Auto scaling text to fit within a div - javascript

Hello there I have an application that shows data in a grid fashion here is one of the "blocks" out of the grid below. Within the Divs that fill out data from a JSON file and fills the divs.
The data is limited to 4 characters (a number between 0 and 9999) for all the items. However when there is 1 character in there it looks too small because i have to keep the font size fairly small so when there is more than 1000 it doesn't overflow.
My question is what would be the best way to automatically adjust the font size for each div independently so that it always fit's at a maximum size
<div class="box">
<div class="Top">ZW01025</div>
<div id="ZW01025" class="Midbox">
</div>
<div id="ZW01025b" class="Midbox">
</div>
<div id ="ZW01025C" class="BottomboxPercent">
</div>
<div id ="ZW01025D" class="BottomboxPercent">
</div>
<div id ="ZW01025p" class="Bottombox">
</div>
</div>
He is a fiddle of the full thing, it doesn't really fit in Js fiddle well http://jsfiddle.net/RYU54/3/

If you are ok with using a JavaScript solution I would check out flowtype.js
http://simplefocus.com/flowtype/

Add font size in the .Top css class, lik this:
.Top{
height: 20%;
width: 90%;
margin: 1px auto;
background-color: #596163;
text-align: center;
color: white;
font-size: 30px; /* added */
font-size: 3.5vw; /* added */
...
}

I made a script to automatically scale text to fit the surrounding div, it should work in your case:

html5 vertically aligning 3 Divs even-spaced

the right Div on my html-page contains only some rows of thumnails - created dynamically in javascript - while the left Div contains 3 Sub-Divs (inner Divs) arranged vertically (also dynamically created on receiving my query-result from my webService)
In order to make it look balanced I want the
left Div to automatically adjust to the same height
as the right one (which holds the dynamically inserted thumbnails).
The 3 vertical aligned Sub-Divs in the left Div should behave like this:
Div2 with the larger Image should be vertically centered
Div1 with the header text should be vertically centered in the space above Div2
Div3 with the title text should be vertically centered in the space below Div2
.
question:
is this possible with css ?
- i.e. without calculation of the heights on dynamic creation in javascript
.
if this is possible with css
then, please, give me some hints
about which float, display, align, margin (and similar) settings
I could try for the left Container Div and for its 3 inner Divs.
I do not need to get a sample or a solution resp.
but I need some hints in plain words, some ideas
that I could try out,
and some considerations (tipps) which I should obey.
many thanks in advance.
Flexbox can do what you need:
jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/ornx7oar/
.main {
display: flex;
}
.left-panel {
padding: 5px; margin-right: 5px;
background-color: green;
/*width: 30%;*/
flex: 0 0 30%; /* don't grow or shrink based on contents, 30% width (put auto if you prefer to use the width property) */
display: flex;
flex-direction: column; /* align vertically */
justify-content: space-around; /* center vertically */
}
.right-panel {}
.thumb {height: 70px; width: 150px; border: 1px solid; display: inline-block;}
* { box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0; }
<div class="main">
<div class="left-panel">
<div>first</div>
<div>second</div>
<div>third</div>
</div>
<div class="right-panel">
<div class="thumb"></div>
<div class="thumb"></div>
<div class="thumb"></div>
<div class="thumb"></div>
<div class="thumb"></div>
<div class="thumb"></div>
<div class="thumb"></div>
<div class="thumb"></div>
</div>
</div>
I would add the same class to all three divs. In your css, add margin: 10px auto; Depending on the current code you might need to add position: relative to this class as well.
You can tweak the 10px part depending on how far apart you want them. The auto centers the divs to its parent.
As far as changing the order look at w3 schools documentation on order

- CSS bootstrap, divs skip row how get neatly in a row dispite height difference -

The problem occurred on other projects, but then I made all the divs the same size. I made a print screen of my problem.
As you can see the the third div is a little longer then the others (and yes I want to keep this). My css or bootstrap wants to skip a row.
html
<div ng-repeat="work in myWork" class="col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-xs-12" id="myWorkHolders">
css
#myWorkHolders{
margin: 0px;
display: inline-table;
padding: 0px;
border: solid 1px #F4F4F4;
}
Problem
DIVS skip a row when the div above is not the same size as the others.
Question
what Css terms can I use so the divs will display under each other despite different sizes.
you can add an extra class with min-height to every div, just match the height of ur largest div and put that into css class.
<style>
.yourclass {
min-height:Xpx; //replace X with the height of your largest div.
}
</style>
and now just put this class into every div as:
<div class="col-md-3 yourclass">.col-md-3</div>
I have run into this problem before; I'm curious what other people say. Not sure if this is the best solution, but what I did that worked for me was assign a min-height to those divs. the min-height you assign will depend on the height of your largest div.
so:
#myWorkHolders{
margin: 0px;
display: inline-table;
padding: 0px;
border: solid 1px #F4F4F4;
/* the exact height specified will have to be experimented with */
min-height: 250px;
}
With bootstrap you need to use the row class to make sure the columns layout correctly no matter the height a particular column.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">.col-md-3</div>
<div class="col-md-3">.col-md-3</div>
<div class="col-md-3">.col-md-3</div>
<div class="col-md-3">.col-md-3</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">.col-md-3</div>
<div class="col-md-3">.col-md-3</div>
<div class="col-md-3">.col-md-3</div>
<div class="col-md-3">.col-md-3</div>
</div>
So when creating your loop you need to think about how to add in the row container after every fourth column.

Text Overlay on Image Hover - Responsive

I am using this tutorial to create an overlay on my images with text:
http://codepen.io/pdelsignore/pen/uqenH
It works great, however I have a responsive website and if I try to enter a % as the width / height of the '.box' the image disappears. It appears it can only be a fixed with (i.e. px) which obviously doesn't scale.
.box {
cursor: pointer;
height: 250px;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
width: 400px;
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
}
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Try giving min-width and min-height a try.
min-width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
In live project usually we use any responsive framework. Like bootstrap or foundation. So I think you could ignore as framework will handle this properly. No need to use any % to make it responsive. For Bootstrap we use
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="box">
<img src="http://files.room1design.com/oldcity.jpg"/>
<div class="overbox">
<div class="title overtext">
Walk This Way
</div>
<div class="tagline overtext">
Follow the path of stone, a road towards an ancient past
</div>
</div>
</div> <!-- End box -->
</div> <!-- End Col-4 -->
</div> <!-- End row -->
I believe the dimensions of .box as a percentage would be based on the height of the parent. since no height is specified on the body it has no frame of reference. try adding the following to get percentages working on .box.
html, body {
height:100%;
}
here is an updated codepen with a few other changes to illustrate the use of percentages after giving your body dimension.

How to fit a list of images in an HTML div to form a 2D grid?

EDIT: Problem fixed. See my own answer for details. Will mark it as the answer in 2 days when SO lets me.
I am populating a div with a list of square images using Knockout. The div is currently of fixed width and height, though will eventually be resizeable. I would like the images to fill up the div row by row. So when image n reaches the boundaries of the div's width, image n+1 is wrapped around to the next row. Currently, the images flow over the boundaries of the div to fill the entire window.
The current markup is as follows:
<div data-bind="foreach: images" width="500" height="500">
<img data-bind="attr: { src: fileName }">
</div>
I've played around with float and overflow with no success so far. I've also tried putting the images in their own divs. The images exhibit the wrapping behaviour I want in the whole window to form a grid, just not in the div I've put them in.
How do I make the images stay inside the div while getting the grid that I want? Is this possible with HTML/CSS alone or does it require some Javascript?
As Daniel Weiner said in his comment - floats are the way to go. Add in display : inline-block; to keep each element aligned. Example:
#container {
width: 100%;
background-color: black;
display: inline-block;
}
.block {
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
background-color: #fff;
margin: 10px;
float: left;
}
<div id=container>
<div class="block">1</div>
<div class="block">2</div>
<div class="block">3</div>
<div class="block">4</div>
<div class="block">5</div>
<div class="block">6</div>
<div class="block">7</div>
<div class="block">8</div>
</div>
My problem was that I was not specifying the length units for my containing div. In my original markup, I was using the HTML attribute width="500". Changing this to inline CSS and specifying the length unit solved the problem, keeping my 2D grid inside the div: style="width: 500px"
Besides this, as suggested by wahwahwah, the following style was required for a containing div for each image: float: left;
Inlining the CSS, the end result is:
<div data-bind="foreach: images" style="width: 500px">
<div style="float: left;">
<img data-bind="attr: { src: fileName }">
</div>
</div>

CSS grid of squares laid out in columns not rows

I currently have a grid made out of square DIVs (200px x 200px each).
I have started in the top left hand corner and floated each one left so that the 2nd one is to the right of the first and the the third to the right of that and so on. When it runs out of horizontal space in it's container the next square automatically starts a new row, obviously.
This is great if you want the grid to keep getting longer vertically each time a row fills up, but I want mine to be three squares high and grow to the right hand side, so the first square goes in the top left, the 2nd underneath it, the third underneath that, then (because the container is 600px high) the 4th square should start a new column and go to the right of the first.
Is it possible to achieve this for an unspecified number of squares so it just keeps growing into new columns without resorting to javascript?
IE6 support is not necessary.
Any help would really be appreciated.
You can try CSS 3's multi columns http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/ , http://www.css3.info/preview/multi-column-layout/
Using properties like
-moz-column-width: 5em;
-webkit-column-width: 5em;
-moz-column-gap: 1em;
-webkit-column-gap: 1em;
http://jsfiddle.net/Txgnk/1/
Looks like IE 10 is the first IE to support it http://caniuse.com/multicolumn
Try this,
<style>
.parent {
height:600px;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.child {
width: 200px;
height: 600px;
display:inline-block;
}
.grand-child {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid;
}
</style>
<div class="parent">
<div class="child">
<div class="grand-child"></div>
<div class="grand-child"></div>
<div class="grand-child"></div>
</div>
<div class="child">
<div class="grand-child"></div>
<div class="grand-child"></div>
<div class="grand-child"></div>
</div>
...
...
</div>
