Change height of element on resize

Hello guys I'm trying to change height of my element dynamically.
These are my variables.
var windowWidth = 1440;
var currentWidth = $(window).width();
var elementHeight = $('#line4').height();
Now what I want is when difference between window width and current width is lower then 6 I want to change height of my element. I want to do this every time when (windowWidth - currentWidth)<6. So every time when window resizes and it's lower then 6 I want to change height of element by minus 14px. This is what I've tried.
$( window ).bind("resize", function(){
if((windowWidth - currentWidth)<6) {
$("#line4").css('height', elementHeight-14);
}
});
It does not work and I don't know what I'm missing. Also follow up question can I change other CSS properties this way. For this particular problem I will also need to change css top property in the same way, because I have some div with absolute position.

You need to measure the current width of the window on every resize event, since it's changing too.
var windowWidth = 1440;
var currentWidth = $(window).width();
var elementHeight = $('#line4').height();
$( window ).bind("resize", function(){
currentWidth = $(window).width()
if((windowWidth - currentWidth)<6) {
$("#line4").css('height', elementHeight-14);
}
});

You need to get windowWidth each time resize event called
And you should add debounce into resize event for better performance.
I often do like this, maybe you can search any better way:
var resizeTimer;
$(window).on('resize', function(e) {
clearTimeout(resizeTimer);
resizeTimer = setTimeout(function() {
// Run code here, resizing has "stopped"
currentWidth = $(window).width()
if((windowWidth - currentWidth)<6) {
$("#line4").css('height', elementHeight-14);
}
}, 250);
});
and I created this to test, you can try it. Btw i increase from 6 to 600 to check easier :D

jQuery resizing code causing perpetual resize event in IE7

This is a bit of JavaScript (jQuery) I wrote that shrinks an element to be as high as possible while still keeping the entire page above the fold. The way it works is essentially "calculate the height difference between the document and the window, and make the element smaller by that much". (see below.)
This works fine as far as I can tell — except that unfortunately I still need IE7 support, and the behavior in that browser is kind of wonky. Specifically, calling my function seems to fire another resize event, causing a kind of feedback loop.
IE7 is apparently the only browser this happens in, and I haven't yet figured out why it happens. I've already tried making the target height smaller to make sure nothing goes out of bounds, but the result is the same.
What's the best way to make my code not fire the resize event in IE7?
function stretchToBottom($element) {
(window.onresize = function () {
// temporarily reset the element's height so $(document).height() yields the right value
$element.css({maxHeight: ''});
var heightDiff = $(document).height() - $(window).height();
if (heightDiff <= 0) {
return;
}
var initialHeight = $element[0].scrollHeight;
var minHeight = 200;
var targetHeight = initialHeight - heightDiff;
var height = Math.max(targetHeight, minHeight);
$element.css({maxHeight: height + 'px'});
})();
}

wrap your code with:
<!--[if !IE7]>-->
//NONE IE code comes here
<!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE7]>
//ONLY IE7 code comes here
<![endif]-->

I just discovered this question which describes the exact same problem I have. The top two answers offered a working solution: store the current window dimensions and process the event listener only when they have actually changed.
For the record, here's the working code I currently have. I changed the function name to be more accurate and moved the "add event listener" part to outside the function.
function shrinkToFit($element) {
$element.css({maxHeight: ''});
var heightDiff = $(document).height() - $(window).height();
if (heightDiff <= 0) {
return;
}
var initialHeight = $element[0].scrollHeight;
var minHeight = 200;
var targetHeight = initialHeight - heightDiff;
var height = Math.max(targetHeight, minHeight);
$element.css({maxHeight: height + 'px'});
}
var lastWindowWidth = $(window).width();
var lastWindowHeight = $(window).height();
$(window).on('resize', function () {
if (lastWindowWidth !== $(window).width() || lastWindowHeight !== $(window).height()) {
shrinkToFit($tableContainer);
lastWindowWidth = $(window).width();
lastWindowHeight = $(window).height();
}
});

Get constant browser height and width

I was wondering how I could constantly get the current browser's height and width. Right now, I am using jQuery and have something like this:
var height = window.innerHeight;
var width = window.innerWidth;
This does initially work as it gets the screen when the page is loaded up. However, when the user changes the screen width/height manually, I can't seem to get the current dimensions and the page starts faulting with errors. How should I be checking the dimensions at all times? I've tried googling the answer but I can't seem to find anything applicable, though I'm sure many others have had the same issue (I don't think I'm searching up the right keywords!). Please let me know what I can do!! Thanks!

Use a window.onresize function as well as a window.onload handler to update the width and height variables.
(Resizeable Demo)
var width,height;
window.onresize = window.onload = function() {
width = this.innerWidth;
height = this.innerHeight;
document.body.innerHTML = width + 'x' + height; // For demo purposes
}
Using jQuery objects it would look like this.
(Resizeable Demo)
var width,height;
$(window).on('load resize', function() {
width = this.innerWidth; // `this` points to the DOM object, not the jQuery object
height = this.innerHeight;
document.body.innerHTML = width + 'x' + height; // For demo purposes
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Try this:
$(window).on("resize",function(){
console.log($(this).height() + " " + $(this).width());
});
fiddle

Try this
var width = window.outerWidth;
var height = window.outerHeight;
To resize the current window, use
window.resizeTo(width, height);
You can trigger the resize function using:
$( window ).resize(function() {
//....
});
Hope it helps you

You can use this to detect a change in screen size:
$(window).resize(function() {
height = window.innerHeight;
width = window.innerWidth;
//other code you wish to run on screen size change;
});
This assumes that height and width were declared in a scope that the function has access to. Otherwise make sure to place var before each variable.

Add pixels to existing CSS element with Javascript

here is my trouble.
I'm using a plugin for a lightbox. For some reason, one of the divs is 28px too short. I've looked all over for a solution for this, but nobody seems to be having the same problem.
The solution I've come up with is to find that element (which I have) and create a javascript snippet that will add "28" to the existing number. The height and width is being calculated directly on the div, not in an element in a stylesheet.
Example:
<div id="colorbox" class="" style="padding-bottom: 57px; padding-right: 28px; position: absolute; width: 892px; height: 602px; top: 2234px; left: 500px;">
I want the Javascript code to add 28 pixels to the width and 55px to the height.
How would I go about doing this?
I would like to say that I'm not looking for just an answer; if you could explain it to me, that would be great. Thanks so much, guys!
Edit: this is how I called the JQuery
Also, this is where you can see the page with the gallery: http://olsencustomhomes.com.previewdns.com/designs/verona-2/#gallery
EDIT FOR KRIS:
Is this the right code? It's in my header
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
function changeSize(){
var colorbox = $("#colorbox");
var initWidth = $("#colorbox").outerWidth(); // get colorbox width
var initHeight = $("#colorbox").outerHeight(); // get colorbox height
var newWidth = 28; // set your desired width
var newHeight = 55; // set your desired height
var height = initHeight + newHeight; // add heights together
var width = initWidth + newWidth; // add widths together
colorbox.css({"height" : height, "width": width});
}
$(document).ajaxStop(function() {
changeSize();
});
});
</script>

Pretty straightforward application of jQuery, but I commented it up for you anyway:
//select the box element using jQuery
var box = $('#colorbox');
//get the current width and height
var curWidth = box.width();
var curHeight = box.height();
//set the width and height with modified values
box.width(curWidth + 28);
box.height(curHeight + 55);
fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/579s2/

If you want to add height and width dynamically. Something like this should work:
function changeSize(){
var colorbox = $("#colorbox");
var initWidth = $("#colorbox").outerWidth(); // get colorbox width
var initHeight = $("#colorbox").outerHeight(); // get colorbox height
var newWidth = 28; // set your desired width
var newHeight = 55; // set your desired height
var height = initHeight + newHeight; // add heights together
var width = initWidth + newWidth; // add widths together
colorbox.css({"height" : height, "width": width});
}changeSize();
Also if you want to insure your code is happens after the colorbox opens you could use .ajaxStop(); Also note, outerWidht() and outerHeight() will get colorbox width plus the padding and borders.
To fire function after ajax events are finished:
$(document).ajaxStop(function() {
changeSize();
});
Update:
Okay, it looks the function fires initially. You can see width is null because the colorbox has not opened. What you want to do is fire the function after the colorbox opens. That is where ajaxStop() would come into play. But it might actually be better to use the colorbox callback function:
But not after the colorbox opens. So try doing the ajaxStop() approach. Also note, if you do this you will need to remove changeSize(); after function changeSize() For example:
$(document).ready(function() {
function changeSize(){
// function stuff
}
$(document).ajaxStop(function() {
changeSize();
});
});
Or, Colorbox OnComplete:
$(".selector").colorbox({
onComplete:function(){
changeSize();
}
});
Update 2:
I am not sure where you are calling colorbox exactly. But I see you have this: Found here
jQuery(function($){
$('#wpsimplegallery a').colorbox({
maxWidth: '85%',
maxHeight: '85%'
});
});
So try:
jQuery(function($){
$('#wpsimplegallery a').colorbox({
maxWidth: '85%',
maxHeight: '85%',
onComplete:function(){
changeSize();
}
});
});

Jquery .height() not working until resize of window

I'm using this code to resize a div on my page:
function sizeContent() {
var newHeight = ($("html").height() - $(".header").height() -3) + "px";
$(".content").height(newHeight);
}
I am triggering this using:
$(window).resize(sizeContent());
But I also call it inside
$(document).ready(sizeContent());
to set all the heights properly.
If i resize the browser window by dragging at its borders it works great.
But the initial call does not seem to have any effect. Putting an alert inside the sizeContent function I can see that it is being called at page ready, and is setting the right height, but nothing is changed on the page.
It's as if the browser does not recognize that it needs to redraw anything unless the window itself is changed.
Solved:
In the end it was not the javascript that was the problem, using div's with display:table and display:table-row was causing it. Removed these from the css and everything worked.

// If you put your code at the bottom of the page to avoid needing`$(document).ready`, it gets even simpler:
$(window).on('resize', function () {
var newheight = ($(window).height() - $('.header').height() - 3);
$(".content").css("height", newheight);
}).trigger('resize');
// Another way to do that same thing
$(document).ready(sizeContent);
$(window).on('resize', sizeContent);
function sizeContent() {
var newheight = ($(window).height() - $('.header').height() - 3);
$(".content").css("height", newheight);
}
// Another technique is to`.trigger()`one event inside the other:
$(window).on('resize', function () {
var newheight = ($(window).height() - $('.header').height() - 3);
$(".content").css("height", newheight);
});
$(document).ready(function () {
$(window).trigger('resize');
});

Replace
$(".content").css({height:newHeight}) //replace this
with
(".content").height(newHeight);

Use below code:
function sizeContent() {
var newHeight = ($(window).height() - $(".header").css('height')-3) ;
$(".content").css('height',newHeight);
}
