How do I properly use position: absolute?



Sorry for the newbie question, but I can't seem to work around this issue just yet.





I have a website with dynamic content all over. When you go to the page of an article, it pulls the content from the database etc. If the user is logged in and is an admin on of the website, I am displaying an "Edit article" link in the top right corner. The only problem is the position of that "Edit article" div .





On different screen resolutions, it moves around, as the it's set with a position:absolute , top:x px , left:y px .





I am open to any suggestion (Javascript, jQuery most welcome, easy peasy CSS would be best if possible).

  1. An element with position: absolute is better to be wrapped with a position: relative element.

  2. Use the below CSS no JavaScript is required.

    {
    position: fixed;
    top: 0px;
    right: 0px;
    }


    This will make sure the div or link will remain in the top right corner of the page even if the page is scrolled.

  3. Use attribute right: 0px; instead of left: 900px; or whatever. This will absolutely position your div to the right 0 pixels away from the right-side of the window.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
