Detect Window Width
Nov 23, 2006Is there any way to detect the width of the window in which a page is displayed? I know how to detect the screen width, but that only helps if the page is always maximized.

View 2 RepliesI know 800x600 screens occupy a shrinking part of Web surfers, but I want to accommodate them by offering an alternate style sheet where my site pages don't break when someone from this smaller group visits. Yes, there are examples of how to do this on the Web, but I have one more requirement and don't know how to code it. Not only do my pages break on 800x600, they also break if the browser widow is sized smaller on a 1024x768 screen. (I'm studying css that will dynamically respond to this but I'm not there yet.) Do I just need an appropriate if/or statement to deliver different style sheets? Is there even a JS that detects browser window changes?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've recently start using Flexigrid (old JQuery grid plugin), and, as you may know, one of the few issue this really good grid plugin got is the lack of liquid layout option. My personal idea to solve the problem is to set the "width" parameter depending on $(window).width. Here is the problem (and here's why i post this question in "General use" and not in "Plugin").
The starting, and working, code is:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#flex1").flexigrid
(
{

This work fine for me, but I supose it could be done way much elegant... maybe somethin without "IF" that could emulate the "%", like var percentage = $(#div.id).width()*0.XX with the 0.XX picked from an array of percentage, one for each column. Probably I should set up a function... ahhhh, as you may easily see I'm a total beginner with JQuery (and JS in general...)
Is there a way to detect with javascript the scrolling bar with of the
browser?
My problem is that the the following script assing to the pos variable the browser window size but only internet explorer substracts the scrolling bar with from the result.
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
var pos;
if (window.innerWidth)
{
pos =window.innerWidth;
}
else if (document.documentElement &&
document.documentElement.clientWidth)
{
pos= document.documentElement.clientWidth;
}
else if (document.body)
{
pos= document.body.clientWidth;
}
//-->
</script>
At least i want to ask if there is a script that return exactly the width of the browser's window that i have to output any text or graphic?
i am using jquery to detect picture width and height in a page. if the size exceeds a specified value, then a maximum size will be assigned to the <img > attribute.
this jquery is run with $(window).load, because when $(document).ready the pictures may not be loaded and the script may fail
this theory is good. however, if the internet speed is slow, or the picture link is dead, user would have to wait for a long long time before the jquery executes.
is there any way to do the resizing job wisely? for example, resize each picture once each of the pictures is loaded?
write a PHP script that detects the user's viewport width, and I am guessing stores this in a variable, then checks if it is less than or equal to 1024px using an if statement and if so attaches a certain stylesheet, lets say alternative.CSS, but in the else part of the statement; therefore, if the viewport width is greater than 1024px, it attaches or links default.css
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to pop up a window and then do stuff(set flags) when the content of the new window is done loading. For this I am trying to detect the window.onload of the pop-up child window but so far I am unsuccessful. I believe my problem is that the URL of child window is on different domain, than the one of the opener(parent) so that the window.onload is not being called. Though this may change, at the moment I do not have access to the code for the page I'm opening up in the pop-up. Im pretty new to web development.

What are the variables I can use to find the width of a particular window? I have a moving ball thing on the page and want it to got the width of the current active window where the code is. I understand that there are different properties needed depending on the browser used.

document.onkeyup = KeyCheck;
function KeyCheck()
{
var keyID = event.keyCode;
alert(keyID )

The first alert gives me 1267 while the second says 1280.
alert($(window).width());
$('.tab-left').css({top:250+'px'});
alert($(window).width());
Is there a way to detect whether window is scroll or not .I am using window.scrollTo() function.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm listening for the window.onresize event and trying to get the document.body.clientWidth afterwards to make sure a wide block fits onscreen. I'm working in Firefox and the thing is, when a scrollbar is added to the page due to content getting longer, the body.clientWidth gets smaller, but the window.onresize doesn't fire (I guess this makes sense as the window hasn't been resized per se).
I am assuming that I will have to check the body.clientWidth manually after the content gets longer and then call my resize function if so. But is there a way to achieve this or watch body.clientWidth other than window.onresize?
So, basically, I need to detect whether an alert window was thrown. I can't find where it's thrown from but I need to disable a button only if there were no alert windows thrown.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been working on this problem all day. I have several pictures on a page. When a user clicks it, a popup window will show up a series of pictures. Inside the popup window, there is a close icon to turn of the popup. Besides, if the user clicks outside of the popup, the popup will turn off as well. Here is what I have so far.The closed icon inside the popup works fine but I can't get "the click outside of the popup" to work.

I want to detect when the window is moved, in order to trigger something. I have managed to get the current X and Y coordinates, but other than checking periodically for changed coordinates, is there a way to do this? I want to be able to trigger the code pretty instantly when the window is moved. Probably not possible without checking every half a second - this would be too cpu intensive right?

I'm wondering if it's possible to detect which of the <h1 id="i1">Item1</h1>'s that's currently shown on in the browser window? My idea is to highlight the menu-link(s) (e.g. by changing color) of the items headings shown in the browser window (so it changes as the user scrolls down through the page)?
Im working on a site for a friend, and we've setup a popup window for a couple pages, but with the code we have, the variables for the width and height are in the <script> portion of the code, and not on each individual popup code segment. Is there a way I can add "width=400" or something to each popup to change its width? Code:

I want to be able to pass the width of a window to CSS properties. Specifically I would like the width and left-padding of a DIV to be the exact pixel width of the browser window. Ideally, if the user resizes the window, the CSS would update. What is the simplest way to do this?
View 4 Replies View Relatedim looking for a javascript code that will open a window in 100% width, no toolbars, no menubars, no statusbar, nothing but the page conent basically but for it to all be centered on the screen vertically
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently using a popup window to establish the dimensions of a window, specifically based on the the width/height of the content area.
I would prefer to simply resize it and avoid the need for a popup altogether, but this is made difficult due to inconsistancies as to how resizeTo() accounts for whatever toolbars are 'on' which varies from browser to browser and platform to platform.
The site is coded to W3C (X/HTML, CSS) and the DOM/DHTML content is gradually being rewritten in accordance with the W3C DOM.).
The W3C DOM property to get/set the window content area dimensions are:
Is this correct?
window.pageXOffset/pageYOffset = how much page has scrolled in standards compliant browsers
window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight = viewport in standards compliant browsers
What browser supports these properties?
document.documentElement.scrollWidth
document.documentElement.scrollHeight
document.documentElement.scrollLeft
document.documentElement.scrollTop
document.documentElement.clientWidth
document.documentElement.clientHeight
And does document.documentElement.scrollWidth and document.documentElement.scrollLeft return the same value?
I am building a list inside a div. When I click the list it scroll until reach the bottom.
The problem occurs when the available window height changes. I need to find a way to detect it totriggera function that re-aligns the list :)
try the code i did so far:[URL]
i would like to check for the window size with jquery and based on the different resolutions i would like to change the background image. So i was thinking to somehow use the "switch" statement for more cases, but i just don't know how this would look like. This is the basic structure i want but with more options:
if ((screen.width>=1024) && (screen.height>=768)) {
//do something
}
