Hi There,

I need help badly on the div tags. I dont have much knowledge on div tags
I have a div tag in my code and it should be show when there is an inactivity. Its working fine, until today I found a bug.
When I scroll my browser to the end, the div is still shown at the upper part of the browser.
Unless i scroll up (as a programmer, I know that div will be showing up but ofcourse user will not know) I dont know whether the div is shown.

Whether the user scrolls up or down, he should be viewing the alert which I show him.
How can I solve this?
My Div tag code:

<div onload="blurAll();"  id="userMessage" style="position: absolute; background-color:ButtonFace; z-index: 1; display: block; top: 307px; left: 304px; 
                            visibility:hidden; border: 3px solid blue; width: 383px;">  
               <table style="width: 388px; height: auto; background-color:Blue;"> 
                   <thead align="left" title="Registration - Warning">
                            <tr>
                                <td style="color:White;">Registration - Warning
                                </td>
                            </tr>
                   </thead>
               </table>                                               
               <table style="width: 388px; height: auto; background-color:ButtonFace;"> 
                     <tr> <td><img src="triangle.jpg"id="img"  alt="warning" /></td>
                     <td>
                       You are inactive for sometime. Your session will expire in 5 min.<br />
                       Do you wish to extend?
                     </td>
                     </tr>                           
                      <tr><td></td><td align="center">
                      <asp:Button CssClass="groupButton" ID="btnStillHere" OnClientClick="doRefresh()" Text="OK"  runat="server" Width="60px" />
                      <input type="button" class="groupButton" id="btnDoNothing" onclick="hideUserMessage()"  value= "Cancel" runat="server" />
                      </td> </tr> 
                 </table>
            </div>

Thanks so much in advance.
Regards

for the "position" part of your style for the div, try using "fixed" instead of "absolute". it should make the div positioned according to the browser window instead of the web page itself.

Hi Billymcguffin,

Thanks so much for your help, it worked like a wonder.
Its been so simple ofcourse its like a giant task for me since I did not know how to work on div tag and was wasting 2 days of my time trying different codes
Thanks so much.

also, I have one more query.
When javascript alert is popped up, it doesnot allow us to focus on the window till we click on the alert ok button.
Can we do the same when I popup div alert.
I have put in the code in a function to call when div is loaded. But its not working
The code I am using is:

<div [B]onload="blurAll();"  [/B]id="exitMessage" style="position: fixed; background-color:ButtonFace; z-index: 1; display: block; top: 307px; left: 304px; 
                        visibility:hidden; border: 3px solid blue; width: 250px;"> 
function blurAll()
{
   // alert("blur");
    //window.blur();
     window.focus=false; 
}

Thanks so much in advance
Regards
