myfaces popup coodination (x,y) difference in IE and (Netscape,Mozilla, firefox)

[Yixing Ma <yi...@interfacemgmt.net>]

What should I set to displayAtDistanceX and displayAtDistanceY? The location
of the popup in IE and (Netscape,Mozilla, firefox) is different.

Did anyone have the same problem?

 

Thanks for help,

If you want x & y css co-ordinates to be relative to your parent, the
parent must be a positional element, not an inline element. Typically
the HTML/BODY tag is the reference as it is the positional element. If
you set your parent "position:relative", then all top & left CSS
attributes of children will be relative to that parent since the
parent is no longer positioned "static" which is the default value.

Firefox & IE behave relatively the same way with this. This all
assumes the code for the popup is using CSS positioning

If your html element is nested inside another (<div>, <Iframe>, ...) the x,y
will be reported
differently between the different browsers. I think I.E. gives the absolute
x,y and Netscape/
Mozilla/Firefox is relative to the parent element, so you need to use
javascript to add up
successive parent offsets.

What should I set to displayAtDistanceX and displayAtDistanceY? The location
of the popup in IE and (Netscape,Mozilla, firefox) is different.

Did anyone have the same problem?
