making an image appear using clip property

Can someone help me out with this.

Here is what i am trying to do. I have an image of size 310x310. Initially i am displaying only 50x50 using clip property. Later using setTimeout property i am trying to get the entire image so that it looks like animation. But this doesn't happen with the code below

[HTML]<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.img1
{
position:absolu te;
clip:rect(0px 50px 50px 0px)
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function start() {
var x=document.getE lementById("img 1");
x.style.clip.ri ght+=10;
x.style.clip.bo ttom+=10;
if (x.style.clip.r ight<310)
setTimeout("sta rt()",10);
else return;
}
</script>
</head>

<body onLoad="start() ;">
<p>The clip property is here cutting an image:</p>
<p><img id="img1" class="img1" border="0" src="Kiva_Logo. jpg" width="310" height="310"></p>
</body>

</html>[/HTML]

There's no clip.right/bottom. Set the whole clip each time. See this link. Don't forget the measurements (e.g. "px").

Sorry i was late in replying. Next time i would make it soon

Thanks for the help

The link was much useful. Here are some modifications that i made and its working fine

[HTML]<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.img1
{
position:absolu te;
clip:rect(0px 50px 50px 0px)
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
var n=1;

function start() {
var x=document.getE lementById("img 1");
var i=0;
if (n<8) {

switch(n)
{
case 1:
x.style.clip="r ect(0px,50px,50 px,0px)";
break;
case 2:
x.style.clip="r ect(0px,100px,1 00px,0px)";
break;
case 3:
x.style.clip="r ect(0px,150px,1 50px,0px)";
break;
case 4:
x.style.clip="r ect(0px,200px,2 00px,0px)";
break;
case 5:
x.style.clip="r ect(0px,250px,2 50px,0px)";
break;
case 6:
x.style.clip="r ect(0px,300px,3 00px,0px)";
break;
case 7:
x.style.clip="r ect(0px,350px,3 50px,0px)";
break;
default:
break;
}

setTimeout("sta rt()",200);
n++;
i++;
}
else {
return;
}
}
</script>
</head>

<body onLoad="start() ;">
<p>The clip property used to cut the image:</p>
<p><img id="img1" class="img1" border="0" src="Kiva_Logo. jpg" width="310" height="310"></p>
</body>

</html>

[/HTML]
But i need to optimize this code.

I need to avoid switch statements and use a variable 'z' such that i have
z=0;
x.style.clip="r ect(0px,z,z,0px )" ;
z++ ;

hence i can increment the clipping pixel by pixel and increasing the speed would make it look like animation.

But the above code(using variable) is not possible. I also tried using arrays and eval. It didn't work.

Can you suggest any method to dynamically increase the clip attributes by using any variable or anything as such.


Thanks for the help

Try this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. x.style.clip="rect(0px,"+(n*50)+"px,"+(n*50)+"px,0px)";
Ps. please use [code] tags when posting code. Thanks!

The code works perfect with this line

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. x.style.clip="rect(0px,"+(n*50)+"px,"+(n*50)+"px,0px)";
The variable should be enclosed between "+" signs when used as an attribute value. That's the lesson for me.


Thanks a lot.

In MS Access image controls there's a property setting for "Size Mode" --> Clip, Zoom or Stretch. I don't see any similar property in an asp image control. When I have an image on a page, it seems to Stretch no matter what. If an image is displayed that has different proportions than the image control itself, the image is distorted. I need a "Zoom" setting (not to zoom in and out). How can this be done? Thanks, Keith

I have an image with a class and the class defines a clip rectangle. In Firefox 2 and 3, and Opera 9, I can access the rectangle with document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(). But that doesn't seem to work in Safari for Windows 3, nor when I use image.currentStyle.clip in IE 7. Is there a way to do this in those browsers? Am I doing something stupid?
