RE: [Rails-spinoffs] Element.getDimensions() support for IE?

[Gregory Hill]

Title: Message

As far as I know, no.  I ran into the problem when trying to make the drag-drop scroll the window whenever a part of the dragged element moved beyond the edge of the window, but in IE, the height and width were both 0 for the dragged element no matter what I did to it.  So, I could only make it scroll based on the mouse cursor.  Some items had fixed widths via CSS, others didn’t.  So, I don’t think setting them makes a difference to IE.  Once it’s absolutely positioned, it forgets the values.   Of course, I’ve been wrong before, so if anyone knows better, chime in.   Greg   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of SPENDLOVE, Matt, GBM Sent: Monday, April 10, 2006 11:55 AM To: 'rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org' Subject: RE: [Rails-spinoffs] Element.getDimensions() support for IE?   Does it matter if you set the dimensions with CSS  ?   Matt -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gregory Hill Sent: 10 April 2006 18:51 To: rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org Subject: RE: [Rails-spinoffs] Element.getDimensions() support for IE? I'm not sure if this applies to your situation or not, but IE will not return dimensions for elements with position = absolute.  In fact, I'm not sure it even does it for position = relative.  Or maybe that's only in certain circumstances.   Greg   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Geurts Sent: Monday, April 10, 2006 11:47 AM To: rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org Subject: [Rails-spinoffs] Element.getDimensions() support for IE?   Hey all, I'm not sure if IE can support this, but I'm trying to get the dimensions of an element that has percentages for height/width.  In the example code below, I'm trying to get the dimensions for the 'MyCell' element.  Firefox supports Element.getDimensions('MyCell'), but IE returns 0 for the height & width returned by that call.
