I am a heavy user of absolute positioning. It is used, in particular, to build what could be referred to as consoles. One could use relative positioning for this, too, but with a good deal more work (or just different adaptive habits). I use relative, too, in a situation where I produce additional input areas on demand. Content is absolute, out block is relative.
These, in turn, as a block can also be positioned absolutely. Less of a problem now, but it was the only way to make a page design consistent across platforms only a few years ago (IE, for example, was was a horror story).
Real lesson:
Don't listen too hard to others' opinions on the latest fashion in HTML development. Tables are/were frowned upon. Snobbery! Sure - you can do more with div's, but if you don't need that "more", life with tables is easier to design and easier to modify.
So - you need to meet your design needs - but only make changes that are either essential or that you perceive will come back and bite your backside sometime in the future.
Above all, you need predictability!

Since you posted this question in the Web Development Forum, I'm assuming you are considering developing a Web Application to solve your problem.
That being said, I would check out the following library to handle your PDF requirements.

(I have never used it, but it looks interesting)

The part of the link after the # character needs to be defined as a "bookmark" within the target page. You do that by setting the id attribute on an element.
Eg:
target.html:
<img id="image1" src="..." />
Link:
<a href="target.html#image1">Image 1</a>
You can set the id on any visible element on the page, but it needs to be unique - no other element on the page can have the same id.

Hey everyone,
My class assignment is to develop a functional analog clock using HTML, CSS, and JS. I'm having trouble with a one of the requirements which is using a drop-down menu to change the time according to a selected time-zone. My understanding is that I need to use the DOM to set the selector values, followed by some simple math for time conversions. Maybe I understand what to do, just not how to do it.
Here's a link to the code Clock Assignment - JSFiddle[^]
I'm very new to web development and any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need any more information.

Hi,
I have been developing a web application which is now a just a basic website coded in html/css/js. I will be shifting it to Rails platform (so I won't really need to implement this answer I am looking for in the long term). Like in Rails (or any other back-end coding platform), we can just define the layout (or template as some may prefer calling it) in one view file and write the other views separately. I was wondering if the same is possible without a working back-end.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Cheers,
Ritwesh

The Situation
I am displaying data from MYSQL database into a HTML table on a web page.
I am using CSS to display alternative rows in different text size and background colours.
I am using the 'hover' function to change background colours and text size
The Problem
The 'hover' function works perfectly for the 'odd; rows however for the 'even' rows it will change the text size but not the background colour
My CSS code
table tbody tr:nth-child(odd) td {
background-color: lightblue;
}
.table tbody tr:nth-child(even) td {
background-color: lightgreen;
}
table tbody tr:hover td {
background-color: white;
transition: all .5s;
font-weight:normal;
font-size: 2.5em;
color: black;
border-right: 1px solid grey;
}
Solution:
Can anyone spot the problem?

Works fine for me in Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and IE11: Demo[^]
The only slight issue is that the changing text size makes it very difficult to hover the next row accurately; as soon as the mouse leaves one row, its text size decreases, and the other rows shift up. It's easier to move in and out of the cells from the side.

Thanks for giving me some assistance.
I have no idea why I had the problem but when I closed the browser cleared the cache and open it, it worked fine for me also.
Clearing the Cache while open made no difference.
Padding around the cells removes the issues you correctly identified on mouse over
Thanks again

If you don't, already, when refreshing a page under development, use Ctl=F5 (at least in firefox) to force reload without the cache. There are also methods to add a header that forces uncached reloads for all - which at times can be handy.

Do you really want that leading "." ?

Yes. I think so?
I have a number of tables on the one page and I only want the styling to apply to only one table.
If i dont use the "class" option I found that it applies the styles to 'ALL' the tables
Thanks you for taking the time to respond

In which case, you might be missing the "." in the other two rules. It was the inconsistency I picked up on.

Thanks -Sharp eyes
But the missing "." in both cases was a poor C&P effort by me.
and interestingly noting should have worked - if the code was so flawed - I am increasingly amazed how browser development is progress in holding on to code when it ought to relinquish it - But that the future.
As you will see the problem is solved but the mystery remains!
Nice that you engaged in assessing my problem
Thanks

how can I call a function on a function from an object like this:
object.function().function();
it does not work ... that’s my code:
var doc = null;
var j = {
get : function (id){
doc = document.getElementById(id);
console.log(doc);
},
text : function (text){
doc.value = text;
}
}
and I want to call the functions like this then:
j.get(‘input-field’).text(‘hello’);
but it does not work
pls help

Use a closure:
var j = {
get: function(id){
var element = document.getElementById(id);
console.debug("Get", id, element);
return {
text: function(text){
console.debug("Text", id, element, text);
element.value = text;
}
};
}
};

hi friends:
when i use online sitemap generator [DELETED] my website pages aren't crawled and just main page is crawled?
do you know where is the problem? 
my website address is : [DELETED]
my website is an advertisement website and when a user enter to it for the first time he should select his city and according to his city, appropriate advertisement will be shown to him
is the current problem related to this issue?
|
|
|
|

Links removed: too much like site driving (hence why it was sent to moderation).
Linking to an advertising site? It's only that you have been here four years that saved your account...
Please don't do that again.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
