IMage animate larger when DT is active animate smaller when isn't - php

Looking to tweak this script: http://css-tricks.com/examples/InfoGrid/
I've added an image within each "dt", I'd like it to be a specific size when closed & then animate larger when that "dt" is selected (much like how the text is). Of course then return to it's original size when a different "dt" is selected.
Also would like more control over things that are in their "normal state" vs. "selected state". Any ideas?
<div id="page-wrap">
<div class="info-col">
<h2>Superman</h2>
<a class="image superman" href="http://jprart.deviantart.com/art/Batman-and-Superman-64545242">View Image</a>

<div class="info-col">
<h2>Superman 2</h2>

The JS:
$(function() {
// Set up variables
var $el, $parentWrap, $otherWrap, $imgBig,
$allTitles = $("dt").css({
padding: 5, // setting the padding here prevents a weird situation, where it would start animating at 0 padding instead of 5
"cursor": "pointer" // make it seem clickable
}),
$allCells = $("dd").css({
position: "relative",
top: -1,
left: 0,
display: "none" // info cells are just kicked off the page with CSS (for accessibility)
});
// clicking image of inactive column just opens column, doesn't go to link
$("#page-wrap").delegate("a.image","click", function(e) {
if ( !$(this).parent().hasClass("curCol") ) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).next().find('dt:first').click();
}
});
// clicking on titles does stuff
$("#page-wrap").delegate("dt", "click", function() {
// cache this, as always, is good form
$el = $(this);
// if this is already the active cell, don't do anything
if (!$el.hasClass("current")) {
$parentWrap = $el.parent().parent();
$otherWraps = $(".info-col").not($parentWrap);
// remove current cell from selection of all cells
$allTitles = $("dt").not(this);
// close all info cells
$allCells.slideUp();
// return all titles (except current one) to normal size
$allTitles.animate({
fontSize: "14px",
paddingTop: 5,
paddingRight: 5,
paddingBottom: 5,
paddingLeft: 5
});
// animate current title to larger size
$el.animate({
"font-size": "18px",
paddingTop: 10,
paddingRight: 15,
paddingBottom: 0,
paddingLeft: 10
}).next().slideDown();
// make the current column the large size
$parentWrap.animate({
width: 351
}).addClass("curCol");
// make other columns the small size
$otherWraps.animate({
width: 140
}).removeClass("curCol");
// make sure the correct column is current
$allTitles.removeClass("current");
$el.addClass("current");
}
});
$("#starter").trigger("click");
});

The answer that worked for me is:
$el.find('img').animate({ //enlarge image(s)
width: 225
}).parent().next().slideDown();
$allTitles.find('img').animate({ //reduce image(s)
width: 125
}).parent().next().slideDown();

How to modify parameter of a JS script inside PHP file depending on screen size - wordpress [duplicate]

How can I get windowWidth, windowHeight, pageWidth, pageHeight, screenWidth, screenHeight, pageX, pageY, screenX, screenY which will work in all major browsers?
You can get the size of the window or document with jQuery:
// Size of browser viewport.
$(window).height();
$(window).width();
// Size of HTML document (same as pageHeight/pageWidth in screenshot).
$(document).height();
$(document).width();
For screen size you can use the screen object:
window.screen.height;
window.screen.width;
This has everything you need to know: Get viewport/window size
but in short:
var win = window,
doc = document,
docElem = doc.documentElement,
body = doc.getElementsByTagName('body')[0],
x = win.innerWidth || docElem.clientWidth || body.clientWidth,
y = win.innerHeight|| docElem.clientHeight|| body.clientHeight;
alert(x + ' × ' + y);
Fiddle
Please stop editing this answer. It's been edited 22 times now by different people to match their code format preference. It's also been pointed out that this isn't required if you only want to target modern browsers - if so you only need the following:
const width = window.innerWidth || document.documentElement.clientWidth ||
document.body.clientWidth;
const height = window.innerHeight|| document.documentElement.clientHeight||
document.body.clientHeight;
console.log(width, height);
Here is a cross browser solution with pure JavaScript (Source):
var width = window.innerWidth
|| document.documentElement.clientWidth
|| document.body.clientWidth;
var height = window.innerHeight
|| document.documentElement.clientHeight
|| document.body.clientHeight;
A non-jQuery way to get the available screen dimension. window.screen.width/height has already been put up, but for responsive webdesign and completeness sake I think its worth to mention those attributes:
alert(window.screen.availWidth);
alert(window.screen.availHeight);
http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/w3c_cssom.html#t10 :
availWidth and availHeight - The available width and height on the
screen (excluding OS taskbars and such).
But when we talk about responsive screens and if we want to handle it using jQuery for some reason,
window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight
gives the correct measurement. Even it removes the scroll-bar's extra space and we don't need to worry about adjusting that space :)
Full 2020
I am surprised that question have about 10 years and it looks like so far nobody has given a full answer (with 10 values) yet. So I carefully analyse OP question (especially picture) and have some remarks
center of coordinate system (0,0) is in the viewport (browser window without bars and main borders) top left corner and axes are directed to right and down (what was marked on OP picture) so the values of pageX, pageY, screenX, screenY must be negative (or zero if page is small or not scrolled)
for screenHeight/Width OP wants to count screen height/width including system menu bar (eg. in MacOs) - this is why we NOT use .availWidth/Height (which not count it)
for windowWidth/Height OP don't want to count size of scroll bars so we use .clientWidth/Height
the screenY - in below solution we add to position of top left browser corner (window.screenY) the height of its menu/tabls/url bar). But it is difficult to calculate that value if download-bottom bar appears in browser and/or if developer console is open on page bottom - in that case this value will be increased of size of that bar/console height in below solution. Probably it is impossible to read value of bar/console height to make correction (without some trick like asking user to close that bar/console before measurements...)
pageWidth - in case when pageWidth is smaller than windowWidth we need to manually calculate size of <body> children elements to get this value (we do example calculation in contentWidth in below solution - but in general this can be difficult for that case)
for simplicity I assume that <body> margin=0 - if not then you should consider this values when calculate pageWidth/Height and pageX/Y
function sizes() {
const contentWidth = [...document.body.children].reduce(
(a, el) => Math.max(a, el.getBoundingClientRect().right), 0)
- document.body.getBoundingClientRect().x;
return {
windowWidth: document.documentElement.clientWidth,
windowHeight: document.documentElement.clientHeight,
pageWidth: Math.min(document.body.scrollWidth, contentWidth),
pageHeight: document.body.scrollHeight,
screenWidth: window.screen.width,
screenHeight: window.screen.height,
pageX: document.body.getBoundingClientRect().x,
pageY: document.body.getBoundingClientRect().y,
screenX: -window.screenX,
screenY: -window.screenY - (window.outerHeight-window.innerHeight),
}
}
// TEST
function show() {
console.log(sizes());
}
body { margin: 0 }
.box { width: 3000px; height: 4000px; background: red; }
<div class="box">
CAUTION: stackoverflow snippet gives wrong values for screenX-Y,
but if you copy this code to your page directly the values will be right<br>
<button onclick="show()" style="">CALC</button>

You can also get the WINDOW width and height, avoiding browser toolbars and other stuff. It is the real usable area in browser's window.
To do this, use:
window.innerWidth and window.innerHeight properties (see doc at w3schools).
In most cases it will be the best way, in example, to display a perfectly centred floating modal dialog. It allows you to calculate positions on window, no matter which resolution orientation or window size is using the browser.
To check height and width of your current loaded page of any website using "console" or after clicking "Inspect".
step 1: Click the right button of mouse and click on 'Inspect' and then click 'console'
step 2: Make sure that your browser screen should be not in 'maximize' mode. If the browser screen is in 'maximize' mode, you need to first click the maximize button (present either at right or left top corner) and un-maximize it.
step 3: Now, write the following after the greater than sign ('>') i.e.
> window.innerWidth
output : your present window width in px (say 749)
> window.innerHeight
output : your present window height in px (say 359)
Complete guide related to Screen sizes
JavaScript
For height:
document.body.clientHeight // Inner height of the HTML document body, including padding
// but not the horizontal scrollbar height, border, or margin
screen.height // Device screen height (i.e. all physically visible stuff)
screen.availHeight // Device screen height minus the operating system taskbar (if present)
window.innerHeight // The current document's viewport height, minus taskbars, etc.
window.outerHeight // Height the current window visibly takes up on screen
// (including taskbars, menus, etc.)
Note: When the window is maximized this will equal screen.availHeight
For width:
document.body.clientWidth // Full width of the HTML page as coded, minus the vertical scroll bar
screen.width // Device screen width (i.e. all physically visible stuff)
screen.availWidth // Device screen width, minus the operating system taskbar (if present)
window.innerWidth // The browser viewport width (including vertical scroll bar, includes padding but not border or margin)
window.outerWidth // The outer window width (including vertical scroll bar,
// toolbars, etc., includes padding and border but not margin)
Jquery
For height:
$(document).height() // Full height of the HTML page, including content you have to
// scroll to see
$(window).height() // The current document's viewport height, minus taskbars, etc.
$(window).innerHeight() // The current document's viewport height, minus taskbars, etc.
$(window).outerHeight() // The current document's viewport height, minus taskbars, etc.
For width:
$(document).width() // The browser viewport width, minus the vertical scroll bar
$(window).width() // The browser viewport width (minus the vertical scroll bar)
$(window).innerWidth() // The browser viewport width (minus the vertical scroll bar)
$(window).outerWidth() // The browser viewport width (minus the vertical scroll bar)
Reference: https://help.optimizely.com/Build_Campaigns_and_Experiments/Use_screen_measurements_to_design_for_responsive_breakpoints
With the introduction of globalThis in ES2020 you can use properties like.
For screen size:
globalThis.screen.availWidth
globalThis.screen.availHeight
For Window Size
globalThis.outerWidth
globalThis.outerHeight
For Offset:
globalThis.pageXOffset
globalThis.pageYOffset
...& so on.
alert("Screen Width: "+ globalThis.screen.availWidth +"\nScreen Height: "+ globalThis.screen.availHeight)
If you need a truly bulletproof solution for the document width and height (the pageWidth and pageHeight in the picture), you might want to consider using a plugin of mine, jQuery.documentSize.
It has just one purpose: to always return the correct document size, even in scenarios when jQuery and other methods fail. Despite its name, you don't necessarily have to use jQuery – it is written in vanilla Javascript and works without jQuery, too.
Usage:
var w = $.documentWidth(),
h = $.documentHeight();
for the global document. For other documents, e.g. in an embedded iframe you have access to, pass the document as a parameter:
var w = $.documentWidth( myIframe.contentDocument ),
h = $.documentHeight( myIframe.contentDocument );
Update: now for window dimensions, too
Ever since version 1.1.0, jQuery.documentSize also handles window dimensions.
That is necessary because
$( window ).height() is buggy in iOS, to the point of being useless
$( window ).width() and $( window ).height() are unreliable on mobile because they don't handle the effects of mobile zooming.
jQuery.documentSize provides $.windowWidth() and $.windowHeight(), which solve these issues. For more, please check out the documentation.
I wrote a small javascript bookmarklet you can use to display the size. You can easily add it to your browser and whenever you click it you will see the size in the right corner of your browser window.
Here you find information how to use a bookmarklet
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarklet
Bookmarklet
javascript:(function(){!function(){var i,n,e;return n=function(){var n,e,t;return t="background-color:azure; padding:1rem; position:fixed; right: 0; z-index:9999; font-size: 1.2rem;",n=i('<div style="'+t+'"></div>'),e=function(){return'<p style="margin:0;">width: '+i(window).width()+" height: "+i(window).height()+"</p>"},n.html(e()),i("body").prepend(n),i(window).resize(function(){n.html(e())})},(i=window.jQuery)?(i=window.jQuery,n()):(e=document.createElement("script"),e.src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js",e.onload=n,document.body.appendChild(e))}()}).call(this);
Original Code
The original code is in coffee:
(->
addWindowSize = ()->
style = 'background-color:azure; padding:1rem; position:fixed; right: 0; z-index:9999; font-size: 1.2rem;'
$windowSize = $('<div style="' + style + '"></div>')
getWindowSize = ->
'<p style="margin:0;">width: ' + $(window).width() + ' height: ' + $(window).height() + '</p>'
$windowSize.html getWindowSize()
$('body').prepend $windowSize
$(window).resize ->
$windowSize.html getWindowSize()
return
if !($ = window.jQuery)
# typeof jQuery=='undefined' works too
script = document.createElement('script')
script.src = 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js'
script.onload = addWindowSize
document.body.appendChild script
else
$ = window.jQuery
addWindowSize()
)()
Basically the code is prepending a small div which updates when you resize your window.
In some cases related with responsive layout $(document).height() can return wrong data that displays view port height only.
For example when some div#wrapper has height:100%, that #wrapper can be stretched by some block inside it. But it's height still will be like viewport height. In such situation you might use
$('#wrapper').get(0).scrollHeight
That represents actual size of wrapper.
I developed a library for knowing the real viewport size for desktops and mobiles browsers, because viewport sizes are inconsistents across devices and cannot rely on all the answers of that post (according to all the research I made about this) : https://github.com/pyrsmk/W
Sometimes you need to see the width/height changes while resizing the window and inner content.
For that I've written a little script that adds a log box that dynamicly monitors all the resizing and almost immediatly updates.
It adds a valid HTML with fixed position and high z-index, but is small enough, so you can:
use it on an actual site
use it for testing mobile/responsive
views
Tested on: Chrome 40, IE11, but it is highly possible to work on other/older browsers too ... :)
function gebID(id){ return document.getElementById(id); }
function gebTN(tagName, parentEl){

return parentEl.getElementsByTagName(tagName);

var tags = gebTN(tagName, parentEl);
for( var i = 0; i<tags.length; i++ ) tags[i].setAttribute('style', styleString);

);
setStyleToTags(table, "td", "color: black !important; border: none !important; padding: 5px !important; text-align:center !important;");
setStyleToTags(table, "th", "color: black !important; border: none !important; padding: 5px !important; text-align:center !important;");
table.style.setProperty( 'margin-left', '-'+( table.clientWidth / 2 )+'px' );
setInterval( testSizes, 200 );
EDIT: Now styles are applied only to logger table element - not to all tables - also this is a jQuery-free solution :)
You can use the Screen object to get this.
The following is an example of what it would return:
Screen {
availWidth: 1920,
availHeight: 1040,
width: 1920,
height: 1080,
colorDepth: 24,
pixelDepth: 24,
top: 414,
left: 1920,
availTop: 414,
availLeft: 1920
}
To get your screenWidth variable, just use screen.width, same with screenHeight, you would just use screen.height.
To get your window width and height, it would be screen.availWidth or screen.availHeight respectively.
For the pageX and pageY variables, use window.screenX or Y. Note that this is from the VERY LEFT/TOP OF YOUR LEFT/TOP-est SCREEN. So if you have two screens of width 1920 then a window 500px from the left of the right screen would have an X value of 2420 (1920+500). screen.width/height, however, display the CURRENT screen's width or height.
To get the width and height of your page, use jQuery's $(window).height() or $(window).width().
Again using jQuery, use $("html").offset().top and $("html").offset().left for your pageX and pageY values.
here is my solution!
// innerWidth
const screen_viewport_inner = () => {
let w = window,
i = `inner`;
if (!(`innerWidth` in window)) {
i = `client`;
w = document.documentElement || document.body;
}
return {
width: w[`${i}Width`],
height: w[`${i}Height`]
}
};
// outerWidth
const screen_viewport_outer = () => {
let w = window,
o = `outer`;
if (!(`outerWidth` in window)) {
o = `client`;
w = document.documentElement || document.body;
}
return {
width: w[`${o}Width`],
height: w[`${o}Height`]
}
};
// style
const console_color = `
color: rgba(0,255,0,0.7);
font-size: 1.5rem;
border: 1px solid red;
`;
// testing
const test = () => {
let i_obj = screen_viewport_inner();
console.log(`%c screen_viewport_inner = \n`, console_color, JSON.stringify(i_obj, null, 4));
let o_obj = screen_viewport_outer();
console.log(`%c screen_viewport_outer = \n`, console_color, JSON.stringify(o_obj, null, 4));
};
// IIFE
(() => {
test();
})();
This how I managed to get the screen width in React JS Project:
If width is equal to 1680 then return 570 else return 200
var screenWidth = window.screen.availWidth;
<Label style={{ width: screenWidth == "1680" ? 570 : 200, color: "transparent" }}>a </Label>
Screen.availWidth

How to make border for container in ZingChart

How to make a border around the chart and title bar over it in ZingChart. I tried with plotarea border but that is around the graph not the complete chart. I want the black border and title but i am only able to make the red border like in this image.
Here is the code
{
"type":"bar",
"plotarea":{
"border-color" : "#0ff",
"border-width" : "2px"
},
"series":[
{
"values":[11,26,7,44,11]
},
{
"values":[42,13,21,15,33]
}
]
}
Accomplishing this look can be achieved by using border attributes for specific sides of different objects. In this case, setting borders for the right and left of the chart, and the bottom of the title.
Here is an example that shows this approach in action, with the key parts for you to use in your own code.
var myConfig = {
type: "bar",
borderRight: "6px solid #000",
borderLeft: "6px solid #000",
borderBottom: "6px solid #000",
title: {
text: "My Title",
height: 40,
borderBottom: "6px solid #000" //needs to be added to title or will be hidden underneath
},
series : [
{
values : [35,42,67,89,25,34,67,85]
}
]
};
zingchart.render({
id : 'myChart',
data : myConfig,
height: 400,
width: 600
});
<html>
<head>
<script src= 'https://cdn.zingchart.com/zingchart.min.js'></script>

I'm on the ZingChart team, so please let me know if you need additional clarification or if this isn't quite what you were looking for.

jQuery slider plugin values not working when fetching from database?

I am doing a module in Prestashop. I have taken fancytransection as slider. In the slider as per documentation I am using all these values to show slider
effect: '', // wave, zipper, curtain
width: 500, // width of panel
height: 332, // height of panel
strips: 20, // number of strips
delay: 5000, // delay between images in ms
stripDelay: 50, // delay beetwen strips in ms
titleOpacity: 0.7, // opacity of title
titleSpeed: 1000, // speed of title appereance in ms
position: 'alternate', // top, bottom, alternate, curtain
direction: 'fountainAlternate', // left, right, alternate, random, fountain, fountainAlternate
navigation: false, // prev and next navigation buttons
links: false // show images as links
Here I am fetching the value of width,height and navigation from the database. So that one can manually set values for all this.
This is working for width and hight that I am getting from the database. But the value for navigation which I am getting either true or false from the database is not working. Everytime it is showing the slider navigation.
Here is the codes that have been used in my .tpl file
<script>
var result_navigation="{$result_navigation}";
var result_width="{$result_width}";
var result_height="{$result_height}";
$.fn.jqFancyTransitions.defaults = {
width: result_width, // width of panel
height: result_height, // height of panel
strips: 10, // number of strips
delay: 5000, // delay between images in ms
stripDelay: 50, // delay beetwen strips in ms
titleOpacity: 0.7, // opacity of title
titleSpeed: 1000, // speed of title appereance in ms
position: 'alternate', // top, bottom, alternate, curtain
direction: 'fountainAlternate', // left, right, alternate, random, fountain, fountainAlternate
effect: '', // curtain, zipper, wave
navigation: result_navigation, // prev next and buttons
links : true // show images as links
};
</script>
Here the value for width as result_width and height as result_height has been working fine. But the value for result_navigation is fetching fine with false or true value. But when I am using that in the code its not working. It is showing the navigation just like the value is true. value for false is not working here. Can someone kindly tell me how to solve this issue? Any help and suggestions will be really appreciable. Thanks
Check the output of {$result_navigation}. As you're using quotes, you're passing a string, which will be seen as true-ish in the js code. You should try something like this:
<script>
// if you use a boolean
var result_navigation = {if $result_navigation}true{else}false{/if};
// if you use `true` or `false` as strings - but that's just weird
var result_navigation = {if $results_navigation == 'true'}true{else}false{/if};
</script>

How do I overlay a busy icon on an image?

I've been looking through SO and Google trying to find a simple way to overlay a busy icon on an existing image. While applying filters and effects to images I'd like to let the user know it's being processed by showing a busy icon on top of the current image.
Do I need to create some sort of overlay image that I show at the start of the process and hide after it's complete using jquery?
Just looking for some ideas from people that might have done this already.
As #Diodeus said, ideally you'd have a wrapper around the image so the issue of positioning the loading image is trivial relative to the image.
If a wrapper is not an option (i.e. you're working with existing, unchangeable mark-up, or wrappers would break your CSS en-masse, it's not the end of the world. You can just plonk the icon over the image, taking advantage of the fact that jQuery makes it easy to get an element's coordinates relative to the body, not only its relative parent/ancestor.
HTML (put this directly in the body, not nested)
<img src='loading.png' id='loading' />
CSS
#loading { position: absolute; display: none; /* other styles, BG img etc */ }
JavaScript (el is the page element concerned)
var loading_img = $('#loading');
function func_called_when_stuff_happening(el) {
var el_coords = $(el).offset();
loading_img.show().css({
left: el_coords.left + (($(el).width() / 2) - (loading_img.width() / 2)),
top: el_coords.top + (($(el).height() / 2) - (loading_img.height() / 2)),
});
}
That will put the icon in the middle of the element.
Generally you absolutely-position an image over the content, in this case your image. You should use a wrapping element like this to get the positioning to work:
<div class="hasLoader">
<img src="...your image..." />
<img class="loading" src="...your LOADING image..." />
</div>
CSS:
.hasLoader {
position:relative;
}
.loading {
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
}
If you need a good loading image, AjaxLoad has a good generator.
Look at this : http://jsfiddle.net/dystroy/M3AnJ/
After 2 seconds an overlay appears, exactly covering the image, with a spinner at center.
Here's how I do it :
javascript :
setTimeout(function(){
var o = $('<div id=overlay></div>');
o.prependTo('body');
var img = $('#test');
var pos = img.offset();
o.css({left:pos.left, top:pos.top, width:img.width(), height:img.height()});
}, 2000);​
CSS :
#overlay {
position: fixed;
background-color:rgba(100,100,100,0.5);
background-image: url("http://dystroy.org/loading.gif");
background-position:center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
};​
I would create a transparent GIF and absolutely position it over the target image w/ JavaScript:
var targetImage = document.getElementById("targImgID");
var ovrlay = document.createElement("IMG");
ovrlay.src = "\my\image\url\overlay.gif";
ovrlay.style.position = "absolute";
ovrlay.style.left = targetImage.offsetLeft + "px";
ovrlay.style.top = targetImage.offsetTop + "px";
document.body.appendChild(ovrlay);
This is prototype code that hasn't been debugged, and leaves out some stuff like getting the absolute position of the target image, centering and setting a z-index for the overlay, and removing the thing w/ removeChild, but it's where I'd start.

<div> of images, retrieved by getJSON, disappear after append()

I'm working on a GMaps application to retrieve images, via getJSON(), and to populate a popup marker.
The following is the markup which I add to the marker dynamically:
<div id="images"></div>
<div id="CampWindow" style="display:none;width:550px;height:500px;">
<h4 id="camp-title"></h4>
<p>View... (all links open in new windows)</p>
<ul>
<li><a id="camp-hp-link" target="_blank" href="">camp home page</a></li>
<li>information: <a id="camp-av-link" target="_blank" href="">availability</a> | <a id="camp-vi-link" target="_blank" href="">vital information</li>
</ul>
<p id="message"></p>
I've been clawing out my eyes and woohoo for the past couple of days, trying to get the images to show inside the CampWindow . Then, I decided to think laterally and to see if the images were being retrieved at all. I then moved the images outside and sure as Bob (Hope), the images were being retrieved and refreshed with every click.
So, I decided to the keep the images outside and then once loaded, append it to the CampWindow . It's not working still; when I append the div to the main CampWindow div, the images won't show. I check in Firebug with the pointer thingy and it shows me the images as empty. I try it again with the images outside and it shows the images. I've tried before append and appendTo with no success. Am I missing something here?
I have no more woohoo to claw out. Please, please help.
marker.clicked = function(marker){
$("#images").html('');
$('#camp-title').text(this.name);
$('#camp-hp-link').attr('href', this.url);
$('#camp-av-link').attr('href', this.url + '/tourism/availability.php');
$('#camp-vi-link').attr('href', this.url + '/tourism/general.php');
// get resort images via jQuery AJAX call - includes/GetResortImages.inc.php
$.getJSON('./includes/GetResortImages.inc.php', { park: this.park_name, camp: this.camp_name }, RetrieveImages);
function RetrieveImages (data)
{
if ('failed' == data.status)
{
$('#messages').append("<em>We don't have any images for this rest camp right now!</em>");
}
else
{
if ('' != data.camp)
{
$.each(data, function(key,value){
$("<img/>").attr("src", value).appendTo('#images');
});
}
}
}
//.append($("#images"));
$("#CampWindow").show();
var windowContent = $("<html />");
$("#CampWindow").appendTo(windowContent);
var infoWindowAnchor = marker.getIcon().infoWindowAnchor;
var iconAnchor = marker.getIcon().iconAnchor;
var offset = new google.maps.Size(infoWindowAnchor.x-iconAnchor.x,infoWindowAnchor.y-iconAnchor.y);
map.openInfoWindowHtml(marker.getLatLng(), windowContent.html(), {pixelOffset:offset});
}
markers.push(marker);
});
When you add the <html> tag to your page it confuses the browser and is most likely the problem. I would suggest to either do as Pointy said and use window.open() to make a popup window (check out this tutorial), or better yet try out one of the many jQuery light box plugins.
I'm not sure what you are doing with the google maps, so I decided to just go with a basic example for you. With this script, if you click on an image inside the #image div, it'll open a popup window the same size as the image.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#images img').click(function(){
var padding = 20;
var w = $(this).width() + padding;
var h = $(this).height() + padding;
var popup = '\
<html>\
<head>\
<link type="text/css" href="popup-style.css" rel="stylesheet" />\
<scr'+'ipt type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></scr'+'ipt>\
</head>\
<body>\
<img src="' + $(this).attr('src') + '">\
</body>\
</html>';
var pop = window.open('','Image View','toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,width=' + w + ',height=' + h + ',scrollbars=1,resizable=1');
pop.document.write(popup);
pop.document.close();
})
});
NOTE: When adding a script tag inside a string, make sure you break up the word "script" otherwise you will get an error.
Update #2:
Ok, since you want to work with what you have, try doing this:
Remove the <html> tag from your campwindow, then position your campwindow using CSS and/or javascript. Add something like:
var w = $(window).width();
var h = $(window).height();
// Add overlay and make clickable to hide popup
// you can remove the background color and opacity if you want to make it invisible
var $overlay = $('<div/>', {
'id': 'overlay',
css: {
position : 'absolute',
height : h + 'px',
width : w + 'px',
left : 0,
top : 0,
background : '#000',
opacity : 0.5,
zIndex : 99
}
}).appendTo('body');
// Position your popup window in the viewport
$('#CampWindow').css({
position: 'absolute',
top : $(window).scrollTop() + 50 + 'px',
left : w/2 - $('#CampWindow').width()/2 + 'px', // centers the popup
zIndex : 100
})
.fadeIn('slow');
// Click overlay to hide popup
$('#overlay').click(function(){
$('#CampWindow').hide();
$(this).remove(); // remove the overlay
})
