Unable To Calculate The Offsetwidth Of The Element Which Contains Extra Space In Between The Characters?
Nov 26, 2009
I am not able to calculate the offsetwidth of the element which contains extra space in between the characters.for ex. if the element contains "A A" as a innerHTML value - if we calculate offsetwidth as 29 and also if the element contains "A A" value again I am getting the same offsetwidth as 29.While calculating the offsetwidth it is not calculating the empty space.May I know how to calculate the offsetwidth with the empty space because I need to insert the ellipsis (...) if it exceeds original width?
Code snipet
function fitStringToWidth(title,width,className) {
var span = document.createElement("span");
span.className="titleBar-Title-1";

I have an accordion in which all the data is being populated from a database. The problem is that after it runs through the query and adds my data it leaves alot of extra spaces which leads the user to have to scroll a great deal before finding the next header.
Here is my code.
<? $sqlQuery = "SELECT id, date, name FROM webinars "; $result = mysql_query($sqlQuery); ?>
I'm currently using the Jquery Flipv plugin, which works well. The only problem is, some words have extra padding at the end, depending on how many characters.
I'm not sure why this is, but it seems that the conversion to vertical text creates some extra spacing on certain browsers.
just look at the scroll bar in your internet browser when the picture slide working you will find the scroll getting extended - the page must be ended by the copyrights down of the page and after the slide you will find some extra blank space in the page after the copyrights link.
I've got an image that when it's loaded it initiates a function that runs the first block of code below which checks if the image is part of a series. If it is it searches for the number in the source file. If it's the first image (which doesn't have a number) it sets the matches to 0
Code: var regex = /(d+)/; matches = regex.exec(_this.source);//'files/images/transworld mag.jpg'
I want to dynamically resize textareas to always have enough rows to hold the data, so there is never a need for a vertical scroll bar no matter whether the user types in large paragraphs or only puts one character per line. Is there some kind of existing facility for doing this? Perhaps in a library? Or maybe there is a property of the textarea which can be checked in a row-incrementing loop to determine whether a scrollbar is still needed.
So I want to be able to check the last 15 characters of a string for either <br /> or a space. I know how to do this with PHP but I have no clue how to do this with Javascript and Google is failing me. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Example string: var string = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat."
I'm assuming this will be done with lastIndexOf but I do not know how to do it. So to reiterate, I want to check to see if either a space exists, or <br />, delete everything after that, and return the string. So the output of the example string would be...
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo
This may seem like an odd question but I was wondering if there was a way to use javascript to dynamically inter space characters in a string with other characters.
I'm trying to write a function that takes a word and adds a space between each letter e.g space becomes s p a c e. I have written below but when I call the function it says the argument is not defined.
Code: function insertSpaces(string){ var currentCharacter; var resultString; resultString = '' //a line to loop through each charcther in the string agument for (var position = 0; position < string.length; position = position + 1){ // set current characther as the first charcter in the string and add a space currentCharacter = (string.charAt(position) + ' ') //store the currentcharcter and add followng characthers resultString = currentCharacter + resultString } return resultString }
With the code I had to acknowledge nothing had been inserted,(that is, still spaces, it was working. When I added the code to only accept alpha chars etc., I inserted numbers, nothing worked, with no error message. Would you, or can I send the whole code through for the form. I noticed that the form tags had been changed so I altered them as well according to your message.
I need a JS validation code for validating numbers such that,Empty space and characters(including + and -) shouldn't be allowed,there should be only one decimal point,spaces and characters between numbers also shouldn't be permitted.
I've been messing with this code for about a couple of hours, and I did everything down to the wire..yet still I am unable to get it to work. When I input the numbers, and click off to the side nothing appears down at the final textarea of the form which is suppose to show the average.I've tried just about everything, sadly all I have to go by is other example codes, and the very intricate instructions which states I must pass the values to the calcAvg() to the second function of performCalc(), which I did, and then I assigned the var calcResult another value. From there I did the return..and after that I'm rather loss as to what to do next to get this code to work, any tips?

I've been banging my head against this extremely frustrating bug but I finally managed to get an isolated test case. Call .animate() on two different elements one after the other and give the second one a "complete" callback. In the callback function call .stop() on the first element, the one with no callback.
The callback function should only fire once (when the second element's animation completes) but instead it fires twice. It only occurs when the animations are started in that order and stop() is called inside the callback.[URL]...
The bit of code in bold in the code below is giving me this error in IE: Error: Webpage error details User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) ; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; Tablet PC 2.0; InfoPath.2; OfficeLiveConnector.1.4; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; OfficeLivePatch.1.3; MSN OptimizedIE8;ENGB)Timestamp: Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:07:11 UTC Message: HTML Parsing Error: Unable to modify the parent container element before the child element is closed (KB927917)

and the following javascript code:
function addPrivate() { var root = document.getElementById('registration'); var label1 = document.getElementById('label'); label1.appendChild(document.createTextNode('First Name: '));
I developed a Grid that sometimes resides within a table. The Grid is created with the DOM and inserted in its parent element. Problem is that IE returns offsetWidth/offsetHeight 0 when you check its offsetWidth.
For example, the following code will return 0, while Firefox returns its correct width.
Code: <table border="1"> <tr> <td id="myCell"> Some text goes here... <script type="text/javascript"> alert(document.getElementById("myCell").offsetWidth); </script> </td> </tr> </table>
I read somewhere that IE renders the table once it has read the entire table, so my guess is that offsetWidth returns 0 because the table is not yet rendered and its not part of the DOM?
Anyway, if anybody would know how to avoid this it would be great. This problem does not appear inside a DIV, but in this very case it must be inside a table...

I understand that if I have an element in my document tree, I can use getComputedStyle() to determine its width based on CSS styles.
I want to dynamically create some elements to populate a given div, but I want the size of these elements to be controllable via CSS. When dynamically populating the div, I need to determine how many elements will fit. Currently, I have to add an element to the div first so its size will be calculated, then I can base my calculations off of that. However, this seems like not a great way to do ti.
Is there some way to ask for the size of an element to be calculated as if it were part of the document tree? That way, I could make my changes all at once.
Below is a script i found that would countdown the characters in a form element. I have a form that comes "pre-populated" with text. Can this script be modifed such that the counter would be initiated with the length of the text area in question?
Code:
function CountLeft(field, count, max) { if (field.value.length > max)
I have reimplemented the non-standard <marquee> element (in a very simplified fashion), moving around a DIV using offsetParent and offsetWidth.
It works fine in Mozilla (1.7.5) and Safari (1.2.4), but fails miserably in IE6/Win : the content scrolls off screen to the right hand side, although it should be going to the left.....
So I've just been getting into jquery, been reading some tutorials and I've found myself very confused to do with event delegation/rebinding Basically: User clicks "Show Users" result is retrieved using jquery and is a HTML forms and placed into <div id="listusers"></div> Then when they click the submit button jquerys unable to catch the onclick event I think because it's an added element, so how would I go about this?
When use text/html as header for my page the method element.offsetWIdth/Height work as usually and return the real width/height of an element, but when I use XML as type (which is necessary in modern browsers to use strict XHTML) the function returns just 0.
Can somebody help me, it's very important. The prototype function Element.getDimensions() doesn't work in strict mode.
I love the jquery.transformable.js v0.3 plugin. However, I need to be able to rotate an element programatically, via an input box. Anyone have a way to do this.
I am unsure what is going on with my website? I had flash on it, and I have removed the flash and installed javascript. Everything is installed correctly from what I can see, when I go to the view page button on Dreamweaver the images rotate. When I upload it to my server they stop rotating.I have download all of the files needed for this to work, and have added them all to my server. Here is a copy of the coding.
