So basically, I am attempting to use jQuery to give my navigation bar (Bootstrap navbar) a 100% width, but in pixels.
Of course, this has to be determined every time the browser/window is resized.
I came up with this, although it is extremely buggy. It uses the starting width of 'nav' as 'navsize', and upon resize of the window, navsize still stays the same.
$(document).on('ready', function () {
$(window).on('resize', function () {
var navsize = $('nav').width();
$('nav').css('width', navsize);
}).trigger('resize');
});
I have also tried var navsize = $('nav').innerWidth(); which was also no good.
The function is definitely being called upon resize since I have tested with console.log()
For all those who are wondering why I am doing this, I am using StickyJS to make my navigation scroll with the page. Although, since it is using 100% width, upon scrolling it becomes much smaller since the nav leaves its container.
This should work
$(document).on('ready', function () {
$(window).on('resize', function () {
$('nav').css('width', 'calc(100% + 1px - 1px)' );
console.log( $('nav').width() );
/// Use following ONLY if you specifically want to set the width in pixel
$('nav').width($('nav').width());
}).trigger('resize');
});
the console.log will have your width in pixel. Means whenever in future you will read the width , it will be in pixel.
calc(100% + 1px - 1px) converts the width and sets in px units, which we can read later on.
Are you sure that $('nav') exists?
I've done some testing using a basic bootstrap page and a slightly change of your code works.
Navigate to this page and open the console inspector.
http://getbootstrap.com/examples/starter-template/
paste the following code and you will see that the .navbar width will be logged on window resize.
$(window).on('resize', function () {
var navsize = $('.navbar').width();
console.log(navsize)
});
Cheers.
It'd be easier with the supporting HTML and CSS, but I will venture a guess based on the behavior alone.
Best Guess
It sounds like one of these options is likely.
you meant to use #nav, .nav, div.nav, etc and don't actually mean to select a "nav" element
your "nav" element is not display inline-block|block, which occurs in some browsers
you are using the "nav" tag in a browser that doesn't support it (IE 8)
your JS library doesn't support the "nav" tag
Alternative
Use JS to relocate your nav into the body (at the appropriate scroll depth) and give your html , body, and nav tags width 100%
Hope that helps.

I'm very unfamiliar and still learning javascript/jQuery and I'm having trouble putting together the syntax to change a secondary navigation bar offset position to stick to a header that adjusts its size when the screen size changes (logo is setup to viewpoint percentage, hence its height varies with screen size).
So far I got the first part of the following script to calculate the header outerHeight and it works on any screen size but only on the first page load (not while resizing in real time).
jQuery(document).ready(function resizeHeader ($){
$('#CPOP-header').each(function(){
$('#CPOP-sticky-sub-menu').css({
'top' : $(this).outerHeight(true) + 'px'});
});
$(function() {
$(window).on('resize',resizeHeader);
alert($('#CPOP-header').outerHeight(true)+'px'); // works on first page load only, will remove later
});
});
However, I want it to "monitor" browser window resize dynamically to avoid browser refresh but I can't figure out how to bind or merge the second part on the same script since I'm not very familiar with javascript/jQuery:
$(function() {
$(window).on('resize',resizeHeader);
alert($('#CPOP-header').outerHeight(true)+'px'); // works on first page load only, will remove later
});
This is for a WordPress/Elementor website, the code will be inserted in an HTML widget.
Any help will be much appreciated!
if anyone is looking for something similar, here it is
const $ = jQuery;
function resizeHeader () {
$('#CPOP-header').each(function(){
$('#CPOP-sticky-sub-menu')
.css({'top' : $(this).outerHeight(true) + 'px'})
});
}
jQuery(document).ready(resizeHeader);
$(window).on('resize',resizeHeader);
Thank you to u/toi80QC at reddit for taking the time and giving a hand!
So I have this jQuery function that adds margin-top to an element based on the height of another element.
I'm trying to have this function trigger again on window resizes. (Preferably 1200px, 991px, 768px, 500px breakpoints)
If there is a good solution that allows the function to trigger with any browser resize, even better. I just need to make sure this wont cause "lag" or "slowness" due to the function triggering 100 times during a resize event for example.
Here is a codepenn with my current function:
http://codepen.io/bruno-gomes/pen/vgRbBB
Code:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
(function() {
var navBarHeight = $('.header').height();
$('.content').css('margin-top', navBarHeight);
})();
});
The idea is that I want the fixed header to not cover the content, and the size of the header will vary depending on the width of the browser. This becomes an issue when user resizes browser because the function is only triggering once on load.
I have the IIFE setup like that because it's a Joomla site and they don't work properly otherwise by the way.
You can use .resize() for that
Ok seems like this approach solved all my problems ^.^
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
var height = $('.header').height();
resizeHeader(height);
$(window).resize(function() {
var height = $('.header').height();
resizeHeader(height);
});
function resizeHeader(height) {
$('.content').css('margin-top', height);
}
});
I have a .navbar.navbar-inverse.navbar-fixed-top navigation bar that always stays on top of the page. I have given the body a padding of 70 px and this works well with it.
The problem is if I resize the browser, then the nav-bar is no longer nice and neat with a fixed height. Instead it wraps all the items in it, the height of the nav bar becomes more than 70 px and covers parts of the page.
To fix this, I tried using JQuery to check the height of the nav bar and give body more padding, I put this in document.ready()
if ($(".navbar.navbar-inverse.navbar-fixed-top").height() > 100) {
$("html, body").css("padding-top", "150px");
}
However, this solution does not work because the browser is not reloaded when its size shrinks so therefore this check does not happen dynamically. So how do I fix this?
You can use the window resize event listener here. Something like this:
$( window ).resize(function() {
if ($(".navbar.navbar-inverse.navbar-fixed-top").height() > 100) {
$("html, body").css("padding-top", "150px");
}
});
Additionally you could also go the Bootstrap way and collapse and expand the Navbar into a button, depending on screen resolution. The above approach is slightly less than ideal IMO
I have not been able to find an answer that works for me on SO.
Basically I have a div with an image that has fixed positioning. It is responsive and will shrink or grow to whatever the screen size is.
What I want to do is get the height anytime the screen size changes and input it as a positioning value for another div so that it there is no overlapping (due to the fixed positioning).
I can get the height initially but it never changes after the first value when the screen is being resized.
quick demo up here: link
look in console to see height being returned. notice that it doesn't change when browser is resized.
JS
$(function(){
var explore = $('#explore').height();
console.log(explore);
$( window ).on("resize", function() {
console.log(explore);
});
});
I've also tried .css("height") but that didn't fix the issue.
*note the div does not have fixed positioning on this example since it would make the layout more confusing
You are not modifying explore:
Change it as follows:
$(function(){
var explore = $('#explore').css("height");
console.log(explore);
$( window ).on("resize", function() {
explore = $('#explore').css("height");
console.log(explore);
});
});
You need to add a resize listener to the window like so:
function repositionDivOnResize() {
// this is where you'll dynamically reposition your element
}
$(window).on("resize", repositionDivOnResize)
I have an element where I'm using the Twitter Bootstrap Affix plugin. If the window gets vertically resized to the point where it is smaller than the height of the item, I'd like to remove the affix functionality from the element since you wouldn't be able to see all of it in the window.
So far I've tried this in the console just to see if it can be removed, but it doesn't seem to be working.
$("#myElement")
.removeClass("affix affix-top affix-bottom")
.removeData("affix");
$(window)
.off("scroll.affix.data-api, click.affix.data-api");
Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way? How Can I programmatically remove the affix from an element that already had it applied?
I ended up going for a mostly CSS solution, similar to what #Marcin Skórzewski suggested.
This just adds a new class when the height of the window is shorter than the height of the element.
var sizeTimer;
$(window).on("resize", function() {
clearTimeout(sizeTimer);
sizeTimer = setTimeout(function() {
var isWindowTallEnough = $overviewContainer.height() + 20 < $(window).height();
if (isWindowTallEnough) {
$overviewContainer.removeClass("affix-force-top");
} else {
$overviewContainer.addClass("affix-force-top");
}
}, 300);
});
And then in CSS, this class just gets added:
.affix-force-top{
position:absolute !important;
top:auto !important;
bottom:auto !important;
}
EDIT
For bootstrap 3, this seems to be effective:
$(window).off('.affix');
$("#my-element")
.removeClass("affix affix-top affix-bottom")
.removeData("bs.affix");
Deprecated: Answer refers to Twitter Bootstrap v2. Current version is v4.
There are few options to try.
Use function for data-offset-top. Normally, you use the integer value, for number of scrolled pixels to fix the element. According to documentation you can use the JS function, that will calculate the offset dynamically. In this case you can make your function to return different number depending on the conditions of your choice.
Use media query to override affix CSS rule for small window (eg. height 200px or less).
I think, the second variant should be suitable for you. Something like:
#media (max-height: 200px) {
.affix {
position: static;
}
}
If you would provide jsfiddle for your problem others could try to actually solve it, instead of giving just theoretical suggestion, that may or may not work.
PS. Bootstrap's navbar component uses media query for max-width to disable fixed style for small devices. It is good to do that not just because the screen size is to small for navbar, but in mobile devices position: fixed; CSS works really ugly. Take w look at navbar inside the bootstrap-responsive.css file.
Your $(window).off is close, according to #fat (author of bootstrap-affix.js) you can disable the plugin like this:
$(window).off('.affix');
That will disable the affix plugin.
See: https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/issues/5870
On line 1890 of bootstrap is a conditional for whether the default action should be prevented. This allows your to listen for events and if some condition is met, prevent the affix from happening.
line 1890 from bootstrap:
if (e.isDefaultPrevented()) return
Example:
$('someselector')
.affix()
.on(
'affix.bs.affix affix-top.bs.affix affix-bottom.bs.affix'
, function(evt){
if(/* some condition */){
evt.preventDefault();
}
}
);
Even though this was answered, I just wanted to give my solution for this in case someone ran into a similar situation as mine.
I modified the offset top option to a ridiculous number that would never get scrolled to. This made it so I did not have to do $(window).off('.affix'); and disable affix for everything.
$('#element-id').data('bs.affix').options.offset.top = 1000000000;
