I have multiple divs in my body which need the same style:
<div class="box"></div>
I have a javascript that calculates the height of the browser window viewport height.
I want to apply that height to all my "box" classed divs.
<script type="text/javascript">
var box = document.getElementsByClassName('box')[0];
var height = (window.innerHeight) ? window.innerHeight: document.documentElement.clientHeight;
box.style.height=(height)+'px';
</script>
This works, but only with one div, it doesn't make the second "box" div the same height as the previous. If I change the number in square brackets from 0 to 1 it applies the height to the second div. Also, if I make a second copy of the javascript so that the first script has [0] and the second [1] it applies the height to both divs. I can't delete the square brackets because then the javascript doesn't work at all. I have also tried to get the name with getElementsByTagName with no success.
How can I make this javascript apply the same height to all the divs with "box" class? Or is there another way to do what I try to do?
try the following:
var elems = document.getElementsByClassName('box'),
size = elems.length;
for (var i = 0; i < size; i++) {
var box = elems[i];
var height = (window.innerHeight) ? window.innerHeight: document.documentElement.clientHeight;
box.style.height=(height)+'px';
}

A simple way would be to document.write the style in the html,
while the page is being read, after the link elements are defined.
<script>
document.writeln('<style>div.box{height:'+
document.documentElement.clientHeight+'px;}'+
'<\/style>');
</script>
</head>
<body...

I want to crop text and found ways to do that.
The problem is they work on height and i don't know the height because the heading above can have 1, 2, 3... lines.
So i need to get the height of the outer element and subtract the heading height.
var list = document.body.getElementsByClassName("cropText");
for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
cropTextToFit(list[i]);
}
function cropTextToFit (o) {
var containerHeight = o.clientHeight;
var head = document.getElementsByTagName("H2");
var headHeight = head.clientHeight;
console.log(containerHeight);
console.log(headHeight);
}
cropText is the article tag where the heading and the paragraph are in.
headHeight shows "undefined" and "containerHeight" is wrong...
Firstly you need to find the <H2> tag within the cropText element (o in your function), document.getElementsByTagName("H2") will return an array of all the <H2> s in the document
Presuming there is only one h2 inside the cropText element you need something like
var head = o.querySelector('h2');
Also, to work out the total h2 height you will need offsetHeight + the height of the top and bottom margins
getElementsByTagName returns more objects and param clientHeight not avaliable. Use head[i]
var ref = document.getElementById("ref");
var bio = document.getElementById("bio");
var size = 0.1;
bio.style.fontSize = "0.1vw";
while(ref.style.height < bio.style.height) {
size += 0.1;
bio.style.fontSize = concat(toString(size), 'vw');
}
Hi,
I'm trying to get this script to work so that the font-size of div "bio" makes its height equal to or just larger than the height of a div next to it, "ref". The code above does not work. Can you help me, thanks.
Use fontSize instead of font-size. That's how the Javascript properties are written.
Like this:
bio.style.fontSize = ...
And any other styling that would normally have a dash in css is camelCase in Javascript
I'd like opinions on whether or not Javascript is a still a viable and relatively effective method of producing fluid website layouts. I know that it is possible to create fluid layouts with Javascript, but relative to other methods (e.g. CSS3/HTML5) how does it stand up in terms of performance and complexity? The function below represents what I mean. In the function, javascript is being used to find the dimensions of various elements and place other elements accordingly. To see it working, follow this link.
function onPageResize() {
//center the header
var headerWidth = document.getElementById('header').offsetWidth; //find the width of the div 'header'
var insideHeaderWidth = (document.getElementsByClassName('header')[0].offsetWidth + document.getElementsByClassName('header')[1].offsetWidth + document.getElementById('logoHeader').offsetWidth); //find the combined width of all elements located within the parent element 'header'
document.getElementsByClassName('header')[0].style.marginLeft = ((headerWidth - insideHeaderWidth) / 2) + "px"; //set the margin-left of the first element inside of the 'header' div
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//justify alignment of textboxes
var subtitleWidth = document.getElementsByClassName('subtitle'); //assign the properties of all elements in the class 'subtitle' to a new array 'subtitleWidth'
var inputForm = document.getElementsByClassName('inputForm'); //assign the properties of all elements in the class 'inputForm' to a new array 'inputForm'
for (i = 0; i < inputForm.length; i++) { //for every element in the array 'inputForm' set the margin-left to dynamically place the input forms relative to eachother
inputForm[i].style.marginLeft = (subtitleWidth[4].offsetWidth - subtitleWidth[i].offsetWidth) + "px";
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//place footer on absolute bottom of page
if (window.innerHeight >= 910) { //when the page is larger than '910px' execute the following
var totalHeight = 0; //initialize a new variable 'totalHeight' which will eventually be used to calulate the total height of all elements in the window
var bodyBlockHeight = document.getElementsByClassName('bodyBlock'); //assign the properties of all elements in the class 'bodyBlock' to a new array 'bodyBlockHeight'
for (i = 0; i < bodyBlockHeight.length; i++) { //for every instance of bodyBlockHeight in the array, add the height of that element into the 'totalHeight'
totalHeight += bodyBlockHeight[i].offsetHeight;
}
totalHeight += document.getElementById('header').offsetHeight; //finally, to add the height of the only element that has yet to be quantified, include the height of the element 'header' into the 'totalHeight'
/*Set the margin-top of the element 'footer' to the result of subtracting the combined heights of all elements in the window from the height of the window.
This will cause the footer to always be at the absolute bottom of the page, despite whether or not content actually exists there. */
document.getElementById('footer').style.marginTop = (window.innerHeight - totalHeight) - document.getElementById('footer').offsetHeight + "px";
} else {
//if the page height is larger than 910px (approx the height of all elements combined), then simply place the footer 20px below the last element in the body
document.getElementById('footer').style.marginTop = "20px"
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
}
Again, the result of the above function can be viewed at this link.
Thank you to any and all who offer their opinions!
You should be using CSS rather than JavaScript because that is what CSS is designed to do. If you want a fluid layout play around with using percentage widths, floats and media queries.
I have a div with a static size. Sometimes longer text than the div will be placed there. Is there anyway to achieve the text fitting the div width at all times through JavaScript alone? I am aware there are jQuery fixes but need a pure JS solution in this case.
Even if you have a link to a demo/tutorial that would be helpful, thanks.
Here you go, this should do what you want: JSFiddle
Basically the key here is to check the output.scrollHeight against output.height. Consider the following setup:
HTML:
<button onclick="addText(); resizeFont()">Click Me to Add Some Text!</button>
<div id="output"></div>
CSS:
div {
width: 160px;
height: 160px;
}
This creates a square div and fills it with a randomly long string of text via the addText() method.
function addText() {
var text = "Lorem ipsum dolor amit",
len = Math.floor(Math.random() * 15),
output = document.querySelector('#output'),
str = [];
for (; --len;)
str.push(text);
output.innerHTML = str.join(', ');
}
The magic lies in the resizeFont() function. Basically what this does is, once the text has been added, it sets the fontSize of the div to be equal to its own height. This is the base case for when you have a string of 1 character (i.e. the fontSize will equal the height). As the length of your string grows, the fontSize will need to be made smaller until the scrollHeight equals the height of the div
function resizeFont() {
var output = document.querySelector('#output'),
numRE = /(\d+)px/,
height = numRE.exec(window.getComputedStyle(output).height)[1],
fontSize = height;
// allow div to be empty without entering infinite loop
if (!output.innerHTML.length) return;
// set the initial font size to the height of the div
output.style.fontSize = fontSize + 'px';
// decrease the font size until the scrollHeight == height
while (output.scrollHeight > height)
output.style.fontSize = --fontSize + 'px';
}
The nice thing about this method is that you can easily attach an event listener to the resize event of the window, making the text dynamically resize as the user changes the window size: http://jsfiddle.net/QvDy8/2/
window.onload = function() {
window.addEventListener('resize', resizeFont, false);
}
Suppose I have the following html, and no CSS
<div>
here is some content in this div. it stretches it out
<br />and down too!
</div>
Now I want to get the actual pixel width and height that the browser has rendered this div as.
Can that be done with JS?
Thank you.
Try getting a reference to your div and reading the offsetWidth and offsetHeight properties:
var myDiv = document.getElementById('myDiv');
var width = myDiv.offsetWidth; // int
var height = myDiv.offsetHeight;
offsetWidth/Height cumulatively measures the element's borders, horizontal padding, vertical scrollbar (if present, if rendered) and CSS width. It's the pixel values of the entire space that the element uses in the document. I think it's what you want.
If that is not what you meant, and you'd rather only the element's width and height (i.e. excluding padding, margin, etc) try getComputedStyle:
var comStyle = window.getComputedStyle(myDiv, null);
var width = parseInt(comStyle.getPropertyValue("width"), 10);
var height = parseInt(comStyle.getPropertyValue("height"), 10);
The values above will be the final, computed pixel values for the width and height css style properties (including values set by a <style> element or an external stylesheet).
Like all helpful things, this won't work in IE.
You say you are using jQuery. Well it's trivial now, and works cross-browser:
var width = $('div').css('width');
var height = $('div').css('height');
With jQuery you don't need the first part of this answer, it's all taken care of for ya ;)
One of the benefits of using a framework, like Prototype, is that the framework authors have usually sorted out the portability issues. Even if you don't use the framework, it can still be instructive to read. In the case of Prototype, the code for reading the dimensions of an element accounts for a Safari issue and allows you to read the width of an element that is not presently dislayed.
getDimensions: function(element) {
element = $(element);
var display = $(element).getStyle('display');
if (display != 'none' && display != null) // Safari bug
return {width: element.offsetWidth, height: element.offsetHeight};
// All *Width and *Height properties give 0 on elements with display none,
// so enable the element temporarily
var els = element.style;
var originalVisibility = els.visibility;
var originalPosition = els.position;
var originalDisplay = els.display;
els.visibility = 'hidden';
els.position = 'absolute';
els.display = 'block';
var originalWidth = element.clientWidth;
var originalHeight = element.clientHeight;
els.display = originalDisplay;
els.position = originalPosition;
els.visibility = originalVisibility;
return {width: originalWidth, height: originalHeight};
},
For the jQuery framework, .height and .width do the job.
