I'm using the following code to reposition my drop down menus if they fall outside of the browser window area. However it does not work in Internet Explorer 7 and 8.
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#nav>ul>li").each(function() {
pos = jQuery(this).offset();
if(pos.left + 100 > jQuery(window).width()+window.pageXOffset-jQuery(this).width()) {
jQuery(this).addClass("nav-shift");}
});
});
The window.pageXOffset
property is not supported in IE (7 and 8, at least). Try $(window).offset().left
instead:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#nav>ul>li").each(function() {
pos = jQuery(this).offset();
if(pos.left + 100 > jQuery(window).width()+jQuery(window).offset().left-jQuery(this).width()) {
jQuery(this).addClass("nav-shift");}
});
});
More readable, IMO:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("#nav > ul > li").each(function() {
var $this = jQuery(this),
$win = jQuery(window);
if ($this.offset().left + 100 > $win.width() + $win.offset().left - $this.width()) {
$this.addClass("nav-shift");
}
});
});
I use this code:
var absoluteLeft = $(this).offset().left;
var absoluteTop = $(this).offset().top;
var absoluteRight = absoluteLeft + $(this).outerWidth();
var absoluteBottom = absoluteTop + $(this).outerHeight();
var viewportRight = $(window).width() + $(window).scrollLeft(); // scroll left will take into account the position of the horizontal scrollbar
var viewportBottom = $(window).height() + $(window).scrollTop(); // scroll top will take into account the position of the vertical scrollbar
if (absoluteRight > viewportRight) {
// do whatever to handle horizontal bleeding
}
if (absoluteBottom > viewportBottom) {
// do whatever to handle vertical bleeding
}
Did not have any problems in IE. The code assumes absolute positioning.
