Stomme poes

Lol! I went away for a while but I'm moving to a new house. I have two months of nothing to do while I'm stuck sitting here waiting for some work to be done. So I thought I'd drive people crazy repeating what they repeat. But it's hard to drive people crazy when, for them, it's such a short walk. :)

Yeah very, finding it hard to navigate, I think it's the new version of vB not to sure.

Hey, My220x here from SP. How are things?

No I am not a member of that.

I said:
"Usually when I hide and show stuff, since I'm building for no-JS anyway (always have a working, functional site with all information available without JS, then use JS to move stuff off-screen... that way those without scripts can also use the site), I start off using my usual centering methods like margin: 0 auto;

The absolute positioning doesn't come into play until the hovering starts (or in your case, when the JS kicks in)..."

-continued-

continued...
"So start out like this

#element {
(is position: static by default when on screen)
width:;
margin: 0 auto; (or whatever)
}

#element.aNewClass {
position: absolute;
left: -9999em;
whatever else;
}

Instead of a new class I have a hover event, but same thing. Since you're using JS you can append the new class onto the div, which will make it absolutely positioned and off-screen.

Or you can do it the other way around... start out abso-po'd and have adding the class remove that:

#element {
position: absolute;
left: whatever;
}

#element.aNewClass {
position: static;
other styles;
margin: 0 auto;
}

or whatever."

So the record is public.
