MVC razor get div width and check for condition - css

I have a view which should be responsive.My model has two properties leftPosition and topPosition.Now I want if the width of my outer div is less than 714 the topPosition and leftPosition are set to 0 else they will have the values which they receve from model.But how to check that outer div width in mvc razor syntax.I have tried to use javascript and set mvc razor variable but I found that its not possible to do such thing as asp.net is server-side and javascript is client side.
mvc partial view
#foreach (var item in Model)
{
if (Request.Browser.ScreenPixelsWidth < 1000)
{
{item.TopPosition = 0;}
{item.LeftPosition = 0;}
}
Html.RenderPartial(#item.TileName, #item);
}
Instead of this Request.Browser.ScreenPixelsWidth I want to use something like ("#desktopTilesContiner").Width,which I can use in my if condition.In my image I have different tiles - Labs,Pathology,Procedures,Medications.These are set according to their top and left position but on mobile device I just want they come in one column ignoring their top and left position.Something like the image two.

Your Request.Browser.ScreenPixelsWidth < 1000 can be taken care of with css media queries, like so:
#media all and (max-width: 1000px) { *content here* }
I would also recommend to not use position: absolute ( thus negating the need for the whole top / left positioning ) and let the DOM elements flow naturally.

Angular / CSS style change width of row items

I am conceiving a horizontal bar containing items.
They must all be of same width, having the same spacing between them.
They can expand as much as they want vertically (
stackblitz here
Problem:
How to automatically set the width of the row elements? Here I simply put a value that looks good: width:200px.
I want them to have a width dependent on the number of element per row.
What I tried:
Using elementRef in Horizontile (component holding the individual tiles, displaying with *ngFor) to get the width of this element:
currentWidth:number;
constructor(private el:ElementRef) {}
ngAfterViewInit(): void {
this.currentWidth=this.el.nativeElement.offsetWidth;}
it returns 5. (??) Using .width returns nothing. Also this is not recommended, I'd like another solution, less coupling.
I noticed I can make use of width:inherit; in the css of the individual tile component, which allows me to set the style from the horizontal list component.
<app-tile [style.width.px]="0.9*currentWidth/nDisplayedTiles" [tile]="item"></app-tile>
As the currentWidth value is zero, of course it doesn't work;
I tried setting it in % but the inherits css tag keeps the %, which is not the intended effect.
Why is the app-tile styling not cared about if inherits is not set?
I tried using ViewEncapsulation but it had no effect either.
This looks like a trivial matter though: did I just miss something?
You can use the offsetParent (link) width and create a method to return the value on each of the cells and call it in your [style.width.px], something like the following will work.
The HTMLElement.offsetParent read-only property returns a reference to the element which is the closest (nearest in the containment hierarchy) positioned ancestor element.
stackblitz
ngAfterViewInit(): void {
//added this as the compiler was throwing ExpressionChangedAfterItHasBeenCheckedError
setTimeout(() => {
this.currentWidth=this.el.nativeElement.offsetParent.clientWidth;
});
}
getWidth(): number{
let width:number = 0;
//you may need to change this value to better display the cells
let multiplier = 0.7;
width = (this.currentWidth * multiplier) / this.ndisplayTiles;
width = Math.round(width);
return width;
}
<app-tile [class]="'layout-tile'" [tile]="item" [style.width.px]="getWidth()">
</app-tile>

How to create vertical "pages" where each page is height of the viewport using Bootstrap and Angular?

I am using Angular 1.3 and Bootstrap 3.2. I want to create a single webpage that does exactly this: http://lewisking.net. i.e. I want to be able to have vertically stacked divs that are the height of the viewport. I'm thinking of making a directive that watches the browser height/width and updates the style accordingly.
Any other ideas? Any tips for implementing with a directive?
This is the perfect use case for vh and vw.
Simply set:
.wrapper {
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
}
And it will work out the box. If you have to support any old browsers you can easily do a quick JS fall back.
CSS will get you part of the way, but you will need JS to update your 100% height on resize
and scrollTop points etc. And you will also need a way to animate the scroll anyway. This isn't exactly what I would do but it explains the basic idea.
$($window).on('resize', function() {
$scope.winWidth = $(window).width();
$scope.winHeight = $(window).height();
});
...
$scope.getSectionStyle = function(){
return {width:$scope.winWidth, height:$scope.winHeight} ;
}
...
<section id="sectionId" ng-style="getSectionStyle()"
To animate the scroll I just use jQuery like. If you're a angular purist there is $achorScoll but it has no animating at this point so you need to do some extra factory or directive like https://github.com/durated/angular-scroll/
$rootScope.scrollTo = function(_to){
$("html, body").delay(300).animate({scrollTop:_to},{ easing: "easeOutExpo"}, 2000);
}
To get _to you just find the elements offset().top something like :
var offset = $('#sectionId').offset();
$rootScope.scrollTo(offset.top);

Have container fit the width of one of its children, and another children using text-overflow

I'm looking for a way to have a HTML container fit the width of one of its children.
OK I know, this is how it already works by design.
But! I also need another children to collapse with a "text-overflow: ellipsis". Problem is: to apply such a property, you need this children to be in "display: block" mode, which makes it enlarge the container width.
Is there any secret time to achieve what I'm looking for.
Here is a JsFiddle in case you don't get it or want to give it a try.
Edit : by the way, and this is important, I'm targetting specifically Internet Explorer 10.
As watson said, there is no "shrink-to-fit" css rule. So, you have two choices:
Set the size of the .overflow elements manually and statically. So, instead of width:100%, you put width:330px.
Use javascript to resize the .overflow elements dynamically. (I'm assuming you have more than one.) You said you wanted to shrink to the biggest internal div. Let's say you have several divs you might want to shrink to, but you want to shrink to the largest of them. First, you set them all to a class like this:
.good-width{
border: solid 2px salmon;
width:auto; /* necessary for some browsers' offsetWidth */
display:inline-block; /* gives it the width of the contents */
}
And you put javascript something like this at the top of the page:
var goods = document.getElementsByClassName('good-width');
//collect the widest one's width
var maxwidth = 0;
for(var x = 0; x < goods.length; x++) {
if(goods[x].offsetWidth > maxwidth) {
maxwidth = goods[x].offsetWidth;
}
}
//set the width of the overflow divs to match
var overflows = document.getElementsByClassName('overflow');
for(var y = 0; y < overflows.length; y++) {
overflows[y].style.width = maxwidth + 'px';
}
If I misunderstood, and you're trying to match specific overflows to specific good-widths, you should assign each element an id and do things that way:
document.getElementById('overflowID').style.width = document.getElementById('good-widthID').offsetWidth + 'px';
If it were my website, I would actually combine both #1 and #2, in order to have it look at least decent for those who don't have javascript. That is, you set a static width to the overflow things that isn't too far off, then allow the javascript to overwrite it if it can.

is it even possible to expand a (horizontal) list's background with ajax?

I've got a list with list-style-none which needs to be able to add new items to itself via Ajax and have the background expand appropriately when it does. Adding via Ajax is easy, but every solution I try for the background fails me. I don't know if it's even possible; is it? I'm using a grid like this one:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/#display-grid
Both WebKit and Firebug are showing me skinny, empty bars when I hover over the enclosing divs and/or the enclosing ul tag. It appears that the minute you set a list loose with list-style-none and float:wherever, you give up control over its background. But that can't be right.
This is something I've run into a number of times. The problem is that floated elements aren't part of the normal box model, so they don't cause their parent elements to expand unless their parent elements are also floated. So if possible, float the ul or containing div.
Edit:
See quirksmode for another css-only workaround.
Could you provide a sample of your code? Also, why does the list have display:none set?
For instance, should be as simple as this:
HTML:
<ul id="dest"></ul>
JS:
// Simplified example, most likely wrapped in $.ajax
// This is the AJAX response function
function(data, response) {
var items = json.parse(data);
$.each(items, function() {
// Assumes item has a name property
$('#dest').append($('<li>' + this.name + '</li>'));
});
}
Should be just that simple. You shouldn't need the hide the list initially, as you can simply append list items and have the display update appropriately.
Hope that helps.
You need to explicitly set the width and height for the area.
Check out this link for Horizontal Scrolling: http://valums.com/scroll-menu-jquery/
Here is the script:
$(function(){
//Get our elements for faster access and set overlay width
var div = $('div.sc_menu'),
ul = $('ul.sc_menu'),
// unordered list's left margin
ulPadding = 15;
//Get menu width
var divWidth = div.width();
//Remove scrollbars
div.css({overflow: 'hidden'});
//Find last image container
var lastLi = ul.find('li:last-child');
//When user move mouse over menu
div.mousemove(function(e){
//As images are loaded ul width increases,
//so we recalculate it each time
var ulWidth = lastLi[0].offsetLeft + lastLi.outerWidth() + ulPadding;
var left = (e.pageX - div.offset().left) * (ulWidth-divWidth) / divWidth;
div.scrollLeft(left);
});
});
Basically, you need to update the ulWidth and divWidth when you add the new item.
Then just set the background image to repeat horizontally and you should be set.
ul.sc_menu {background:transparent url(image.png) repeat scroll 0 0;height:100px}
Note: You will need to set the height; otherwise you will not see the background because the li are floated.
For dealing with the float element, maybe you should know it's characteristic, gotcha, and how to deal with it.
See the links below, it also have demo, so you can understand the concept:

Autosize Text Area (Multiline asp:TextBox)

I have a MultiLine asp:Textbox (a standard html textarea for those non-asp people) that I want to be auto-sized to fit all it's content only through css. The reason for this is that I want it to be of a specified height in the web browser, with scrolling enabled.
I have implemented a print style sheet however and want all text located in the textarea to be displayed when printed with no overflow hidden.
I can manually specify the height of the textarea in the print.css file problem with this being that the fields are optional and a 350px blank box is not optimal and there is always the possibility of a larger amount of text than this...
I have tried using :
height: auto;
height: 100%;
In IE and Firefox respectively yet these seem to be overridden by the presence of a specified number of rows in the html mark-up for the form which must be generated by .NET when you do not specify a height on the asp:Textbox tag, this seems to only accept numercial measurements such as px em etc...
Any ideas?
What you are asking for (a css solution) is not possible.
The content of the textarea is not html elements, so it can not be used by css to calculate the size of the textarea.
The only thing that could work would be Javascript, e.g. reading the scrollHeight property and use that to set the height of the element. Still the scrollHeight property is non-standard, so it might not work in all browsers.
jQuery or a javascript function to find and make textboxes bigger might be the best solution - at least thats what i found
we use this set of functions and call clean form after the page is loaded (i know this isnt the best solution right here and am working to transfer to a jQuery solution that is more elegant) - one note make sure your textareas have rows and cols specified or it doesnt work right.
function countLines(strtocount, cols)
{
var hard_lines = 1;
var last = 0;
while (true)
{
last = strtocount.indexOf("\n", last + 1);
hard_lines++;
if (last == -1) break;
}
var soft_lines = Math.round(strtocount.length / (cols - 1));
var hard = eval("hard_lines " + unescape("%3e") + "soft_lines;");
if (hard) soft_lines = hard_lines; return soft_lines;
}
function cleanForm()
{
var the_form = document.forms[0];
for (var i = 0, il = the_form.length; i < il; i++)
{
if (!the_form[i]) continue;
if (typeof the_form[i].rows != "number") continue;
the_form[i].rows = countLines(the_form[i].value, the_form[i].cols) + 1;
}
setTimeout("cleanForm();", 3000);
}
If you set rows to be a ridiculously high number the CSS height rule should override it on the screen.
Then in the print stylesheet just set height to auto. This might result in some big blank space where all the available rows haven't been filled up, but at least all text will be visible.
