The problem, which exists in both Firefox and Chrome, is that I have a canvas with a solid background, and a div with a solid background color/image. The div is margined up over top of the canvas. The div does not display over the canvas. An interesting note is that if there is text inside the div it will properly get displayed. This would mean it's a browser bug... in both browsers. Here is some code for people that want to try it.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#d{background-color:#111;margin-top:-150px;z-index:999999;}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function load() {
var c = document.getElementById("c").getContext("2d");
c.fillStyle = "rgba(255, 200, 200, 1)";
c.fillRect(0, 0, c.canvas.width, c.canvas.height);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="load()">
<canvas id="c" width="500" height="300"></canvas>
<div id="d" style="width:500px;height:300px"></div>
</body>
</html>
So, anybody have any workarounds? Or is there something that I missed in the HTML5 spec that says this is correct?
As a note, please do not ask why I want to use margins instead of fixed/absolute/etc... alternatives. I need margins.
This can only be fixed by applying the style:
#d {position:relative;}
or
#d {position:absolute;}
This occurred to me recently and instead of changing how it's laid out, I switched from div to using a span with display:inline-block.
Works on Firefox/Chrome/Safari.
Have not tested in IE.
Use the following code, hope it helps you:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#c{background-color:#000;z-index:-1;position: fixed;}
#d{background-color:#aa00aa;margin-top:-50px;z-index:0;}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function load() {
var cntx = document.getElementById("c").getContext("2d");
cntx.fillStyle = "rgba(255, 200, 200, 1)";
cntx.canvas.top = "0";
cntx.canvas.left = "0";
cntx.fillRect(0, 0, cntx.canvas.width, cntx.canvas.height);
var obj = document.getElementById("d");
obj.style.position = "fixed";
obj.style.top = 50;
obj.style.left = 0;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="load()">
<canvas id="c" width="500" height="300"></canvas>
<div id="d" style="width:500px;height:300px"></div>
</body>
Adding a position:relative; (or absolute) to #d seems to work in both chrome and firefox. No idea why, if you ask me. Is that good for you?
well i've read your question, and i understand you dont want to use position....whoever you have to use position to get z-index to work. position:relative literally is doing nothing in this case, save what you are requesting. here is a solution, although it relies on position:relative

i would like to know what the best way and if there is a simple demo on the web
thanks
Lots of ways to solve your need:
Here's one solution using an html canvas: http://jsfiddle.net/m1erickson/86f4C/
Example code (could be fully automated with jquery+css-classes):
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="css/reset.css" /> <!-- reset css -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.2/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<style>
body{ background-color: ivory; margin:0; padding:0; }
#canvas{
position:absolute;
border:1px solid red;
width:100%;height:100%;
}
.draggable{
width:50px;
height:30px;
background:skyblue;
border:1px solid green;
}
.right{
margin-left:100px;
background:salmon;
}
#wrap2{margin-top:-95px;}
</style>
<script>
$(function(){
var canvas=document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx=canvas.getContext("2d");
canvas.width=window.innerWidth;
canvas.height=window.innerHeight;
ctx.lineWidth=3;
var $canvas=$("#canvas");
var canvasOffset=$canvas.offset();
var offsetX=canvasOffset.left;
var offsetY=canvasOffset.top;
var $0=$("#0");
var $1=$("#1");
var $2=$("#2");
var $0r=$("#0r");
var $1r=$("#1r");
var $2r=$("#2r");
var connectors=[];
connectors.push({from:$0,to:$0r});
connectors.push({from:$1,to:$0r});
connectors.push({from:$2,to:$2r});
connect();
$(".draggable").draggable({
// event handlers
start: noop,
drag: connect,
stop: noop
});
function noop(){}
function connect(){
ctx.clearRect(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height);
for(var i=0;i<connectors.length;i++){
var c=connectors[i];
var eFrom=c.from;
var eTo=c.to;
var pos1=eFrom.offset();
var pos2=eTo.offset();
var size1=eFrom.size();
var size2=eTo.size();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(pos1.left+eFrom.width()+3,pos1.top+eFrom.height()/2);
ctx.lineTo(pos2.left+3,pos2.top+eTo.height()/2);
ctx.stroke();
}
}
}); // end $(function(){});
</script>

There is a very simple way of achieving this with some Javascript and the HTML canvas tag.
DEMO HERE showing how to draw the most complicated element on your example which has one field with lines branching to two other fields.
How it (basically) works is as follows.
Start the drawing function with:
context.beginPath();
Pass the desired coordinates to the function with:
context.moveTo(100, 150);
context.lineTo(450, 50);
Then execute the draw with:
context.stroke();
There's some great tutorials HERE
use <canvas> if you want to use simple things like circles and images and stuff - for divs, you would want to look for alternatives like in Jquery or - like you said - javascript. For <canvas> you could try this and this
here's a link to a gist that uses javascript (jquery) to draw a path (and redraw it in case of window resizing) between any 2 html elements.

For GameRefCard I've using leader-line. It worked extremely well for me and is very popular it seems, if you are to trust GitHub statistics. I found out about from this other StackOverflow answer.
I am missing something likely painfully obvious. The only reason why I can find a canvas using "inspect element" is because it was declared when its id was attributed. The JavaScript is blatantly ignored. I've tried various commands on the canvas context; nothing happens. Help would be greatly appreciated. Here is an example:
<!doctype html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<header>
<canvas id="title_canvas" width: "1200px"; height: "100px"></canvas>
<script>
var title_c = document.getElementByID("title_canvas");
var title_ctx = document.getContext("2d");
title_ctx.fillRect(0,0,100,90);
</script>
</header>
</div>
</body>
</html>
You need to call getContext on the canvas, not the document.
This is what it should be:
<!doctype html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<header>
<canvas id="title_canvas" width: "1200px" height: "100px"></canvas>
<script>
var title_c = document.getElementById("title_canvas");
var title_ctx = title_c.getContext("2d");
title_ctx.fillRect(0,0,100,90);
</script>
</header>
</div>
</body>
The getContext is a canvas method not a document method. You also had a stray semicolon in your HTML.
I have anchors on a page that displays a different background image on mouse hover and mouse out. I have preloaded the images to avoid flickering and re-requesting the images from the server on mouse hover/out. The scripts works fine on IE8/FF but Chrome behaves differently. In the latest version of Chrome, the first time I hover on the anchor, the image is re-requested from the server causing a flicker, why is this? Succeeding mouse hover/out works fine and there is no flicker.
Code below:
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.min.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
body:after
{
content: url('/images/1.png') url('/images/1a.png')
position: absolute;
top: -9999px;
left: -9999px;
}
.imageHover
{
display:inherit;
width:25px;
height:50px;
background:url('/images/1.png') no-repeat;
}
.imageOut
{
display:inherit;
width:25px;
height:50px;
background:url('/images/1a.png') no-repeat;
}
</style>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var oneSelected = new Image();
var oneUnselected = new Image();
oneSelected.src="/images/1.png";
oneUnselected.src="/images/1a.png";
function OnImageMouseOver(target) {
$(target).toggleClass('imageHover', true);
$(target).toggleClass('imageOut', false);
}
function OnImageMouseOut(target) {
$(target).toggleClass('imageHover', false);
$(target).toggleClass('imageOut', true);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Converted anchor to image, but it still won't work in Chrome:
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.min.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
if (document.images) {
var oneSelected = new Image();
var oneUnselected = new Image();
oneUnselected.src = '/images/1a.png';
oneSelected.src = '/images/1.png';
}
function OnRatingMouseOver(target, newSrc) {
$(target).attr('src', newSrc);
}
function OnRatingMouseOut(target, newSrc) {
$(target).attr('src', newSrc);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="mainDiv" style="width:400px;">
<div id="inputDiv">
<table id="inputTable">
<tr>
<td>Rating</td>
<td>
<img id='rating1Anchor'
src='/images/1a.png'
onmouseover="OnRatingMouseOver(this, '/images/1.png');"
onmouseout="OnRatingMouseOut(this, '/images/1a.png');"
onclick="OnRatingClick(this, '/images/1.png', 1);">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</body>
<html>
It may not be preloading them at all, as it's not displaying them it's just adding to the DOM? Try the following code to preload your images.
var preload = new Array();
function preload_image(){
for (var x = 0; x < preload_image.arguments.length; x++)
{
preload[x] = new Image();
preload[x].src = preload_image.arguments[x];
}
}
I have to say I very much doubt that the pngs are actually being rerequested from the server in Chrome. Can you post a screenshot of the Timeline in dev Tools showing the request going off twice? :) I think it's far more likely that you're just experiencing a slight hesitation during the repaint.
Is there a reason you aren't using image sprites? They are the canonical solution to this problem. The idea is simply that a single image is loaded that contains both the normal and "hover" or "active" states. The portion of the graphic shown gets swapped out using css "background-position". Here's a tutorial, and here's a table of support for "background-position" which goes all the way back to IE4.
Code should look something like this:
<html>
<head>
<style>
#myCoolLink {
background-image:url('img/image.gif');
background-position:0px 0px;
}
#myCoolLink:hover,
#myCoolLink.active {
background-position:0px -72px; //depending of course on the image
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
No script required, and it's much terser. The other great advantage of this is that you can still programmatically change the image over to the "hover" anytime you want by toggling the "active" class on the link, if you ever need to.
I want to delegate an event from one element to another. I have this simple test code, and I get an exception:
Error: UNSPECIFIED_EVENT_TYPE_ERR: DOM Events Exception 0 ` at line 12 (the dispatch)
I have read this, but the commented line before it, makes no difference. How can I make this work?
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
function init(){}
function delegator(e){
alert('the first');
var other = document.getElementById('myCanvas2');
//e.trigger = other;
other.dispatchEvent(e);
}
$("#myCanvas").live('dblclick', delegator);
$("#myCanvas2").live('dblclick', function(){alert('the second');});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<canvas id="myCanvas" style="width:1200px; height:600px; border: solid black 1px;"></canvas>
<canvas id="myCanvas2" style="width:1200px; height:600px; border: solid black 1px;"></canvas>
</body>
</html>
It is important to me that all the information is going to the delegated object, since it will be replaced with various other objects like a Google Maps canvas or any other service.
.live was deprecated a while ago.
Since you are using jQuery use .trigger(...)
function delegator(e){
alert('the first');
$('#myCanvas2').trigger(e);
}
$("#myCanvas").on('dblclick', delegator);
$("#myCanvas2").on('dblclick', function(){alert('the second');});

I was trying to make a red bar (created with a div and a red background-color) that can extend from 0 pixels in width to 200 pixels in width. My code works when I insert a window.alert(x.width) in the function myF(), but the code doesn't give me a transition when I don't put it in. Is it just a problem with the setTimeout()?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function myF(){
var x = document.getElementById("bar1").style;
if(parseInt(x.width)<200){
x.width = (parseInt(x.width)+1)+"px";
setTimeout(myF(),1);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="myF()">
<div id="bar1" style="width:0px; text-align:center; height:10px;background-color:red; font-size:10px; padding:0px; margin:0px;"></div>
</body>
</html>
you should do :
setTimeout(myF,1);
instead of :
setTimeout(myF(),1);
