JQuery :: Calculate The Width Of Each Column Plus The Combined Width For The Container?
Apr 26, 2011
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 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.
I want to automatic calculate the width of a child div. I have a parent with a fixed with and two children in there. The first has a flexible width due to his content (title of post) and is transparent. The second child contains only a background image and should always fill the rest-width. I tried it like this but it doesn't work [code]...
The *small, medium fullsize* text will be off to the left (in IE8 or IE9, works fine in Chrome, FireFox) and will not be aligned with the left edge of the image.
Code [URL] Line 154:
Code JavaScript: ShowView.prototype.setImageSrc = function (imagesrc) { var image = $('img#image');
[code]...
From what I can tell the `container.width(imageWidth);` is not rendered in IE8 or IE9. If the page is refreshed then it works. Using the built in developer tool shows the correct value in the html but if you use selector tool in the developer tool outline does not reflect the changed width value.I've tried using vanilla javascript. That did not work. I've tried setting the image source twice. That did not work either.
I want to ensure one column in a table is always the same number of pixels wide no matter what the screen resolution is set to on the visitors PC - the other two columns can wrap away top their hearts content.
How do I do this please? The code below doesn't do it.
The <div class="child"> width value is always 10 pixels less than <div id="parent"> width value. How can it be calculated so any width value is given to <div id="parent">, its child gets 10 pixels less than that?
I have to create a table using javascript. Firefox displays the expected result but for IE, the column width is screwed >"< I have to use the col tag to set width because sometimes the first row maybe merged. All I need is to create a table that strictly displays according to the inputted column widths from my program. In below I have setup very short example that construct table in a similar way to my original javascript function. I also draw a ruler to help showing the proper width of 400px on the screen. column 1 should be 100px width and column 2 should be 300px.

anyone give me some samples about using mouse to adjust column width of table;and it must can be wrapped conveniently as a java component for our client using; the samples is more easy is better;
To allow for scrolling, I have two frames (I know, I know) containing two pieces of the 'same' table: a non-scrolling header and a scrolling body, each in a different frame.The problem: even if I specify exactly the same formatting, the columns often end up with different widths because of 1. the scroll bar in one frame and not the other and 2. horizontally large elements which force different column sizes in one table but not the other.
So, my question is this: Is there a fairly direct, (nearly?) browser universal way of synchronizing the column formatting of one table with another? I hear there is a way to add a scrollbar to just the table contents, not the table headers. But lets assume I really want to work with two separate tables.
i try to figure out how to calculate string width in a textarea while typing in it. the textarea has a fixed start width. when the string gets longer as the textarea width, the textarea should be made bigger while typing programatically.
my only problem is to determine the size of the string in the textarea. i know the font family and font size.
I am retrieving titles from a database and then displaying them on screen. However when I display them I must make sure that they fit inside a certain rectangle. If it deosn't fit then i must reduce the font size and recalculate until it fits. The title is in two parts Code:
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 ( {

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 understand that if I have an element in my document tree, I can use getComputedStyle() to determine its width based on CSS styles.
I want to dynamically create some elements to populate a given div, but I want the size of these elements to be controllable via CSS. When dynamically populating the div, I need to determine how many elements will fit. Currently, I have to add an element to the div first so its size will be calculated, then I can base my calculations off of that. However, this seems like not a great way to do ti.
Is there some way to ask for the size of an element to be calculated as if it were part of the document tree? That way, I could make my changes all at once.
[URL]If you go to that site on Firefox, the "Return Code #" expands. But if you use IE, you'll see that it doesn't.I could add a fix in there for the fields if they were static, but if you see my javascript, they are dynamically loading fields.
I am using a script I found on a jQuery board [URL] and it works for them, but not for me because my syntax is probably wrong. And they also are just using 1 field and not near-unlimited dynamically loading fields like I am.How would I add in a fix to have the browser 'only' use the expansion if the user is using IE6 or IE7?

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.
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 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 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 have a few html fields in a form that use PHP in order to calculate a combined value and then inserting it into the database. However, I would want that value to be displayed to the user as well before they insert it, just so they can verify that the value is correct. But how do I go about and do this?
It is probably very simple, but I'm a PHP programmer and have very little knowledge of JavaScript. Basically this is what I would want:
<field 1> -20 +(or -, depending on user input) <field 2> Result of that to be displayed in <field 3>
However, I only want the -20 to calculated when something is entered in <field 1> so that it does not say -20 in the output field before the user even started typing a value.
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.
