Auto-Resizing Submenu Background

The following JavaScript & jQuery code allowed me to set a full-width background on a submenu which was inside a smaller container div, by adjusting the left offset and width based on page width (with and without a scrollbar) and the distance of the object to the left side of the page.

var scrollContainer = document.getElementById('scroll-container');
var subBg = document.getElementsByClassName('sub-bg');
var mainMenu = document.getElementsByClassName('main-menu');

function GetElementDistance(obj) {
var leftLen = obj.getBoundingClientRect().left; 
var rightLen = obj.getBoundingClientRect().right; 
return [leftLen, rightLen];
}

Array.from(mainMenu).forEach(function(mainMenu, index) {
mainMenu.addEventListener('mouseenter', function() {
    var leftDistance = "-" + GetElementDistance(subBg[index])[0] + "px";
    if (Modernizr.hiddenscroll === true) {
        $('.sub-bg').css({
        "width": scrollContainer.offsetWidth,
        "left": leftDistance
        });
    } else {
        $('.sub-bg').css({
        "width": scrollContainer.clientWidth,
        "left": leftDistance
        });
    }
});

mainMenu.addEventListener('mouseleave', function() {
    $('.sub-bg').css({
    "left": "0px"
    });
});
});
                        

SQL Movie Database Query

This SQL query is designed to return all movies, alongside their director and rating, where the movie has a higher rating than another movie (in this case, American Beauty), and where the movie was released after another movie (in this case, Lawrence of Arabia).

SELECT DISTINCT mv.mov_title AS "Movie Title",
    dr.dir_fname || ' ' || dr.dir_lname AS "Director",
    rt.rev_stars AS "Rating"
FROM movie AS mv

JOIN movie_cast AS mv_cst ON mv_cst.mov_id = mv.mov_id
JOIN rating AS rt ON rt.mov_id = mv.mov_id
JOIN movie_direction AS mv_dr ON mv_dr.mov_id = mv.mov_id
JOIN director AS dr ON dr.dir_id = mv_dr.dir_id

WHERE rt.rev_stars > (
    SELECT rating.rev_stars
    FROM rating
    JOIN movie ON movie.mov_id = rating.mov_id
    WHERE movie.mov_title = 'American Beauty'
) 
AND mv.mov_year > (
    SELECT mov_year
    FROM movie
    WHERE movie.mov_title = 'Lawrence of Arabia'
)

ORDER BY mv.mov_title ASC;
                        

This code returns the following data from the database:

Movie Title	Director	Rating
Aliens	James Cameron	8.40
Annie Hall	Woody Allen	8.10
Blade Runner	Ridley Scott	8.20
Donnie Darko	Richard Kelly	8.10
Princess Mononoke	Hayao Miyazaki	8.40
Slumdog Millionaire	Danny Boyle	8.00
The Usual Suspects	Bryan Singer	8.60
Titanic	James Cameron	7.70
