Popup placement

Jenny · Aug 11, 2003

Hi all,

how can place a popup window relative to the assigned
button instead of relative to the documents body?

I'm using: oPopup.show(15,150,50,50,document.body);

But the popup is shown if a button is clicked, so I like
the popup to be shown relative to the button!

Thx
Jenny

Hi

Pass parameters where actually button positioned.
depending on that relatively open pop up window.

Hi

Do something like this to get the element pos

<head>
<script>
function icyGetElementPos(oElement){
var e = ( typeof(oElement) == "object") ? oElement : null;
var o = {x: 0, y:0};
while(e)
{
o.x += parseInt(e.offsetLeft,10);
o.y += parseInt(e.offsetTop,10);
e = e.offsetParent;
}
return o;
}
function doIt(oEl){
var o = icyGetElementPos(oEl);
alert(o.x + "/" + o.y + "\nElement posY + ElementHeight: " +
oEl.offsetHeight);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button" value="click me to get my pos"
onclick="doIt(this)"><br>
<input type="button" value="click me to get my pos"
onclick="doIt(this)"><br>
<input type="button" value="click me to get my pos"
onclick="doIt(this)"><br>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps
