For example:
HTML
<div><p>A lot of text that goes off the page so you have to scroll down.........</p></div>
JavaScript
$(window).resize(function(){
$("div").append("<p>appended</p>");
});
This works and appends the paragraph as expected on resize, but it is also appended when I scroll down. This means when I get to the end of the original text there is about 20 appended paragraphs.
This is only happening on mobile devices (so far I've checked Chrome, Safari and Firefox), not on desktop browsers.
Is there a way to stop this happening and have the paragraph appended only when the window (that you see) is resized?
Or maybe only have the code within the resize execute every so often?
Thanks.
The problem with mobile devices is that they have the browser toolbars that are hidden when you scroll and this leads to screen change (activates the resize event) and this means that you have to make some validations to your code and detect why was the resize event fired.
One way I have used is by saving the window width and checking if the correct window width is the same or changed. If it changes then it means that the append should happen (in your case).
var dwidth = $(window).width();
$(window).resize(function(){
var wwidth = $(window).width();
if(dwidth!==wwidth){
dwidth = $(window).width();
console.log('Width changed');
}
});

I'm making a 2 block web page, 1 needs to be resizable using the resizable() function of jquery. when one is resized, the second block needs to change its width as well.
I use the following jquery code :
$(document).ready(function(){
$(window).bind('resize', function(){
var left_width = $(".left").width();
var right_width = $(".middle").width() - left_width;
$(".right").width(right_width);
});
$(".left").resizable();
});
the problem is, for some reason $(window).width() keeps changing and i cant assign the width to the right block correctly
Example
the problem
this is what comes up in the console when i log $(window).width() ,
sometimes its 1166 , sometime 1183.
The scroll bar is being displayed for a fraction of a second while resizing, slightly reducing the size of your window.
This seems to sometimes clash with when you calculate the new width of the second area, which reduces the width slightly.
Use Jquery .css.
$(document).ready(function(){
$(window).bind('resize', function(){
var left_width = $(".left").width();
var right_width = $(".middle").width() - left_width;
console.log(right_width);
console.log(left_width);
console.log('window ' + $(".middle").width());
$(".right").css("width",right_width+"px");
});
$(".left").resizable();
});
[EDIT] I misunderstood the problem but the difference is about right scroll of browser
The window size changing is due to the scrollbar appearing on the right of the browser window as $(window).width() calculates the size of the viewing area. My recommendation would be to change the overflow of the body to hidden whilst you are resizing the object. It seems to work on your Fiddle at least.
The website: http://negativgraffiti.hu/uj/
If you jumps from one page to another, every page has a different height, but they are all in one div, just they are not visible all the time.
I'm resizing the parent div everytime to the current page's height (not the full code, just a sample):
var magassag = jQuery("#post-5");
var egymagas = jQuery(".elsofo").height();
if (i == 1) {
magassag.animate({
height: egymagas
}, 100 );
}
it's working fine, but when i test it on tablet/mobile the height is ruins when i change the orientation, and i don't know why.
Use $(window).on('resize', fn) to detect window resizing.
$(window).on('resize', function() {
// re-animate the height for the current page
});
Although this works fine for tablet resizing, it will be very inefficient for desktop users who are resizing the window with their mouse. It is good to throttle the resize callback for that reason.
// Use `throttle` from any of the various throttle libraries available.
$(window).on('resize', throttle(function() {
// re-animate the height for the current page
}));
I have a function responsive that changes behaviour of certain elements on my website, including hiding popups etc. I call it in 2 cases:
$(document).ready(responsive);
$(window).resize(responsive);
The problem occurs on android chrome, as the virtual keyboard actually changes the height of the screen, and triggers responsive function, which closes my popups (some of them have text fields, making it impossible to type).
How can I prevent this from happening? I read somewhere a good point that android virtual keyboard only changes height of the screen, not a width, so I assume it would be a good idea to compare width before and after resize. So I created this function to compare the widths before and after and run resize() if width is different, but it doesn't work as expected, and console logs show different document widths even though I only changed the height of the screen (using chrome developer tools).
Any idea what went wrong or how can I prevent function responsive being launched on height change?
function resizeWidth() {
var existingWidth = $(document).width();
$(window).resize(function() {
var newWidth = $(document).width();
if (existingWidth != newWidth) {
$(window).resize(responsive);
console.log(existingWidth);
console.log(newWidth);
};
});
};
$(window).resize(resizeWidth);
Firstly you are attaching a handler to the resize event multiple times. One on load, then another every time the resize happens and resizeWidth is called. You should remove the handler within that function. Also, I guess you just want to call the responsive() function, not attach yet another resize handler when the width changes.
The main issue you have is that the scope of existingWidth is not low enough for it to be seen over multiple events. You could make it global, although that is generally considered bad practice. Instead you could use a data attribute, like this:
function resizeWidth() {
var existingWidth = $(document).data('resize-width');
var newWidth = $(document).width();
if (existingWidth != newWidth) {
responsive();
$(document).data('resize-width', newWidth);
};
};
$(window).resize(resizeWidth);
i know that you with $(window).width() can get the size of the web browser.
i want to detect when the user change the size of his web browser so i could readjust the columns width. is there a way to automatically detect this or do i have to use setTimeinterval to loop and see if it has changed?
Try the resize event
$(window).resize(function() {
console.log('window was resized');
});
Writing this down cause somehow none of these answers give the modern best-practices way of doing this:
window.addEventListener("resize", function(event) {
console.log(document.body.clientWidth + ' wide by ' + document.body.clientHeight+' high');
})
The JavaScript event is named window.onresize.
The JQuery binding is named .resize()
In MDN they give a really good Javascript standalone code:
window.onresize = resize;
function resize()
{
alert("resize event detected!");
}
If you need just this kind of functionality I would recommend to go for it.
You might want to use debounce :
https://davidwalsh.name/javascript-debounce-function
Otherwise the
window.addEventListener("resize")
Will fire the whole time as the window resize is in progress.
Which will tax your CPU overhead.
Something to keep in mind- in IE, at least, resize events bubble, and positioned elements and the document body can fire independent resize events.
Also, IE fires a continuous stream of 'resize' events when the window or element is resized by dragging. The other browsers wait for the mouseup to fire.
IE is a big enough player that it is useful to have an intermediate handler that fields resize events- even if you branch only IE clients to it.
The ie handler sets a short timeout(100-200 msec)before calling the 'real' resize handler. If the same function is called again before the timeout, it is either a bubblng event or the window is being dragged to a new size, so clear the timeout and set it again.
Here's a little piece of code I put together for the same thing.
(function () {
var width = window.innerWidth;
window.addEventListener('resize', function () {
if (window.innerWidth !== width) {
window.location.reload(true);
}
});
})();
I use
media="only screen and (min-width: 750px)" href="... css file for wide windows"
media="only screen and (max-width: 751px)" href="...css file for mobiles"
When I move the right windows border left and right to increase and decrease my window size, my web browser will automatically switch from the wide window to the mobile. I do not have to include any Javascript code to detect window width. This works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer on both Windows and Macintosh computers.
I am developing a modal dialog as a part of a web application. There is one thing that's been of a puzzle to me. Please watch a movie clip that I just uploded at http://inter.freetzi.com/example/. I feel strongly that I have to accompany my question with a video because this is the case when it's better to see once, than to hear 100 times.
(It could be vertical scrolling, or both vertical and horizontal at the same time. But I am using horizontal scrolling in my example, so watch for it.)
Here's about my question:
Width of the transparent mask affects the width of the page itself. But in Opera, for exemple, every time the window gets resized, the page gets width that is at most close to 'true'. While in IE, once the transparent mask has affected the width, afterwards the page remembers it and stays with it. What is the problem and how to settle it? How to make IE behave the way Opera does?
In my project, I do the following:
//curViewpointW and curViewpointH are current width and height of the viewpoint (current is meant to be the moment of the resize event)
oMask.style.width = curViewpointW + 'px';
oMask.style.height = curViewpointH + 'px';
var pageWH = getPageWH(); //getPageWH() is a function that gets current width and height of the page (with scrolling if there is any)
var curPageW = pageWH[0];
var curPageH = pageWH[1];
if (curPageW > curViewpointW) {
oMask.style.width = curPageW + 'px';
}
if (curPageH > curViewpointH) {
oMask.style.height = curPageH + 'px';
}
But IE ignores that somehow...
P.S. It's jQuery in my example, so many of you may have used its dialog before.
Have you looked into setting an onresize event handler that will adjust your mask dimensions when the window is resized? If you are using Prototype, you can set up such a handler unobtrusively like this:
Event.observe(document.onresize ? document : window, "resize", function() {//dostuff});
