var el = document.getElementById(id);
if (el && el.style) {
el.style.display = el.style.display == 'none' ? 'block' : 'none';
}
}
http://webdesign.about.com/od/css/f/blfaqhidden.htm
Quoting webdesign:
"visibility: hidden hides the element, but it still takes up space in the layout.
display: none removes the element completely from the document. It does not take up any space, even though the HTML for it is still in the source code."

I am working on a piece of legacy code for a table. In certain cells, I'm adding a notice icon. When you hover over the icon a <span> is made visible displaying some information. I would like to be able to make this <span> smart about its positioning but can't figure out a good method. I can statically position it but depending on which cell in the table it is in it gets lost against the edge of the page. I have done a JsFiddle here demonstrating the issue. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to use anything but HTML, CSS and vanilla JS.
The title attribute to most tags is pretty smart about its position. I have added a title to one of the cells in the table in the jsFiddle (cell containing "Hello"). Is there any way to make my span exhibit the same smart behaviour?
A pop-up can be added before any element by putting the popup html code inside a 'div' with 'position:absolute; overflow:visible; width:0; height:0'.
When these events: 'onmouseenter', 'onmouseleave' are fired on the element, just toggle the popup css attribute 'display' between 'none' and 'block' of the element.
Example on jsfiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/johnlowvale/mfLhw266/
HTML and JS:
<div class="popup-holder">
<div class="popup" id="popup-box">Some content</div>
</div>
Some link
<script>
function show_popup() {
var e = $("#popup-box");
e.css("display", "block");
}
function hide_popup() {
var e = $("#popup-box");
e.css("display", "none");
}
</script>
CSS:
.popup-holder {
position: absolute;
overflow: visible;
width: 0;
height: 0;
}
.popup {
background-color: white;
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 10px;

float: left;
height: 25px;
width: 25px;
margin-left: 544px;
margin-top: 51px;
position:absolute;
visibility:hidden;
}
Javascript
if (!$("#greenn31").css('visibility') === 'hidden') {
alert (source3);
document.getElementById("greenn31").style.visibility = "visible";
source3 = source3 - node31;
}
How i could check the visibility of div green31?
Thanks for your interest!
If you're already mixing plain JS with jQuery, I would suggest switching to plain JS :)
var el = document.getElementById('greenn31');
var style = window.getComputedStyle(el);
if (style.visibility === 'hidden') {
el.style.visibility = 'visible';
}
https://jsfiddle.net/zo2mbys4/
Your code work fine check the Example Fiddle.
I'll just suggest to use display instead of visibility it's more efficient when you want to hide elements (see the difference below) then you could use jQuery function is() with selector :visible.
display attribute with none value will hide the element and hide also the space allocated for this element in the page.
visibility attribute with hidden will hide the element but space that is allocated for it still on the page.
Hope this helps.
if ($("#greenn31").is(':visible')) {
alert ("visible");
}else{
alert ("hidden");
}
#greenn31{
background-color:#093;
float: left;
height: 25px;
width: 25px;
margin-left: 544px;
margin-top: 51px;
position:absolute;
display:none;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="greenn31"></div>
You can try with below code:
if ($("#greenn31").css('visibility') === 'hidden') {
$("#greenn31").css({'visibility': 'visible'});
}
i have an userscript which traces all the dynamically created tags in javascript of a webpage. the problem here is presently i am using alert box to dispaly the output. The problem with alert() is that it can be very obtrusive. For every alert, you need to click the OK button to proceed which wastes your time. so i want an alternative method like log files other than alert box. how can i do this.
i am restricted to use console.log
I would use some kind of console element statically placed on your page which can be hidden if necessary. See this jsFiddle.
HTML:
<div id="console">
<div class="header">
Console
<span class="expand" onclick="toggleConsole();">+</span>
</div>
<div class="content" style="display: none;"></div>
</div>
CSS:
#console {
position: fixed;
right: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
width: 300px;
border: solid 1px #dddddd;
}
#console .header {
background-color: #ededed;
border: solid 1px #dddddd;
}
#console .header .expand {
padding-right: 5px;
float: right;
cursor: pointer;
}
#console .content {
overflow: auto;
background-color: #F9F9F0;
width: 100%;
height: 180px;
}
Javascript:
function log(text) {
var consoleContent = document.getElementById('console')
.getElementsByClassName('content')[0];
var line = document.createElement('div');
line.className = 'consoleLine';
line.innerHTML = text;
consoleContent.appendChild(line);
}
function toggleConsole() {
var content = document.getElementById('console')
.getElementsByClassName('content')[0];
if (content.style.display === "none") {
content.style.display = "block";
document.getElementById('console')
.getElementsByClassName('expand')[0].innerHTML = "-";
} else {
content.style.display = "none";
document.getElementById('console')
.getElementsByClassName('expand')[0].innerHTML = "+";
}
}
document.onload = function() {
document.getElementById('console')
.getElementsByClassName('expand')[0].onclick = toggleConsole;
};
Use log("some text"); to output to your console !
Install firefox add-on to your Mozilla(if you are using) and you the follwing code:
console.log("test"+your_variable);
So above code will display all logs in console.If IE press F12 and check console.
If a normal user should be able to see it, using the console is not a very user-friendly way.
Define a space on your webpage (a <div> might be handy) where you want the information to be, and just add the messages to that space using javascript (or jQuery) to modify the DOM:
HTML:
<div id='logmessages'>Log messages:</div>
JavaScript
function log(yourMsg) {
document.getElementByID('logmessages').innerHTML() += yourMsg;
}
It might be friendly to allow the user to show/hide the div with a button or another way.
Create a fixed div either at the top, bottom or corner of your page with set width/height and overflow auto, then insert the log entries in it.
I'm working on project to provide a bolt-on tool for websites, which makes heavy use of jQuery. Presentation / design is crucial, and I want to replace the standard (ugly) scrollbar applied by the browser to html elements with overflowing content, with something better looking.
There are numerous jQuery plug-ins around that apply custom scrollbars and allow styling via CSS which is great, but all the ones I've tried seem to suffer from the same problem which is this: if the scrollable content contains a form with text fields etc, tabbing between fields does not activate the scrollbar, and in some cases can screw up the custom scrollbar layout altogether.
Two examples of plug-ins I've tried:
http://manos.malihu.gr/jquery-custom-content-scroller
http://baijs.nl/tinyscrollbar/
I've tried others also, but in all demos / examples the content is plain text. I've done a lot of searching on this already, but it seems no-one has tried using these plug-ins with form-based content.
All these plug-ins seem to work in more or less the same way, and I can see exactly what happens and why, but just wondered if anyone else has had this problem and / or found a solution?
This issue can be easily replicated as follows (using the tinyscrollbar plug-in):
Add this to a standard html test page -
CSS:
<style>
#tinyscrollbartest { width: 520px; height: 250px; padding-right: 20px; background-color: #eee; }
#tinyscrollbartest .viewport { width: 500px; height: 200px; overflow: hidden; position: relative; }
#tinyscrollbartest .overview { list-style: none; position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; }
#tinyscrollbartest .scrollbar { position: relative; float: right; width: 15px; }
#tinyscrollbartest .track { background: #d8eefd; height: 100%; width: 13px; position: relative; padding: 0 1px; }
#tinyscrollbartest .thumb { height: 20px; width: 13px; cursor: pointer; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: 0; }
#tinyscrollbartest .thumb .end { overflow: hidden; height: 5px; width: 13px; }
#tinyscrollbartest .thumb, #tinyscrollbartest .thumb .end { background-color: #003d5d; }
#tinyscrollbartest .disable { display: none; }
</style>
Html:
<div id="tinyscrollbartest">
<div class="scrollbar">
<div class="track">
<div class="thumb">
<div class="end"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="viewport">
<div class="overview">
</p>Here's a text field: <input type="text"/><p>
...
// lots of content to force scrollbar to appear,
// and to push the next field out of sight ..
...
<p>Here's another field: <input type="text"/></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Plug-in reference (assuming jquery libraries etc are referenced also):
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/jquery.tinyscrollbar.min.js"></script>
Jquery code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#tinyscrollbartest').tinyscrollbar();
});
</script>
Now click in the first text field so it has focus, hit the tab key to move to the next one and see what happens.
I understand your problem.. But is hard to find a good solution to this. You could try to set a focus event on your form elements. And let this event trigger the scrollbar_update function of tinyscrollbar. You can set the offsetTop of the form element that currently has focus as the methods parameter. I think that would work.
$('formelements').focus(function(){
YourScrollbar.tinyscrollbar_update(this.offsetTop);
});
I had to overwrite the standard tabbing functionality with my own:
$(".scrollable").each(function() {
if (!$(this).data("scrollbar"))
{
$(this).data("scrollbar", new Scrollbar({
holder:$(this)
}));
$(this).find("input").bind("keydown", function(e)
{
var keyCode = e.keyCode || e.which;
if (keyCode == 9)
{
e.preventDefault();
var scrollTo = $(this);
if (e.shiftKey)
{
var nextInput = $(this).prevAll("input:not([type=hidden])").first();
scrollTo = nextInput.prevAll("input:not([type=hidden]), label").first();
}
else
{
var nextInput = $(this).nextAll("input:not([type=hidden])").first();
}
if (nextInput.length)
{
console.log(scrollTo);
$(this).closest(".scrollable").data("scrollbar").scrollTo(scrollTo, function()
{
nextInput.focus().select();
});
}
}
});
}
});
It's a bit annoying to have to wait for the scroll but I don't see any other option.
I have a layout where images "float" within a certain area. The layout looks like this:
The source like this:
<div class="free_tile">
<a class="img_container canonical" href="/photos/10">
<img class="canonical" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/t4e-development/photos/1/10/andrew_burleson_10_tile.jpg?1303238025" alt="Andrew_burleson_10_tile">
<!-- EDIT: I am aware that I can put the badge here. See the edit notes and image below. -->
</a>
<div class="location">Houston</div>
<div class="taxonomy"> T6 | Conduit | Infrastructure </div>
</div>
The CSS looks like this (in SCSS):
div.free_tile { width: 176px; height: 206px; float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0; position: relative;
&.last { margin: 0 0 20px 0; }
a.img_container { display: block; width: 176px; height: 158px; text-align: center; line-height: 156px; margin-bottom: 10px; }
img { margin: 0; border: 1px solid $dark3; display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle; #include boxShadow;
&.canonical { border: 1px solid $transect; }
}
.location, .taxonomy { width: 176px; }
.location { font-weight: 700; }
.taxonomy { line-height: 10px; font-size: 10px; text-transform: uppercase; height: 20px; overflow: hidden; }
}
div.transect_badge { height: 20px; width: 20px; background: url('/images/transect-badge.png'); }
So, basically the images are sitting vertically-aligned middle and text-aligned center, and they have a maximum width of 176 and max height of 158, but they're cropped to maintain the original aspect ratio so the actual top corner of each image falls differently depending on which image it is.
I have a badge that I'd like to put in the top corner of certain images (when the image is "canonical"). You see the style for this above (div.transect_badge).
The problem, of course, is I don't know where the top corner of the image will be so I can't hardcode the position via CSS.
I assume that I'll need to do this via jQuery or something. So, I started with a jQuery method to automatically append the badge div to any canonical images. That works fine, but I can't figure out how to position it over the top left corner.
How can this be done? (ideally using just HTML and CSS, but realistically using JS/jQuery)
--EDIT--
Here's the problem: The image is floating inside a container, so the corner of the image might fall anywhere inside the outer limits of the container. Here's an example of what happens if I try to use position:absolute; top:0; left:0 inside the same container the image is bound by:
It took some tryouts, but here it is: the size independent image badge positioner.
HTML:
<div class="tile">
<span class="photo">
<img src="/photos/10.jpg" alt="10" /><ins></ins>
</span>
<p class="location">Houston</p>
<p class="taxonomy">T6 | Conduit | Infrastructure</p>
</div>
CSS:
.tile {
float: left;
width: 176px;
height: 206px;
margin: 0 20px 20px 0;
}
.photo {
display: block;
width: 176px;
height: 158px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 158px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
a {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
line-height: 0;
}
img {
border: none;
vertical-align: middle;
}
ins {
background: url('/images/badge.png') no-repeat 0 0;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
}
Example:
In previous less successful attempts (see edit history), the problem was getting the image vertically centered ánd to get its parent the same size (in order to position the badge in the top-left of that parent). As inline element that parent doesn't care about the height of its contents and thus remains to small, but as block element it stretches to hís parent's size and thus got to high, see demonstration fiddle. The trick seems to be to give that parent a very small line-height (e.g. 0) and display it as an inline-block. That way the parent will grow according to its childs.
Tested in Opera 11, Chrome 11, IE8, IE9, FF4 and Safari 5 with all DTD's. IE7 fails, but a center-top alignment of the photo with badge at the right position isn't that bad at all. Works also for IE7 now because I deleted the spaces in the markup within the a tag. Haha, how weird!
EDIT3: This solution is very similar to my original solution. I didn't really look at your code much so I should have noticed this earlier. Your a tag is already wrapping each image so you can just add the badge in there and position it absolute. The a tag doesn't need width/height. Also you must add the badge image at the beginning of your a tag.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/wdm954/czxj2/1/
div.free_tile {
width: 176px;
height: 206px;
float: left;
}
a.img_container {
display: block;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
span.transect_badge {
display:block;
position: absolute;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background-image: url('/images/transect-badge.png');
}
HTML...
<a class="img_container canonical" href="/photos/10">
<span class="transect_badge"></span>
<img class="canonical" src="path/to/img" />
</a>
Other solutions...
In my code I'm using SPAN tags so simulate images, but it's the same idea. The badge image, when positioned absolute, will create the desired effect.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/wdm954/62faE/
EDIT: In the case that you need jQuery to position. This should work (where .box is your container and .corner is the badge image)...
$('.box').each(function() {
$(this).find('.corner')
.css('margin-top', ( $(this).width() - $(this).find('.img').width() ) / 2);
$(this).find('.corner')
.css('margin-left', ( $(this).height() - $(this).find('.img').height() ) / 2);
});
EDIT2: Another solution would be to wrap each image with a new container. You would have to move the code that you use to center each image to the class of the new wrapping container.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/wdm954/62faE/1/
$('.img').wrap('<span class="imgwrap" />');
$('.imgwrap').prepend('<span class="badge" />');
Technically you can just add something like this to your HTML though without using jQuery to insert it.
Use an element other than <div>, e.g. <span> and put it inside your <a> element after the <img> element. Then, give the <a> element position:relative; and the <span> gets position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px;. That is, if you don't mind the badge also being part of the same link - but it's the easiest way. Also, the reason for using <span> is to keep your HTML4 valid, <div> would still be HTML5 valid, however.
I did find one solution using jQuery. I don't prefer this because it noticably impacts page loading, but it is acceptable if nothing else will work. I'm more interested in NGLN's idea which seems promising but I haven't entirely figured out yet. However, since this thread has picked up a lot of traffic I thought I'd post one solution that I came up with for future readers to consider:
Given this markup:
<div class="free_tile">
<a class="img_container canonical" href="/photos/10">
<img class="canonical" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/t4e-development/photos/1/10/andrew_burleson_10_tile.jpg?1303238025" alt="Andrew_burleson_10_tile">
<span class="transect-badge"></span>
</a>
<div class="location">Houston</div>
<div class="taxonomy"> T6 | Conduit | Infrastructure </div>
</div>
Same CSS as in question except:
span.transect-badge { display: block; height: 20px; width: 20px; position: absolute; background: url('/images/transect-badge.png'); }
Then this jQuery solves the problem:
$(function() {
$('img.canonical').load( function() {
var position = $(this).position();
$(this).next().css({ 'top': position.top+1, 'left': position.left+1 });
});
});
Like I said, though, this incurs noticeable run-time on the client end, so I'd prefer to use a non JS solution if I can. I'll continue to leave this question open while I test out and give feedback on the other solutions offered, with hopes of finding one of them workable without JS.
