Getting A <p> To Have A Fixed Width Regardless Of Content
Aug 23, 2006
what im trying to do is get a paragraph tag to display like a textbox
but put links in there which can be clicked on. (so a textbox wont
work). i want each <pto have the same length (regardless of link
length) so they line up ok when placed in rows.
how to make the menu items a fixed width in a horizontal Superfish menu . I've tried mucking about with the CSS but no luck so far. I'm sure it's easy, but I can't seem to work it out.
I am currently using a popup window to establish the dimensions of a window, specifically based on the the width/height of the content area.
I would prefer to simply resize it and avoid the need for a popup altogether, but this is made difficult due to inconsistancies as to how resizeTo() accounts for whatever toolbars are 'on' which varies from browser to browser and platform to platform.
The site is coded to W3C (X/HTML, CSS) and the DOM/DHTML content is gradually being rewritten in accordance with the W3C DOM.).
The W3C DOM property to get/set the window content area dimensions are:
I'm having an issue getting the height and width of DIV elements that have resized themselves to fit their content.
Note: I do not have a problem getting the height and width of DIV elements that I have set using Javascript. The probel is that this value appears to stick. I.e. the height is set to 150px, then the content is changed and the DIV cosumes as much height as is required (clearly more than 150px), however analysing the DOM indicates that the height is the same (though it is clearly not).
I want to know how to get hold of the 'actual' size of a DIV element that is manipulated by the content of the DIV.
I am also interested in a solution that works in IE and Firefox (at least).
My problem is that my page have a fixed width of for example 800px which the iframe width is 100% of this width, but some external websites I put inside the iframe have a wider fixed width than 600, for example if the external website have the width of 1000px then my iframe will have a horizontal scroll. I don't want the horizontal scroll to appear and at the same time I want the iframe to show the whole width of the external website. Is there a way that I can control the width of the external website and make it 100% of the width of my iframe instead of their fixed 1000px for example? I don't think I can but I thought I would ask anyways maybe it's possible!
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); });
I have a div with headers. Of course, when there are too many rows, you have to scroll and lose the headers of the form. How can I accomplished "fixed headers?" so that they're always visible?
I'm having an issue with a problem with Javascript on my website. Please note I didn't create the javascript someone else did a long time ago and I'm using it with their permission and they are no longer on the internet or in webpage ways.
The basic problem is that these pages work just fine in IE6 and IE7 but with Firefox 1 and 2 they work but not as they are suppose to. Code:
Anyone know how to make an svg circle radius fixed (i.e. not affected by transforms)? I tried adding px or cm, e.g. r=ཋpx' but it just generates an error.
First off by let me stating that I am not a great web devloper nor am I a good with css / javascript. I am creating this website for a friend of mines company and I have one problem.The problem is that the navigation menu on the right side will not remain fixed how i want it to be. I spoke with many people and they all said that this cannot be done with css considering your layout and because it needs to dodge the headers and the footer. I basically want this div (sidenav on the right) to scroll along the page as users scroll up or down but it can not interfere with the header or footer. I do not want the right side navigation to go over the content or out of the wrapper. I want it to stay in the same position in all aspects - left / right / top / bottom. Here is a link to the site [URL].
I only have a table that is a fixed height within which to place a menu of links.
There are more lines of links than will fit in the table. So i need to have ascroll bar on the right within the table to access the rest of the links.
I have played with code for drop down menus and opening in frames etc, with no real problem, but in this instance i have to display them in a fixed size table, can anyone point me in the right direction.
I have a "Roaming Companion" on my sites index page (www.studylinks.org - look for the red R) and I would like to fix its size and disable the expand and maximize functions. I assume it's in the Java rather than the HTML or CSS but do tell me if i'm wrong.I'm new to the forum so please forgive any posting/etiquette errors on my part. Javascript Document
function doPopups() { if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return false; var links=document.getElementsByTagName("a");
I just thought this might require some javascript, so I posted this here. Anyway, how do I create an element that is absolutely positioned first, and then, when it goes to the top of the page, it becomes fixed?
I am trying to have a sidebar that has a fixed position so it scrolls with the page, but can be hidden (toggled) like this: only on the right side of the pageI am going nuts trying to figure this out: I've tried dozens of scripts but everyone has problems working together
