<div> and screen size - C# / C Sharp

Dmitri Shvetsov

Hi,

I'm using these strings around DataGrid

<div ID="div1" style="LEFT: 4px; OVERFLOW: auto; WIDTH: 100%; POSITION:
absolute; TOP: 248px; HEIGHT: 300px">

....datagrid...

</div>

It works fine if both the screen sizes are the same, during design and
running.

How can I modify the absolute "HEIGHT: 300px" to adjust to a current screen
resolution? The problem is that I can't use percents because the header
above this this datagrid is a more or less permanent and I can't resize all
my controls on the header. I know that I can detect a current screen size
using "window." but can I use this value to change HEIGHT of this <div> on
the fly? I need to resize this <div> from required position to the very end
of the screen. I tried to use the mathematical equation instead of a real
number for the HEIGHT: value but it didn't work.

have a script that sets it when the document loads, something like:

<script language="JavaS cript">
function setDiv()
{
height = screen.width - 30; // adjust 30, it'll need to remove the width
of the browser window's border
document.getEle mentById("div1" ).style.height = height;
}
</script>

<body onload="setDiv( )">...

or when the browser is re-sized:

<body onresize="setDi v()">...

Hi Chris,

Thank you for this answer. You know, after reading of your answer I found
this page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...s/overview.asp

and tested it. You can click the links at this page to see your screen
parameters.

availHeight - Retrieves the height of the working area of the system's
screen, excluding the Microsoft WindowsR taskbar.
height - Retrieves the vertical resolution of the screen.

That's true - these methods show me 1136 and 1200 pixels. So there is no
reason to use these functions, this approach can show the screen resolution.
But I need a current size of IE window to resize my DIV element using the
"onresize" event.

Does somebody know how to get the current IE window size?

Thanks,
Dmitri

Space between <p>...</p> and <div>...</div> blocks

I know this must seem totally basic and stupid, but I cannot find any reference that describes how to control the spacing between <p>...</p> and <div>...</div> blocks. When I implement these on a page, there is a huge gap (like 3/8 inch or 25 px) between them. This is driving me bananas.

Mozilla <div> can't see nested floated <div>?

by: Philip | last post by:

I am trying to make a bunched of left-floated divs that will be contained in a larger div. the floated divs all contain a left-floated img and text of varying sizes. If I don't set a height (or height:auto) the larger div doesn't seem to see the nested divs, and they spill out the bottom. IE seems to automatically resize the larger div as long as I set the height to 100% or any pixel size. Mozilla doesn't recognize the percent, and...

Variable length scrolling <div> or <iframe>?

by: Jim M | last post by:

I have had great success with using <iframe> with overflow-y set to auto. I can get a similar look with the <iframe> tag. BUT... In all cases I need to have fixed heights. Is there a way to put either tag inside an HTML <TD> and have the same kind of scrolling effect. This would allow me to fill the screen and have the size of the scrolling box change on resize. Thanks in advance.
