Changing location on screen? 1

[Blueie]

Hello
I have some JavaScript which produces a circular progress bar in percentages:

<script src="../circular-progress.js"></script>
   
(function () {
      var n, id, progress;

      progress = new CircularProgress({
        radius: 20
      });

      document.body.appendChild(progress.el);

      n = 0;
      id = setInterval(function () {
        if (n == 100) clearInterval(id);
        progress.update(n++);
      }, 100);
    })();

    (function () {
      var n, id, progress;

      progress = new CircularProgress({
        radius: 40,
        lineWidth: 2,
        strokeStyle: 'black',
        initial: {
          lineWidth: 4,
          strokeStyle: 'gray'
        }
      });

      document.body.appendChild(progress.el);

      n = 0;
      id = setInterval(function () {
        if (n == 100) clearInterval(id);
        progress.update(n++);
      }, 70);
    })();

    (function () {
      var n, id, progress;

      progress = new CircularProgress({
        radius: 70,
        strokeStyle: 'black',
        lineCap: 'square',
        lineJoin: 'round',
        lineWidth: 5,
        shadowBlur: 0,
        shadowColor: 'yellow',
        text: {
          font: 'bold 15px arial',
          shadowBlur: 0
        },
        initial: {
          strokeStyle: 'white',
          lineCap: 'square',
          lineJoin: 'round',
          lineWidth: 5,
          shadowBlur: 10,
          shadowColor: 'black'
        }
      });

      document.body.appendChild(progress.el);

      n = 0;
      id = setInterval(function () {
        if (n == 100) clearInterval(id);
        progress.update(n++);
      }, 30);
    })();

Apparently, I am unable to add CSS style to the script but I can change the colours, etc. Is there a way also of changing its location on my Web page and, if so, how would I do that, please?

Thank you.

why are you creating so many progress variables?

to position the output, instead of appending it to body, append it to a div whose position you have preset absolutely.

Hello jpadie

Thank you for your reply.

I can place this in my CSS to position the circular progress bar:

{

position: fixed;
top: 150px;
left: 300px;
}

But how would that access the JavaScript above?

Thanks again for your time.

You are appending the progress bar to document.body. instead append it to a div which is positioned where you want.

In you are saying that the plugin you use cab sort the positioning out for you by including those directives in the constructor then you have solved the problem yourself.

But how would that access the JavaScript above?

It doesn't, javascript does the 'accessing' of CSS styles, not the other way around.

Do you mean replace document.body.appendChild(progress.el); with something like this:

myPosition.appendChild(progress.el);

<style>
.myPosition {

top: 100px;
left: 300px;
}
</style>

Sorry, I don't know anything about JavaScript. I contacted the author of the script and he was pleased I was hoping to use it but not wonderfully helpful.

[jpadie]

let us say you have a positioned div where you want it and with the id 'myDiv'

instead of

document.body.appendChild(progress.el);

you would use

document.getElementById('myDiv').appendChild(progress.el);

Many thanks for that, jpadie. At least I can now see the link between the two scripts.

You have been a great help!
