Changing position:fixed to positon:absolute


Recommended Posts

Based on my last thread, I need to convert a positioning style from fixed to absolute based on screen size.

 

Here's what I have; which is currently not changing to absolute when the browser is resized below 1000px.

 

float.js

if (screen.availWidth<=1000)
document.getElementById('header_float').style.position = 'absolute';
else
document.getElementById('header_float').style.position = 'fixed';

What should I do to make it work, because it's not.

 

The element stays fixed and the javascript seems to have no effect.

 

 

EDIT: Well I see the issue now, it's because the javascript is looking for an ID, but I'm using class in CSS. Anyway, to use a class in the javascript

 

Something like:

 

document.getElementByClass('header_float').style.position = 'absolute';

Well I changed the div to an id and the div background color has disappeared and it's being treated as if the browser window is below 1000px all the time, even if I enlarge it across two monitors.

Nothing above this point has changed
