How to make height equal width with css.
I have HTML like that :
<div style="width:900px;height:200px;">
<a style="display:block; float:left; width:35%; background:green"></a>
</div>
Now, I'd like to make height of a element equal width (35%). How can I do that? Thank your help.

Well I have that:
HTML:
<div class='box'>
<div class='content'>Aspect ratio of 1:1</div>
</div>
CSS:
.box{
background:#000;
position: relative;
width: 50%; /* desired width */
}
.box:before{
content: "";
display: block;
padding-top: 100%; /* initial ratio of 1:1*/
}

You can adapt it to your needs...
And... A little search in google doesn't hurt: https://www.google.com/search?q=make+height+iquals+to+width

use window.getComputedStyle to get the computed width, then do calculations to get the equvialent percentage that will make it the same size as the width.
HTML
<div class="someDiv" style="width:900px;height:200px;">
<a class="someAnchor" style="display:block; float:left; width:35%; background:green"></a>
</div>
JS
var anchor = document.querySelector(".someDiv .someAnchor");
var astyle = window.getComputedStyle(anchor);
anchor.style.height = astyle.width; //this will make it static though
//to make it a percentage like width so it will expand and contract with resize of parent element
var pstyle = window.getComputedStyle(anchor.parentNode);
var pheight = parseInt(pstyle.height);
var awidth = parseInt(astyle.width);
anchor.style.height = ((awidth/pheight)*100)+"%";
Note that the anchor element will be bigger than the div height wise, to keep it inside the parent you will have to scale it down.

Span banner image across width of browser window

So Far:
The image is shown on the browser, but it is not resized.
<html>
<img id="banner" src="c:/Users/Name/Downloads/picture.jpg" alt="banner" />
<Script>
var X = screen.width;
var Y = screen.height;
banner = document.getElementById('banner');
banner.style.width = X + 'px';
banner.style.height = (Y/5) + 'px';
</Script>
</html>
Other Attempts:
Show the image using purely javascript
Width and height variables accessed through javascript
First, try with no size specs
Image is not shown when I use:
document.write("<img src='c:/Users/Name/Downloads/picture.jpg' />")
Future Thoughts:
My next attempt will be trying to pass the javascript width and height variables to the html since it seems that the html image always shows and given the right size specifications, then that would be exactly what I want. I will post that here if I find a successful method.
markup and CSS like this should do trick for you.
<div class="banner"></div>
div
{
background:url(https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png) no-repeat left top;
width:100%;
height:200px;
background-size:cover;
}
Or even better you can try this CSS instead of above
div
{
position:fixed;
left:0px;
right:0px;
top:0;
height:250px;
background:url(https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png) no-repeat center center;
}

How to set a div height according to another div height using javascript?

I have 2 divs. Since div 1 could be longer, i.e. infinite scroll div, I want to make div 2 the same height with div 1 using javascript. I tried to use the code below, but it does not work. Why?
javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("div2").setAttribute("height",document.getElementById("div1").clientHeight);
</script>
my divs:
#div1 {
width: 700px;
background: #FFF;
overflow: hidden;
float: left;
}
#div2 {
width: 300px;
background-image: url(../images/user_panel.png);
background-repeat:repeat-y;
}
What about this:
var div1 = document.getElementById("div1");
var div2 = document.getElementById("div2");
div2.style.height = div1.style.height; // Might have to add +"px" here.
Just from the top of my head.
This should do the trick:
document.getElementById("div2").style.height=document.getElementById("div1").clientHeight+'px';
the setAttribute function is a DOM function to add a new attribute to an HTML element. You are trying to add the height on a div. That would have the effect:
<div id="div2" height="...">...</div>
But HTML does not define such an height HTML element attribute.
What you are looking for is to set the style of the DOM element. That would be the style DOM element property. And inside the style you have the height property that you must set:
document.getElementById("div2").style.height = document.getElementById("div1").clientHeight + "px";
In the above code sample you might also think about div1's padding (probably bringing it into the computation). This is because clientHeight includes the padding but style.height does not.

Equal Height Columns that Recalculate on Window Resize

The code I have below is supposed to find the height of the largest column (.border) and adjust the height of any other columns found within the .container div to equal it. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get this code to work as intended so I'm hoping someone wiser than I could can help me out.
It's also worth mentioning that column height should be recalculated and columns resized respectively whenever the window has been resized.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
//Bind the window onresize event
$(window).bind('resize', resizeWindow);
//Call resizeWindow() function immediately to intiially set elements
resizeWindow();
});
function resizeWindow(){
//Find all the container parent objects
$('.container').each(function(){
//Initialize the height variable
var maxHeight = 0;
//Cache the jQuery object for faster DOM access and performance
var $borders = $(this).find('.border');
//Find all the border child elements within this specific container
$borders.each(function(){
//Get current element's height
var thisHeight = $(this).height();
//Check if the current height is greater than the max height thus far
//If so, change max height to this height
if (thisHeight>maxHeight) maxHeight = thisHeight;
});
//Now that we have the maximum height of the elements,
//set that height for all the .border child elements inside the parent element
$borders.height(maxHeight);
});
}
</script>
<div class="container">
<a href="#" class="border">
<div class="column">
<div class="content">asdf</div>
</div>
</a>
<a href="#" class="border">
<div class="column">
<div class="content">asdf</div>
</div>
</a>
</div>
Use the jQuery equalHeights plugin:
http://www.cssnewbie.com/equalheights-jquery-plugin
$('.container .border').equalHeights(); // make all .border the same height
$(window).resize(function(){$('.container .border').equalHeights();});
See: http://jsfiddle.net/rZU35/
This is not exactly a solution to your JavaScript problem. This is a CSS solution, that doesn't need any JavaScript. Using those styles with your markup, both columns will always have the same height:
div.container {
display: table;
width: 100px;
}
div.container > a {
display: table-cell;
border: 1px solid red;
}

This will work upon resize too, if no fixed width is set.
I think you should provide an height to your DIV not the <a>.

CSS: dynamic width div

I'm coding a slider and I have problems with the stylying of the container.
I have 3 div:
A div that sets the width and height of the slider
A container div with all the content divs (and the scroll for the slider)
Many divthat show different contents each
What I want to do is apply a negative margin on the second div to slide the content.
LIVE example: http://jsbin.com/efuyix/7/edit
JS:
function animate(element) {
var start = new Date();
var id = setInterval(function() {
var timePassed = new Date() - start;
var progress = timePassed / 600;
if (progress > 1) progress = 1;
element.style.marginLeft = -50 * Math.pow(progress, 5)+"px";
if (progress == 1) {
clearInterval(id);
}
}, 10);
}
CSS
.example_path {
overflow: hidden;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
}
.example_block {
min-width: 100px;
height: 50px;
float:left;
}
.example_in_block {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
float:left;
}
HTML
<div class="example_path">
<div class="example_block" onclick="animate(this)">
<div class="example_in_block" style="background-color:blue;"></div>
<div class="example_in_block" style="background-color:pink;"></div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>
</div>
The problem:
The width of .example_block has to be exactly the same or more than (amount of content divs .example_block * 50 [width size of content div] ) to work.
For example, if I set the width size of the .example_block to 90, the pink div will be below the blue div and not beside it.
I want the container div to be dynamic so I don't have to set the specific width size.
How can I do this?
Simply remove the float:left in the .example_block.
See http://jsbin.com/efuyix/9/edit
Not with negative margins. You can probably set padding on one of the outer DIVs.
Also, min-width isn't going to be backwards compatible with older versions of IE.
Check this example: http://jsfiddle.net/5xBYN/6/
If the initial positioning is good, you can then use negative values on your container DIV (the third DIV) for top, left, right or bottom to achieve sliding.
Update:
Maybe this is closer to what you want. http://jsfiddle.net/5xBYN/7/
I'm still not sure what you are trying to do. Maybe edit the fiddle I posted and update your question with what I'm getting wrong if there is anything.

Positioning a "reel" div properly in jQuery when total width is dynamic

I'm writing my own small pager control in Javascript and jQuery and having trouble positioning it properly.
The pager is set to only be a specific width (340px in this case) which allows it to display roughly ten page buttons. If the user has selected a higher page, I'd like the reel to slide to the left and show the selected page in the center. Since the number of pages is set dynamically (I build the pager in js when the page is loaded) and their width is not constant (double-digit page number buttons are wider than single-digit buttons) how can I determine and then set the pager to the correct position?
I was attempting to use the following code:
(where my buttons are labeled "#Nav1", "#Nav2", etc...)
if (currentPage < 7) {
newPos = 0;
}
else {
newPos = $('#Nav' + (currentPage-5)).position().left;
}
$('#reel').animate({left: newPos*-1}, 700);
But the #reel div is wrapping so position().left doesn't return the position I need.
Suggestions?
Here is my HTML/CSS markup:
<style type="text/css">
div#pager div
{
display: inline-block;
}
#navContainer
{
width: 340px;
height: 28px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
#reel
{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
</style>
<div id="pager" class="buttons">
<div id="preButtons"></div>
<div id="navContainer">
<div id="reel">
</div>
</div>
<div id="postButtons"></div>
</div>
You'll need to manually give #reel a width equivalent to the number of items * the width of each item.
A dynamic way to do this is to load in all of the items, place them in a hidden, unbounded div, then set the width of #reel equal to the width of that div.
Try this before your carousel code:
var dummyDiv = $('<div id="dummy" class="buttons" style="position:absolute;display:none"></div>');
dummyDiv.appendTo('body');
dummyDiv.html($('#reel').html());
var reelWidth = dummyDiv.css('width');
$('#reel').css({'width':reelWidth});
This will allow you to dynamically set the width of the #reel div so it doesn't wrap without knowing the exact size of the contents statically.
