Sizing An Element To Its Contents?
Nov 10, 2009
Is it possible in Javascript to Size an element to its contents?
I have resizable divs with overflow=auto, and I'd like to plot them initially with fixed width and at the minimum height which will avoid the appearance of y-scrollbars.
I would be fine if I could find the actual total length of the included document given the current width of the div. (Calculating it would seem to be difficult, given unknown wrapping algorithms, empty lines, etc.)
Or somewhat less fine, even if I could question whether there is overflow, or clipping, or whether scrollbars have been added to the div, given the current height.
I could then hack the height till the overflow or clip or scrollbars went away. (Yuk!)
But I can't find any css or other read-only properties I could query that would give me any of those values.
I assume that YOffset or scrollY wouldn't help, since they would be 0 when the bottom is clipped off. (I don't even know if they're even defined for divs.)
I haven't been able to find a "scroll Object" that would say whether the scroll bar is showing.

I would like to, for debugging purposes, obtain the contents of a
<script> element. I'm aware that the text property contains the text
contained within the element. However, the <script> element I'm
interested is an external script, specified with the src attribute.
Is there a way to access the linked contents of such an element?

I'm trying to simply replace a certain string from the contents of an element, I tried this:
<div id="errorCont">Microsoft and Apple</div>
var ErrorContText=$("#errorCont").html();
ErrorContText=ErrorContText.replace("Apple","No one");
$("#errorCont").html(ErrorContText);
So the div SHOULD now say "Microsoft and No one", but it's not working.

I know how to write this: $("li.subnav").wrap("<a href='#' id='video'></a>");
But it renders as <a id="video" href="#">
<li class="subnav">Blogs</li>
</a>
What I need is:
<li class="subnav"><a id="video" href="#">Blogs</a></li>
So how can I wrap the contents of li.subnav instead of the li elements themselves? I would also love to know how I could use the contents for example "Blogs" to set the id of the link. <a id="blogs" for the blogs link etc.

I've been using pop-ups for some time now and I still can't figure out how to get the image to fit perfectly in the new window. There's always a few pixels of background showing and I have to increase the size of the window just to have the spaces around the image to even out. Is there any way to completely remove the vertical and horizontal spaces in pop-ups?

I've been trying to use HTML text that will scale up or down using the
Internet Explorer 6.0 menu ViewText Size. I'm using CSS to set the sizes
and weight.
When I use ViewText Size Medium and CSS the results are
Product line - font-size: medium - result bolded
Pricing line - font-size: small - normal
When I use ViewText Size with any size not medium and CSS the results are
Product line - font-size: medium - normal
Pricing line - font-size: small - normal
If I use font-weight bold for the Product Line I end up with double bolding
when ViewText is set to Medium.
This inconsistant behavior of bolding makes it hard to have consistant
looking fonts where the Product Line should be bolded.
If I use a set point size the text will not scale.
Is there a way of setting up fonts so that the results across the ViewText
Size options is consistant?

I am trying to get frame re-sizing to work in Netscape 6, using the following JavaScript function:
function bannerframesize()
{
if (!document.all)
{top.document.getElementById("cars_r_set").rows="40,*"}
else
{top.document.all.cars_r_set.rows="40,*"}
}
The document.all method works for IE4 & IE5/5.5 and the document.getElementById method works with IE5.5 (I've proved this, although in the above function the document.all would take precedence with IE5/5.5), but it does not work with Netscape 6 (I can read the rows property value using this method, I just can't write to it). I've tried using both top.document.... and parent.document....
My JavaScript Bible (by Danny Goodman) states that the getElementById should work with Netscape 6 and that one can read AND write the <FRAMESET> rows property in Netscape 6.

I am building a webpage built with a column on the left, a header, and a main iframe which is the main content of the page. The content of the main iframe can get to be long, and I want the iframe to resize its height to fit the content. I know javascript can do this. I have seen many live examples of it working online. My problem is when I try and use the code myself (even if I leave the live example pages unchanged, but just save them and run them offline) it doesn't work. That is, the iframes work, the page works, but the iframe doesnt fit it's content.
Now, the page that I'm building is fully offline right now and I don't know if my javascript will work just fine if hosted on a domain and accessed online, but as it is it's not working and I don't know why. As an example here is some code, and the page it was taken from
[Code]...

I am making a PHP-MySQL site which has an image gallery page that generates thumbnail-sized versions of images (the paths are all in the DB) using the width= tag. I have it so that when you click on the thumbnail, a fixed-size window pops up with the actual-sized version of the image. The new window just displays the image itself with .jpg in the address bar, and not an HTML or PHP file that contains the image tags and path in it. Is there any way I can have the new window automatically adjust to the size of the image, or is it strictly a one-size-fits-all dealy?

I am new to jQuery and not an experienced programmer. I downloaded the accordion widget and it works fine. I have one small problem: the content box instances 2 and3 onwards, seem to be sizing themselves depthwise to the size of the first content box and not dynamically to the number of lines of text I enter in each. Can I make it dynamic with alterations to the CSS? If so whichproperty do I alter and to what?

I didn't write much of this code, but basically, it opens an image in a new window. The problem is that the new window can either be the whole page, or a certain set size. I would like to make the window height and width determined not by a pixel number, but by a percentage of the size of the image I am opening in the new window.
here is the piece of code I think is pertinant.
// Strip file name from image src
var spath=targ.getAttribute('src');
wholePathLength=spath.length;
strippedPathLength=spath.substring(0,spath.lastIndexOf("/")).length;
[Code]....

I have a page where users click on a small thumbnail image to view a larger version of the image in a new window. But instead of just viewing the image file, I want them to view an HTML page that contains the image and a "Close Window" button. I know how to do that, and I know how to specify the size of the popup window. But...
What I'm trying to do is make the popup window just big enough for the image and the button, with perhaps a 10 pixel border around it. Since the images will vary in size, I can't hard code the width and height properties of the popup window. I need to have JavaScript measure the height and width of the image to calculate the dimensions for the popup window (and presumable this would have to be done before it opens the new window).

I'm looking for javascript to analyze the contents of a textbox and replace the contents with the appropriate date. To make that a little clearer, if the user types 'tomorrow' then when they tab/move onto the next text box the 'tomorrow' text should be replaced with the date for tomorrow in the format dd/mm/yyyy, if the user enters '1 week' then the text should be replaced with the date in one week in the format dd/mm/yyyy etc.

I need to produce some code to get the contents of the particular TD I am running a function in.
I have the following code which works fine up the point of wanting to delete a row. In order to make it work again I have to go into the code and adjust all the numbers in the functions (not sure that's the correct terminology)
<head>
<script language='javascript'>
exchRate = '1.12';
function gettheUKP(which) {
[Code]....
So in essence I think I need to change the highlighted line to say "get the contents on the span within this TD".

I'm working on stripping specific HTML tags in order to do a selected string comparison.
Stripping the tag, done.
Re-calibrating the selection start and end points, done.
Capturing the tags for re-insertion, done.
Getting the start point of the tag, done.
What I am having trouble with is finding the content between the tag so that I can put it back after altering the selected text.

Right, ok, well I have designed a form that will display a price (22.34) in
a text box, and another price in the other text box... I also have a blank
text box... Now I want to add both the prices together and get a total in
the bloank textbox..
I got this example off a website sumwhere.. But it does not display the
decimal number, it only displays the whole number..
var number1 = parseInt(document.forms[0].CasesSellingPrice.value);
var number2 = parseInt(document.forms[0].AccessoriesSellingPrice.value);
document.forms[0].total.value = number1 + number2;
