The JQuery code:
if ($(window).width() < 1000) {
alert("width is less than 1000");
}
Only returns the window width value when the page is loaded. If the user's window started out being greater than 1000 and the shrunk the window width so that it was lower than 1000, the above code would not run. How do I get a constant check for the width of the window to account for this scenario.
You listen to window resize event (as well as the load event):
$(window).on("load resize", function() {
console.log($(this).width());
});
Note that the resize event fires constantly while the user is dragging the window. If you add complex logic in the event handler you might experience sluggish performance. It would be nice to wrap your code inside a debounce function... a function that fires few milliseconds after the user is finished resizing the window.

I have this doubt, I have a menu in which I run a javascript code or another depending on whether its width is greater or less than its height, works me well the first time the screen resolution is detected, but if there is a change of resolution or a change of orientation does not detect it, and despite for example of having changed to portrait orientation still executing the landscape orientation code. Is there any way to solve this? regards
You could use an eventlistener and listen on the resize event.
window.addEventListener('resize', () => {
// function body
});
But I think this is rather a styling issue and you should consider to use a different approach.
Here is an extention of #mstruebing 's answer :
function resisePageMobile(){
if (window.innerWidth <= 696) { //Detect mobile
aside.classList.remove('pc-stuff');
aside.classList.add('mobile-stuff');
}else{ //Detect other higher resolution screens
aside.classList.remove('mobile-stuff');
aside.classList.add('pc-stuff');
}
}
resisePageMobile();//run once on page load
//then attach to the event listener
window.addEventListener('resize',resisePageMobile);
Running this function once at the start of the page is important because the resize event will not trigger until the window is getting resized so we must initialize page at the start !

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);
hope you can help
My current project requires me to recall a set of functions on window resize so that I can keep the responsive nature correct. However the code I am using is rather twitchy as it calls the functions even if the window is resized by 1px.
I am relatively new to jQuery but learning more and more every day, but this is something I'm struggling to find a way to do.
In an ideal world I would like to call the functions when the window has been resized over a breaking point at anytime, for example:
say the breaking point is 500px, the initial load size is 400px the user resizes to 600px, so over the threshold so call the functions again.
It would also need to work in reverse... so window (or load) size 600px, breaking point 500px, resize to 400px call functions.
Here's the code I'm currently:
var windowWidth = $(window).width();
var resizing = !1;
$(window).resize(function(a) {
!1 !== resizing && clearTimeout(resizing);
resizing = setTimeout(doResize, 200);
});
function doResize() {
call_these_functions();
}
Cheers for the help guys
Thanks for the reply Zze
I am using something similar to what you've put, but I have it based within the start of my functions to filter what each thing does based on the window size. My problem is that these are getting called far too often and causing issues / twitchy behaviour.
For example I'm having issues on a tablet I'm testing on, when you scroll down, the scrollbar that appears on the right seems to trigger the window resize... causing functions to be called again that automatically accordion up or .hide() elements to their initial loaded state.
So my thinking is if I can test it's actually broken a set threshold rather than just what size the window is then it will be far more reliable.
There are some really handy jQuery functions available and it looks like you are very close to cracking this yourself. Hope this helps though.
$(window).resize(ResizeCode); // called on window resize
$(document).ready(function(e) { ResizeCode(); }); // called once document is ready to resize content immediatly
function ResizeCode()
{
if ($(window).width() < 500){
//insertCode
}
else if($(window).width() >= 500){
//insertCode
}
}
Update
If we are looking to 'restrict' the call time of this function, then you could add an interval which updates a bool every time it ticks, and then check this bool in the previous code:
var ready = true;
setInterval(function(){ready = true;}, 3000);
function ResizeCode()
{
if (ready)
{
// run code
ready = false;
}
}
But i would suggest storing the width and height of the window in a var and then comparing the current window with the var when the window is resized, that way you can tell if the window has actually been resized over 'x' amount or if it is that weird bug you've found.
Looks like i've found a solution that's going to do what i need with a little work (fingers crossed as i'm currently working on it), from http://xoxco.com/projects/code/breakpoints/

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.
