Get Correct Width Of TD?
Jul 9, 2009
I'm working on recreating a paper form as accurately as possible in XHTML. I can't keep my sanity with that man DIVs, so I'm using nested tables.
In most fields (TDs) I have a label and a text box, and I'd like to have the text box fit the width of the TD as accurately as possible, without going on to another line. As far as I've heard, the only way to do this is using JS to get the width of the TD and the label, and then adjust the width of the text box to fit.
I'm using FireFox 3.0.11 for development. For some reason, the width of the TDs is being reported incorrectly. I've tried .width, .style.width, .offsetWidth, .clientWidth and .scrollWidth. They all agree within a few pixels, but are horribly incorrect. My current screen resolution is 1400x1050, and I've taken a screenshot and measured that to confirm - the actual width of the TD is approx. 1130 pixels, but it's being reported by all of those JS functions as +/- 865 px.
None of the tables or TDs have widths defined, it's all just automatic sizing. The only width/size defined at all is an overall div with 2% margins on each side.

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>

onClick="javascript:myFunction()"
or does it HAVE to be
onClick:"myFunction()"
I know 'javascript' is not necessary here, but just want to know whether to include it (which sometimes I do by mistake) is incorrect syntax or not..

I'm facing the bug about the failure of innterHTML while
reading xhtml content inside a DIV, in fact it has passed as html
removing the closing of some nodes. Is there a way to read the content
of the div perfectly how it is in the page, kind of:
var obj = document.getElementById("myDIV");
var realContent = obj.toString();

I'm looking for opinion/facts/arguments on the correct nesting of UL,
OL, & LI elements.
For example, this is what I want (unordered list):
* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 3
* Item 3a
* Item 3b
* Item 3c
* Item 4
Now, in my markup, I can do (A) or (B), and they both work.
<!-- Markup (A) -->
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
<ul>
<li>Item 3a</li>
<li>Item 3b</li>
<li>Item 3c</li>
</ul>
<li>Item 4</li>
</ul>
<!-- Markup (B) -->
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3
<ul>
<li>Item 3a</li>
<li>Item 3b</li>
<li>Item 3c</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Item 4</li>
</ul>
Now, I prefer, and think that Markup A, is the better representation
of the data... but... I can't find a spec, that dictates which one is
"officially" correct... (due in part to the fact that in old HTML
days, the closing tags were not needed... thus the confusion as to
"where" that closing tag goes, when nesting)
This gets very interesting in the JS/CSS world, trying to deal with
this...
If I generate Markup A, then get a reference to the LI element for
"Item 3", called say... foo then I ask for foo.followingSibling, in
Mozilla, I get as expected, the UL element, but in IE, I get the LI
for "Item 4"... IE "moves" the UL node, to the .lastChild position of
the preceding LI element.
So, here's the questions...
1.) Which method (by vote, spec or whatever) is correct/better?
Method A or B?
2.) Based on (1), is the IE implementation a Bug, or a Feature?
Mozilla's?
3.) If you want to style the sub items, what CSS would you use for
Method A, or B... or does it matter?
PS I don't expect a unanimous answer to any of these, I'm just trying
to get a feel for how everyone else interprets how Nested Lists are
"supposed" to work.

I'm trying to figure out how to make this work and I'm stumped. I wrote this code:
<script type=text/javascript>
function firstfunction();
{
if(document.form1.inputnumbers.value="55");
{
document.form1.outputstate.value="this is a number";
}
[Code]..
I'm trying to doing something really simple but I can't seem to make it work. I'm trying have the textarea display a certain message depending on if the first input box says a certain word or number. So like in the code, if the user types "55" or "never" in the first box, then the second box should say a certain message. Then I used the else statement so that if "55" or "never" is not entered, then the second box says nothing. If you can spot my error or suggest a different way of going about writing the code

I have a table which I would like to be highlighted with the click of a button, but I can't seem to reference it correctly. I can make the <td> clickable and function, but when I try to apply it to the button I can't make it reference the td cell, rather than change the background color of the button.The function is:
function roll(obj){
obj.style.backgroundColor == "pink" ? obj.style.backgroundColor = "#e5e5e5" :
obj.style.backgroundColor = "pink";

I've created a script that should display a certain image based on the day of the week and the time of the day. After uploading the page to the site I receive no errors, however I'm not getting the display I should be seeing. It always returns the image from the final "else" statement. I'm thinking the problem is that I have two "&&" operators in each "if" statement, and I don't have the proper syntax, or perhaps I'm not writing it properly. Code:

I'm used to just using getElementById to look stuff up in my own scripts but I'm doing an assignment and it would not look good to put id's everywhere to modify a html page when there are already name attributes in the elements.
In this page I can't refer to the Family Name input box using document.form1.familyName for some reason. Is it because it's inside a table after the form is opened? What syntax should I be using? Code:

I want to create a link to an email conference which is on 2 servers. Some users will only be registered on server1 and others will be registered on server2. however I don't know which users are on which server.
Is it possible to create some kind of JavaScript function which attempts to open a link to server1 and then if this fails default to server2. It would be far more user friendly.

I�m just writing a simple dynamic counter.
Form:
<form name="eqform">
<input name="ButtonLectureplus" value="+1" type="button" onclick="lectureplus(0.75)">
<input name="TextLecture" type="text" size="30" maxlength="30" readonly>
[code]....
This works in a way that "number" isn�t used and 1 is added repeatedly. 2). Function:
function lectureplus(number)
{document.eqform.TextLecture.value = document.eqform.TextLecture.value + number;}
This doesn�t work because he shows me "0,750,750,75 .... " (and also "+=0.75" shows the same result)
alert (typeof document.eqform.TextLecture.value + number); show me "string0.75"
I tried to use parsefloat() to force "document.eqform.TextLecture.value" be a number but can not find the right syntax to make it work.
"parsefloat(document.eqform.TextLecture.value)" doesn�t work

I have two on-line manuals built with frames. Each has a unique
frameset. Some of the pages have related material and are linked.
Is there a way to have a page from Manual B called from manual A,
which will cause Manual B's frameset to load? In other words, I do
not want Manual B's page to load into the wrong frameset as the
navigation information will be wrong.
