I'm trying to create a HTML element that moves according to the coordinates of my mouse. I'm using the 'mousemove' event and to move my element, I use the offsetX/Y event's property.
If I only apply a horizontal move for example (so I only use offsetX), it will works. But when I apply the vertical move, it won't works anymore. I use the 'transform' CSS property and I know where the problem is, but I don't know how to solve it. It's because I apply a new property to move vertically, but then I delete the old property that let move the element horizontally.
So do you know how can I add multiple CSS properties (the same) to an element ?
I have tried to just add them together with "+" or in the same ``, but it doesn't work.
I hope I have been clear, and sorry for my english :)
Thank you in advance for your help :)
My code :
let box = document.querySelector('.box');
let x = document.querySelector('#x');
let y = document.querySelector('#y');
let area = document.querySelector('.area');
area.addEventListener('mousemove', (e) => {
x.innerHTML = e.offsetX;
y.innerHTML = e.offsetY;
box.style.transform = `translateX(${e.offsetX}px)`;
box.style.transform = `translateY(${e.offsetY}px)`;
});
.area {
width: 1000px;
height: 400px;
margin: auto;
border: 3px dashed red;
}
.box {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border: 3px solid black;
}
<div class="area">
<div class="box"></div>
<p>X : <span id="x"></span></p>
<p>Y : <span id="y"></span></p>
</div>
The value of the transform property is a list of transforms. So set both transformX and transformY in the same assignment.
let box = document.querySelector('.box');
let x = document.querySelector('#x');
let y = document.querySelector('#y');
let area = document.querySelector('.area');
area.addEventListener('mousemove', (e) => {
x.innerHTML = e.offsetX;
y.innerHTML = e.offsetY;
box.style.transform = `translateX(${e.offsetX}px) translateY(${e.offsetY}px)`;
});
.area {
width: 1000px;
height: 400px;
margin: auto;
border: 3px dashed red;
}
.box {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border: 3px solid black;
}
<div class="area">
<div class="box"></div>
<p>X : <span id="x"></span></p>
<p>Y : <span id="y"></span></p>
</div>
It doesn't work because you overwrite the translateX style.
box.style.transform = `translate(${e.offsetX}px, ${e.offsetY}px)`;
solve your problem.

The following code always shows the coordinates of the cursor below the cursor:
function showCoords(e) {
var x = event.clientX;
var y = event.clientY;
var coor = "(" + x + ", " + y + ")";
document.getElementById("box").innerHTML = coor;
var bx = document.getElementById("box");
bx.style.left = e.pageX - 50;
bx.style.top = e.pageY + 20;
}
function clearCoords() {
document.getElementById("box").innerHTML = "";
}
div.relative {
position: relative;
width: 400px;
height: 300px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
div.abs {
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
right: 50px;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
background-color: yellow;
}
<body onmousemove="showCoords(event)">
<div class="relative">
<div class="abs" onmousemove="showCoords(event)" onmouseout="clearCoords()"></div>
</div>
<div id="box" style="width:100px; height:30px; position:absolute"></div>
</body>
I only want the coordinates to be visible when the mouse pointer is hovering over the yellow rectangle.
If I change <body onmousemove="showCoords(event)"> to <body>, the coordinates are never visible.
How do I get the coordinates be visible only when hovering over the yellow rectangle?
Move the onmousemove listener from the body to the element you want to listen on - div.abs in this case.
I'd recommend not using the onmousemove attribute, in favour of using an entirely javascript solution - just to keep javascript-y things together. Something like (untested)
var listenOn = document.querySelector(".abs");
listenOn.addEventListener("mousemove", ShowCoords);
hello everyone hope you guys are having a great day!
so, i am building a simple game where I use a custom-made cursor as the aim for shooting div elements moving around the screen as the enemies and when i apply the "pointerdown" event i want the enemy to change its color. however, every time i hover over the enemy the cursor falls behind witch i don't understand why, and when i use the z-index property it will prevent the "pointerdown" event from firing. if some cool OG programmer can help me, it would mean a lot to me.
style
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
cursor: none;
}
.aim {
position: absolute;
background: black;
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
border-radius: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
.enemy {
position: absolute;
border: 3px solid black;
background-color: blue;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
}
javascript
const body = document.body;
const aim = document.createElement("div");
const enemy = document.createElement("div");
body.appendChild(aim);
body.appendChild(enemy);
aim.classList.add("aim");
enemy.classList.add("enemy");
let enemy_X_position = 0;
let enemy_Y_position = 0;
let enemy_X_distance = 1;
let enemy_Y_distance = 1;
function Flight()
{
enemy.style.left = enemy_X_position + "px";
enemy.style.top = enemy_Y_position + "px";
}
setInterval(function()
{
enemy_X_position += enemy_X_distance;
enemy_Y_position += enemy_Y_distance;
if ((enemy_X_position + enemy.offsetWidth) >= window.innerWidth || enemy_X_position <= 0)
enemy_X_distance = -enemy_X_distance;
if ((enemy_Y_position + enemy.offsetHeight) >= window.innerHeight || enemy_Y_position <= 0)
enemy_Y_distance = -enemy_Y_distance;
Flight();
},1000/60)
window.onmousemove = function()
{
aim.style.left = event.pageX + "px";
aim.style.top = event.pageY + "px";
}
enemy.onpointerdown = function()
{
event.target.style.background = "red";
}
enemy.onpointerup = function()
{
event.target.style.background = null;
}
Update
The event is not triggering because pointerdown was received by aim when it sits on top of enemy.
To solve this, add pointer-events: none on aim class to prevent it from being the target of a pointer event.
More about pointer-events
Hope this will help!
.aim {
position: absolute;
background: black;
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
border-radius: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
pointer-events: none;
}
Original
Perhaps an over simplified solution, but it seems that if you reverse the order of appendChild, the aim should be stacked over enemy without additional styling.
Example:
body.appendChild(enemy);
body.appendChild(aim);
Because both elements are child of body, Unless there is other styling that override this stacking, the later one should be on top.
I have two elements, and one is moving towards the other. I am trying to get the new distance as it moves closer. Consider the code below:

When bull reaches comes within 3px of mount, nothing happens... I've pretty much explained the issue as best as I can.

Well i tried a little bit more, and your logic doens't seem to fit to what you want to do. First of all, you probably noticed your value in the log doesn't change.
It could have been because the values are retreived outside the loop, but not only (they actually have to be in the loop to be updated). You have 2 other problems: first, you are measuring the elements width and height, which don't take account of margin or other positioning. Your elements don't change size, so the value also won't. The other problem is actually the transition itself on the movement. Because of the delay, all your loop iterations are most probably done, and the margin already set to its final value when your "bull" effectively starts to move. It means that in the loop, you can't detect the position change, the element having not started to move yet. Using the value that was just set (margin) instead of detecting the real position of the element should show a progression for the value, but it makes harder to detect the collision because your 2 elements don't have the same positioning rules and you can't just compare the margins.
Here is a quick example that gets updated values (because the transition has been disabled, if you enable back, the problem comes again). You'll notice your calculation for the collision is wrong too. You can't just compare a distance between 2 corners for that, for a rectangle it's rather "has gone beyond left vertical edge AND has gone beyond top horizontal edge" (this of course takes only in account the top left corner, to be complete, it should also be added that it must not have reached the right or bottom edge yet).
Well, I can't propose you an all ready solution, but this addresses your code main issues:
<html>

var ball = document.getElementById('bull');
var button = document.getElementById('one');
var mount = document.getElementById('mount');
button.addEventListener('click', go);
var x_pos = 0;
var y_pos = 0;
var bounce_point = 200;
var ball_dim, ball_x, ball_y, mount_dim, mount_x, mount_y, diff_x, diff_y;
var stayInLoop = true;
//ball.style.transition = "0.4s"; //i don't know why you updated the transition time based on position, changed to a fixed value outside the loop because it's quicker for the example
function go() {
for(x_pos = 0; bounce_point > x_pos && stayInLoop; x_pos++) {
ball_dim = ball.getBoundingClientRect();
ball_y = ball_dim.top + 10; // +10 because we're considering the bottom edge of bull
ball_x = ball_dim.left + 15; // +15 because we're considering the right edge of bull
mount_dim = mount.getBoundingClientRect();
mount_y = mount_dim.top;
mount_x = mount_dim.left;
diff_x = mount_x - ball_x;
diff_y = mount_y - ball_y;
console.log(diff_x, diff_y);
ball.style.margin = x_pos + "px";

EDIT/SUGGESTION: i suggest looking at window.requestAnimationFrame() MDN doc here for a better control on animations
I need to use JS no JQuery plugins to make a simple tooltip like on the image below.
Click on ? image should open this tooltip and click again on the same image to close it.
I think that it's simple for someone with good JS knowledge but I can't do it anyway :(
This is something that I have tried I know it's not too much but I am simply stuck.
How to display it like on the image, how to hide it when it's open and how to add that little triangle in the corner?
myfiddle
<img id="info" src="http://www.craiglotter.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/craig_question_mark_icon1.png"/>
<div id="ttip">bla bla</div>
document.getElementById('info').addEventListener('click', function(){
// how to check if it's visible so I can close tooltip
document.getElementById('ttip').style.display="block";
});
#info{margin-left:100px;margin-top:50px;}
#ttip
{
width: 280px;
z-index: 15001;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
display: none;
border-color: #666;
background-color: #fff;
color: #666;
position: relative;
border: 1px solid #666;
padding: 15px 9px 5px 9px;
text-align: left;
word-wrap: break-word;
overflow: hidden;
}
Clean up the css and this will basically do it:
<script>
function doTip(e){
var elem = e.toElement;
if(elem.getAttribute('data-tip-on') === 'false') {
elem.setAttribute('data-tip-on', 'true');
var rect = elem.getBoundingClientRect();
var tipId = Math.random().toString(36).substring(7);
elem.setAttribute('data-tip-id', tipId);
var tip = document.createElement("div");
tip.setAttribute('id', tipId);
tip.innerHTML = elem.getAttribute('data-tip');
tip.style.top = rect.bottom+ 10 + 'px';
tip.style.left = (rect.left-200) + 'px';
tip.setAttribute('class','tip-box');
document.body.appendChild(tip);
} else {
elem.setAttribute('data-tip-on', 'false');
var tip = document.getElementById(elem.getAttribute('data-tip-id'));
tip.parentNode.removeChild(tip);
}
}
function enableTips(){
var elems = document.getElementsByClassName('quick-tip');
for(var i = 0; i < elems.length; i++) {
elems[0].addEventListener("click", doTip, false);
}
}
window.onload = function(){
enableTips();
}
</script>
<style>
.quick-tip {
background: black;
color: #fff;
padding: 5px;
cursor: pointer;
height: 15px;
width: 15px;
text-align: center;
font-weight: 900;
margin-left: 350px;
}
.tip-box {
/* change dimensions to be whatever the background image is */
height: 50px;
width: 200px;
background: grey;
border: 1px solid black;
position: absolute;
}
</style>
<div class="quick-tip" data-tip="THIS IS THE TIP! change elements 'data-tip' to change." data-tip-on="false">?</div>
<script>enableTips(); //might be required for jsfiddle, especially with reloads.</script>
Edit: fixed formatting and a bug. jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/u93a3/
Proof of concept:
The following markup in HTML: Create a div with class tooltip, add image and a div with class info with all text (can be multiple paragraphs if needed, scollbars is shown if necessary):
<div class='tooltip'>
<img src='craig_question_mark_icon1.png' alt='Help'/>
<div class='info'>
Some text to fill the box with.
</div>
</div>
The div.info is set to display:none in CSS.
When the page is loaded a pure javascript is running that draws an image of a triangle on a canvas-element, and then creates a div-element where the triangle is set as a background. Then, for every div.tooltip:
add a click-eventhandler to the image
replace the div.info with a div.info_container
add a clone of the triangle-div to div.info_container
add the original div.info to div.info_container
You can test it with this fiddle. It is tested successfully on FF25, Chrome31, IE10, Opera 12&18.

I have this HTML that renders a simple arrow sign pointing towards the right:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
div { width: 0px; height: 0px; border-left: 20px solid black; border-top: 20px solid transparent; border-bottom: 20px solid transparent; border-right: 20px solid transparent; position: absolute; left: 35px; top: 53px; cursor: pointer; }
</style>
<body>
<div></div>
</body>
</html>
If you hover of it, the cursor turns to pointer. But because it is actually a square div, the cursor turns pointer even if you are just outside the arrow within the perimeter of the div.
So I wrote this Javascript addition such that the cursor turns pointer only when the mouse is hovering over that arrow. For this purpose, I figured the coordinates of the three vertices of the triangle from Firebug ((35,53),(55,73),(35,93) clockwise from top). Then I check whether the point in question lies inside the triangle formed by these 3 vertices. This I do by checking whether the point and the opposite vertex for each edge lies on the same side of that edge or not (if they do, the product of the values obtained by substituting the coordinates of that point for x and y in that equation will be positive).
<!DOCTYPE html>

.hoverclass { cursor: pointer; }
</style>
<script src="jquery.js">
</script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("div").click(function(e) { alert(e.pageX + " " + e.pageY); });
function l1(x,y) { return y - x - 18; }
function l2(x,y) { return x+y-128; }
function l3(x,y) { return x-35; }
$("div").hover(function(e) {
var x = e.pageX;
var y = e.pageY;
if (l1(x,y)*l1(35,93) >= 0 && l1(x,y)*l1(35,93) >= 0 && l1(x,y)*l1(35,93) >= 0 ) {

However, the results are not predictable. Sometimes the cursor turns pointer within the triangle only, sometimes outside as well (just as before), and sometimes not at all. I suspect that this is probably due to the hover function working overtime, that may be temporarily hanging the script. Is there any other way to achieve this?
This could be done using HTML5 canvas. Basic idea is to check for pixel color on mousemove on canvas element. This way, your element can be of any form as you wish. Of course, you should make some optimization of following code:
SEE WORKING DEMO
function findPos(obj) {
var curleft = 0, curtop = 0;
if (obj.offsetParent) {
do {
curleft += obj.offsetLeft;
curtop += obj.offsetTop;
} while (obj = obj.offsetParent);
return { x: curleft, y: curtop };
}
return undefined;
}
// set up triangle
var example = document.getElementById('example');
var context = example.getContext('2d');
context.fillStyle = '#000';
context.strokeStyle = '#f00';
context.lineWidth = 1;
context.beginPath();
// Start from the top-left point.
context.moveTo(10, 10); // give the (x,y) coordinates
context.lineTo(60, 60);
context.lineTo(10, 120);
context.lineTo(10, 10);
// Done! Now fill the shape, and draw the stroke.
// Note: your shape will not be visible until you call any of the two methods.
context.fill();
context.stroke();
context.closePath();
$('#example').mousemove(function(e) {
var pos = findPos(this);
var x = e.pageX - pos.x;
var y = e.pageY - pos.y;
var coord = "x=" + x + ", y=" + y;
var c = this.getContext('2d');
var p = c.getImageData(x, y, 1, 1).data;
if(p[3]!='0') $(this).css({cursor:'pointer'});
else $(this).css({cursor:'default'});
});
You'd better use CSS instead. With :before and :after pseudo classes you can do magic. Check out this Pure CSS GUI icons by Nicolas Gallagher.
If you use any CSS pre-processor, these icons can be wrapped up as a mixin, this way required properties can be assigned like this:
#icon > .close(16px, #fff, #E83921);
You can make any shape have cursor pointer with CSS only. The idea is to rotate wrapper container which has overflow: hidden (you can have several of them depending on the shape you need). In case of OP problem this code does a trick:
<div class="arrow"><i></i></div>
.arrow {
margin: 100px;
border_: 1px red solid;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
overflow: hidden;
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
transform: rotate(45deg);
}
.arrow i {
height: 65px;
width: 65px;
background-color: green;
content: '';
display: block;
cursor: pointer;
margin: -35px 0 0 11px;
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
transform: rotate(45deg);
}
See this demo: http://cssdesk.com/PaB5n
True that this requires CSS transform support so it's not cross browser.
