I've been working on a pop-up menu, one of those where you mouse over a button and a submenu pops up. Because the client wanted the menu centered, I gave the starting point of the submenu an absolute position, then used relative position to place the menu where I want it beneath the buttons. The code for the menu is posted below (in Javascript). Although I can't get this to happen on my computer (using IE5.0, 5.5, and Netscape 7.0), the...

Hello everybody, can someone help me with this problem: I'm creating a page with a sidebar, and I wanted to create the sidebar as a div which gets a "position:absolute". The problem: if the sidebar's content is longer than the main content, my IE6 will not create a vertical scrollbar for the page, which makes the lower part of the sidebar unreadable. Take this code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...

I'm using the code below to display a menu that opens when the mouse goes over the main menu item (try it in your browser to understand the behaviour). It uses "position:absolute" and a switch between "display='none'" and "display=''". However the problem is that - in Internet Explorer 6 the dropdown (<select>...) always hides the menu

Hello, as I understand the specs http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#x19 an absolute positioned block element is positioned relative to its parent element. This is told in the german selfhtml reference, too: http://de.selfhtml.org/navigation/css.htm#positionierung In fact firefox and konqueror do position the block relativ to the window border. This is explained here, too: http://www.w3schools.com/dhtml/dhtml_css.asp

I've spent most of the day struggling with what I thought would be a trivial problem. I have a hidden element that appears, outside of the normal flow, when the mouse hovers over an inline element. HOWEVER, I want the hidden element positioned at a location of my choosing relative to that inline element. Is this possible?

hello , I have an issue positionating some pics I want to anchor to an existing table cell but I cant just place regular position on the cell because the background is fixed height and the set of pics is bigger then fixed space. SO I put them in a position:absolute div and I gave a position:relative to the container td. This seems to work in IE but in Firefox position is relative to the browser window, not the cell. I need a compatible solution...

I was wondering if this is a known bug? Whenever I use the <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> instead of the <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

Ok, I want to remove an element from the standard flow, so its location is not affected or determined by other sibling elements, the only catch is, I dont want to position it using top/left/right/bottom, I want to use a margin. So I need to remove an element from the flow of the page. As far as I know position: fixed & absolute, make the margin property useless, so are there any other ways? Thanks, Josh

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
