Resizing cflayout based on browser window

How can I base the cflayout on the browser window's visible area? Every time I resize the window my controls are being displayed off screen with no scroll bars to get to them. Ideally I'd like the layout to be dynamic enough to resize gracefully without needing the scroll bars. Thanks

The way I personally do this is to set the entire page into one large Table, with a width of 100%.
If you are already using tables within your code, then you need to be sure you don't have any large width= values set. Also, if your site has fancy graphics, you need to find somewhere on the page to allow some 'stretching' of those graphics.
Here's a quick example of a page that will automatically adjust based on screen size (remember, just because they are viewing at 1280 x 1024 resolution doesn't automatically mean that their browser is maximized.. it could be reduced/resized on their screen to smaller dimensions - this code will fix that)
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%">
<tr><td bgcolor="black"><font color="white"><b>This could be a navigation area<Br>Just putting it here for demonstration</b></font></td>
<td width="100%" bgcolor="silver"><font color="black"><b>This could be the main area, and since it has a width of 100% it will stretch horizontally based on how much actual screen space is available on the viewers browser window</b></font></td>
<td align="right"><font color="navy">This is a right column, and since it is set to 'align=right' it will allow the center column to strech back and forth</font></td></tr></table>
By experimenting with setting the width= attribute on different columns, you can get different results. Just remember to set the main table width at 100%, and be sure t have at least one TD that has a width of 100% and you should be good to go

Site that automatically resizes images based on browser size

Hi. I need to make a site that automatically adjusts the size of the images based on the browser size, but keeps the image quality. Does anyone know how to do this without using flash?
I basically want the site to perform like [http://www.shotview.com/|http://www.shotview.com/] . Thanks for your help.

first time accessing website get screen size info using javascript and then redirect to next page and store screen size info into session. then, when requesting pictures from browser use custom servlet, mapped to image extension, that renders images to different resolution.

Resize animation in browser window with toolkit for createjs

Hi. I'.m a flash newbie with little coding experience. I have an animation that I created in flash that I exported to html5 with toolkit for createjs. It looks good, however I would like to have the animation be proportionally sized to the browser window, so that it can be viewed on a variey of devices. My iPhone seems to adjust the size, however when I view it on the desktop, the bottom gets cut off, and remains the same size when I resize the browser window. Is there any way to have the animaton resize according to the browser window?
Thanks
Tom

Great news! I used media queries inside of CSS and got my home page to work on a nice 1280x720 effortlessly However, i have a slideshow script that has the image running 1000x400 and I am wanting to know if there is a way to access the variable of this script:
// JavaScript Document
var mygallery=new fadeSlideShow({
    wrapperid: "slideshow", //ID of blank DIV on page to house Slideshow
    dimensions: [1000, 400], //width/height of gallery in pixels. Should reflect dimensions of largest image
    imagearray: [
    ["slideshow/XavierHeadSlide1.jpg"],
        ["slideshow/XavierHeadSlide2.jpg"], ["slideshow/XavierHeadSlide3.jpg"]
         //<--no trailing comma after very last image element!
    displaymode: {type:'auto', pause:1500, cycles:0, wraparound:false},
    persist: false, //remember last viewed slide and recall within same session?
    fadeduration: 2000, //transition duration (milliseconds)
    descreveal: "ondemand",
    togglerid: ""
I want to access the "dimensions" variable in CSS so I can modify the size without having to create a second image that is slighty smaller... I tried setting the slideshow DIV as a CSS class, but it just simply cut off the image.
thanks a bunch for all of your help on this matter.

Generated RH output wraps to fit browser window

Hello All,
Is there a way in which generated RoboHelp output, after it
is applied to a piece of software, can be altered or
“fixed” so that it does not wrap text?
For example, in my particular case, when a user selects the
Help icon from the company software, the help appears in a separate
browser window. Depending on the default size of an individual
user's browser window, the content of the help will be
“wrapped” accordingly.
However, if a user has a smaller default browser window , the
text is “smushed” to fit the window, but the graphicn
will go off the screen. A similar result occurs if the window
larger or is maximized. The text will just go on and on and on and
tear apart the formatting.
So my question is this: is there a way to make the help
window open to a default size, specifically one that is capable of
maintaining the formatting so the user does not have to resize his
or her browser window in order to see the help content clearly?
Also, does anyone know if RH is just an inherently bad fit
with browsers other than IE? For users on non-windows based
computers, all RH output looks atrocious. All formatting is pushed
to the left margine, all styles are suddenly null and void. I
assume there is no way around this issue, but if anyone has any
ideas, they would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Diane
P.S. I wanted to attach pictures to this post to illustrate
what I am talking about, but I saw no obvious way to do so.
Hopefully my text is clear enough.

Hi All,
I apologize for unearthing this old topic, but now seamless
RH Firefox output has become a priority for the company.
Elisa (or anyone that may know); you mentioned a workaround
between the .css I created and the RH generated ns.css:
“Workaround - take a copy of projectX_ns.css. Compare
it with projectX.css, paying special attention to indent settings.
Fix any left indents that don't look right. Copy the adjusted
projectX_ns.css into your output folder. Take a look under some
different browser combinations.”
I am hardly savvy when it comes to the “behind the
scenes” workings of RH and the coding. I have found and
accessed the .css files in question, but what exactly, am I looking
for on terms of “indent settings?” I see
“margin” mentioned multiple times, but beyond that I
have no clue what I should be looking for.
My goal is to see if I can determine the cause, and thusly
remedy the issue, behind my RH WebHelp output left-justifying all
my bullets and numbering. I am using the latest version of RH with
applicable updates, and I am testing the Firfox output with the
latest versions and updates as well.
Also, I noticed while researching this problem, that some of
the topics within my project that share the same .css file as all
the others, do not manifest the left-justify issue in Firefox
output. I am still in the process of deciphering this mystery.
Any input would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Diane

How do you make html page resize to fit any browser

Hi All,
How do you make the html page resize to fit any browser/window both vert and horizontally.
Thanks!
Randy

Horizontally by using percentage width instead of pixels. This is called a liquid layout.
http://alt-web.com/TEMPLATES/CSS2-Liquid-Page.shtml
Vertical resizing is irrelevant in web design. Page content determines page height. The more content, the longer the page. The less content, the shorter the page. Scrollbars appear when needed.

How to make page stay in the middle of browser window?

I was messing around with the CSS code that changes your
pages width based on browser window but it really distorted my
graphics badly so that was out, but is there a way to set it so
everything stays centered? I 'assumed' I could just set all my
tables and layers to centered but it doesn't seem to effect the
tables themselves only the things within the tables. Is there any
other way? (besides nesting every single thing in a single table,
which perhaps I should have done but probably too late for that
now).

Yes, you can add a div with left and right margin set to
auto.
Then, place everything inside this wrapper div.
Set its position attribute to relative.

Refreshing problem on browser window resizing

Hi
I know this problem is quite common and a lot of people tried to solve this. So meybe someone could give me some info how to make an applet to be properly shown after browser resizing? Now it looks awfull, the part with buttons and textfields seems to be repainted correctly but sometimes is covered by Image object that is supposed to be in one place - but seems to travel around the page during resizing and moving browser window from one side of the screen to the another.
Can anybody help me, please?

I cannot move, resize, minimize, or close the browser window despite everything inside the window still working.

I don't know what details are needed so I'll just rattle off anything that I can think of.
I am running an Asus laptop with windows 7. I have never had an issue with firefox in the past (beyond the usual freezing and some obvious issues with pop up ads that are par for the course with firefox since adblocker never does what it says.... not really. Lets be honest.) I am using Avast for my virus protection and it is also up to date.
My issue started about an hour ago when firefox stopped responding. The video I had playing kept going but I could not interact with anything. Assuming the program froze for the billionth time that week I rebooted it. This has always solved freezing issues in the past. Now, however, firefox is doing something new.
I can access the menus and almost everything on the window itself except for the minimize/maximize/close buttons, I cannot move the window at all, and I cannot manually resize it. I have also noticed that although videos will play, I can only click on their buttons if there is another smaller window overtop of firefox. The video controls will only appear that way and when I click them firefox naturally comes to the front and the video responds with the button I used but the buttons are gone again and I cannot resume playing without the smaller window back in front to make the buttons show again.
It's as if half of firefox is frozen while the other half is still running somehow.
I have no themes that could be causing this. Literally none. I only use firefox for the things that can no longer be opened in Opera so I have no need for any theme beyond default. The only addons I installed on purpose were adblockers (lord knows why. they don't DO anything.) though several other random things seem to have been installed over time to aid in one thing or another. Various plugins and players and versions of java, that sort of thing. But I have everything (and i mean EVERYTHING) in the addon menu disabled.
I have tried booting it up in safe mode (the program, not windows) and the problem is still there except now it won't show the menu bar at all unless I press the alt key first and even then it wont let me actually click on anything in the menu bar. When I try the whole bar vanishes. I had to close firefox with the task manager.
Rebooting will fix the issue for about 15 seconds before it all comes back.
Any attempts at updating have failed as it says I am already up to date on everything so I don't know what its issue is.
It's not an urgent issue right now as most of what i need to do can be done on the half screen window I am using, but some of my sites have buttons that literally vanish in anything but full screen and I imagine that this will be a much greater annoyance within a few days.

After following all the instructions given, I poked around safe websites as suggested. I am not sure why this step was needed, as websites functioned rather normally before I came here but I did it anyways and found that the websites still work the same as they did. I can still do everything I used to be able to do. I see no change in the function of the websites.
However, I still cannot resize, close, or move the browser window. I don't know if Netflix is a safe site or not (too many conflicting opinions on that one from the masses) so I don't know if the issue with the vanishing buttons is still there, but all the issues I had with the browser window itself is still there.
Even in safe mode the browsers three window control buttons on the top right refuse to let me use them and the window itself will refuse to be moved around.

How do I stop text from resizing to the size of the browser window

Hello there,
I am using a DW CS3 template that has a sidebar div and a
main content div - the text in the main content div keeps resizing
to the size of the browser window - I don't want the text to resize
if I make the browser window smaller - I want it to remain the
same. I am trying to float the text right and input a width but
this is not working for me. What am I doing wrong?
HELP!
Many thanks!

>>What am I doing wrong?
Not giving us a link to the uploaded page so we can see the
page, how it
behaves and the actual code.
Until we see that you are unlikely to get a definitive
answer. The problem
is unlikely as you state it because text itself is never
dependant on the
browser viewport size.

How do I easily resize firefox browser window in Vista?

I need to resize browser window so I can see a part of my desktop.

Thanks for your ongoing help. (And if this winds up being a duplicate post, my apologies in advance.)
I typed about:synch-log into the address bar and got an exclamation point inside a triangle next to a boldfaced message that reads "The address isn't valid."
Below that, in a box:
The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded
Then a line then two bullet points
* Web address are usually written like http://www.example.com
* Make sure that you're using forward slashes (i.e. /)

How can you stop slideshow from resizing the browser window iframe ?

Does anyone know where the code is that causes the iweb slideshow to resize the browser window when it is opened?
When it is placed on a page using <iframe src="http://homepage.mac.com/coreydee/slideshow/index.html" width="760" height="580" scrolling="no" style="border:none;" frameborder="0"></iframe> It resizes the browser window when it starts.

The iWeb .Mac slideshow, which you previously tried to add in an iframe, does have a function to resize the window. But it would not cause the whole window to resize, just page within the iframe so you would never know.
However, the autoviewer one you are using should not do this.

Regarding resizing of browser window

Hi,
I am working on getting my UI to resize accordingly if the user resizes their browser window on the desktop. I know how it is done using css and using javascript, but what I want to know is if there is any SAPUI5 specific functionality to support this. Specifically I wanted to know if individual UI components could detect size changes so I could implement some different logic in their case. I have so far not been able to find any such functionality. If anyone can share info regarding this it would be great.
Thanks

Hi Adarsh,
you said: Specifically I wanted to know if individual UI components could detect size changes so I could implement some different logic in their case.
No, that's not possible. The only way to detect and handle the resize of the screen with JavaScript is via window object:
window.onresize = function(event) {
// your code

Itunes browser window won't resize to enable license agreement for ipod

Hi,
hope someone can help me I am new to itunes and just purchased an ipod classic.Every thing is fine except I can't resize the itunes browser window to be able to read and accept the license agreement to be able to use my ipod.
The document seems too large for the browser window.I know there must be an accept button to click on to agree to the terms,but it is not visible.I can read the agreement of terms.But I can only see the cancel and save buttons on left at the bottom of screen.There is no sliding bar to access the right hand side of the page/doc/browser window.
I've tried looking in preferences,itunes help doc. and stretching the window using the mouse, to no avail.
Thanks for your time.
Any help would be appreciated.

Resizing Browser Window

Hi,
I'm looking to publish my site and have the browser window
resize (or stay resized at) the document size (1000x674).
I thought i set the proper parameters in DW (i have a SWF
inside of it), but there seems to be extra white space on the right
side of the published document...(this seems to be outside of the
1000x674 default size)
i may be missing a line of code somewhere.
any help would be appreciated...you can see what i mean at
www.tunnel76.com
thank you in advance.

Why not just center the page content? Users tend to get
annoyed when the
browser gets adjusted without their consent.
