smonkey Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: Northumberland, England Insane since: Apr 2003	posted 11-21-2003 12:54 Ok hi guys, I am working on a page that has a an absolutely positioned div within a relatively positioned div at the bottom of each page. The actual pixel distance down the page varies depending on the length and size of the page content. What I would like to be able to do is have a button that when click makes the div float in the center of the viewport/window no matter where on the page the user has scrolled to. How can I achieve this? any ideas? basic code is like this: <html> <head> </head> <body> <p>page content yada yada</p> <div style="position: relative"> <div id="myDiv" style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px"></div> <d/iv> </body> </html>

Ok hi guys,

I am working on a page that has a an absolutely positioned div within a relatively positioned div at the bottom of each page. The actual pixel distance down the page varies depending on the length and size of the page content.

What I would like to be able to do is have a button that when click makes the div float in the center of the viewport/window no matter where on the page the user has scrolled to. How can I achieve this? any ideas?

basic code is like this:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

<p>page content yada yada</p>

<div style="position: relative">

<div id="myDiv" style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px"></div>

<d/iv>

</body>
</html>
