JQuery :: Getting The Width Of The Elements Contained In A Div (all Together)
Dec 17, 2010
I'm trying to get the width of the elements contained in a div. At the moment that was my best try : $("div.mydiv").children().width(); But all I get is the width of the first child.
What I need is the width of child1 + child2 + child3 etc.... each child might have a different width and they can be a div or an image <img>.
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.
What would be the best way to find the largest width of all child elements? Yes, the containing block should be the largest width but in my case there could be some overflow that is larger than the container.
Is it possible to select the elements who's width was specified by CSS? It's easy if they specified it by the width attribute *[width]. If you look at each elements css('width') it shows what was specified or automatically generated (always something).
I am having difficulty getting the value of a specific value contained in a <p> tag, what is happening is that it retrieves the value of the first <p> tag value and not the one the user clicksWhat I need is to retrieve the value from the <p> tag the user clicked
$(document).ready(function() { $("p").click(function () { var prop = $("#property_links").val();
I'm receiving html into a variable from an external source and I'm trying to modify the id of one of the inputs within the html but when I change it, the original html isn't getting updated. an example of what I'm trying to do is :
var sTemp = "<div><input type='hidden' name='test' id='test' /></div>"; $("#test", sTemp).attr("id","newid"); after changing the attribute, sTemp still contains the original code
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 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)
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 an asp application contained within an Iframe. If the browser refreshes, the page within the Iframe reverts back to the login page and the user has to log on again.Is there a way to keep this from happening if a user clicks the refresh button on their browser?
Basically I have an application which generates HTML using VB dll's. This makes the code generated un-changeable as the dll's are not to me modified in any way. What I need to do is get hold of a image element so that I can switch its SRC to dynamically change the image. GetElementById is out as the nearest I can get to it is the <a> tag surrounding the <img> tag, so my question is what's the easiest and most bomb proof method of accessing this element.
How do I use Javascript to loop through all the spreadsheets contained in 1 excel file?
I am now at the stage where I can open the Excel file and find a value on 1 spreadsheet. Is there any way to detect if the workbook has multiple spreadsheets and then loop through all the spreadsheets to find a value?
I am planning on using the maito form with Javascript. I have a form and it is structured in the following fashion: <form> <b>Subject </b> <input type="text" name="subject" size="30"><br> <b>Person 1 <b><input type="checkbox" name="email" value="person1@email.com"><br> <b>Person 2 <b><input type="checkbox" name="email" value="person2@email.com"><br> <b>Person 3 <b><input type="checkbox" name="email" value="person3@email.com"><br> <input type="submit" onclick="submit"> </form>
What I am trying to do with Javascript is that you fill out the subject name and then you select which recipients of email you want to receive the email. So if I select Checkbox 1 and Checkbox 3 then when I click submit, it opens my Outlook and the To is filled in with person1@email.com;person2@email.com. So I guess I would need the javascript to populate and <href mailto: form after checking which names are checked and then populating the mailto with the variable that contains the list of names I chose. Right now we have a clunky method using the mailto but I don't have the option of choosing who it mails to so when I send it, I send the mail to everyone, even those on vacation.
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 have a window (it's a modal dialog as well, but let's ignore that for now), where I need to write data into an iframe. Dynamically generated data. This data contains a form, this form is then sent to a server process, which expects it to be latin1 (iso-8859-1). It arrives as UTF-8. I have set the charset both in the container html (which contains the iframes) and the iframe in question to latin1, I once toyed with accept-charset of the form as well, all was ignored. So I started to recreate the experiment step by step.
HTML, meta tag text/html charset=iso-8859-1, FORM directly in it --> data is sent as latin1 Next I put the HTML for the form into its own HTML, put an iframe into the first documented and had its src point to the new HTML. Both the new and the old HTML had charset meta tags. Form was loaded into iframe, sent properly as latin1.
I removed both metatags, we're still sending as latin1. Next I thought it might have something to do with the dynamic nature of the iframe filling. I only assigned the iframe's src at runtime. Still, latin1.
Then I took the final step, and instead of reading an html into the src of the iframe, I wrote the code into the iframe with document.write. Everything LOOKED the same, but the server now receives the form data as UTF-8.
For this experiment I am using IE 5.5 (it is our compatibility base, another browser is not an option unfortunately - I'm a straight firefox man at home), and yes, the content has to be written into the iframe dynamically. I cannot create a temp file that I would load into it, or I would much rather not (it's a rather complex performance issue)
To clarify: Soon as I'm using document.write, all meta tags and or accept-charset (or what it was called) for the form are ignored completely.
I have created a page which pulls search results from various sites using PHP. It displays each result in a row in a table upon running.
I wanted to add a button saying "More information" at which point, a div would appear and load the associated link for that search result within an iframe within the newly appeared div. I've been able to get a div appear and disappear on button click but, I couldn't get it to dynamically load an iframe on click with the associated search results link.
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 was trying to develop something where on hover of a paragraph the background colour of a div tag that contained all the content changed correspondingly.So the html is something like this:
Code HTML4Strict: <div id="container"> <p>Change the colour</p> </div>
I did something simple first where the text colour of the paragraph changed on hover of that paragraph. Now that works completely fine. Here is the code:
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); });
