Create A Container For Images To Retain Aspect Ratio
Jul 8, 2010
Is there a way to create a div or some container in which there will be an image such that the image fills the container but retains its aspect ratio? So if the container is 100px x 100px and an image is 200px x 100px it will be resized to 100px x 50px. Conversely, if the image is 100px x 200px then it resizes to 50px x 100px. An image of 400px x 50px becomes 100px x 12.5px and so forth.
The issue is I have to dynamically build the container pulling images from an image folder. The images can come in all sizes. But I want to make sure they all fit in the same square 'box' without distorting the image.
There is text and a button below the image and I want them to stay in the same 'spot' on the screen without being moved around because the height or width of the image above it grows/shrinks to accommodate a change in either the height or width. These can change but not outside a controlled 'box'.
Maybe there's a way to get the actual size (through Javascript or something) then calculate a percentage to resize the image to?
Has anyone got any suggestions for keeping aspect ratio when scaling an image. I want to use it on my 'advert full details' on my website. This page displays an image the user has uploaded to my database, but sometimes I get really hugh images uploaded! When I scale them using % in Dreamweaver I lose the aspect ratio!
displaying images properly maintaining its aspect ratio?
My requirement: ===========
I have a table with single cell (means single row and column). I have to display image inside this cell. But when I do so using the below mentioned statement, the image expands and cover the entire cell area.
This slideshow works fine except that it keeps the aspect ratio of the original pic image. If original image is a portrate all photos are portrate size, even landscapes. If original is landscape, the same is true. The script works correctly when viewing in MS FrontPage. After FTP uploading problem appears. Code:
I am building a site in Dreamweaver for a client which uses templates for a photogallery that uses simple Javascript to load images "OnClick" into a named <img> tag. The <img> tag has no dimensions preset because the loaded images vary in size and aspect ratio (the images are all prepared so that they will fit easily within the rest of the page layout, using their actual dimensions).
This all works just fine on Firefox (Apple), but on Safari and Mac IE there is a problem. When image-2 replaces image-1 (using MM_swapimage), if image-2 has the same height but a narrower width than image-1, then image-2 appears with image-1's width. Both image-2 and image-1 have the same height, so the display of image-2 now has the wrong aspect ratio (everthing looks "fatter").
I haven't checked Windows browsers yet. I searched around and haven't seen a similar issue. Anyone know about this, and a good workaround?
so im almost finished my first site! very excited. its for my dads business, hes a screening contractor.actually i doubt he will get any business out of it, even once we get our real domain name and everything because i don't even know how to get Google to like it. its OK though, its mainly just a practice site for me anyways before i make a resume site for myself. anyways, this mayt sound like a flash question but i asked on flash sites and they have no idea, and i think it has more to do with how i embedded the flash. yoy see, it consists of 3 divs, an html content area, and a flash banner and a flash menu, which stretch depending on the window size to keep their aspect ratio. its that streachyness that i believe is causing the problem. everything works exactly as planned in Firefox, chrome, and pure flash player. but in IE, safari and opera, the size and position of things are way messed up! (only really care about IE). the edges of dynamic text are slightly to the left or right and hanging behind things because of it, same with some movie clips and when i didn't want things to appear on the stage i set their x position to be the length of the stage,
i think that ie is calculating the size onresize incorrectly. heres the site, take a look at the the script file:[URL]..
I've been working at this one for a few days now, and I keep getting the same puzzling results on what should probably have been a simple issue.
My page has images I've loaded at the top and set to {display: none}. The eventual goal is to create thumbnails that will maintain the original images' proportions, but fit within 150x150 px (this is for an artist's gallery page, so it's pretty important to keep the thumbnails looking like the originals). Obviously, the first thing I need to do is get the images' heights and widths. I've tried to do this by iterating through the document.images array and just getting the widths and heights, but for some reason I always get 0 x 0 for the first image. I've tried fixing this by inserting another image before it and then starting the loop at 1 instead of 0 (so it excludes that first image), but I still get the same value. I even tried setting the script to "defer" so it wouldn't run until the page had loaded. Same results. It also doesn't seem to matter whether I ask for document.images[x].width or document.images[x].naturalWidth. The same thing happens either way. Does anyone know what's going on? There's got to be something I'm missing.
where da boss wants our a large piece of our site to be fully dynamic and integrated on any screen size. This means changing font on size. Well I cam up with a solution, figured if no one has one better, then i'll share
i am working on a project that will involve displaying a long list of product information. this will include images and description of the product. knowing fully well that users must have uploaded images with different dimensions, i want to display the images such that they will all have same dimensions without having some of them lose aspect ratio. i want it to look like the way facebook displays facepile (your friends), it may only hide a portion of it,
I am looking for either a JavaScript or Coldfusion solution to the following problem. First, there are over 60 million product photos so downloading and resizing the photos using Coldfusion would be very tedious.
I would like the display an image within a 100 x 100 pixel container.
If the height or width of the image is great than 100 pixels, the image should reduce in size to fit within the 100 x 100 pixel container.
I want to avoid pixelation of the images as much as possible.
All images are external and not on the local server so I only have an image URL.
I would like to hide all images until they are resized appropriately.
Does anybody know of a piece of javascript code that can do something similar to this?
I have a page with a button and a container. When i click on the button, it should redirect to a page where we can create a new customer. On the new customer form ,I have textboxes, radio buttons ,buttons amongst others.What i wanna do is that instead of redirecting to that page. I wanna dynamically create a div with all the controls required in the Container i have on my page itself. So each time the user click the Add New Customer button, on the same page, the textboxes and all other controls is created dynamically.
I'm looking for a jQuery plugin, which could create a flyout of a container from left or right side of a page on some event (onClick or onMouseOver).
The example can be found at [URL] when the page loads some shopping ads slide from the left side of the browser screen (it's shown automatically only once, to see it again you need to delete this website cookies and reload the page - it would be great if the plugin had this cookie-based feature).
I prefer jQuery over flash and not sure how to tackle this, so please advise as best you can. Trying to create a site that allows for images to go full browser and then have the ability to have the other images slide in based on a click.
I also want to float a menu that will allow it to pull in other media (video, that would slide in the same way). The best example I can share is this: http://j.mp/5U79i1 What he is using is flash based (slideshowpro director and slideshow pro for flash). Not interested in flash for this personal project.
By the time you read this I probably already tried to do this. But, is it possible to create an array with image sources? I'm thinking about doing this because it sounds a like a good plan to do since I'm trying to create a slide show. So is it possible to create array out of image sources, if no then why not?
I have one web-page and one picture box in the middle of page. I have some images in my SQL database, I want to load those images on picture box placed on my web page one by one. I want to display each image for 3 seconds and then next image, but these image are not fix, I will keep changing original image files in the images directory and will specify their names in database tables. Structure of database table is as follows:
I have an image gallery on the top-left. It is the kind where you click on a thumbnail and a larger image shows up.What would I need to do to make it so it would show a loading image WHILE the picture is loading? (Especially for my over 60% of visitors who have dial up). Right now, if I click on an image, I have to wait a little while for it to load (I DO NOT WANT THE IMAGES TO PRELOAD)
I have a javascript that loads images on the page based on the date you select from a drop down menu. So the images are displayed dynamically, however they are numbered 1 through 20.Is there a way I can add a title tag to the images that will display on mouseover?Here's the page I am working on. I want to add title tags to the six images on the right side of the page. They change based on the date selected.
I have a form which is used to calculate residential Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The form is structured into seven parts as follows:
Part A: Maximum FAR and Floor Area:
Part B: Gross Floor Area of the main floors of the main house:
Part C: Gross Floor Area of the basement or cellar:
Part D: Gross Floor Area of the attic:
Part E. Gross Floor Area of all accessory structures except detached garages: (including cabanas, guest houses, caretaker's cottages, pool houses, sheds, barns, or other structures except a detached garage)
Part F. Gross Floor Area of the garage: (not including basement garages)
Part G: Total Floor Area:
The Javascript involved in the calculations is as follows:
[CODE]
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript"> function checkAllInputFields(){ IsValidEntry(entireForm.A1.value) IsValidEntry(entireForm.A5.value)
[Code]....
I have attached the html file as a .txt file for reference, and I have attached a .txt document including all the values I used for testing.
From Implementation Tips - Google TV Web Developer's Guide - Google Code they give the following js snippet.
Code: function init() { var w = screen.width; var h = screen.height;[code]....
what I manipulate in the js to change the zoom ratio? I don't want my webpage for Chrome TV to zoom as much. I'm a designer and have little js experience.
i would like to create a list of all images inside a specific div. It should be outputted as ul li list. The List should be clickable and on click i would like to be send to the position of the image on my site.
Been looking around for 3 days now, I found exactly the style that I want, have images on my web site, all I need is for someone to show, explain to me how exactly this pagination or whatever it is works, how do i select which actual images from my site or where to be shown in the main window and also the thumbnails below?
as I said, I already know what kind of slide show I want, it's in this link the lower right version of slideshow with the pics of two horses and stuff: [URL] I already have the script on my site but but can't figure out how to place my images: [URL] and I want THUMBNAILS on the bottom like in the first link.... not the text
I want to create a gallery of images with a fancybox-esque style but incorporate the "folder functionality" that this site has: [URL] In other words: When I click on an image I want it to expand to "fullscreen". (This I can manage with fancybox.) What I can't work out how to do is display more images from the same photo-session at the bottom of the fullscreen.
then I add a sequence of numbers for positioning to an object called pixs (with a numerical index as well that may or may not be useful):
var xpos = startwidth+d_num; var ypos= startheight+d_scroll; pixs[num]= {}; pixs[num]['xpos']=xpos; pixs[num]['ypos']=ypos; pixs[num]['color']=colorval;
As I loop through my arrays of little pieces of data, all of this information is stocked into pixs - BUT then- I have to insert this information from pixs to a function, like:
$(container).fillRect(xpos,ypos, width, height, {color: color}) where width and height are each preset vars.
My challenges here are to 1) successfully loop through the pixs object. 2)Use jquery if possible (or if easier) to get these variable values into the function to evaluate. 3) Successfully '.fillRect' with each loop. 4) Use the append method (or something?! again, I am a n00b) to get all of these instances of fillRect onto the container in the html document (which appears to be set up and working with instances of fillRect not using variables as parameters)
so i have a div that is a minimum of 960px wide x 500px high with a minimum of 20px margin to the left + right of it. there should be no scroll bars unless you go under the minimum dimensions (including left + right margin). when you resize the window, the #main div should resize (in correct ratio). here is my attempt:
