Problems with Popup window and shadow.

2 New Member
Long time reader, first time poster.....

hello all,
Thank you for looking at my post.
I have created a popup that simulates a window. I have 3 div tags that I create, first div is a title, the second div appends the first div and a textnode, and then the third div appends the second div with an offset. This results in a popup window.

I have added a fade in to the functions which work great in Firefox. I run into a problem when I add support for IE - the node.style.filt er = 'alpha(opacity= X)'.

If I add the filter to the second div I can fade in the window but the shadow is allways visible (not too noticable but still an eye sore).

If I add the filter to the third window, like it should be, the fade in works on the entire group of div elements, but the first and second nodes are clipped to the size of the third node.

My main question is why adding the filter to the DIV will cause the DIV to clip any element added outside of the DIV border.

This code not matter how I write it works perfect in Firefox, only IE is giving me an issue.

I have implemented code to use transform for IE so there is no real problem, I just want to get an idea on why the clipping is happening once the filter alpha= is added.

Thanks

Welcome to TSDN!

IE has problems with filters if the element does not have layout. See link.

I read the link, and now I am more confused. The page indicated that this is a Read Only property, which indicates it cannot change.

What would be the best method to create a shadow affect with the style's opacity set?

Do I just need to append the two DIV elements separately, which I am now trying and getting no where fast.

The property itself is read-only, but if you read further on, it does say that setting a CSS property to a certain value can cause the element to have layout.

Hi, My question is this : how do I detect from another window which didn't create a new window whether it exists ? For example, is there a window-id's container of some sort that hangs around that I can interrogate ? I would like to find a better way of doing the following. I have a window (call it Win) that creates a new window (call it Win2) using window.open().

The scenario: 1) Generate a popup window via script. 2) Populate it (again via script) with content that features local (hash) links. In IE 6.x this works - the links work as they should, moving the document to that document position. However in FireFox 1.x the links load the main page (the opener) in to the popup. Both browsers populate the location.href of the popup with the main page's href... but this only adversly affects...

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,...
