JQuery :: All Images Must Be Resized If Width Exceeds Max Width?
May 5, 2010
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)
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 am using Ben Alman's JQuery resize plugin in order to obtain the varying computed width of an element when the window is resized (the element in question is a page wrapper that exhibits the expand-to-fit behavior of a block box, and it's computed width is obviously influenced by the resizing of the window. Essentially, what I need to be able to do, is to reference a variable that is defined in a .resize() function ('width_page') in a seperate .each() function.
[Code]...
I now understand that variables can't cross boundaries like in the example above, which leaves me a little stuck. I also understand that this is specific to the context of the .resize() function, and that it can't be taken out of it without using an element selector. Is there some way I can call the .resize() function in my .each() function?
Is there any way that one could have supersubs functionality applied to drop-down multi-column menus?I assume one would need to calculate the width of each column plus the combined width for the container.
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 ( {
[Code].....
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 the next jQuery code the best way to decrease an elements width?[code]I tried using the next code:[code]but that's not working, also not with '-20'.Maybe it's an idea to add this functionality? It's is already used in the .animate() function for changing the position of an element.
I have images that are resized if its width is bigger than container one. I can't find out a solution to select images that aren't 100% width. (Of course, I want to select them for jQuery actions.)
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.
during the initial phase in the development of amuch more complex zomm&pan widget, i ended up with this tiny (yet another) zoom&pan plugin. Since it's small and with just few functionalities i'd call
I 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.
on the right hand side i have a flash chat in a div , div is controled by a script that allows it to follow the scrollers up and down.
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 didn't see this as an option, so I decided to give it a try on my own. I was able to add some lines of code (shown with the > in the margin below) to the jquery.cycle.js script to read in the width of each image and center the slide within the slideshow container // set position and zIndex on all the slides
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); });
I want to preload some images for a webpage _and_ determing their width and height. The problem is that the scripts continue while the images are loaded in the background, while I need the thus undefined values of image.width and image.height. Thus I'm looking for a function which stops executing my script until the images are all fully loaded.
Some non-working sample code included. Notice this only doesn't work well on Firefox. The code runs without errors, but it doesn't get the correct height and width. To see the problem the images used shouldn't be in the browser cache. Code:
I would like to set up the section on the right that says "testimonials" to rotate between three quotes, with an image next to each quote. Is there a way to do this with a div block that does not have a set size?
I know I can use flash but that obviously would be a set width.
I've got a div "main" that gets it's width changed via state chart. Now, in main I've got a div "item_title" that needs to change in respect to the width of "main" -90px because I have a fixed width 90px div also in "main". The code I have isn't sizing at all, like the width isn't being applied. In the css I don't have a width declared to the "item_title" to make sure nothing is interfering.
I have a digitvalue in the title of my element, and i want to set the width of this element based on the title. $("li[title]").css({ width: $(this).attr("title") + "px" });
i tried that, but not working, it wont just set the width,
I'm new to the forums, yet not new to jQuery. Still, I never had to get properties from objects generated on-the-fly, till now. I have a pager generated by cycle plugin, for each slide, a button is created, and the container of those buttons is enlarged. The amount of slides is determined by the user, so can't specify a default or maximum width. When I examine the object with firebug, I get the full width, including the generated pager buttons. But my script keeps on getting 0 as width, which is the width of the element when the page loads.
Anyway, is there a way around this? In case I haven't explained myself well, say it and maybe I can paste the code.
I have a div containing many children all very different, each one as a different width. I need to get the width of all the children. I mean child1.width() + child2.width() + child3.width() etc... Of course as a new child can be added anytime I can not use the kind of things I put above.
I tried that among other things : $("div.mydiv").children().width(); But I only get the width ofthe first child.
I don't know if this will work, but I'm trying to put a google map on my website and in IE, the div containing the map needs to have a width value in pixels in order for the API to center the map properly. want a div with 100% width, which is inside another expanding column. This works everywhere but IE. My question is, Is there a way, using jQuery, to get the div to discover its inherent width and then apply that in pixels, as an inline style, to that tag? It would also have to redefine its width when the window resizes.
