Hi All,
I have to display a popup window using Div tag on a word mousehover, so i tried 2 different Javascript method to dynamically calculate the position of popup window, but non of them working properly, please help me to find the solution:
My method :
C#
function findPosss(obj)
        {
         var obj2 = obj;
         var curtop = 0;
         var curleft = 0;
         if (document.getElementById || document.all) {
          do  {
           curleft += obj.offsetLeft-obj.scrollLeft;
           curtop += obj.offsetTop-obj.scrollTop;
           obj = obj.offsetParent;
           obj2 = obj2.parentNode;
           while (obj2!=obj) {
            curleft -= obj2.scrollLeft;
            curtop -= obj2.scrollTop;
            obj2 = obj2.parentNode;
           }
          } while (obj.offsetParent)
         } else if (document.layers) {
          curtop += obj.y;
          curleft += obj.x;
         }
         return [curleft,curtop];
        }   // end of findPos()

          function getOffset( el )
          {
            var _x = 0;
            var _y = 0;
            while( el && !isNaN( el.offsetLeft ) && !isNaN( el.offsetTop ) ) {
                _x += el.offsetLeft - el.scrollLeft;
                _y += el.offsetTop - el.scrollTop;
                el = el.offsetParent;
            }
            return [_x,_y];//{ top: _y, left: _x }
        }


Note: Indirectly you can say i want to dssplay tooltip in IE browser using Javascript.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Have you stepped through the code and debugged it? Is it close? What exactly is wrong with it?

Actually the popup position is not properly define (let say if a word is top right and when you try to mouse hover the popup come to extreme right and thus it is hidden to users . displyed almost out of screen , actaully it should come to left side of word so that it properly displayed)

Popup window is evil in general, and in response to mouseover anything — even worse. Why torturing your user?

i think you have to be think relevant!!!

function popupwindow(url, title, w, h) {
var left = (screen.width/2)-(w/2);
var top = (screen.height/2)-(h/2);
return window.open(url, title, 'toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, copyhistory=no, width='+w+', height='+h+', top='+top+', left='+left);
}
