I am trying to create a floating menu, such as the Aloha editor, but it does not work properly. Anyone can help me with a basic example for a floating menu in jquery.
I'm not looking for a floating menu I need a similar toolbar floating in the Aloha editor
$(document).ready(function() {
var fBox = $('#box');
fBox.draggable();
$(".columns").click(function(e){
var mouseXPos = e.pageX;
var mouseYPos = e.pageY;
console.log("mouseXPos:" + mouseXPos + "cleft:" +mouseYPos);
fBox.animate({top:mouseYPos},1000);
fBox.animate({left:mouseXPos},1000);
});
});
CSS
<style>
#page{width:600px;margin:0 auto;}
#page .columns{float:left;width:250px;}
#box{ background-color: #FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
left: 749px;
opacity: 0.9;
padding: 0 10px;
position: absolute;
top: 35px;
width: 216px;}
</style>
