Truncating A String Depending On The Size Of Its Container?
Jul 22, 2009
I want to truncate a string using javascript and have found several methods for doing this on Google which involve entering an arbitrary number of words to have it truncated to.
However, does anybody know of a solution that takes into account the size of the text and it's container? So that the Javascript will truncate the text at the right point even if the user has increased the default font size with their browser.
I am using Lightbox 2.04. I would like to change the size of the image container for the large image. No matter what size I actually make the image, when it appears it always fills the containing box and is too big. It is portrait orientation and sometime the image needs vertical scrolling to see it all.
How do I change the size of the image container so it fits nicely within the screen and where do I find the code to do this? I want the container to be the size of the image. Does this happen automatically based on the actual size of the image? If so, mine doesn't do that.
I need a script for the head of my HTMl file that examines the size of the browser window. If the browser is a certain size, then the HTML will load a external javascript.
Is it possible to get the size of a message (<string>) in kb rather than counting the characters?Note: Some characters could be double byte such as Chinese characters.Reasoning: I need to check if my message is over 10kb and if so split appropriately into chunks of <= 10kb.
If I have a div that's 300px by 20px, is there a function that calculates whether a string will display with a line break, given font-size of 21px? If not, I'll have to create some code, but if it's already available, that's even better
All my font-sizes are set as relative sizes in CSS (large, medium, small, x-small, etc). Let's say something is set in CSS to be xx-large, but a visually impaired user wants it displayed even bigger. Can a script determine an element's absolute size, *as it is being rendered by the browser*, and then increment the element's font-size in absolute terms?
I'm attempting to make a web page that adapts to the size of your browser size when it maximized. Because I'm only 15 I'm not such a great programmer or coder. I've done my best with the resources I have though (Fluent in Lua and a natural ability to pick languages syntax up quickly)
Here is what I have so far, it doesn't work and it is starting to puzzle me. As it seems correct as I look at it. I'm sorry if this question show my ignorance. I try my best to hide it.
Some of it is Copy pasted from sources on Google. But only for educational purposes, I learn off reading, examining and testing out snippets.
I'm basically trying to get the max size of the window and resize the div accordingly.
where da boss wants our a large piece of our site to be fully dynamic and integrated on any screen size. This means changing font on size. Well I cam up with a solution, figured if no one has one better, then i'll share
I am new to Jquery mobile framework.I have an asp.net web application and I want to convert it into Jquery mobile framework.I have a datalist on an aspx page.The size of the datalist decreases according to the window size to certain extent after which the size of the datalist becomes constant and doesn't decrease with the window size.
How can I change my text or font size when the user changes the browser size. Example: When the browser is maximized, the font goes to normal, when the browser window decreased, the font size is reduce.
I developed a web application and it is working fine, except for one issue. The application includes uploading files from a JSP to my servlet, and the issue is that i would like to have a limit for the uploaded files on the client side (before actually uploading it).
I investigated alot and found some ways like changing my JSPs to PHPs, which is not feasable for my application. I would also like to add that using the Flash component ("<object>") for uploading is not feasable also at this time. Using ActiveX does not work also (for some security issues in javascript, it can not access the system information, also ActiveX works only on IE).
I would like to add that I have my application running on Oracle application Server, JSPs for displaying the forms, MultiPart Java API for getting the form input values and files to my servlet and everything is developed in JAVA.
Either by limiting the file size or the limiting the whole request size sent to the servlet.
I'd have thought this would be easy but I've been looking for hours and all I can find is info on getting the viewport size, which is normally useful but not in my situation.
In this case I need the actual browser size, including the scrollbars, toolbars, status bars etc. to get an idea of browsers which aren't maximised/full screen and how big they are, and to calculate the amount of the screen taken up by toolbars etc too.
I am trying to have a container div generated by the DOM, holdeverything inside the body. I can't get it to hold the contents in the body.
<html><head> <style type="text/css"> body { text-align:center; } #container { width:200px; margin: 0 auto; text-align:left; border:solid 1px #000; padding:5px; } </style> <script type="text/javascript"> var d = document; function insert(){ var box = d.createElement('div'); box.id = "container"; d.body.insertBefore(box, d.body.firstChild) // not what I want // d.body.appendChild(box); } window.onload=insert; </script> </head> <body> This content should be centered and inside the div. <h3>This text also.</h3> </body> </html>
My HTML is shown in an iframe. There is a link in the HTML that needs the ID of the iframe to be used in the onclick event. How do I get it? I tried accessing the target property, but it turns out to be undefined. Also I do not know the frame number in the parent's frame collection. SO I cannot do parent.frames[2].id.
I want to do this with js and not with any html/css tables, image fills or whatever other trick, but I don't know how...
Say I have multiple DIV containers below each other, which contain multiple DIV boxes floating next to each other. None of the DIV elements have a fixed height:
<div id="container1"> <div id="box1">some text</div> <div id="box2">some double more text</div> <div id="box3">some other text</div>
[Code]....
I want for each container (separately) to have the contained box divs to fit the biggest one in height.
For example, in container1, if box2 contains more text than the others, I want box1 and box3 height to fit box2. And in container2, if box4 has more text than the others, I want box5 and box6 height to fit box4, etc.
In my dreamworld, the solution would be flexible and fully automated, which means, it would look for all container divs of class x or Id x and apply the same rule to all child divs.
I have heard of jquery "equalheights" plugin but I don't think it can do that ? or then I misunderstood something. Could I be using some "get element by class" function and then apply a style.height to the divs?
I am using the YUI library to do the following.I use YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest to obtain some HTML from the server.I then use new YAHOO.widget.Dialog(...) passing it the ID of a dynamically created DIV and then loading it with the HTML obtained earlier.Now the HTML I receive has some javascript in it, and this works perfectly in Firefox. But in IE the javascript doesn't run. It doesn't seem to work in Chrome either guess I want to know if this is a known problem, or have I done something wrong. And if it is a known problem are there any workarounds?
I have a drop area that should be pulling a value from a hidden input field when activated.For some reason, the code can see the image and set the new values but trying to get the value of the input field always comes back undefined. It's the $newSKU2 value that isn't getting set.
var $newpic2 = $('#2').find('img').attr('src'); var $newtitle2 = $('#2').find('img').attr('title'); var $newtext2 = $('#2').parent().parent().find('font').text();
