parent

Here's what I am trying to accomplish... "parent" has position:relative "div 1-3" have position:absolute However, whenever I do this, I find myself having to assign specific "top" values in my CSS. So div 1 might be top:50px, div 2 would be top:150px, and div 3 would be top:225px; Is there a way to make sure the divs continue to stack inside the parent without assigning top values and/or absolute positioning? Joseph A div should already display as a block and take up a full "row". Here is some HTML and CSS to give an example, compare it to your code: http://jsfiddle.net/mWcWV/ <div id="parent"

I have a jquery class within a normal class in javascript. Is it possible to access variables in the scope of the parent class from a callback function in the jquery class? A simple example of what I mean is shown below var simpleClass = function () { this.status = "pending"; this.target = jqueryObject; this.updateStatus = function() { this.target.fadeOut("fast",function () { this.status = "complete"; //this needs to update the parent class }); }; }; Now in the above example, the callback function tries to access the scope of the jquery object. is there any way to access the status variable in

<ul><li><div><div><span id="thisid"></span></div></div></li></ul> $('#thisid').parent('li'); that obviously doesn't work, but how do I grab the li element? I don't want to use: $('#this').parent().parent().parent(); I don't want to use it, because it can happen that there is just one div element, instead of two. In this case I would grab the ul element instead of the li element. $('#thisid').parents('li'); // ^ plural! Note that if you only want the first <li> element in the ancestry, you should use closest() : $('#thisid').closest('li'); // `closest()` is equivalent to (but performs better

Div highlighting question I have 2 divs stacked on top of each other inside a container. Here is the behavior I want: when you mouseover the top div, nothing happens. when you mouse over the bottom div, the top div background changes color, and the bottom div's background changes a different color. In the sample code I tried, mousing over the container div makes the top turn green and the bottom turn vlueviolet. I want a mouseover on the bottom to cause this behavior, but I want a mouseover on the top to do nothing. I feel like I could get this done in jQuery using a parent selector or

I was working on a wepage earlier this week where the 'banner-image' was being cut off the view-port of the screen depending on the browser and size of screen. I thought that by simply converting the Parent Container to 'Height: 100vh' this would make all child elements fit within the parent container that is now set to fit the height of any viewport. This did not work as I intended it to. The banner image was still being cutoff even though the parent container was set to 100vh. Is there a way to do this?

I have a class (let's call it A ) that is extended by several children class ( B , C , D , etc.). In each child class, there are specific methods that I'd like to be accessible from an instantiation of the parent class A . I tried to declare A as an abstract class, and to declare each child class methods inside as abstract. Then I implemented these methods in their own class but it seems that each child class must implement every method of the parent class. However, I can't do this. Would you have an idea for this issue? In each children class, there are specific methods that I'd like to be

I have a TPanel on a delphi form, I want to copy all the TLabels parented with this TPanel when i press a button and put them in other panel. Is there a way to do that? Thanks. To copy the TLabel controls from one TPanel to another you can use something like this Procedure CopyLabels(ParentControl,DestControl:TWinControl); var i : integer; ALabel : TLabel; begin for i := 0 to ParentControl.ControlCount - 1 do if ParentControl.Controls[i] is TLabel then begin ALabel:=TLabel.Create(DestControl); ALabel.Parent :=DestControl; ALabel.Left :=ParentControl.Controls[i].Left; ALabel.Top :=ParentControl
