Width Of A String
Jul 20, 2005
I am trying to create a very long dynamic document with fixed width
for the cells of my table iin HTML, I need to truncate some of the
information that I display to fit in the table.
As the document is very long I can not use the offsetwidth
functionality of the cell because then the user will see the
information being truncated, which is not desireable, I was wondering
if there is any way of calculating the width of the text displayed in
the "risky" rows on the fly before the whole document gets rendered.
I tried to display the information in the row and then try to truncate
it right away after using the offsetwidth to see the width of the text
in pixel, but this is not working as the offsetwidth needs the whole
document to be rendered before being able to calculate the exact
value.

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.

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.
Code:
<div id="topNav">
<ul>
<li><img src="<?php print $site->folder['images']['header']; ?>topmenu_left.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></li>
<li name="navItem"><a href="<? print $site->url['about']; ?>">About Us</a></li>
<li name="navItem"><a onmouseover="setWindow('loginWindow');" href="<? print $site->url['billing']; ?>">Client Services</a></li>
[Code]...

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);
});
HTML:
<div class="wrapper">
<p><img src="image1.jpg" width="200" /><br />
Caption</p>
</div>
[code].....

I have a simple example below showing how when I pass in the value of the value attribute of option node, and then use if operator to check whether parameter is a string or not, even though it's a string, it converts it to false boolean and triggers the else statement rather than calling a function.callback should be a string so why is it saying otherwise?

I am currently trying to build a new function in javascript that is supposed to handle a string of text. The idea is that it should find the lowercase letters and uppercase letters in a string and then swap them.
Meaning all lowercase letter becomes uppercase letter and vice versa.
So i am just asking if someone could point me in the right direction or give some tips. I've currently been reading about the toUpperCase(); and toLowerCase(); functions and i am fairly confident i know how to use them for switching, however i still need a way to find the lower , upper character in the string so i later can switch them.

var stringToBeFound = 'Microsoft'
var ReplaceString = 'site'
document.write(str.replace(stringToBeFound , ReplaceString ));
</script>
My problem is im trying to use string.replace that is not case sensitive and replace every string found. I could use regular expression with it but my stringToBeFound is a dynamic variable im getting it from my database

I'm working with a web site that has frames defined as:
<frameset rows="60,*" frameborder="yes" border="0" framespacing="0" cols="*"
bordercolor="#eeeeee" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0"
marginwidth="0">
<frame name="topFrame" scrolling="auto" src="top.asp"
bordercolor="#cccc66" frameborder="yes" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"
marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" framespacing="0">
<frameset cols="180,*" frameborder="YES" border="0" framespacing="2"
rows="*" bordercolor="#eeeeee" resize="yes" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"
marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">
<frame name="leftFrame" scrolling="auto" src="left.asp"
bordercolor="#eeeeee" frameborder="no">
<frame name="basefrm" src="common/DisplayInformation.asp"
scrolling="auto" bordercolor="#eeeeee" frameborder="no">
</frameset>
</frameset>
I need to get the width of "leftFrame" from a script running in one of the
other frames (usually "basefrm").
I tried parent.leftFrame.width, but it returns "undefined" (but
parent.leftFrame.name does return "leftFrame"). I suspect I need something
before ".leftFrame", since the framesets are nested. How would I refer to
leftFrame to get its width?
