Position layer relative to table

1 New Member
Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could provide a script that would help me position a layer relative to a table in my HTML file?

I searched all over the web and couldn't find anything. Basically I want my layer to be positioned say 50px left and 50px above the bottom of a table.

How do I determine the coordinates of a cell with Javascript? document.getele mentbyid('test' ).offsetxxxx commands don't seem to work.

Anyone? I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thank you. Pete

Here's my situation. I have a statically positioned table that has an image in a cell. I also have some layers, defined by absolute-positioned DIVs for some animation. Everything works until I scroll/resize. Then the image "moves" on the screen but the animation doesn't. The net effect is that their relative positioning changes. I'd like to have it be that they would stay in the same relative position. I want to keep the image as an...

Hello folks, Is it possible to position an item within a <td> element? For instance see below. The table has multiple rows, one for each database record. Each row has 3 hrefs associated with it (for edit, delete and update). I want to position these 3 href items in the same columns, which would be posible if the span could be positioned - for instance on the extreme right of the td in which it is contained.

Hello! This simple code won't work with IE. Can somebody iluminate me: why? Is it IE bug? I write it to gain possibility to move a layer (with JavaScreipt), but only within a parent (not position:absolute) layer. Or maybe there is a better way than a position:relative to do it? <div style="width:100px; height:50px; border:4px solid red; overflow:hidden"> <div style="position:relative; width:80px; height:200px; border:4px solid green;">

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...
