Can't measure Clientwidth of Html-Image in Firefox - html

I am trying to place markers on points of interest (poi) on an Image.
These poi have been set in a different software and were stored in a database. The position is determined by their pixel position relative to the original Image. In my webapp the Images are scaled down thanks to panzoom.js (a plugin irrelevant to my question I think). I got the right formula to scale the markerposition, the only Problem is:
In firefox I'm unable to read the Images size in time (In Chrome that's not an Issue).
This is the Code
$(document).ready(function ()
{
var imagectrl = document.getElementById('<%= img.ClientID %>');
var hiddenfield = document.getElementById('<%= hf.ClientID %>');
if (hiddenfield.value == "")
{
var myWidth;
var myHeight;
myWidth = imagectrl.clientWidth;
myHeight = imagectrl.clientHeight;
hiddenfield.value = myWidth + ';' + myHeight;
__doPostBack();
}
});
If I do a postback manually (clicking a button that shows the Image in higher quality) the size gets written correctly.
I've also tried calling an identical function from Code behind when my X or Y are 0, but nothing worked.
What can i do to get the Images size when first loading the page?

Firefox has a different implementation on asynchronous operations like image loading than Chrome. I guess this could be the reason why in Chrome you can access the image right away with $(document).ready, but in Firefox the image source gets loaded after the document is ready - thus clientWidth and clientHeight will be undefined.
Solution: Define an onload event handler on your image and put your logic into that method:
$(document).ready(function ()
{
var imagectrl = document.getElementById('<%= img.ClientID %>');
var hiddenfield = document.getElementById('<%= hf.ClientID %>');
imagectrl.onload = function() {
if (hiddenfield.value == "")
{
var myWidth;
var myHeight;
myWidth = imagectrl.clientWidth;
myHeight = imagectrl.clientHeight;
hiddenfield.value = myWidth + ';' + myHeight;
__doPostBack();
}
}
});

I found a Solution:
No matter what I did, the Image itself can't be measured in time.
So i gave the Image the height of it's surrounding control via CSS and used
AddHandler dvGalerieFill.Load, AddressOf Me.measure_height
in the Page_Load method to react to the loading of the surrounding control.
In "measure_height" I called my Javascript function.
Through the height of the control (wich is the height of my image)
I can calculate the width of my image as height and width rescale with the same factor.

How to (hack and) maximize Google Doc's Drawing Window to full screen?

Friends of the Internets,
Google Docs's Intert Drawing tool works, except for the fact that it wastes half of all 16:9 screens, since it opens a forced-square window that is UNRESIZABLE, cripling all drawings that are intended for LANDSCAPE and/or PORTRAIT format! Think of all the standard formats like A4, A3, 16:9 monitors.
I've been asking this quetsion to super users, to no avail. NOBODY seems to know the answer! I'm resorting to skilled programmers to hack our way into this and am planning on opening a bounty worth 500 as soon as this this becomes available for this question! This is an essential yet overlooked potential portion of Google Docs that has been overlooked.
Any and all solutions that make this work in Google's own browser Chrome will be:
Awarded 500 bounty points
Accepted as answer
I think the simplest way is make a Chrome Extension Plugin for solve this problem. I made an example of how you should work, of course, a rudimentary but for the purpose is ok. Check it on github (Download the zip, unpack, go to chrome extensions and => "Load unpacked", enjoy :D). For more complex solutions you need to use google document api.
Example of code
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
let fullScreenBtn = document.getElementById('fullScreenBtn');
fullScreenBtn.onclick = function (element) {
function modifyDOM() {
function setToFullScreen(iteration, drawer) {
drawer.style.left = '0';
drawer.style.top = '0';
drawer.style.borderRadius = '0';
drawer.style.width = '100%';
drawer.style.height = '100vh';
document.getElementsByClassName('modal-dialog-content')[iteration].style.height = '100vh';
var iframe = drawer.getElementsByTagName("IFRAME")[0]
iframe.width = '100%';
iframe.height = '100%';
var canvas = iframe.contentWindow.document.getElementById('canvas-container');
canvas.style.borderLeft = 'solid 2px red';
canvas.style.borderRight = 'solid 2px red';
}
var drawers = document.getElementsByClassName('modal-dialog');
let drawerCount = drawers.length;
if (drawerCount) {
for (let i = 0; i < drawerCount; i++) {
setToFullScreen(i, drawers[i]);
}
} else {
alert('First off all open the drawer!')
}
return document.body.innerHTML;
}
chrome.tabs.query({ active: true }, function (tabs) {
var tab = tabs[0];
chrome.tabs.executeScript(tab.id, {
code: '(' + modifyDOM + ')();'
}, (results) => {
// console.log(results[0]);
});
});
};
If you want, you can resize the drawing canvas also, but if you do, it make some bugs (like #Anthony Cregan said) ...
You can do with changing the code in this section
var canvas = iframe.contentWindow.document.getElementById('canvas-container');
canvas.style.left = '0';
//canvas.style.position = ''; // works but in resizing elemnts bug
canvas.style.minWidth = '100%';
In action
I acheived this by opening in chrome, pressing F11 (fullscreen), F12 (console). I then navigated the dom in the Elements tab to:
#canvas-container
then set the element styles manually
left: 41px
width: 1787px
EDIT: unfortunately subsequent edits seem to reset the styles you enter manually, there may be a way to enforce these after subsequent draw actions but for now this solution is only good for displaying the end result, not drawing full-screen.
EDIT EDIT: you can enforce these by adding them to the element in the styles sidebar and maintain them with !important but this causes the draw functions to lose their co-ordinates (pen tool draws away from the pointer along the x-axis for instance).
Boom! As you said it's a hack. But this works:
F12->Console->Paste->Enter
let modal = document.getElementsByClassName("sketchy-dialog")[0];
modal.style.width="100%";
modal.style.height="100%";
modal.style.left="0px";
modal.style.top="0px";
let content = document.getElementsByClassName("modal-dialog-content")[0];
content.style.height="100%";
let iframe;
let iframes = document.getElementsByTagName("iframe");
for(let x=0;x<iframes.length;x++)
{
let elem = iframes[x];
if(elem.src.startsWith("https://docs.google.com/drawings"))
{
iframe = elem;
}
}
iframe.style.width="100%";
iframe.style.height="100%";
I use this simple “hack” from console. Just open the drawing modal > press F12 > Click Console > and paste this following js.
modal = document.getElementsByClassName('modal-dialog');
frame = modal[0].getElementsByTagName('iframe');
modal[0].style.width = window.innerWidth+"px";
modal[0].style.height = window.innerHeight+"px";
modal[0].style.top = 0;
modal[0].style.left = 0;
frame[0].width = window.innerWidth;
frame[0].height = window.innerHeight;

dragging and dropping onto a jquery slider - posting position to server

I'm trying to implement dragging an item onto a jquery slider. For example, if the item is dropped onto 86% of the slider I would like to POST this position to the server so the item can be place 86% along the result set on the server.
How do you detect dropping onto a jQuery slider and the percentage POSTed to the server?
Since I'm not so good at explaining things, I made a jsFiddle for you. Although this might not be exactly what your looking for, it should be a good starting point!
Here's the code :
$(function () {
//the draggable object
$("#dragobject").draggable();
//Prepare the slider
var range = 100,
sliderDiv = $("#slider");
// Activate the UI slider
sliderDiv.slider({
min: 0,
max: range,
create : function(){
$(this).find(".ui-slider-handle").hide();
}
});
// Number of tick marks on slider
var position = sliderDiv.position(),
sliderWidth = sliderDiv.width(),
minX = position.left,
maxX = minX + sliderWidth,
tickSize = sliderWidth / range;
//Set slider as droppable
sliderDiv.droppable({
//on drop
drop: function (e, ui) {
var finalMidPosition = $(ui.draggable).position().left + Math.round($("#dragobject").width() / 2);
//If within the slider's width, follow it along
if (finalMidPosition >= minX && finalMidPosition <= maxX) {
var val = Math.round((finalMidPosition - minX) / tickSize);
sliderDiv.slider("value", val);
alert(val + "%");
//do ajax update here to set the position
/*$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: url,
data: val,
success: function () {
//congrats
},
dataType: dataType
});*/
}
}
});
});
And here's the jsFiddle link : jsFiddle example
Hope it helps,
Marc.
SOURCES :
Jquery slider that slides while mouse move,
jQuery UI slider
Since you are using jQuery, lets assume you are using jQuery UI for your drag and drop. First read this: http://api.jqueryui.com/droppable/#event-drop
Then realize that you get the offset position of the dropped element relative to the droppable container as part of the event. This would be where you could compute that into percentage if you needed.
For example, dropped at position left -> 90px of a container that you know to be 100px wide means 90% is your magic number.
Or if you are using native drag and drop, check out this simple edit: http://jsbin.com/ezuke/3283/edit . If you pop a console log on the event in the drop event, you will see that it also exposes the offset of where you dropped it and you could again consume that in your calculation of %.

Get a Google Chart image to fill the width of a DIV

I'm fetching some line charts using Google's Chart API and placing it in a DIV like this:
<div class="chart" style="display:block">
<img src="http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=620x40&cht=lfi&chco=0077CC&&chm=B,E6F2FA,0,0,0&chls=1,0,0&chd=t:27,25,25,25,25,27,100,31,25,36,25,25,39,25,31,25,25,25,26,26,25,25,28,25,25,100,28,27,31,25,27,27,29,25,27,26,26,25,26,26,35,33,34,25,26,25,36,25,26,37,33,33,37,37,39,25,25,25,25">
</div>
I have to pass the height and width of the chart image required and the Google Chart API renders it e.g. chs=620x40. I'd like the chart image to be the with of my parent div. I need to calculate the width and dynamically construct this chart URL so that I get a chart image of the right size. How can I do this?
(I'm not too bright with jQuery and I'm trying to avoid using some bloated libraries)
Thanks
You can use the following JavaScript (with jQuery):
function sizeCharts(){
$(".chart").each(function(){
var w = $(this).width();
var h = $(this).height(); // or just change this to var h = 40
$("<img>").attr("src","http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=" + \
escape(w) + "x" + escape(h) + "&[etc]").appendTo(this);
});
}
$(function(){
sizeCharts();
var shouldResize = true;
$(window).bind("resize",function(){
if(!shouldResize){
return;
}
shouldResize = false;
setTimeout(function(){
sizeCharts();
shouldResize = true;
},1000);
});
});
Replace [etc] with the rest of the url you wish to use. What happens in the above code is it will iterate through everything with the chart class in your page and puts the chart into it with the appropriate size.
If you use a liquid layout (i.e. your site resizes to fill a certain percentage of the screen), then you will also want to include the $(function(){ ... }) bit, which runs the same code when the page is resized. Note the use of timers here, otherwise the same chart will be reloaded for every pixel that the window is resized.

Image has no zoom effect with Fancy Zoom (jQuery Plugin)

I'm having problems using the jQuery Fancy Zoom plugn.
In my page I have the following HTML snippet:
<a href="ProjectImage?ID=#img.ID&Full=true">
<img class="content-image zoom" alt="#img.Name" src="ProjectImage?ID=#img.ID"/>
</a>
On page ProjectImage have:
#{
if (Request["ID"].IsInt())
{
var imgID = Request["ID"].AsInt();
var full = (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request["Full"]) && Request["Full"].IsBool() && Request["Full"].AsBool());
//Data
var db = Database.Open("AMSDArquiteturaConnectionString");
var image = db.QuerySingle("select * from Images where [ID] = #0", imgID);
if (image.MimeType.StartsWith("image"))
{
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "inline; filename=" + image.Name);
}
else
{
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + image.Name);
}
Response.ContentType = image.MimeType;
if (full)
{
Response.BinaryWrite((byte[])image.ImageFull);
}
else
{
Response.BinaryWrite((byte[])image.File);
}
}
}
Note that the same, the low image of the database once the user clicks on the image to show larger picture.
The problem is that this way the plugin does not work.
It simply displays the image in actual size on your browser and loads the whole page again.
If I put an image, it works normally.
I'm getting stuck. Thanks for the help.
Here are a few links from the plugin I used:
http://www.hardleers.org/multimedialab/js/demo.html
http://static.railstips.org/orderedlist/demos/fancy-zoom-jquery/
http://www.dfc-e.com/metiers/multimedia/opensource/jquery-fancyzoom/
This is the javascript I use to configure the plugin
//Set Zoom
$.fn.fancyzoom.defaultsOptions.imgDir='../Images/';
$('.project-imagepreview a').fancyzoom({Speed:400, scaleImg: false, closeOnClick: true});
$('img.zoom').fancyzoom();
I guess your Javascript's 3rd line should be $('img.fanzyzoom').fancyzoom(); as given in the references.
In my case when zoom out the image, It show me picture with alot of meanless symbols.
can show up my image, but plugin can not zoom it. I had tried with fancyboxm lightbox, thickbox....
plugin still work fine if I replace url: web/images?id=..... with web/images/somepicture.png

printing just canvas element on a page

im a little stuck using the canvas element in html5, have scoured the net looking for a workable solution but to no avail!
the main issue is that I want to click a button and send just the canvas element on the page to the printer.
i have tried using toDataUrl() - but this just seems to be resulting in a blank white image which has none of the canvas content!
the other issue i am experiencing is that attempting to initiate any javascript functions using "onClick" attached to a form button seems to be being tempermental at best!
here is my current attempt - this works in the sense that it does open a new window and attempt to send it to printer and it does create a base64 string (tested this using the "dataUrl" output on the second lowest document.write line) but as previously mentioned the image appears to be completely blank! (the canvas itself is definitely filled, both with an imported image and some text)
function printCanv()
{
var dataUrl = document.getElementById('copy').toDataURL(); //attempt to save base64 string to server using this var
document.getElementById('testBox').value = dataUrl; //load data into textarea
//attempt open window and add canvas etc
win = window.open();
self.focus();
win.document.open();
win.document.write('<'+'html'+'><'+'head'+'><'+'style'+'>');
win.document.write('body, td { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;}');
win.document.write('<'+'/'+'style'+'><'+'/'+'head'+'><'+'body'+'>');
((image code is here but site will not let me post it for some reason?))
win.document.write(dataUrl);
win.document.write('<'+'/'+'body'+'><'+'/'+'html'+'>');
win.document.close();
win.print();
win.close();
}
note: the code from "win = window.open()" onwards is currently taken from a tutorial and not my own work!
it is currently being called using <body onload="printCanv";"> - for some reason I could not get this to work at all using a button (little chunk of code below is my attempt which seemed to fail)
<input type="button" id="test" value="click me" onClick="printCanv();"> </input>
apologies is this help request is all over the place! i haven't posted to a site like this before and it didn't like me posting some html/script!
thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer :)
Edit: draw function:
function copydraw() { //function called "copydraw" (could be anything)
var testimage3 = document.getElementById('copy').getContext('2d'); //declare variable for canvas overall (inc paths)
var img3 = new Image(); //declare image variable called "img3"
var testVar = document.getElementById('userIn').value; //take value from userin box. only updating on browser refresh?
img3.onload = function(){ //when image has loaded (img.onload) run this function
testimage3.drawImage(img3,0,0); //draw "img" to testimage
testimage3.font = "30pt 'Arial'"; //font method varies font attrib (weight, size, face)
testimage3.fillStyle = "#000000"; //sets fill color
testimage3.fillText(testVar, 310, 360); //filltext method draws text (xup ydown)
}
img3.src = 'images/liecakeA4.jpg'; //source of image
}
This function works perfectly, it draws the object and adds text from the variable, but for some reason it seems to be preventing me from outputting it as an image. I'm really confused!
I'm not sure exactly what's wrong with your code, I suspect in your current version calling printCanv in the body load event will mean you're trying to print the canvas before it's drawn. Running it off the button should work better, I'm not sure why that wasn't working for you as there's no reason in principle why it shouldn't work.
To arrive at a working version I've modified your code slightly:
function printCanvas(el) {
var dataUrl = document.getElementById(el).toDataURL(); //attempt to save base64 string to server using this var
var windowContent = '<!DOCTYPE html>';
windowContent += '<html>'
windowContent += '<head><title>Print canvas</title></head>';
windowContent += '<body>'
windowContent += '<img src="' + dataUrl + '">';
windowContent += '</body>';
windowContent += '</html>';
var printWin = window.open('','','width=340,height=260');
printWin.document.open();
printWin.document.write(windowContent);
printWin.document.close();
printWin.focus();
printWin.print();
printWin.close();
}
This works for me in the Firefox 4.0 nightly.
One addition to the accepted-best-answer: It doesnt work here with Chrome 17.0.942.0 winvista, because the print-preview-dlg is shown within the website itself and printWin.close() will close the dlg too.
So printWin.close() must be delayed or initiated by the user, but those are no good solutions.
It would be best, if chrome printdlg could have a callback, sth. one knows, printing is done, and can close the window. If this is possible is another question.
