when I try to get the height or any other graphic property of an element which is hidden (in my case, hidden in one jQuery UI tab), I can't manage to get the height of the element. If I do: $("#my_element").outerHeight() I get zero. Whereas If I do the same when the element is visible, I get its height. I work with jQuery 1.3.2 and FF 3.5.
Trying to get the height of an element whose height is specified in the CSS.
So I am trying to animate the height of an item, where I have: <img id="myButton" src="myimage.jpg" /> <div id="myDiv" style="height:50px;overflow:hidden"> asdklf
[Code]....
However, it only registers as 50, even if the element is 500
Specifically, assume I have a div tag of absolute dimensions. I need to figure out, first, whether or not the text inside the div tag is partially hidden by the overflow setting, and if so, what the hidden text is.
Is this even possible? Obviously, the rendering engine in the browser "knows" this information, but is it accessible through Javascript?
I have 4 div tags which are hidden to begin with from the css as shown below:
The contents of these is pulled out of a db and so the quantity of text changes (within certain parameters) and so the size of the divs changes, hence no height: setting.
I know I could get around this by setting an absolute height and using overflow to show a scrollbar but I would rather not have a scrollbar as the amount of text will only be 100-200 words.
Elsewhere I have used the following script to equalise div tags
CODE:
I tried this for my div tags but because they initially start with display:none it sets the height of them to zero. Is there a simple way to make all of these the same height whilst they are hidden?
I have a list of images on my website, and I because of different resolutions on viewers screens, the total height of the div changes. I need to set the "top" value as the height of ".photoswrap".
I am looking for a way to determine is an element style was determined (thru css) or calculated.
So far I can t find the RightWay(tm) for doing this. $().height() returns the calculated height which is the same as $().css("height"). I have solved the problem under IE and Opera using DOM.currentStyle.height. But not on other browsers (e.g. gecko). To make clear, I want to know if the height css rule in action is something like: 100%, auto, inherit, 3em, 5pt, 100px.
$().height() returns the browser calculated value to px, even if the current set is '100%'.
I have several divisions with a hidden division within them, like this:
[Code]...
With that script, if I click on one of the parent divisions ALL of the hidden divisions are shown. That's not what I want. I tried several variations of the script using (this), but I just kept getting errors.
How do I get the elements from a form when these elements are named like each other? I'd like to make a list of values and store it in few hidden elements. It is suppose to work like a list of checkbox whose elements have the same name (and same id), but they are diferent indexed. [code]...
I have a problem, I have a table which dynamically create <tr> elements with a unique numerical id, this is created on a while loop from a database statement, when I click on a hyperlink on each <tr> I use this:
[Code]...
So in this way, I'm sending the unique code (codigo) and I fadeToggle the <tr> identified with that specific id, it works, no problem, it display with one click, hides with another one, BUT, now I need that, when you click on a hyperlink, if any other <tr> is being displayed at the moment, close all of them, and open the clicked one, is there any way I can do this?
I have a class hidden by default at the document ready state. I use the show() function when its parent has been clicked and I want to be able to apply a click function to this newly visible element - when I write it I am finding that it is overriding the initial hide(). How do I work around this? I should say that this element is just a bit of text that says "close x" and will be used to "close" its parent div down...
My design involves two "layers". On the first layer, I have a circle, with some links in the middle. This is just a div with a background image, and some text in the center. Then I have another circle, same size and shape, on top of the first one, covering it up. This circle just has a one or two word title on it. When a user hovers over the title with their mouse, I want that div to disappear, showing the links underneath it. When you mouse out, the circle with the title should show back up.
Here is the basic HTML:
[Code]...
So what happens, is if you mouse over, the circle fades away just fine. But if you move your mouse at all again, even the slightest bit, the event is triggered again. So the title fades in and then out again real quick. Even if you actually mouse completely out of the CircleTitle div, it still triggers one last time instead of just fading in.
Because mouseenter keeps track of the mouse being over that element, and then that div disappears, it's probably causing some problems. But I don't know any other way to get this to work! If someone has some ideas,
I have a vertical navigation menu with the basics (a <ul> with four <li>) but I need one of these list elements to slide to the left and when it finishes show or slide down a nested <ul> with its own li that is now hidden with display: none. and when I click again the first list element I wish everything to close back. or alternatively to close with a timeout. so far I got to this:
I'd like to have an alert of some type, either standard alert or a hidden div, show up when a user selects an option in a select element.
For instance, if a select element has 5 options in it and the user chooses the first one, they would get an alert that says "You have chosen the first option". I'm confident this is something that can be done with a few lines of code, but I'm not sure where to begin.
Here's the logic - I'm just not sure how to write the syntax...
If ("#select option") changes and ("#select option:eq(0):selected"), fade in the div ("alert").
I have 2 divs . The top blue one is of 30 px height, te bottom should stretch to 100 % -30 px. Can this be done somehow crossbrowser ? is there a way to do 100% -30 px ?
On the right site there is a box with a vertical scrollbar. It´s a DIV (id="right") with an iframe in it. Maybe I´ll put a DIV with overflow:auto in it but it doesn´t matter now.
The customer wants that this 'scrollbox' takes all available vertical space. That means it should start right under the header and end above the footer. But when there is much content and the user scrolls down the page the scrollbox has to stick under the top edge of the viewport.
Does anybody know how to realise this?
I think I can use JavaScript to get the y-position of the scrollbox and then change margin-top of the iframe or padding-bottom of DIV id="right" or whatever. Code:
I'm pretty new in JavaScript, so forgive me if that's a lammer question.Here it is: I had wrote some JavaScript to dynamically resize div elements on the client side. In fact the code works fine, but when resizing multiple (nested) divs in a roll not all of them gets resized. The reason is that the new size of the parrent element is not applyed yet when the script gets started for a child!
So my question is: Is there a way (method) to force new size of the parent before i call my script for the nex element? How can I solve this?
i am working on a custom drop down list that has hidden #options DIV which is shown when the user clicks on a button. the problem i am having is that the click event does not seem to be attached to the LI elements since they are hidden when the page first loads. if i show the #options DIV when the page loads everything is working as expected.i've tried to attach the click event after i show the hidden UL but that didn't work either.what can i do to make sure the LI click event fires? i tried to put A tag inside of LI and attach click to that but to no avail.
How can I change the height and width of an element with Javascript? I have tried and so far I can only change either the width or height but not both, doing something like this…
Code:
<HTML> <HEAD> <script type = "text/javascript"> function changeSize(){document.getElementById('test').style.height = '200'}
[code]....
And this works fine but if I try to change both height and width it doesn’t work. Doing something like this doesn’t work
Code:
function changeSize(){document.getElementById('test').style.height = '200' width=’200’}
I'm doing some work on a theme and I'm using horizontal accordion scrollers.
You can see on my practice page that the three main sections (on the right) are all different sizes. The rightmost section has a big block of text but it is all cut off after 600px (which is what I have it set as).
Since this will be for a blog there will be different sized pages with every click but I can't seem to find a way to have the elements default the height based on the amount of content.
The accordion script uses MooTools and you can see everything I've done on my development page.
I'm having trouble with an overlay layer on a page I'm rendering on an iPhone, I'm trying to set it's height to the window.innerHeight but it doesn't appear to be working. I'm trying to do something similiar to a lightbox. I have element
