I have created an iframe (lets call it a div to simplify things), that has a transform: scale property that I'm calling with javascript.This scales the div, but however, it also shifts the div upwards. I would like the top to stay in the same place.
Background info (from answers suggestions): I want to create something that looks like google docs. I have created an iframe that will transform when an input box value is change (like google docs). I want the top to remain in the same place (like google docs).
1) I have tried in javascript to implement document.getElementById("textareathingy").style.transform = "translateY(1000px)"; document.getElementById("textareathingy").style.transform = "scale(" + percentage + ")"; I tried to put the translate both before and after the scale, but both methods do not work, and the div continues to go upwards when I put translate first, and the div does not zoom in when I put scale first.
2) I have tried to put position: absolute; to counteract it going up, but that doesn't help either, and it gets rid of my scrolling feature on the div. So in answers please don't use position: absolute.
3) I have tried using the zoom feature, but that doesn't zoom in on the contents of the div, so that also doesn't work.
For some reason, there is no error messages in any of my attempts.
Here is also my css for the div:
#textareathingy{
width: 820px;
margin: 20px auto;
height: 1000px;
border: none;
display: block;
padding: 75px;
background-color: white;
box-shadow: 0 0 5px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
}
Here are two pictures from google docs that represents what I want.
Notice how they both have the same "top" position, but it is zoomed in.
Use the transform-origin CSS property to set the point in the element that the transform should originate from. Set this to top so that the scale extends downward from the top point.
img { border:1px solid black;}

To trigger this from JavaScript, just access the transformOrigin property as you would any other:
let img = document.querySelector("img");
img.style.transformOrigin = "top"; // Set the origin
img.addEventListener("mouseover", function(){
this.classList.add("scale");
});
img.addEventListener("mouseover", function(){
this.classList.remove("scale");

I want to make the grid element to fall down to the page . I used setInterval to repeat the proces (the bottom will decrease so the grid will descend ) . I think I didn't create move() function correctly.I just want to know how can I set the function correctly .

.grid {
background-color:blue;
height: 20px;
width :100px;
left:600px;
top:150px;
position : absolute;
}
var grid =document.querySelector('.grid');
function move () {
grid.style.bottom-=4;
grid.style.bottom=grid.bottom +'px';
}
move();
setInterval(move,30);
If you would still like to implement your approach to realize this movement, here is some feedback.
Bottom value is String, not numerical (e.g. 300px vs 300)
If you want to manipulate the bottom value of an element, you have to parse the numerical value first, then change it, and then append a 'px' (or whatever unit you're using).
// grid.style.bottom-=4; // subtraction on strings is not allowed
// instead, use:
const currentBottom = parseInt(grid.style.bottom, 10)
grid.style.bottom = (currentBottom - 4) + 'px'
document.getElementById(...).style misses styles from <style> blocks and stylesheets
If you want to get all current styles of a DOM element, you should use window.getComputedStyle. As described in the docs:
getComputedStyle is read-only, and should be used to inspect the element's style — including those set by a element or an external stylesheet
In the snippet below, you can see and compare the values grid.style.bottom and window.getComputedStyle(grid). At first, the first version is empty, but the second has the expected value from the stylesheet.
Alternatively, you could directly apply the style in-line with the HTML element. Then you could use .style as well for accessing the correct value from the beginning.
<div class="grid" style="bottom: 100px"></div>
Check out the fixed version of the snippet below with a delay of 3 seconds for better understanding.
var grid = document.querySelector('.grid');
function move() {
const style = grid.style.bottom
const computedStyle = window.getComputedStyle(grid)
console.log('bottom', style)
console.log('bottom from computed style', computedStyle.bottom)
// grid.style.bottom -= 4;
// grid.style.bottom = grid.bottom + 'px';
const newBottom = parseInt(computedStyle.bottom, 10) - 4; // parseInt only reads the numeric value from the bottom string
grid.style.bottom = newBottom + 'px';
}
move();
setInterval(move, 3000);
.grid {
background-color: blue;
height: 20px;
width: 100px;
left: 100px;
bottom: 200px;
position: absolute;
}
<div class="grid"></div>
I would recommend you to use a CSS animation for that, you don't need JavaScript for that.
.grid {
background-color: blue;
height: 20px;
width: 100px;
left: 100px;
position: absolute;
animation: move 1.5s forwards;
}
#keyframes move {
from {
bottom: 200px;
}
to {
bottom: 0;
}
}

<div class="grid"></div>

I am aware I can use background-image: url("www.linktoimage.com/image.png"), in css, to place an image in the background. I also know I can add a javascript file into html with tag. My challenge is how do I apply css characteristics of a background image to my javascript file?
To add some context, the javascript file is a simple animation (randomly bouncing balls, that responds to the screen width and height. I want to place text on top of this as if it was background, but no matter what I do, text will place itself above the script, in a white box, instead of directly on top of my script. Below is the general result of my various attempts:
I would like to place "Welcome" on top of my javascript, as oppose to how it currently appears on top of window with a white background. My css is as follows:
#font-face {
font-family:'HighTide';
src: url('assets/HighTide.otf')
font-family:'HighTideSans';
src: url('assets/HighTideSans.otf')
}
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
canvas {
vertical-align: top;
z-index: -1
}
.title {
font-family:'HighTide';
font-size: 10vw;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
z-index: 1;
}
.enter {
font-family:'HighTideSans';
font-size: 2vw;
text-align: center;
margin: auto;
z-index: 1;
}
And here is the html:

Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you!
EDIT
Using position: absolute; works partially, all I had to do was add left: 0;
right: 0; and bottom: 50%; to re-center the text. Resizing the window would cause scrollbars to appear, which was less than desirable, so I added overflow:hidden; to the body tag. Now this works exactly as intended, thanks all!
I would suggest WRAPPING all of the content you wish to display over the dynamic background in a single div
Example
<html>
<body>
<div id="BodyWrapper">
<h1> This is an HTML Page </h1>
</div><!-- End BodyWrapper -->
</body>
</html>
Then apply some Z positioning to the BodyWrapper with css
#BodyWrapper{position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%; z-index:5;}
If the above is still not enough then you may have to delay the
showing of the body content (make sure the dynamic background
completely loads first).
You can set the initial display styling of the wrapper to
#BodyWrapper{position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%; z-index:1; display:none;}
and onLoad... call this function
function show_PageBody()
{
setTimeout(function(){ update_Wrapper(); },1000);
function update_Wrapper()
{
document.getElementById('BodyWrapper').style.display='block';
document.getElementById('BodyWrapper').style.zIndex = 5;
}
}
You can add a css transition for the opacity of the BodyWrapper so that it fades onto the screen instead of just appearing.
This should work (has worked for me in the pass).
If not please let me know.

A) You're missing some words from your questions. I'm assuming you mean to say, "How do I get the graphic to align its top-left corner to the top left corner of its container"
If so,
B)Your image has:
position: fixed;
Fixed positioning means that the element will measure its top, bottom, left, right values from the edge of the viewport (i.e. the window). What you want is:
position: absolute;
Positioning something absolutely means that its top, bottom, left, and right values will be measured from the edges of its last positioned ancestor. That part is important. None of it's ancestor elements are positioned by default. All elements have position: static by default. static is the only value for the position property that is not considered positioned. So, you need to change the position property of the svg's parent. I would change it to relative because it's least likely to screw with your styles.
At the end of the day your styles should look like this:
svg {
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
height:100%;
width:100%;
}
#image {
position: relative;
}
Edited for typos.
I have two HTML documents, b.html contains c.html using an iframe.
On b.html I need to draw some DIV (in my example id=selector), which partially cover content of c.html visualized in the iframe.
I need to get the ID of a DOM element corresponding to the mouse coordinate under the DIV selector.
At the moment Using document.elementFromPoint() directly in in c.html works partially, as when the mouse it is on DIV selector I cannot identify the underling DOM element in c.html (in this example DIV c).
I would need to know:
Is it possible to select element under another, using document.elementFromPoint() or any other means?
What could be a possible alternatively solution possibly using DOM and native API?
Example here (Please look at the console in Chrome):

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

<meta charset="utf-8" />

}
};
</script>
<style>
#selector {

A possible soltion is the usage of pointer-events.
The CSS property pointer-events allows authors to control under what
circumstances (if any) a particular graphic element can become the
target of mouse events. When this property is unspecified, the same
characteristics of the visiblePainted value apply to SVG content.
When you apply
#selector {
/* ... */
pointer-events: none;
}
All content of #selector and the element itself are no more interactive. Content may not be selected and events like :hover or click are not applicable.
Here is the demo with the above css: http://jsfiddle.net/s94cnckm/6/
Another possible solution, is to capture the document coordinates of a mouse event fired on the masking item(DIV.selector), momentarily hide that masking item, and then ask the document what is under that coordinate position (using document.elementFromPoint(x,y)) before showing the masking item again.
The support for document.elementFromPoint() cover also old version of IE.
Unfortunately pointer-events has limited support for older version of IE.
Here a working example:
http://jsfiddle.net/s94cnckm/14/
document.getElementById('iframe').contentDocument.addEventListener('click', function (event) {
alert(event.target.id);
}.bind(this));
document.getElementById('selector').addEventListener('click', function (event) {
var selector = document.getElementById('selector');
selector.style.display = 'none';
var item = document.getElementById('iframe').contentDocument.elementFromPoint(event.pageX, event.pageY);
selector.style.display = '';
alert(item.id);
}.bind(this));
Regarding the use of pointer-events I link to mention some related article, included a work around for older version of IE.

<head>
<title>Overlay test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<style type="text/css">
#overlay {
position: absolute;
background-color: #ccffcc;
display: none;
height: 200px;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 200px;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function hide() {
document.getElementById("overlay").style.display = "none";
}
function show() {
document.getElementById("overlay").style.display = "block";
}
//]]>
</script>
so when the user clicks it runs show() which places the css box on top. However i want it to be centered in the browser. I've set the margin: 0 auto; which should be doing the trick shouldnt it?
I'm just trying to create an overlay function without using jquery because it seems to be incompatible with my schools cms templates.
Thanks
Margin: 0 auto won't work on position absolute elements, they exist in their own little world, outside of normal flow. So in order to pull this off, you need to do an extra step. The CSS dead centre technique will work here.
Try setting the top and left attributes on your overlay.
Use % to set top and left position. Set css attribute top:10%; Left 40%;
