Is there either a client-side solution in HTML or Javascript, or will
I have to use a server-side solution in PHP? I'm completely stuck and
under a Monday AM deadline to come up with a solution.
I'm using a third party libray and I can drag a diveand resize it. The issue is, I have a textarea inside of it and I need to resize the width of textarea and height of textarea along with it.
I know what the width and height of the div will be when it finishes dragging (in "px"), so how do I convert the width and height in "px" to the cols and rows of a textarea?
I'm really not sure how to go about doing this, so any and all pointers are welcome. What I'd like to do is be able to find the position and width of a word that has been typed inside of a <textarea>, so that I might overlay some absolutely-positioned elements on top, and size them properly. I would really like to be able to do this in the most general case as possible (independent of fonts, font size, size of the textarea, etc.), but as stated any help is welcome.
I spent way too long writing a buggy and bloated jQuery script that is supposed to allow the sub-menus of a drop-down menu be a dynamic width (i.e. the submenu assumes the width of the widest list item). I am probably missing some base CSS property, surely it cant be this hard? My script I wrote is:
// drop down menu var setWidth = 2; var nextSetWidth = 0; $jQ('.nav li').hover(function(){ var thisList = $jQ(this).parent('ul'); if (thisList.parent('li').length > 0) { thisList.children('li').each(function(){ var thisSpan = $jQ(this).find('span'); var spanWidth = thisSpan.width(); if (spanWidth > setWidth) { setWidth = spanWidth; }}); setWidth = setWidth + 16; thisList.css('width', setWidth); }
var nextList = $jQ(this).find('.nav:eq(0)'); if (nextList.parent('li').parent('ul').parent('li').length == 0){ nextList.css('left', '2px'); }
nextList.children('li').each(function(){ var nextThisSpan = $jQ(this).find('span'); var nextSpanWidth = nextThisSpan.width(); if (nextSpanWidth > nextSetWidth) { nextSetWidth = nextSpanWidth; }});
nextSetWidth = nextSetWidth + 16; nextList.css('width', nextSetWidth); if (nextList.parent('li').parent('ul').parent('li').length > 0){ nextList.css('left', setWidth); }}, function(){ $jQ(this).find('.nav:eq(0)').css('left','9999em'); setWidth = 2; nextSetWidth = 0; }); //End of Drop down menu
The HTML looks something like: <ul class="nav"> <li><a><span></span></a></li> <li><a><span></span></a></li> <li><a><span></span></a> <ul class="nav"> <li><a><span></span></a></li> </ul> </li> </ul>
I'm currently working on an IE7 CSS fix for a rather large form. Long story short, I have each input wrapped in a div, all in the same class. What I need, is to have each div define a padding-right value that is equal to the width of that div. I'm fairly new to jQuery, so I'm in need of some help with the syntax. Here's what I currently have, but it keeps printing a padding-right value of "0".
$('.form_label').each(function(){ $(this).css('padding-right', function() { var w = $(this).width();
I am trying to code a webpage that does the following:Listens for user key presses in an input box and dynamically writes them below the input box in a textarea.
I've written a small plugin to serve as a feature rotator and am having one strange problem.You can see some demos of the plugin and documentation here:
http://pbskids.org/pbskidswidgets/carousel.html.The plugin does a number of things that involve reading the width and height of DOM elements and using them to set the width and height of other elements. The problem is that sometimes in Firefox and Safari, when the page loads, the widths and heights of panels in the carousel are fracked.
Reload the page and the problem's fixed. In Safari, I can't get it to happen again on many reloads. In Firefox, though, if I reload repeatedly, I can get the problem to happen again: maybe once every seven or eight times.It looks like something's happening with page loading, but I'm at a loss to diagnose it further: is the script firing before the elements have fully loaded sometimes, and then works on subsequent tries because those elements are in the cache? Also: I've never seen this error in any of the IE versions.
I am using the cluetip plugin to show a formatted version of text thatthe user types into a text area. So I have a <textareaid="description">, and as the user types, they can at any time click a"preview" button will call cluetip to display the popup. Here is mycurrent cluetip call:
I would like to restrict Character limit on TEXTAREA box.I am able to get char limit using Jquery if it it is one textArea. limit chars for Multiple TEXTAREA in same page using jQuery Code.
<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { // ---- How can I do on keyup $('textarea
I dynamically make a textarea and save the text, but when I try to output it with javascript, the newlines screw it up... if you don't understand what i mean, here is some code:
Code:
With that newline in javascript, the javascript throws an error. i am working in jsp, so how would i change the text that is put into the textarea with javascript without changing the newlines?
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.
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...)
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.
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 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); });
How would i change back to the default length of textarea?

When I start typing Tech ID it suggests me the list of IDs which start with the input string i have put in Tech textbox. When i select the Tech ID the jobs associated to that Tech ID should be displayed in JOB ID text box as a dropdown list.
I am having a problem with the last results. I can't seem to be able to get the input2A and input3A to appear. I don't seem to have a problem with the show and hide after a number is entered and submitted. If anyone can answer my problem I will be greatly appreciated with a prize. I actually have submitted it more than once and I haven't had anyone been able to answer it yet. Code:
i was trying for some days now to find a solution for this. had a look at different posts and forums online, but no luck so far...is it possible to auto-create this with a loop???:
