First off, I am sorry in advance- anyone who reads this is going to hate me.
So, I am currently finishing a webpage for a client. Things are going decently, except I'm having a bit of an issue with the positioning of an element. There is a little contact box that is supposed to slide in from the side when you click on it. The issue is that I basically have had my hands tied, and I have to use wordpress for this page, and this contact box is a plugin that the original author of this page chose. For some reason- this contact box always ends up behind other elements. I tried setting the z-index in the source code of the plugin by finding the name of the variable that is supposed to hold the instance of the slider- and I could not get anything to work (partially because I havent used jquery in a while, and, this isn't my plugin). I tried using the .zIndex function, but, it kept throwing errors. So, I went to CSS. I got the IDs of the wrapper and the actual box itself, and set their z-index to 100. This did nothing, which has left me stumped. Unfortunately, I can only provide links to the site, and a pastebin of the plugin's code- since the source code for the website is huge... and I also dont actually have access to the server- only the WordPress admin page (which doesnt allow me to edit the source of pages)

If anyone could help me figure out what I need to apply the z-index to to make the stupid contact form stay on top, I would be very greatful. I apologize for the inconvenience of not having the actual code offhand (with the exception of what the browser can show me)
z-index only applies to positioned elements.
Then, in order to make div.dwp-contact-wrapper{z-index: 2000} work, you need
div.dwp-contact-wrapper {
position: relative;
}

I am trying to implement a custom widget plugin for CKEditor5, but am having hard time creating a widget that would prevent link clicks so that user stays on the same page and can edit the component itself.
I've initially started with this structure:
pluginWrapper > contentItemA + contentItemB + contentItemC
but although that mostly worked, balloons for that widget were misaligned. Meaning if I set a link it wrapped properly and link clicks actions were prevented, but the floating bar for link edit was misaligned as pluginWrapper was also positioned to "float: right";
So, I've tried to get some inspiration with a figure as e.g. visible here in the editor demo at the top of the page: https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/features/images/images-overview.html
Here, if you set a link it works properly, including the balloons. Apparently because the figure is floating but all content is not. So I tried doing the same. Unfortunately unlike in the official example my link now became clickable when editing, which is far from desirable :(. And I can't prevent that with css to keep the content clickable and editable and my attempts in JS were not successful.
I was somehow hoping it does this automatically, either by the evt.stop() or data.preventDefault() here: https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/blob/master/packages/ckeditor5-link/src/linkediting.js#L267 (definitely looks like it should), but it doesn't seem to like my plugin.
I have also tried doing something like that as part of my plugin, but that made no difference.
Either I am missing something or I am thinking I perhaps set the link up incorrectly. But if I omit that from my plugin and set the link up manually it still behaves this incorrect way :(.
However yes, this may not be the proper way to do this from the code, as I just add these attributes:
attributes: {
linkHref: "https://www.xxx.zz",
target: "_blank"
},
to the pluginWrapper (under pluginTopWrapper > pluginWrapper), and it ends up doing pluginTopWrapper > a > pluginWrapper with the a tag having the proper link, but seems to also ignore the target attribute :/. But I guess me being unable to set the link properly in code still doesn't explain why would the link be clickable when set up manually (using the link button in the editor toolbar) around my widget.
If you have any thoughts on this it would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
I created a site with a preloader and when I was done decided I no longer want it, but when I remove the code for it, it won't load past it any longer. It just displays a grey box when attempting to access the website.
There's quite a lot of code to show, but I was just hoping someone may be able to steer me in the right direction by telling me what Div is causing this via inspect element.
If there's any snippets of code I can provide please let me know.
The #main id on the upper most div is causing the problem. Consider using semantic elements like main over generic divs.
I have developed a set of code that allows for content to be loaded in, without changing pages, however I've got a problem, I need the links to change as well, but they don't.
My code:
I don't really understand what's going on with it, but if you make any changes, would you mind commenting them on the code please?
I've set up the CLeditor on a site I'm working on. Currently I'm setting it up so that as you type and edit within the editor, you can see a live preview of the results just above it, a lot like what you get when typing a StackOverflow question, though much more basic.
It works by simply copying the inner HTML of the iframe contents to another place on the page. However I've run into an annoying issue. When I use the alignment buttons (left, center, right), it adds the attribute align="right", for example, to the selected text. While it works in the editor, it does not work on the page itself, probably because that attribute is pretty much obsolete.
...
I actually figured out how to get around this issue while typing this question. Still, I'll post this question with my solution. Plus I have a relevant question to add to this.
Originally I tried applying the following CSS to the page:
div[align="right"] {
text-align:right!important;
}
This worked for initially loading the data onto the page, but while dynamically changing alignment in the editor, the live preview was not reflecting the changes. I thought at first that this was because the styles were applied at load time only.
Well, that was a brain fart because I know better than that. The real problem was that I was selecting a DIV element and the align attribute isn't necessarily applied to a DIV. Changing div[align="right"] to *[align="right"] works perfectly.
However, even though I found a workaround for this specific issue, I still can't figure out how the cleditor builds the HTML output for the iframe. Where does the align attribute come from in the code and how does it know to put it (and all of the other elements/attributes) into the HTML? If I had a way of manipulating this, I could simply tell it to use inline CSS for the alignment rather than the deprecated align HTML attribute. Please note that I do not wish to enable the cleditor's built-in "useCSS" feature.
Thanks for any information you can share, and please do not downvote this question just because I already solved the initial problem. I want this to be able to help others if they run into the same issue. (I'll also post my answer as an answer).
Applying the following CSS to the live-preview of the page works perfectly:
*[align="right"] {
text-align:right!important;
}
Don't forget to do the same for left and center as well.
I am coding some sort of booking system - calendar. One of the features is also a (js) pop up window with detailed information about event - user can either view them or edit.
Now my problem - I have put there a HTML select control (dropdown box), quite simple - 5 options. But somehow, and I have no ide why, this select is uneditable - that means that after I click on it nothing happens (I do not get the list of the options).
I know that now I should put a code here, however, whole system is so complex that it would take me ages.
I do not await exact answer or solution of my problem. I would like to ask you for advice - what would you check? I went through CSS up and down - no clue at all. Maybe some javascript? But how? I do use one public js library, so it might be something there, I checked as well, no clue.
Any advice would be much appreciated. I am stuck now... :-(
Thanks a lot!
Peter
::EDIT::
I have found out what is was! The ID if that pop-up window is bbit-cal-buddle and there is this line in the .js:
$("#bbit-cal-buddle").mousedown(function(e) { return false });
which basically explains why I can't select anything in dropdown (funny thing - checkboxes and radio works!). So my question is: how do I exclude my select and option tag from that .js command?
I've found a useful option when the bug is that obscure is to logarithmically comment your code.
That is,
Comment 100% of the code that might be causing a problem.
Test
If it works, uncomment 50% of the code you commented and go to step #2.
If it doesn't work, you know the problem exists in the code you uncommented.
Yes, this is somewhat of a monolothic technique, but I've found it to be very useful in the past.

Just to be sure, turn off ALL styles. this will render your page without the styles(obviously) and check if you can click the drop down. If you can, it is 98% a CSS error. It happened to me awhile ago - most probably an absolutely positioned div is covering it.
If you still can't click it, bring back the CSS then disable all javascripts. It should still be clickable by then since and html select tag doesnt need JS to be clickable.
If it still doesn't work, try doing a regular html select tag and check if you can select that one. If you can, then there is something wrong with your select tag
