How To Set Width/height Of Window Content Area W/ W3C
Aug 8, 2002
I 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:
I'm having an issue getting the height and width of DIV elements that have resized themselves to fit their content.
Note: I do not have a problem getting the height and width of DIV elements that I have set using Javascript. The probel is that this value appears to stick. I.e. the height is set to 150px, then the content is changed and the DIV cosumes as much height as is required (clearly more than 150px), however analysing the DOM indicates that the height is the same (though it is clearly not).
I want to know how to get hold of the 'actual' size of a DIV element that is manipulated by the content of the DIV.
I am also interested in a solution that works in IE and Firefox (at least).
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:
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'm trying to build a background in two parts. The header bg is in the body and the lower part is a div with a gradient background color generated by CSS3 or IE filters. I had problems with getting the gradient to stretch all the way to the side in IE7 with plain CSS so I had to start looking for more watertight solutions.
[Code]...
If there are easier methods to solve this split background thing than JavaScript, I'm all ears. I can PM the address of the website, if someone wants to take a look.
I would like to set the height of certain #div elements on a page based on the height of the user's current window state. It should draw the elements based on the size of the window at onLoad, and also respond to the onResize event.
How can I create a popup window in a form without showing the status, menubar, location and with width of 502 and height 550?
I was doing something like this, it will popup a window, but I do not want to show the status, menubar, location, etc. The form is submitted to other site.
My friend and i are searching for a solution to have a scrollable area together with a scrollbar were BOTH heights can be set. This will prevent the scrollable content to come close to the edges of the table. We want the content to dissapear sooner.
We've tried everything possible in HTML and CSS but without any luck. I think this can be fixed with JS or with Flash. Flash is not an option and we neither have a lot of skills in JS. Code:
I have an image that I set to have a width of 100%. I want it to be no higher than the screen height. Its inside a div which itself has no height limit set. So I thought I could set the image height to screen.height. But when I do that, it seems to be larger than the visible client area of Internet Explorer. I want it to fit within that space. I realize the image might be distorted by doing that, but thats OK.
I'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 be able to manipulate the width and height of an <img> but do not seem to be able.
"Yes", I know the JavaScript will "not" manip anything, which is ok. I simply do not know how to capture the width or height. Once I can do that I can manipulate them.
Here is the HTML for the <img> <div class="ImgMnp" id="myImg" onmouseover="imgSize('myImg','fpImg)"> <img src="images/FirePlace.jpg" width="480" height="640" id="fpImg" /> </div>
Here is the JavaScript I tried to manipulate the <img> function imgSize(myID,myImg) { var myDiv= document.getElementById(myID); //get correct <div> var myImage=document.getElementById(myImg); //get correct <img> var myWidth=myImage.style.width; //attempt to capture width of <img> var myHeight=myHeight.style.height; //attempt to capture height of <img> alert("myWidth+, +myHeight"); //show if I this function works }
Will someone please tell me what I am doing wrong.
I have the correct height and width for an image, however when I set the Javascript pop up to this height and width it does not display all of the image.
Does Javascript use different dimensions or what? And how can I set the height and width for it to compensate for Javascript's mistake?
I can't make the browser to read the style.width and style.height from the CSS. Does anyone know a fix for that, so that I don't have to use inline styles for every div?
I was wondering if you can in CSS create an <img> tag with an Id? Then use that image tag in the body tag to refer to make it the background image. If you can I think I would then be able to resize the background image using DOM and javascript to fill the browser window without having to repeat the image, maybe?
I'm thinking this might work because. 1. Can't you create a style for any html or xhtml tag (element)? 2. The image tag has a height and width attribute. 3. If a tag (element) has an Id in the CSS you can control its attributes with DOM or javascript? 4. I should be able to use the Image tag by Id reference in the body tag - background attribute?
I have a form and in that form I have a file field through that I can browse for images. Now what I want is that whatever the image file user selected i need the width and height of that image.
How can I find the height and width of a webpage? Say I want to make sure someone's webpage is within an 800X600 viewing area. Width is the most important but if I can get width, I should also be able to get height.
I don't need to modify the page in anyway. Just get the width and height. I can reference the page in an iframe, cfhttp (CFMX) or something if it needs to be on my server.
I've ran into this problem more than once, there are plenty of tutorials on how to toggle/fade a hidden div that already has data placed into it, but I want to $.load() a page into an empty div ID and then toggle/fade it into view.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this or find anyone in Google trying to either. This has to be the first time I've ran into a limitation of jQuery and it isn't even something that should be such a problem.
I'm facing the following problem: I'm using .append() method to add a new <div> on the fly and I need to read its width and height right after it's been created. How can this be doneMy current strategy to accomplish this task is:
$("#container").append( $("<div/>").append( $("<p>").html("This is a content example that goes inside my just created div")
