How to add a div to poptrox

I wondering if there is a method to add text to a poptrox popup. I know I can use the caption attribute to add caption text but that's not what i want. I want to add a div or text element to the pop up it self so when the user clicks on the image, a pop up shows up to describe an image. Is there any why to do this?
I'm following the poptrox github form, I tried using Iframes and the other sources it allows but noting is working the way i want it

In the HTML markup for the gallery items, add a div with the class "caption" inside the anchor element that links to the full-size image.
<a href="image1.jpg">
<img src="thumb1.jpg">
<div class="caption">Caption for Image 1</div>
</a>
In the jQuery code that initializes the Poptrox plugin, add the caption class to the list of classes that should be cloned when creating the lightbox.
$('.gallery').poptrox({
caption: function($a) { return $a.next('.caption').text(); },
overlayColor: '#2c2c2c',
overlayOpacity: 0.85,
popupCloserText: '',
popupLoaderText: '',
selector: '.thumb > a',
usePopupCaption: true,
usePopupDefaultStyling: false,
usePopupNav: true
});
You can then add CSS to style the caption as you desire.
.caption {
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.7);
bottom: 0;
color: #fff;
padding: 10px;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}

How do you remove CSS style inside a style element?

Example:
<style>
.className {
left: 0;
color: blue;
}
</style>
I want to remove the left: 0; aspect using javascript/jquery or whatever method I have to use to do this. I don't have the option of opening the document to edit or delete. Any Ideas? Note that this class has other styles within it and I just want to remove the left:0; aspect ONLY leaving the rest intact.

An element's style attribute can override its CSS class properties. left: auto will also reset the left property of an element to the default value.
An element's style can be set like this in Javascript:
Element.style.[CSS property] = [value]
<span id="someId">Span</span>
<script>
document.getElementById("someId").style.color = "#aeb";
</script>
Its jQuery equivalent is (for one CSS property):
$([selector]).css([CSS property], [value]);
$('#someId').css("color", "#aeb");
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<span id="someId">Span</span>
For many CSS properties:
$([selector]).css({[CSS property]: [value], [CSS property]: [value]});
$('#someId').css({"color":"red", "font-size":"1.5em", "position":"absolute", "top": "25%", "left": "25%"});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<span id="someId">Span</span>
<style>
.className {
left: 0;
position: absolute;
}
</style>
<span class="className">Span.className</span><br/>
<span class="className">Span.className</span><br/>
<span class="className">Span.className</span><br/>
<span class="className">Span.className</span><br/>
<span class="className">Span.className</span><br/>
<span style="left: 0; position: absolute;">Span with left:0 and position:absolute</span>
<script>
var elems = document.getElementsByClassName("className");
for(let i = 0; i < elems.length; i++){
elems[i].style.left = "50px";
}
</script>
To overwrite all previous set CSS properties of an element, you can use all: initial, setting all CSS properties to its initial value.
<style>
.someClass{
position: fixed;
color: red;
background-color: dodgerblue;
font-size: 3em;
margin: 20px;
}
</style>
<span class="someClass">Span.someClass</span>
<span class="someClass" style="all: initial;">Span.someClass all:initial</span>

left:auto;
Auto will reset the left attribute to the browser's default for the page :)

How to remove Left property when position: absolute?

Using jquery you should be able to simply do this:
$('.className').css({'left': 'auto'});
Or, if the class isn't really all that important anyways, you could just remove it like this:
$('.className').removeClass('className');
You could override it with another value either in CSS, or using the same jQuery thing mentioned in the first part of my answer.

Here are two different approaches.
1. Replace/Remove the class
If that is the only style attribute in that class, you could remove the class from all elements that use it.
Example with jQuery:
$(".className").removeClass("className").addClass("anotherClass");
2. Override the attribute
The default value for left in CSS is auto, so you could override the CSS for all of those elements.
Example with jQuery:
$(".className").css("left", "auto");

Try like this:
$('.className').remove();

Since it has a value, making the value blank will make it so it doesn't count as any value and the css attribute will be skipped/ignored.
Solution:
$('.className').css('left',' ');
If the attribute still gets read as 0 then you will have to apply the !important to the .css(); to override it.

Add image over text using jquery

I'm trying to add an image over some text that I have. This is similar to retailmenot.com's reveal coupon code. When a user clicks on the image the image is removed and reveals the text underneath while simultaneously linking the user to an external url.
The base layer can be as follows:
<div class="base">
<h3>Some text</h3>
</div>
I want to load an image with the following over it when the text is clicked:
<div class="overlay">
<img src="http://example.com/image.jpg"/>
</div>
The height of the base layer with class "base" is variable, so the image has to be resized to fit it. I have a working example where I place the image and then resize it, but this creates issues when javascript may not be enabled as the image fails to be resized and looks messy. I want the script to fall back to just showing the underlying text if javascript is disabled.
How can I add and automatically resize such an overlay on page load using jquery or javascript?

You can do it like this:
$(document).ready(function () {
//Set overlay position and dimension to same as base
$base = $(".base");
$overlay = $(".overlay");
$overlay.offset($base.offset());
$overlay.height($base.outerHeight());
$overlay.width($base.outerWidth());
$overlay.show();
//Hide overlay on click (show hidden text)
$(".overlay").click(function () {
$(this).fadeOut();
});
});
and with css:
.overlay{
/* Hide overlay if no js */
position: absolute;
display: none;
}
Check it out here: JSFiddle

If you can have the overlay in the base, as such:
<div class="base">
<h3>Some text</h3>
<div class="overlay">
<img src="http://example.com/image.jpg"/>
</div>
</div>
You can css this, no need for javascript:
.base{
position: relateive;
}
.overlay{
position: absolute; /* or fixed if scrollbars involved */
display: none;
left: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
/* or replace right and bottom with: */
/* width: 100%;
height: 100%; */
}
You can now use javascript to toggle visibility:
$('.overlay').fadeIn();

Let your html page has this following code
<div class="base">
</div>
Don't place any code about your image in html page. And then in your jQuery code.
var img = '<img src="http://example.com/image.jpg"/>';
var txt = 'Some text';
$(document).ready(function(){
$(this).find('.base').html(txt).show();
$(this).find('.base').click(function(){
if($(this).html() == img)
$(this).html(txt).show();
else
$(this).html(img).show();
});
});
This will solve your issue.

Jquery have a parent div have the same width and height of it's child element

I'm having this problem to solve for weeks now and really need help.
I have this system where a user selects a template with 2 types of areas. One for inserting images and one for inserting text.
Each template may come with numerous areas to insert images and each image area is just a div with it's own dimensions [width px - height px] within a limited area of 800px - 650px.
I will call this div to receive images div.img
Inside that div.img theres an input type="file" and throw jquery.form.js plugin I'm able to insert a new image into it.
I will call the inserted image new.img
This new.img comes wrapped in a div div.newImg because I had to have a button to delete the image on top of the image itself.
I'm using jquery ui draggable and resizable so the div.newImg may be resized and dragged inside of div.img.
Here are the different elements: div.img -> div.newImg -> new.img + button delete
HTML
<div class="child" style="z-index: 70; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 800px; height: 172px; cursor: default; background-color: rgba(254, 202, 64, 0.701961);" alt="reset">
<div class="imgh ui-resizable ui-draggable" alt="reset3" style="height: 100%; width: 204px;">
<img src="###" style="width:inherit; height:inherit; min-width:50px; min-height:50px;" class="img_set">
<div class="close"><i class="icon-remove-sign"></i></div>
</div>
</div>
JQUERY
$('.imgh').resizable({ containment: $(this).closest('.child') });
$('.imgh').draggable({ containment: $(this).closest('.child'), scroll: true, snap: true, snapTolerance: 5 });
This is what I've manage to approach so far but doesn't help me at all
if($('.child').width() > $('.child').height()){
$('.imgh').height('100%');
$('.imgh').width($('.imgh img').width());
}else{
$('.imgh').width('100%');
$('.imgh').height($('.imgh img').height());
}
I've managed to have the img.img_set have the same dimensions as it's parent by having style="width:inherit; height:inherit;".
What I need is a way for the div.imgh to have the same dimensions as it's inner img.img_set. Like a reversed inherit.
UPDATE
This code does what I want but my problem is that everytime I resize it comes back to what I've defined in the initialization:
if($('.child').width() > $('.child').height()){
$('.imgh').height('100%');
$('.imgh').width('auto');
}else{
$('.imgh').width('100%');
$('.imgh').height('auto');
}
if($('.imgh').width() > $('.imgh img').width()){
$('.imgh').width($('.imgh img').width());
}
Is there a way for this to only happen once to each div.imgh?

You could use .bind() to resize it it every time something changes...
$('.imgh').bind('resize', FullWidthHeight); //Note: check the 'resize' event is relevant to imgh
function FullWidthHeight() {
$('.imgh').css('height', img.img_set.height());
$('.imgh').css('width', img.img_set.width());
}

Positioning a "reel" div properly in jQuery when total width is dynamic

I'm writing my own small pager control in Javascript and jQuery and having trouble positioning it properly.
The pager is set to only be a specific width (340px in this case) which allows it to display roughly ten page buttons. If the user has selected a higher page, I'd like the reel to slide to the left and show the selected page in the center. Since the number of pages is set dynamically (I build the pager in js when the page is loaded) and their width is not constant (double-digit page number buttons are wider than single-digit buttons) how can I determine and then set the pager to the correct position?
I was attempting to use the following code:
(where my buttons are labeled "#Nav1", "#Nav2", etc...)
if (currentPage < 7) {
newPos = 0;
}
else {
newPos = $('#Nav' + (currentPage-5)).position().left;
}
$('#reel').animate({left: newPos*-1}, 700);
But the #reel div is wrapping so position().left doesn't return the position I need.
Suggestions?
Here is my HTML/CSS markup:
<style type="text/css">
div#pager div
{
display: inline-block;
}
#navContainer
{
width: 340px;
height: 28px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
#reel
{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
</style>
<div id="pager" class="buttons">
<div id="preButtons"></div>
<div id="navContainer">
<div id="reel">
</div>
</div>
<div id="postButtons"></div>
</div>

You'll need to manually give #reel a width equivalent to the number of items * the width of each item.
A dynamic way to do this is to load in all of the items, place them in a hidden, unbounded div, then set the width of #reel equal to the width of that div.
Try this before your carousel code:
var dummyDiv = $('<div id="dummy" class="buttons" style="position:absolute;display:none"></div>');
dummyDiv.appendTo('body');
dummyDiv.html($('#reel').html());
var reelWidth = dummyDiv.css('width');
$('#reel').css({'width':reelWidth});
This will allow you to dynamically set the width of the #reel div so it doesn't wrap without knowing the exact size of the contents statically.
