html - Position elements on screen using Javascript - Stack Overflow

I am attempting to use Javascript to position some of my elements on the screenwindow. I am doing this

I am attempting to use Javascript to position some of my elements on the screen/window. I am doing this to make sure that what ever the dimensions of the users screen, my elements will always be in the centre.

I know that padding & margin can also achieve this, but I am using a custom movement script called raphael.js, & in order to move my elements I need to set out my elements absolutely (its a custom home page, where you click blocks(that are links) & they fly off the screen).

My javascript function to move my elements fails to move my elements. Any suggestions on how to position my elements using javascript would be really helpful.

  • 6 If you're already using something as adventurous as Raphaël, you should consider also using its friend: jQuery. It handles all the ugly parts like document.body.offsetWidth vs window.innerWidth automatically. – thirtydot Commented Apr 11, 2011 at 4:41
  • @thirtydot thanks for your reply. Would you be able to suggest a line of jQuery code that could place my elements correctly? – Mack Commented Apr 11, 2011 at 5:29

Reset to default 2

You're not setting the left and top properties correctly, you need to add the unit e.g 'px' for pixels.

document.getElementById("block"+i).style.left = X_OFFSET + BLOCK_POS_X[i] + 'px';
document.getElementById("block"+i).style.top  = BLOCK_POS_Y[i] + 'px';

"Would you be able to suggest a line of jQuery code that could place my elements correctly?"

The following code uses jQuery and will center an absolutely positioned element on load and on window resize.

http://jsfiddle/Fu3L6/

HTML...

<div id="element">Test</div>

CSS...

#element {
  position: absolute;
  background-color: red;
  width: 200px;
}

jQuery...


$(document).ready(function () {

    centerInViewport('#element');

    $(window).resize(function () {
        centerInViewport('#element');
    });

});

function centerInViewport(e) {
    $docWidth = $(document).width();
    $elWidth = $(e).width();
    $offset = ($docWidth - $elWidth) / 2;
    $(e).css("marginLeft", $offset + "px");
}
