having a special stylesheet for 800x600

Hi Folk

I was wondering if I could do the following:

write a php function that changes a stylesheet from 1024x768 to one
for 800x600 by literally changing all the widths, heights, font-sizes,
etc... by the ratio between 800/1024 (i.e. multiplying all values to
do with height or length with 0.78125)

My question is how I would write a regular expression that replaces as
follows:

YYYpx to ZZZpx
YYYem to ZZZem
YYYpt to ZZZpt
YYY% to ZZZ%

where YYY is the original numerical value and ZZZ = YYY * 0.78125.

Could you please help me to write this regular expression to test this
theory?

Thank you

Nicolaas

I dont understand why you want to do that.
Can you not change the dimensions to relative sizes (%)?

Richard.

Have two different style sheets with different base values on just the
<bodyelement. Have a third (cascading) sheet with the rest of the
styling, express *everything* in either percentage or em. Problem solved
without touching a single line of code.

pages which flow with the current window size (fluid window).

And just because my screen size is 1024x768 (or whatever) doesn't mean
my window size is. In fact, it almost never is. So your idea won't
work on my browser.

thanks for all the replies.

Just out of curiosity. Do you know what the regular expression would
be?

Thank you

It's not a task I'd even *attempt* using regular expressions. If I really
needed to programatically modify some CSS, I'd parse the stylesheet into
some sort of object structure, tweak the objects and then re-serialise
back to CSS. Complex work, but the only way that's going to cover all the
edge cases.

assuming your stylesheet is in the variable $css,

$css = preg_replace_callback('/\d+(?=\s*(px|em|pt|%))/', 'convert', $css);

function convert($m) {
return round($m[0] * 800 / 1024);
}


hope this helps

wow cool, using CSS completely incorrectly!

CSS = a way for your pages to look good REGARDLESS OF SCREEN RESOLUTION


Programming for screen resolution puts you squarely back to 1996.
