HELLO, I AM VERY NEW TO JAVA SCRIPT PROGRAMMING.
I AM PUTTING TOGETHER A PAGE FOR A FRIEND. THAT LOOK DEPENDS VERY MUCH ON SCREEN RESOLUTION, SO I AM TRY TO DETECT IT, AND CHANGE FONTS ACCORDINGLY. MY CODE SO FAR IS: - <head>
-
<script type="text/javascript">
-
-
function chkwidth()
-
{
-
alert(window.screen.width);
-
-
x = window.screen.width;
-
-
if x == 1280
-
{
-
-
document.write("<style type='text/css'> <!-- .style1 {font-size: 18px} --> </style>");
-
}
-
-
else
-
{
-
document.write("<style type='text/css'> <!-- .style1 {font-size: 10px} --> </style>");
-
}
-
}
-
</script>
-
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
-
<title>Untitled Document</title>
-
</head>
-
<body onload="chkwidth()">
-
<span class="style1">test text</span>
-
</body>
-
</html>
-
HOWEVER, WHEN I RUN THE PAGE, I ALWAYS GET THE ERROR OBJECT EXPECTED. WHEN I RUN THE FUNCTION WITH JUST 'ALERT(WINDOW.SCREEN.WIDTH) IT WORKS FINE, SO I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHERE THE PROBLEM IS.
CAN ANYONE HELP?

Shouldn't the if be in parenthesis? i.e. if(statement)
Also, why are you typing in caps?
am typing in caps to differentiate between me and the code, sorry if it seems i'm shouting.
the if statement is in the curly brackets of the function.
how would you write it?
sorry, see what you mean, should be if(condition)....
anyway, i don't get the error any more, but the style font is not being set, i.e
document.write("<style type='text/css'> <!-- .style1 {font-size: 18px} --> </style>");
is not being written to page. i know this because the text 'hello' is not being set the sz 18.
any ideas

To differentiate between the text and the code, use code tags - see How to Ask a Question.
PS. welcome to Bytes!
thanks
any idea on how to create my style with javascript?
To change styles using JavaScript, use the Style object. JavaScript uses camel case, so font-size would be fontSize.
sorry to sound thick, but how would i implement this? at the moment, it's a very basic page, with no div's. so my code is: - function chkwidth()
-
{
-
-
-
if (window.screen.width == 1280)
-
{
-
document.getElementById("style1").style.text.fontSize="28";
-
}
-
-
-
}
-
....
-
-
<body onload="chkwidth()">
-
-
<span class="style1">test text</span>
-
-
</body>
as i say, i'm very new to this, so what should my code look like?
document.getElementById() accesses an element by its ID, so your span or div should have an id of "style1", e.g. - <div id="style1">...</div>
It should be style.fontSize, not style.text.fontSize. See this link on how to use style.fontSize.
One other point to note: what if the screen is wider than 1280?
Finally, you shouldn't need to adjust the font with screen size. The user could do it themselves using the browser menu or via keyboard shortcuts as long you use relative measurements, e.g. "em", "px", etc. You could provide this in the browser using links/buttons.
i've done all my measurements using percentages rather than pixels.
but i find that when viewing in lower resolutions, font sizes, if not reset, looks dispraportionate.
i've put my the 1280 check in to start with, but will run checks for other widths.
using the code i've already given you, what do you think the best way to write it is?
also, to clarify, what exactly is wrong with my code i have written in the previous post?
- document.getElementById("style1").style.text.fontSize="28";
should be - document.getElementById("style1").style.fontSize="28px";
and - <span class="style1">test text</span>
should be - <span id="style1">test text</span>
thanks, works fine. hope to speak again
No problem. Since you're new to JavaScript, why not take a look at this tutorial to get you up and running.
