I am using the JavaScript/jQuery script available here to have the table headers floating while scrolling down/up. My table is center aligned. When I scroll down, the headers float but they get left aligned, rest of the table is center aligned though. Here is the snapshot of the output that I am getting right now:
What exactly do I need to edit in this JavaScript/jQuery code or my PHP/HTML code to have them center aligned?

Example of problem
It's not the most elegant of scripts you've found, so I think yaponyal's advice is sound.
There were a few reasons why your fiddle didn't work: jsfiddle doesn't like the script's direct onload event attachment, so you can change it to:
window.addEvent("domready", function() {
this.build_header();
});
Additionally, the setheader function that runs every time you scroll, has to also set a horizontal position for the header.
this.header.style.left = this.table_obj.offsetLeft + "px";
See here for the reason why it can't be automatically centered. You could instead modify the script to put the cloned table header in a div with centered text alignment if you wanted to.
Also, the script sets a top value for the header without appending "px". That didn't work in my browser, I had to change it into:
this.header.style.top=Math.round(screenpos) + "px";

On page load, does the header appear right at the top? If so, I would suggest detaching the header into a separate div, styling it according to your needs and then setting a position fixed to the div. You can use the css property margin: 0 auto; to center data according to the width of the page.

Here is the situation, i have a fixed header with 120px height, and i forced the page to jump to #testdiv when the query string is #testdiv.
But the issue is when page jumps to beginning of the above DIV, part of the content will be lost,because it's behind the fixed header, is there any jquery to force page to jump to the #testdiv with not actual margin?
I tried the below code but it makes actual margin
if (url.indexOf('#testdiv') >= 0) {
$('#testdiv').css('margin-top',120);
};
I think there would be easiest way to do that, set margin-top for your field, and set the negative margin-top for your parent field.
It should be work for you.
if (url.indexOf('#testdiv') >= 0) {
$('#testdiv').css('margin-top',120);
$('#parent').css('margin-top',"-120px");
};
You can set margin-top via jQuery like this:
$("#mydiv").css("margin-top", "10px");
When you have a fixed header which you don't want to overlap content you need to add padding-top to the containing div (or the body if required) which matches the height of the fixed content to push the underlying elements down.
I am developing a windows 8 store app using HTML5 and Javascript. And I want to scroll some div content vertically. I am using following inline css to do so
<div style="height:100%;overflow-y:scroll;">
//Content
</div>
But Its only showing scrolling bar and i am not able to scroll the content.
This is how i am getting my scrolling bar, as you can see last input box is showing half and i cant scroll it.
I think i found a quick solution for this problem. Instead of giving height as 100%. Just give height in pixels that will cover your current window till bottom.
For example:
If your screen height is 780px, and you have 80px height covered by header. So if you want to use scrolling in remaining 700px. Use following code :-
<div style="height:700px;overflow-y:scroll;">
//Content
</div>
Hope it ll work for you as well. But Stil looking for alternate solution , if there is any.
In general, this is not a Windows Universal App problem, but simply an HTML/javascript one. By default, browsers scroll the body content that exceeds the browser window, but in the UWP JS app, no scrolling is provided by default. So, to make the content scrollable, you do need to provide a height, but the height may be dynamic. Using javascript, you can set the height more appropriately based on the user's screen size.
Basically, in the main javascript file, you can set the height of the scrollable region.
body {
overflow-y: scroll;
}
function setElementToRemainingWindowHeight(selector, usedHeight) {
$(selector).height($(window).innerHeight() - usedHeight);
}
function calculateUsedHeight() {
return $('.header').innerHeight() + $('footer').innerHeight();
}
$(function(){
setElementToRemainingWindowHeight('#scrollingRegion', calculateUsedHeight());
window.resize(function() {
setElementToRemainingWindowHeight('#scrollingRegion', calculateUsedHeight());
});
});
You can move the code to respond to whatever event in your app that would cause the scrollable area to change (maybe things are entering and exiting the surrounding layout, or whatever).
Depending on when the items in the list are added, and how that adding occurs, your requirements may change. See this post (which I wrote) about how to do this more dynamically...
I have a responsive header that I'm working on for a site that turns into a fixed-position navbar as you scroll down. It takes up roughly the upper quarter of the page.
The content of the page is in a series of divs / cards that slide up as you scroll down.
I want to add <a href> links to the navbar that correspond to the ids of the divs. However, when I do so, the div content moves to the top of the page.
So I get something like the following when I navegate to /localhost#first_card
---- TOP OF PAGE
[<div id="first_card"> begins here]
---- bottom border of navbar
[<div id="first_card"> continues here]
when what I really want is this:
---- TOP OF PAGE
---- bottom border of navbar
[<div id="first_card"> begins here]
Is there a way to control where on the page the hash link might render the <div id="first_card"> after navigating to /localhost#first_card?
I've been trying to solve this for you in JSFiddle for a bit now, and from what I can find, the best way would be to box all the cards into a seperate element with overflow:auto
The result of this, and as proof of it working can be found at http://jsfiddle.net/Entoarox/TT2JN/
This may not work for your site, but the only alternative is using javascript to solve this and I cant recommend that because it would cause a massive load on the visitors PC due to most hash related javascript functionality being either static or very new, meaning that to support older browsers, you'd need to manually poll if the hash has changed, either taking up a lot of CPU time, or having a very slow response to when the hash has changed.
Try the jQuery scrollTop() command. This will give you the precise positioning that you need.
http://api.jquery.com/scrollTop/
You might have to change your links up a little. Example with jQuery and a wrapper div:
<a id="first-card-jump" href="#first_card">Jump to First Card</a>
<div id="wrapper">
NAVBAR
first div
second div
...
nth div
</div>
<script>
$('a#first-card-jump).on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault(); // Not sure if this is needed
$('div#wrapper).scrollTop(500); // you have to measure how far down you want to scroll
});
</script>
Note that this might mess up your in-page back button support. Not sure if that's an issue for you.
p.s. If you're in time trouble, the simplest fix is to add a top margin to each div equal to the height of the fixed navbar.
Hope this helps!
I made you a jsfiddle
it uses padding-top to create the offset to the top, then it uses margin-bottom to remove the offset between the elements.
the relevant css:
/*
add top padding and substract the same amount from bottom margin
*/
.card {
padding-top: 200px;
margin-bottom: -200px;
position: relative;
}
/*
we need to reverse the stacking for this solution, so the elements later in
the document don't cover the elements before
either you know how many cards you have, so you can solve this in a central
css file (like below)
or you must add the stacking upon creation (in your template)
or use the javascript
starts from 2 because nav is :nth-child(1) in this example
*/
.card:nth-child(2){
z-index: 0;
}
.card:nth-child(3){
z-index: -1;
}
.card:nth-child(4){
z-index: -2;
}
javascript to reverse the stacking, using jQuery
$(function(){ //on load
$('body>.card').each(function(i, elem){$(elem).css('z-index', -i)})
})
If I understand your question correctly, you want to make a div appear in the middle of the page, right? So, to do this, you can just direct the page to the div above it. You can also make another div above it with a fixed height.
==================
Name: //html text box//
age: //text box//
//div//
//table//
==================
Assume the above as a HTML page. Also assume the table has atleast 50 rows so that, the entire page could be scrolled. currently, when I scroll the page, the entire page (div, table) scrolls. I want the div to be at top of the page while scrolling such as the figure below:
==================
//div//
...
...
...
//row21//
//row22//
...
...
==================
I would like to know if this is possible at all. I tried using CSS for div:
//CSS for div:
position: fixed;
width: 100;
But, it displays the position of the div exactly where it was earlier. But, I would like to move the div to the top of the page while scrolling.
Thanks.
This is NOT trivial
You will need to use JavaScript to copy div and make its position fixed.
You will need to handle scroll event to hide and show fixed div
I have a small library to do such thing for table headers , I think you can read the source code or use as-it-is for a table
demo : http://www.agyey.com/demo/stickyhead/demo.html
code: https://bitbucket.org/anuraguniyal/stickyhead
This is not possible in the CSS alone. As you already know you can use:
position: fixed
to keep the element in the same place with respect to the browser window, but in order to move it to the top when the content is scrolled you need to use JavaScript.
You may want to look at this SO post to get an idea how to achieve that effect.
You need to add this to the css.
top:100px;//adjust til the div is below the name and age section.
position:fixed;
I think that's what you are looking for.
I have a div of fixed dimensions into which some JavaScript functions will be placing text over time. When the amount of text exceeds the height of the box, a scrollbar appears thanks to overflow:scroll.
The new problem is that the view into the div stays at the same place as more content appears. What I mean to say is that it stays scrolled wherever it is as more content appears beneath, hidden unless you manually scroll down. I want to make it automatically scroll to the bottom as new content appears so that the user naturally sees what appeared most recently instead of what's oldest.
Ideas?
You can use scrollTop method after each text addition:
$("div").scrollTop($("div").children().height());
Use inner block to get the true height.
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/eyY5k/1/
I found this approach to work for my needs:
var realHeight = $("#history")[0].scrollHeight;
$("#history").scrollTop(realHeight);
Do note this uses jquery.
