Is it possible to set the height/width of an element in percent using JavaScript or jQuery?
I always do it like this:
$("#id").css("width", "50%");
jQuery way -
$("#id").width('30%');
testjs2
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#form1").validate({
rules: {
name: "required", //simple rule, converted to {required:true}
email: { //compound rule
required: true,
email: true
},
url: {
url: true
},
comment: {
required: true
}
},
messages: {
comment: "Please enter a comment."
}
});
});
function()
{
var ok=confirm('Click "OK" to go to yahoo, "CANCEL" to go to hotmail')
if (ok)
location="http://www.yahoo.com"
else
location="http://www.hotmail.com"
}
function changeWidth(){
var e1 = document.getElementById("e1");
e1.style.width = 400;
}
</script>
<style type="text/css">
* { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; }
.submit { margin-left: 125px; margin-top: 10px;}
.label { display: block; float: left; width: 120px; text-align: right; margin-right: 5px; }
.form-row { padding: 5px 0; clear: both; width: 700px; }
.label.error { width: 250px; display: block; float: left; color: red; padding-left: 10px; }
.input[type=text], textarea { width: 250px; float: left; }
.textarea { height: 50px; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" method="post" action="">
<div class="form-row"><span class="label">Name *</span><input type="text" name="name" /></div>
<div class="form-row"><span class="label">E-Mail *</span><input type="text" name="email" /></div>
<div class="form-row"><span class="label">URL </span><input type="text" name="url" /></div>
<div class="form-row"><span class="label">Your comment *</span><textarea name="comment" ></textarea></div>
<div class="form-row"><input class="submit" type="submit" value="Submit"></div>
<input type="button" value="change width" onclick="changeWidth()"/>
<div id="e1" style="width:20px;height:20px; background-color:#096"></div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Yes, it is:
<div id="myid">Some Content........</div>
document.getElementById('#myid').style.width = '50%';
Also you can use .prop() and it should be better because
Since jQuery 1.6, these properties can no longer be set with the .attr() method. They do not have corresponding attributes and are only properties.
$(elem).prop('width', '100%');
$(elem).prop('height', '100%');
document.getElementById('header').style.width = '50%';
If you are using Firebug or the Chrome/Safari Developer tools, execute the above in the console, and you'll see the Stack Overflow header shrink by 50%.
