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).

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

    See http://jsfiddle.net/XQYjV/

    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.

    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.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
