Hi.
I have a page where you have to scroll down a ways before you click on something that opens a new window. It seems that no matter what number I put in for the y position, it will only go so far down on the page.
dhxWins = new dhtmlXWindows();
var FrtCsWin = dhxWins.createWindow(“freight_case”, x_pos, y_pos, 400, 300);
I also tried the centerOnScreen() function, but that centers it on the screen as if you haven’t scrolled down on the page, so now the user has to scroll up to the top to see the popup window. I found this forum topic related to this, and it still appears to be a problem: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=13668&p=40156&hilit=createWindow+scroll
How can I make a window display further down on the page (after scrolling down)?
Sure. I have pasted the source of my generated page below. You click on the numbers in the Frt/Case column to get the window popup. At the top of the page, it is fine; as you scroll down the page, the window still pops up at the top of the screen, even though it is passing a larger y position amount. [Unfortunately, this forum will not let me paste in the entire page. There are approximately 100 rows in the table, but I can’t paste them all here, so I only included a few. You’ll have to copy and paste some of the existing table rows so that you can scroll down the long page to see the effect. I hope that makes sense.]
Again, I have seen this mentioned in other forum topics, but there still seems to be no resolution or fix for this problem?
No, I don’t need the window to move when we scroll. I just want the window to popup in the position where I specify. It’s popping up at the top of the page, even though I’m scrolled farther down the page and am specifying for it to popup way down the page. (It’s like there’s a maximum y position and anything you set higher than that doesn’t have any effect.) If the user can’t see the window popup down there when they’re scrolled down on the page, they don’t know it opened and think there’s something wrong.
not sure I nuderstand correctly, but let me explain some things:
all windows are attached to viewport. viewport is an object on a page, by the default it is document.body, and in your demo also
windows have absolute potion in viewport, so x+pos and y_pos will calculated from top-left corner of viewport (in your case it is document.body)
if viewport is scolled by user - windows will scrolled with viewport (usual browsers behaviour).
if you want fixed window - i.e. document.body scrolled but window still placed in the same position - yuo need to create custom viewport and set css with position:fixed to it.
