[Javascript] Changin pop up location?

[Peter Brunone]

Hi Skip,

    I haven't looked lately, but are pageX and pageY integers or do they include units?  If the former, then you may need to add the units since the current standards require them.

Just typing out loud here...

Hey all,

Just joined the list so I'll preempt your 
"welcomes" now:

Thank you, thanks, great to see you all. I'm here 
all weekend at the Flamingo Lounge, enjoy the buffet.

Now here's my question. I'm using Scriptaculous to 
create a pop up with the following class definition:

.popup_panel {
position: absolute;
text-align: left;
top: 100px;
left: 180px;
margin: 0 0 1px 0;
border: 2px solid #555;
z-index: 100;
background-color: #fff;
color: #999;
}

The HTML code used to create the template has an 
id value of the same name:

...

Then in the javascript I try to adjust the 
position of the pop up with the following

var xpos=e.pageX;
var ypos=e.pageY;

// set the position of the pop up in the browser.
var popup=document.getElementById('popup_panel');
popup.style.top=xpos-50;
popup.style.left=ypos-50;

It gets the pageX and pageY values fine (tested 
with a call to alert function), but does not 
adjust the popup's position beyond what is set in 
the CSS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
