I'm working with InfoBubble right now, and I can't seem to get the actual tabs/titles off my InfoBubbles. How do you hide tabs? Just to be clear, I'm referring to just the actual tab at the top of the bubble, not the entire content area.
Is there an example I can look at, or some documentation that covers this?
I assume it must be since the label shown on the InfoBubble wizard is tab free, but I don't see HOW when I look at the source. (http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/infobubble/examples/example.html/)
This is my map right now if it matters: http://jsbin.com/ugabaz/3/
Thank you!!!!
With some libraries you could use some css to fix this -- the problem here is that it doesn't give the tab a good name or class or anything to get ahold of via a css selector.
But you can cheat!
ethiopiaInfoBubble.tabsContainer_.style['display'] = 'none'; // like this
Here we are using the infoBubble's own pointer to the dom node for the tab container, and forcing it to be display-none.
The InfoBubbles you are using are designed to use tabs, that is the whole point of them...
Looking at the examples here:http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/infobubble/examples/example.html/
I don't see any without tabs, or any way to make one without.
If you simply want an untabbed pop-up then why not use the standard infowindow to display the information? That is what it is for after all.
Anyhow, if you must you could hide the tab in two ways.
Firstly, simply pass an empty string to the tab title parameter. This will stop the text appearing but you will still get a small square.
i.e. ethiopiaInfoBubble.addTab('', ethiopiaContentString);
Secondly, you could edit the InfoBuble code so that the inline css hides the tab.
Specifically the code that writes the following element...
<div style="float: left; position: relative; cursor: pointer; background-color: rgb(127, 21, 66); border-width: 1px 1px 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(127, 21, 66); padding: 7.5px 15px 8.5px; margin-right: -15px; white-space: nowrap; border-top-left-radius: 0px; border-top-right-radius: 0px; z-index: 100; display: inline;" class=" _ibani_1563"></div>
Should output simply...
<div style="display: none;" class= " whatever"></div>

I was trying to complete a simple task on Javascript.info and I'm getting my ass beaten by an "a" tag. The task is to simply place (and remove) a tooltip above the element on hover and I have no problem with the roof or the house, but when I try to place the box above the link, it breaks and I can't solve it for my life.
I'm asking for help here because the solution on the site uses position:fixed while I'm trying to use position:absolute and simply mimicking the solution won't help me learning anything. The problem is all on line 77 and 78, when I try to assign tooltip.style.left and tooltip.style.top.
If I try to assign it usign a literal (for example, "-58px"), it works. Otherwise, it just defaults to whatever value the tooltip on "house" would have. I tried to see what is going on with some tactical alerts and it drove me insane. It shows me that if I use a computed value, it defaults and if I use a literal, it will work normally.
I'd like someone to explain what is going on and possibly some insight (pointing out if I got wrong how position:absolute works, how element size properties works or something on this nature)
The code (I only made the part that is inside of the script tag on line 64, the rest is from the authors of the task):
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>
body {
height: 2000px;
/* the tooltip should work after page scroll too */
}
.tooltip {
position: fixed;
z-index: 100;
padding: 10px 20px;
border: 1px solid #b3c9ce;
border-radius: 4px;
text-align: center;
font: italic 14px/1.3 sans-serif;
color: #333;
background: #fff;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3);
}
#house {
margin-top: 50px;
width: 400px;
border: 1px solid brown;
}
#roof {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 200px solid transparent;
border-right: 200px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 20px solid brown;
margin-top: -20px;
}
p {
text-align: justify;
margin: 10px 3px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div data-tooltip="Here is the house interior" id="house">
<div data-tooltip="Here is the roof" id="roof"></div>
<p>Once upon a time there was a mother pig who had three little pigs.</p>
<p>The three little pigs grew so big that their mother said to them, "You are too big to live here any longer. You must go and build houses for yourselves. But take care that the wolf does not catch you."</p>
<p>The three little pigs set off. "We will take care that the wolf does not catch us," they said.</p>
<p>Soon they met a man. Hover over me</p>
</div>
<script>
house.onmouseover= function(event){
let target= event.target.closest('[data-tooltip]');
let tooltip= document.createElement('div');
tooltip.textContent= target.dataset.tooltip;
tooltip.classList.add("tooltip");
target.append(tooltip);
if(!tooltip.parentElement.style.position){
tooltip.parentElement.style.position= 'relative';
}
tooltip.style.position= 'absolute';
tooltip.style.top= "-"+(tooltip.offsetHeight+5)+"px";
tooltip.style.left= -target.clientLeft+(target.offsetWidth-tooltip.offsetWidth)/2+"px";
//alert("-"+(tooltip.offsetHeight+5)+"px");
//alert(tooltip.style.top);
}
house.onmouseout= function(event){
let target= event.target.closest('[data-tooltip]');
tooltips= target.querySelectorAll('.tooltip');
for(tooltip of tooltips){
tooltip.remove();
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Thanks already :)
when I try to place the box above the link, it breaks
This is because the tooltip box is positioned to appear under the mouse. Hovering over the link generates a regenerative feedback loop of
Create and append the tooltip element to the <a> element
The mouse is over the tooltip element
Fire mouseout on the a element in preparation of firing mouseover on the tooltip.
mouseout handling removes the tooltip element
The mouse is now over the a element,
Fire mouseover on the a element and repeat from step 1.
The roof and interior mouseover events don't trigger the loop because the tooltip box is outside the target element with the data-tooltip attribute.
You could try
Moving the tooltip box so it cannot appear under the mouse, or
Think of creative ways of using mousenter and mouseleave events on the anchor element that don't fire when hovering over the tooltip because it is a child of the anchor element, or
Turn off pointer events from tooltip elements:
.tooltip {
pointer-events: none;
}
Additional listeners used to verify the problem:
house.addEventListener("mouseover", e=>console.log("over"));
house.addEventListener("mouseout", e=>console.log("out"));
The additional delay caused by console.log did result in the tooltip box being rendered and becoming visible in Firefox, but the log output definitely confirms the feed back loop in action.
I am trying to implement a drop-down menu containing notifications, like this page has: http://infinite-woodland-5276.herokuapp.com/index.html. The bullhorn icon in the top right part of the site, and it's menu, is what I am trying to recreate.
I have succesfully made a header menu icon, with a list of items. However I can't make the scrollbar work.
It's using the jquery plugin slimScroll, found here: http://rocha.la/jQuery-slimScroll.
The attatchment of the scrollbar seems extremely simple and straight forward, in the tutorials. Here is what I do:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#main-navbar-notifications').slimScroll({
height : 250
});
});
After implementing this code, This code appears in my DOM:
<div class="slimScrollBar" style="width: 7px; position: absolute; top: 0px; opacity: 0.4; display: none; border-radius: 7px; z-index: 99; right: 1px; height: 195.925px; background: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></div>
<div class="slimScrollRail" style="width: 7px; height: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0px; display: none; border-radius: 7px; opacity: 0.2; z-index: 90; right: 1px; background: rgb(51, 51, 51);"></div>
These appear not inside the #main-navbar-notifications, as I would have expected, but subsequently. However, I found that the exact same DOM structure is present in the example I am trying to copy. Seems like it is as it should.
But my scrollbar simply does not work. If I hover the mouse over the div, nothing happens. I tried setting the scrollbar to always be visible, and still nothing happened. Then I went into the HTML itself, in chrome inspector, and manually set the scrollbar and rail to be visible. That worked for visibility, as they visually appeared exactly as I would have expected them to, but they still didn't react to any mouse actions.
The only info I have been able to find on the subject, is to make sure that my scrolling div is set to position: relative;, but that didn't do anything. There are no error messages, or any messages at all in my console either.
I've tried to recreate my problem in a fiddle, but I was unable to upload the slimscroll-library there.
Does anyone know what this error could be about? Or any strategies for figuring out what the problem actually is?
Turns out, I had manually copied a <div class="slimScrollDiv">, a wrapping div which is supposed to be generated from the plugin, for the scrolling pane. Once I removed that div, slimScroll worked perfectly...
I am an awful web programmer trying to make a website for a school club. I'm using the fullcalendar plugin to display my Google calendar's events.
The trouble is, I'm using a lot of weird little tricks to get my sidebar to work, and I think that some of the css i'm using to get my divs to display in the proper places are preventing my calendar from displaying correctly. Right now, it's crammed at the top of my div (as you can see in the events tab). I just want the calendar to display beneath the header in my #events div.
I think the culprit lies somewhere in one of these css blocks:
.container div
{
opacity: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
padding: 10px 40px;
overflow:hidden;
}
.container
{
font-family: Avant Garde,Avantgarde,Century Gothic,CenturyGothic,AppleGothic,sans-serif;
width:80%;
min-height: 100%;
left:20%;
background-color: #ffffff;
position: relative;
box-shadow: 0 -2px 3px -2px rgba(0,0,0,0.2), 0 2px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
border-radius: 0 3px 3px 3px;
overflow-x:hidden;
overflow-y:scroll;
}
I play around with the "position:absolute" in .container div, but that just makes all of my divs go haywire. I'm really, really new at this. If anyone can help me figure out why this isn't working or give me tips on how to manage my sidebar more intelligently, I would appreciate it.

Also, if any clarifications are needed, please ask. I hope I have given enough information.
I think I might have a sollution for you:
change
.container div {}
to
.container > div {}
What you're saying with .container div {}, is that ALL divs within the .container must have that style. This is apparently not what you want.
With .container > div, you only select the div's within the .container on the 1st level.
I.E.:
<div class="container">
<div> <!-- this div gets the styling from .container > div -->
<div> <!-- this div doesn't get styling from .container > div --> </div>
</div>
</div>
I hope I made this clear for you.
Give a height to your div, either in the HTML initially, or in the JavaScript when that populates the div with something. Since the page starts up with nothing much in the div it doesn't have any height. Later the JavaScript is adding content, but that won't change the height, so scroll bars appear instead and everything is out of sight. So give it enough height to hold all the content (use em units for the height, rather than px units, so it won't matter what text height your users are using).
Also check out your JavaScript syntax - there's an unwanted comma I think in the $(document.ready()) function, for instance, which should stop that bit of code running.
Also correct your HTML (run it through an HTML validator - there's several around). The errors aren't causing your particular problem, but needs cleaning up nevertheless. It needs a DOCTYPE eg for HTML5. The link to normalize.css should be in an href not an src attribute, and the for attributes in your labels don't all point to field names.
I've been tasked to create an accessible/responsive carousel and have come across an issue in Chrome regarding the focus of hidden elements.
As per this jsfiddle (http://jsfiddle.net/ft1oosep/); if you tab until the hidden element gets focus you'll see the link is hoisted into view without any update to the css properties of the element.
For the carousel, this causes problems as I need to keep track of where the carousel is at any given time. I've attempted to blur on focus but even that seems too late. Is there an easy solution to this problem or am I going to develop some complex focus/tab management?
Thanks in advance
(Please, no responses suggesting carousels are a bad idea... Its the task I've been set)
Example Code:
<style>
body {
background-color: #f2f2f2;
font-family: 'Arial';
font-size: 13px;
}
div {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
a {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
text-align: center;
background: #A6C6DD;
display: block;
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:last-child {
background: #746F9E;
}
</style>
<p>Pressing tab forces hidden link into view.</p>
<div>
Visible Link
Hidden Link
</div>
In my case, I added a dynamic tabindex attribute, so that when the tab-able elements where hidden, it was tabindex="-1" (prevent all tabbing) and when visible it becomes tabindex="0" (tab-able in the normal browser tab-order).
The code will likely be specific to the instance, but in general, set the tabindex attribute of the problmatic element to tabindex="-1" on render, then in the event that makes the problmatic element visible set tabindex="0" on that element whenever it is visible (and back to tabindex="-1"` once hidden again.)
Accessibility note: very rarely should anything other than -1 (disable tabbing) or 0 (normal tabbing flow) be used for tabindex values.
Would adding a node with js after the first link gets blurred be of any help ? So while the carousel is running there is no node there until tabbed through.
I'm trying to figure out what is the right term for it so I can research more into and learn.
I encountered this tab, where you click on one the heading the blue line and a pointer pop up to point towards the tab content... (for example when you click on Books, and then click on Articles, etc etc..
Here is the example..
http://www.sutherlandlibrary.com/tabs/library-tabs-v4.htm
I want to know how you can create that. Or what is it ? so I can start researching into it.
Thanks in advanced, I know I'm suppose to search for it first, But i dont know where to start.
Cheers
Look for CSS3 shapes, for the actual pointy-thing.
There are plugins in ever major framework for creating tabs, or you can create a custom one with some jQuery. You'll need .on('click, ...) and .fadeIn/.fadeOut
For the tab-view use the CSS position: absolute on each tab-content inside a container with position: relative.
(community wiki because I didn't actually do any work)
The one from the page you posted uses a simple image for an <li>element which has the class .current on click (jQuery).
That image is positioned with a background-position: center bottom; and overlays the horiz. azure line.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/trevordixon/hvBpF/
Each tab is a <li>, and the currently selected tab has a class current. You'll see they have the following CSS rule:
.tab-features .tabs-list .current {
background: url("images/feature-tab-arrow.gif") no-repeat center 27px;
}
So the tab that has the current class has a 27px tall arrow image positioned just below the bottom of the tab. They could have also done something like this instead of using a background image:
.tab-features .tabs-list .current:after {
content: "";
width: 0;
height: 0;
/* These borders make it a triangle */
border-left: 14px solid transparent;
border-top: 14px solid #0088aa;
border-right: 14px solid transparent;
}
So to implement something like this, find a good tabs script or plugin, and style the currently selected tab like that.
