textbox.width=textbox.width*0.85 Text Resize Control Help

I am trying to develop a resize module i can include on my pages that calculates the size of input fields based on the screen resolution...
I can already detect the screen resolution, and i have the width / height multiplier for every resolution i need to support... my problem is this...

I want the include file to be totally universal so heres my plan
I will use CSS styles to set the current text box size... i want the javascript to then detect the screen size and apply the correct multiplier to the textbox size...

Where i run into issues is getting the current textbox size and adding it to itself, it seems i cannot use the current textbox size because the javascript is loading before the text boxes themselves...

I am triggering this java on the BODY ONLOAD event....

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

frmMain.txtLogin.style.width=frmMain.txtLogin.style.width*intWidthMultiplier

the input box would be coded like this

[HTML]<input type=text name=txtLogin style="height:20; width:200; font-size:12" />
[/HTML]

Thanks in advance for any help you can add.

hi ...

welcome to TSDN ...

in case you call the script onload the textbox is ready to use and to be manipulated ...

but i think you have to add units to the width-value ...

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

text_box_reference.style.width = your_width + 'px';

note: the retrieved value should have that unit already, so you have to strip the value out of that before using math-operations :)

kind regards

ps: you should add the units too in the elements style-declaration ...

Im not familiar with units i will have to research these, i am executing the java function on Body Onload, when i try to use this code

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

frmMain.txtLogin.style.width=frmMain.txtLogin.style.width*intWidthMultiplier

then it errors stating "Invalid arguement"

hi ...

have a look at the following example:

[HTML]<script type="text/javascript">
function resize_tb(tb_id) {
var tb = document.getElementById('my_tb');
tb.style.width = tb.style.width.replace(/px$/, '') * 2 + 'px';
}
</script>
<body onload="resize_tb('my_tb');">
<input style="width:400px" type="text" id="my_tb" name="test" value="test"/>
</body>
[/HTML]
the invalid arg error should come from another line of your code since the one you posted has no arguments?

kind regards

for(i=0; i<document.frmMain.elements.length; i++)
{
if(document.frmMain.elements[i].type=="text")
{
document.frmMain.elements[i].style.width=document.frmMain.elements[i].style.width * intWidthMultiplier;
}
}
}

I continue to get invalid arguement with this.....
The error is pointing to this line
document.frmMain.elements[i].style.width=document.frmMain.elements[i].style.width * intWidthMultiplier

the variable intWidthMultiplier during my tests has a value of 0.050
