  The only thing that will cause links not working, that is if there is a positioned element by hiding links from mouse events.  In your case, it would be #footWrap div that is SUPERIOR to any other element on the page (with a z-index 3).  "But not' tell you, because div #body has also a z-index 3, to which I say" you forget that div #body is contained in the #contentWrap div that has a z-index of 2, so #body div has a z-index effective from 2-in regard to the rest of the page is concerned. "  The z-index 3 is ONLY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE PARENT DIV.  Div #body would be higher than another brother positioned with a z-index of 2 and less than another child of the same parents with a z-index of 4, but each of them would never to anything other than a z-index of the 2 visa-vis the page.

  Furthermore, your complete disposal scheme is sure to cause problems.  This isn't the purpose for which the absolute positioning was intended...

• Absolute position and orientation of the camera

  Hey folks, I'm banging my head against the wall trying to figure what I think should be a fairly simple expression.

  I'm trying to get my camera to an animatic of a moderator move offshore, and is not imported correctly on its system at least that the camera is not related to what whether in sequels.

  So, my relatively simple (I thought) solution was to use the term toWorld on a new camera to watch the old one and generate the absolute position and X, Y, Z rotation.  However, nothing I do seems to put the new camera in the right place, and I can't figure out how to make the rotation of key frames work not at all.

  Little information about the project, the camera has separate X, Y and Z position keyframes and rotation keyframes X and Y as well as Orientation (although I want the final device to have X, Y Z rotation keyframes).  The camera is related to a null value which has alterations Y rotation.

  If anyone can help me to collect these expressions I would be so grateful!  Thank you!

  See if this helps:

  position

  C = thisComp.layer ("camera 1");

  C.toWorld ([0,0,0])

  point of interest

  C = thisComp.layer ("camera 1");

  C.toWorld (C.pointOfInterest)

  orientation

  C = thisComp.layer ("camera 1");

  u = C.toWorldVec ([1,0,0]);

  v = C.toWorldVec ([0,1,0]);

  w = C.toWorldVec ([0,0,1]);

  SINB = clamp (w [0], 1, -1);

  b = Math.asin (sinb);

  co. = Math.cos (b);

  If (Math.abs (co.) >. 0005) {}

  c = - Math.atan2 (v [0], u [0]);

  a = - Math.atan2 (w [1], w [2]);

  } else {}

  a = (sinb< 0 ="" -1="" :="">

  c = 0;

• How layer div rather than another without absolute positioning

  Hi again!

  Today, I try to shoot a div containing a SWF inside upward while it is organization layered on another div.

  Web Site: showcase restoration | Homepage

  I don't want to use absolute positioning, because then it goes back only this div and let the rest of the div where they were originally.

  Is it possible that I can exclude the function positioning and just make sure the header div can layer a bit on the empty div, packaging, and cursor?

  Also, I know there are errors with the website that will catch the scanner, I'll be cleaning up those very soon, it's just a matter, that I would get hit first.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  You cannot superimpose elements without adding a shape any positioning in combination with top, left, bottom or right attributes. The position "in the stack" (overlay) is normally controlled by the position of the element in the HTML itself, later in the code is closer to the top of the card game if you want. Index-Z must be added to change this default layering, but does nothing without positioning relative, absolute or fixed.

  You just need to understand the differences between a static, absolute and relative positioning (fixed also exists, but would not be used here) and some of its subtleties, to make this work.

  Static positioning is the default when nothing is added to the css. Most of the sites require only never static, as well as the floats, margins and padding to position elements, but because you specifically want an overlap, you will need one of the other three (my guess is on will be the best here).

  Absolute positioning is based on the upper-left corner of the nearest of the positioned element relative (relative, absolute or fixed). If there is no positioned parent, use the top left of the browser view port. Using absolute positioning completely removes the element of the natural flow of the page, leaving no space behind him and it will not interact with other elements on the page.

  Relative positioning is based on the normal position of the element in the document flow. Adding position: relative to an element, without changing what else, will appear to do nothing. Added up, left, down or right: value of attribute sets will move the element this sum of its normal position AND leave the space behind the element normally takes upwards if there is no positioning added. This will be to use very probably, as long as you are not moving your items over long distances (which would create a vacuum away where the element ends upward.)

  Fixed positioning is going to stick an element to something high, low or the adjustment of your use and even few matter how big/small browser view port is or if the page scrolls. You see this most often used with navigation bars "sticky."

• absolute positioning in IE7 problem

  Hello Dreamweavers,

  I'm having a problem with a new site that I'm working on.

  In the upper left corner, there are two elements to absolute positioning: an image and a H1 title as follows:

  . Primary h1 {}

  position: absolute;

  Left: 20px;

  top: 90px;

  z-index: 100;

  }

  {.masthead}

  position: absolute;

  left: 60px banner;

  top: 20px;

  z index: 101;

  }

  the two elements are in .primary div that has a position: relative.

  Works well in all browsers except IE7

  In the screenshot you can see that the h1 title seems to disappear behind the white square in the show pushing the image down.

  I tried different things, like setting ' display: inline ' to floated elements but no success yet.

  Site is here:

  http://www.productfotografie-fotograaf.nl/

  screenshot is here:

  http://DL.dropbox.com/u/604341/screenshotie7.PNG

  What could this be?

  Bob

  The only thing is that I recently heard say that Matt Cutts saying that you shouldn't br really do that...

  Listen to Matt.

  That was the point. I want the image slightly overlap the H1, since there a reflection that sits on the H1, which gives it a bit of a bright and more of a look "logo".

  OK - do the

  position: relative and include the image of the camera in the

  as well as the text.  Use something like this-

  H1 img {position: absolute; top:-75px ;}}

  and adjust the values of the left/top to overlap anywhere.  In this case, I'll allow you to use absolute positioning.

• Video absolute Position after stabilization of the movement

  I don't know if it's the best way to accomplish the task, but I'm trying to do is stabilize the different sections of a video clip.  I imported a video file about 30 minutes long in first pro and the same video in sequels.  Video resolution was filmed in 1080 p and I created sequences/compositions of 720 p, so I'll have to some extra pixels to work with.  There are several times in the video clip where I have a few moments of shaky cam, so the goal was to resume these sections from first to the after-effects to stabilize the movement and bring back the clips stabilized.  If you have a better workflow than what I do, do let me know.

  The issue I'm having is that I can't do the absolute position of the video clip of sequels after the stabilization of the motion so I can line perfectly in first pro.  The attribute of the position of the video in the aftermath will align not obviously the video when it is used in first because the motion stabilization has been applied.  How to find the absolute position off the coast of the video in the aftermath of implement first?

  Also, would the normal workflow involve export new clip stabilized sequelae and important in the creation and place it on the current video file aligned exactly?  If so, what should my export setting be to not lose quality?  Because it will be then again made when I made the first sequence.

  You don't have to stabilize the whole clip. If you stop tracking at any given time the clip will remain in this position until you restart monitoring. You can assign different trackers for each item you want to stabilize, apply each tracker a different null, then the images for null 1 (tracker 1) then 1 to 2 null null and so on to complete the shooting of parents. This would also allows you to define a position of the keyframes in the clip to bring it slowly back to a good starting point for the next section you want to stabilize.

  I hope you have followed that. Let me know if you have any other questions.

• Absolute positioning

  Hey guys

  Quick question, my site I'm working on a absolute objects that are positioned. It looks fine when in dreamweaver, but when I view in the browser its been not align as should be. Now, I put a link to the picture of how it should look and a link to the actual site. Please take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong thank you.

  Image link: http://www.flyingant.co.za/Picture.html

  Ashveer

  When you use absolute positioning, your element is the position in relation to the element of his parents who has a position (relative or absolute) on himself. If this isn't the case, it will be the position relative to the body tag. Please note that when you use absolute positioning, the element is out of circulation of normal documents.

  Solution:

  1. Place your buttons in a parent container, with a relative position value without offset to it.
  2. Your buttons of the absolute positioning will be positioned in relation to the container.

  I hope this helps!

• Absolute positioning text

  Hello
  
  For purposes of variable passage, I had to create a mx:Box that contains a few elements of mx:Label to pass elements of text. However, I don't want users to see these text elements, (I changed the text so that it is white in color, but there are still near the top of my application space). I tried absolute positioning by specifying the x and position, but it doesn't seem to work. The mx:Box code is attached. If there are other ways I can fix it other that manipulate my Flex as CSS code, I would appreciate it too.
  
  Alice

  Thanks to all who responded. Interestingly, I used visible = "false" on the part of the area surrounding the mx:Label and all elements had disappeared from view.

• How to find the absolute position of the end of the text, it can be one or more,

  Thank you

  This should help align your labels layouts, depending on what you did you do could go with absolute layout, docking station or stack (allows you to align the top to bottom or left to right)

  I'm not too sure that everything, however, to determine the length of the text, I would think that you could store the text in a string and then somehow programmatically count each letter & do return a result... not exactly on how to do it but it's an idea

• Absolute positioning is not possible?

  I have an element with a parent. I want to place at the bottom of that parent. I can only this margin with reflow. As soon as I do the elements absolute position Collard (so I can designate postiion it is, using 'down' rather than 'margin-top) the child is released from the parent, feeling low: 0 square at the bottom of the scene. #fail in the real world, I would never top of the margin for it.

  So what do I do in a situation like this?

  The same thing you would do in the browser right? Ensure that the parent is itself relative or static position?  If it's static position so all children are compared to the other next of kin who is the relative or absolute position.

• How to force the "absolute positioning"?

  Hello

  I want to ask a question about exporting CCS.

  I read in http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/export_css_images.html and a few other items, the placement mode is forced to "absolute positioning" where there is overlap of objects (or overlapping slices, which I am not sure of).

  I tried with this and used the trick to manually create a pair of small slices overlapping on a page to force the absolute positioning. However, in doing so, is it definitively settle "absolute positioning" mode, even when there is neither duplication of objects or slices by setting in Fireworks?

  Bob

  I found a way after reading the discussion on the overlapping of text http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/export_css_images.html:

  1. create two text object.

  2 move them so that they overlap.

  as long as there is overlapping of text, the entire page will be exported using absolute positioning.

• Floating a div with absolute positioning

  Hello, I'm floating a div wrapped around and have another filling of the space to the right. I used absolute positioning to align two div on the bottom of the package, and I think that's what it's a waste. If I remove the bottom: 20px; then the right div takes up 100% of the envelope and executes a push of the div floating left down. If I put the float: located on the div then the div will not develop far enough and will be at the top of the div by default. How can I set these two div so that the right one fills the available space, but the two are aligned vertically at the bottom? Here is the code I have so far:

  Add a line similar to

  . NAV {}

  Width: 800 p;

  float: right;

  background-color: blue;

  margin: 90px 0 0 0;

  }

  Incidentally, it is the shortcut method to apply a margin. Rule's TRorBLe or top, right, bottom and left. Adjust the function values.

• Cannot attack or absolutely position a panel during execution

  As far as I see it, I can't do what I want to do in Flex. Am I wrong?

  I want to place several panels in an Application to create the structure of an XML tree structure read running.

  I need set the position of each new Panel with respect to the previous groups.

  This means that I have to read the position of the panels created previously.

  To do this, I need their ID in order to remedy.

  To do this, I would need to build an ID for each panel when running, but apparently, this can be done in Flex.

  Even though it may be, I see no way to specify the absolute positioning with a call to addChild.

  So, is this not possible in Flex?

  I considered a tree control, but it seems to me that it uses only the icons, not components, such as panels.

  And my tree is more rooted, and I don't see how a tree control can handle this.

  So it seems that I must do all this in graphic mode and have to rewrite all the goodies of Flex from scratch,

  which would vitiate all the benefits of the use of Flex.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  You can do what you described.

  The first is of about ID. You can set all properties for execution. For example,.

  var btn:Button = new Button();

  BTN.ID = "myButton1";

  this.addChild (btn);

  This ['myButton1'] .label = "my button"; How to get a control by ID.

  The second is about positioning.

  addChild() function is not all parameters of positioning. It depends on the properties of control that you have added and control that you added.

  Each control has properties: x, y, up, down, left, right. So you can define what you want.

  In some controls, like VBox, HBox, childs place, in a special way. See docs for more details.

  Hope this helpful.
