ui.abslayout

Since 3.3

A layout intended for specifying the exact location of elements without setting rows/cols.

The AbsoluteLayout widget provides the possibility to strictly state the position of elements on a page. You can either set hardcoded sizes and positions for all of them, or define the positions of some elements as relative, letting them occupy all the free space. AbsoluteLayout is based on ui.baselayout.

Check AbsoluteLayout documentation for a more detailed description.

Constructor

var abslayout = webix.ui({
    container:"layout_div",
    view:"abslayout",
    cells:[
        { view:"text", label:"Name", labelAlign:"right",
            top: 100, left:350, width:200, height: 40 },
        { view:"text", label:"Email", labelAlign:"right",
            top: 100, left:550, width:200, height: 40 },
        { view:"textarea", label:"My text box", labelPosition:"top",
            top: 140, left:100, width:650, height: 100 },
        { view:"button", label:"My text box",
            top: 260, left:260, width:400, height: 40 }
    ]
}).show();
