Another CSS & Javascript Problem

Ang Talunin

Hey,
When I use the code beneath I'm trying to resize a img depending on the
resolution of the visitor.
The images resizes fine, but the table doesn't! That keeps using the widht
of the original image.
I tried to put td { width=60%} in the style tag, but that didn't help
either.
How to fix this???

thnx,

A.T.

1
width=60%;
should be
width:60%;

2
this is NOT 60% of the original img width, but 60% of the td width !

3
The </a>'s make no sense here.

4
The last <td> should be </td>

=========================

This will do what you probably want:

<style>
table {width:100%;} /* follows the window width */
td {width:50%;} /* follows the table width */
img {width:100%;} /* follows the td width */
</style>

<table><tr>
<td><img src='im1.jpg'></td>
<td><img src='im2.jpg'></td>
</tr></table>

not tested.

I tried to change the first if in::

if (window.screen.width == "1024") {
document.write("<style>table{ width:100%} td{ width:50%} img{
width:100%}</style>");
}

But that doesn't work....

any other ideas?

What about people with other resolutions?

What about people who don't maximise their browser window?

the "" around 1024 are unneccessary

This cannot work, because the screen with is only available when the page
is being build, and the document.write() destroys the build.

I showed you earlier, what I think is the best, only using css, but since
perhaps I do not understand what you want, that is just my assumption.

Remember %-width is percent of the container, not of the img itself.

What always should be possible is two pages with clientside relocation:

// this is in "mypageLOW.html"
if (window.screen.width > 1023 ) location.href="mypageHIGH.html"

They are taking care of also, but that's not the problem....

I don't care. If they want to see the foto's I'm displaying correctly,
without scrollbars the just have to maximise...

But why is the <style> in the document.write changing the size of the
images, but not the size of the cells of the table?

because you specified 60%, this means that the image wil fill 60% of the
container, and that is the TD:

<style>
IMG {width:60%;}
</style>

If you want to change the size of the td, and fill the td with the img,
you have to specify:

<style>
TABLE {width:70%;}
TD {width:50%;}
IMG {width:100%;}
</style>

<table>
<tr>
<td><img src="..."></td>
<td><img src="..."></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="..."></td>
<td><img src="..."></td>
</tr>
</table>
now the TD is, if possible, 50% of the table width. And the table width
is 70% of its container, wich could be the <body>.

================================

If you have more tables or td's or img's that you want to have different
measurements assigned to, work with css classes:
<style>
..tableclass {width:70%;margin-left:15%;}
..tdclass {width:50%;}
..imgclass {width:100%;}
</style>

<table class="tableclass">
<tr>
<td class="tdclass"><img class="imgclass" src="..."></td>
<td class="tdclass"><img class="imgclass" src="..."></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="tdclass"><img class="imgclass" src="..."></td>
<td class="tdclass"><img class="imgclass" src="..."></td>
</tr>
</table>

As you see no javascript at all so:
while the Q is on-topic, the A is off ...

you have to specify:

<td><img src="..."></td>
</tr>
</table>

OK, so I tried and made this code::
<html>
<head>
<style>
TABLE {width:70%;}
TD {width:50%;}
IMG {width:100%;}
</style>
</head>
<body >

<h1>Sportdag</h1><p>
<table><tr>
<td><img src='im1.jpg' ></a>
<td><img src='im2.jpg' ></a>

So when i resize my window it should change the size of the td....well it
doesn't....
So I tried to change the value of the table-width and for 100% it enlarged
the picture, and till about 60% it made the picture smaller, but under the
60% it didn't change anything....
might that be the problem?
================================

I know that, but that's not the case.

You are right, I'll have to test further.
Anyone else ?

Possibly a better solution would be to give the user the choice of image
size. Perhaps a background image with a scale on it showing how wide and
tall "small" and "large" (and whatever other sizes you want) will appear
and ask the user to select one. This has the added benefit that users with
large resolutions but narrow bandwidth can choose a smaller image that
downloads faster.

The images aren't very large, cause they already are thumbnails and linked
to the original image, so i don't think it's an option...

Its quite possible. Just create images of whatever intermediate sizes you
want, and then dynamically generate the thumbnails pages with links to the
selected image size.
