Ways to avoid a child element from overlapping another element

(I acknowledge that the question may sound a bit off, so please feel free to edit it if you can rephrase it better).

So, I have this: jsFiddle

As you can see, I'm attempting to recreate a basic Windows 7 aero effect (just for curiosity, fun, and learning purposes), but I've encountered a few issues. (I won't go into too much detail, as you can check it out on the fiddle).

  • The text is stuck on top of the parent's div element.
  • The text somehow extends beyond the duplicate div element, even though it doesn't in the original.

I know it all sounds a bit strange, but you'll understand better if you take a look at the fiddle.

Thank you.

Answer №1

It appears that the issue you're encountering is related to the following code snippet:

$(container).find('*').each(function() {
  var e_clone = $(this).clone(false).appendTo(processor);
  // etc etc
});

When you use the * selector and then iterate over each element, you end up duplicating more content into #processor than you may have intended. This results in multiple copies of span.lol being created, as it first clones #box (along with all its children) and then subsequently copies over span.lol by itself.

Regarding the "leakage" of text outside of the parent element, this behavior does occur in the original code... at least based on what I observe in Chrome when I disable the call to 

glass('#container', '#processor')
.
