I have a bordered div with some text in it. Some of the text is one long string and thus runs outside of the div. The div stretches out to the width of the browser window so that long string of text runs all the way out past the edge of the scrollbar.
Is there a way I can use JavaScript to detect the width of the div from the edge of one border to the next and then convert that number into the number of characters that can fill that width?
let me try to explain better what I'm trying to do. I'm a real newbie I don't know much javascript but I understand more or less the logic behind it... tell me if this solution should work and if you know how to do it please show me. [URL]... I need to make div#photo's width to match the total width measurement of all the images it contains. If you load the page and you don't touch the size, it will work fine... but that's not realistic. If I resize the page, which will happen often on this kind of page (I'm assuming), the whole thing goes haywire (try it, scroll to the last image and resize the page you'll see what I mean). What can I do? Is my idea the right solution? Am I not explaining this clearly enough? Let me know please, I'm desperate. I've been trying to get CSS to do this for me for 3 hours now. Nothing works.

I currently have a website where i share thoughts with my friends (some kind of forum) and within this 'forum' people can post pictures they made but most of the time these pictures exceed the max width of my website so my website gets all streched out!So this is what i want: all images on the page must run thru some sort of function which checks if the image image width exceeds the max_width. if it does then the script must calculate how many pixels the current width exceeds the max_width and get this number so that the script does: current_width = current_width - (max_width - current_width)
View 1 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...)
I am trying to setup a javascript function that sets a div's width based on the combined width of the li's with the name "navItem". The problems I have been running into when trying to define the width of the li's is that they do not have a width defined in css. Can anyone help me out with this? The javascript function setWindow is suppose to show the div loginWindow and set the width of it.
Code:
<div id="topNav">
<ul>
<li><img src="<?php print $site->folder['images']['header']; ?>topmenu_left.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></li>
<li name="navItem"><a href="<? print $site->url['about']; ?>">About Us</a></li>
<li name="navItem"><a onmouseover="setWindow('loginWindow');" href="<? print $site->url['billing']; ?>">Client Services</a></li>

View 3 Replies View RelatedI need a code that when a button or image is clicked then a div's width and height are changed.
Ive managed to get a few codes that does this, but the real problem is that, the contents of the div is an embedded flash file and i thought that by setting the flash width and height to 100% then the flash would fit to the new size of the div, but it just didnt work.
I need a code that when a button is clicked then the div's and the flash's width and height are changed.
please have a look at the temp website latinunit net / temp / , you will understand where im coming from.

My goal is to add a little button in the same div that says expand or maximise so when clicked the the div expands aswell as the flash file.

I want to set the width of a div to be the same width of the image inside the div.The following code works great. But...The images are different widths, so both wrappers are set to the width of the first image. Without having to add an ID to each wrapper or image, can the wrapper width be set to the image width using the name of the image as the unique identifier?
jQuery:
$(document).ready(function(){
var newWidth = $('div.wrapper img').attr('width');
$('div.wrapper').width(newWidth);
});
HTML:
<div class="wrapper">
<p><img src="image1.jpg" width="200" /><br />
Caption</p>
</div>

Problem:
Depending on an input value, I would like to output greek characters
(f. e. those between U+03B1 to U+03C9. One way would be to define two
arrays: one with the possible input values ("abgde...") and a second
array with the corresponding values ("u03b1u03b2u03b3...").
But I hoped I could skip the second by a computation, f.e. "g" has
index 2 in the first array, so output "u03b1"+2.
This does not work (of course). But do I have a chance to "compute"
the output value?

I have a script which gathers information from a form and, if needed, writes this info to a 'preview' window. At times {tokens} are used in place of real html tags. How can I tell the script to look for "{" and "}" and replace them, respectively, with "<" and ">".
I tried using "str = str.replace(/{/g, "<").replace(/}/g, ">");" but that didn't work. The script in question is being written by PHP... thus, may be generating a syntax-based failure. Any ideas?

I have a input filed of type "textbox" into which I am expecting to get
currency values (ie. 199.99). Is there a way that I can restrict the

type in 1.987.
I would like to check if a string is a valid zip code via Javascript.

I am building a web page to show a TCP/IP raw packet.
I need to show "special characters" on the web page I am working on.
When I say "special characters" i am talking about tabs, whitespace,
crazy unicode characters, etc etc.
What is the best way to present this to the user?
I am thinking that a large textarea is the only way to display it so it
retains all the special characters.
I need to set a cookie containing a Russian character string as the
value, using the construct "document.cookie = ...". The whole project
runs in the UTF-8 encoding.
The Internet Explorer handles this cookie correctly, whereas the
FireFox writes only some byte gargabe and then reads it back.
i have checkbox to call function
<INPUT TYPE = "checkbox" NAME = "AttributeValue[1]" VALUE = "Yes"
The function itself has this:
if (form.AttributeValue[1].checked) {
(more script) }
That doesn't work because I believe it is interpreting the [ ] characters
as representing array (I think).
How is syntax for AttributeValue[1] as literal value in function?
Does this make sense?
I have a problem displaying a divbox containing a html-textarea -
everything works fine with "normal" characters. However, when the
textarea contains special chars like <P> or ' , the box fails to show:
function show(divbox)
{
divbox.style.display=''
}
<div id="divbox" style="display:none" >
<form action="action.php" method="post>
<textarea name ="txt">Text</textarea>
</form>

If the Text in the textarea is for instance
HERE IS A "QUOTE"
it works fine, while
HERE IS A 'QUOTE'
produces an error
<br>-tags works fine, but
<p>-tags doesn't
I have a number of scripts that take special characters and convert them
to their ascii equivalents and them store them in the database.
However I am running into a problem that I have some of those fields are
loaded to an array and inserted into cells dynamically. As an example
the array would be:
var my_array = [ ["52","Source Data"], ["19","Body &
Soap"] ];
Then I have some javascript that creates the cell and inserts the value
into a cell text node like:
var x = my_array[1][1]; // this would be "Body & Soap"
//create the cell
myTD=document.createElement("TD");
//create the text node
myText=document.createTextNode(x);
// Appends each node following the structure.
myTD.appendChild(myText);
What I see on the output is: "Body & Soap"
What I should see is: "Body & Soap"
Anyone know how to get around this?
In a web based form I am able to make sure that there is text in an input field but I want to restrict the user from using such characters as ~ # & '
How can I modify this JavaScript below to enable this ?
if (document.form1.ProjectTitle.value == ""){
alert("Please complete the Project Title: field")
document.form1.ProjectTitle.focus()
validFlag = false
return validFlag
}
When entering the project title into another system it issues an error when those characters are input - hence the need to delete them from the request.
