I started the source from this progressbar example, and it works fine. My only change was to set the width of the progressbar to "20%".
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#progressbar").progressbar({ value: 37 }).css({ width : "20%"});
});
</script>
</head>
<body style="font-size:62.5%;">
<div id="progressbar"></div>
</body>
</html>
I then put the progressbar inside another div, and used css to fix that div in the upper-right-hand corner.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<style type="text/css">
#testContainer {
position : fixed;
top : 6;
right : 6;
}
</style>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#progressbar").progressbar({ value: 37 }).css({ width : "20%"});
});
</script>
</head>
<body style="font-size:62.5%;">
<div id="testContainer">
<div id="progressbar"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The progressbar becomes a slim vertical line on the left side of the screen. What am I doing wrong? I'm new to web development in general, and jquery in particular, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question.
