JavaScript - Change Font Size Mid Line
I want to deviate from using css to designate a font size in one place.
I have a string with a name. This is stored in a variable called "name." I just re-defined name to include district number. Now, it is name=lastname+', '+district; I am appending this string into the html dom. I want the district portion to appear in a slightly smaller font. How can I do this without having to set up a separate <span>? Or can this be done? Similar TutorialsDear All, I need to get JavaScript to change the font size used for a website if Opera is detected. I have been trying this but it hasn't worked: Code: function changeFooter(){ if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera") >= 0) { // if I alert this line the output is 0 document.getElementById("footer").style.fontSize = '0.5em'; }; }; in the head of the html document (as well as the link to the external JavaScript file): Code: <script type="text/javascript"> changeFooter(); </script> I tried using window.onload = changeFooter(); but still no luck. I used the same principle in a different function to change another css property via getElementById and it works beautifully so I am a bit puzzled. I then realised that I actually need to change the value of the font size in the body tag from 100% to 90% when Opera is detected so I changed the script to this: Code: function changeFooter(){ if (navigator.appName == 'Opera') { document.write('<link href="styleOpera.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />'); } else { document.write('<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />'); }; }; But it's still not working. I was hoping that I could benefit from your collective wisdom as I am not sure where I am going wrong with this and several hours spent searching the web for answers have been fruitless so far... My knowledge of JavaScript is not very extensive, I haven't studied it in great depth so perhaps I am making some very silly mistakes here. My pseudo code for this exercise is something like this: Code: detect browser if browser = Opera { change font-size for body to 90% } else { do nothing } alternatively: detect browser if browser = Opera { link to stylesheet1 } else { link to stylesheet2 } Thanks in advance for your help, much appreciated. Kind regards, Cristina Alciati I have a button (in html) and I want the center of the button to be on the center of the line I'm typing on... I was just putting it inside a span and then using this code to move it down. Code: <span style="position:relative; bottom:-10;"> It worked great! But... once I started allowing my users to change the font sizes the buttons got bigger and they needed to be moved down further... if the font size was +1: Code: <font size="+1"><span style="position:relative; bottom:-10;"> if the font size was +6: Code: <font size="+6"><span style="position:relative; bottom:-27.5;"> So is there a way in javascript to detect the current font size and then adjust the span position based off of that? If I can just get the number of the current font size I can do all the rest of the coding, I just need a way to figure out the current font size and put it in a variable... I was thinking of using something like 1.0em so that it stays the same but then we have a basis of measuring off of but I have no clue.. I'm fairly new to javascript. Thanks! Hi, i have this piece of code to change font size in textarea: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function changemysize(myvalue) { var div = document.getElementById("sss"); div.style.fontSize = myvalue + "px"; } </script> And this is html: Code: <select> <option onclick="changemysize(10);" selected="selected">10</option> <option onclick="changemysize(30);">30</option> <option onclick="changemysize(60);">60</option> </select> <textarea id="sss" name="sss"></textarea> This works fine in Opera and FireFox, but doesnt work at all in Google Chrome Is there some "special piece of code" i have to add to be compatibile with Chrome (like css and internet explorer ), or...? Any solutions? OK, so I've written a small timer at http://zeroerror.co.uk/public/cubetimer.php for general purpose timing. My first is that I cannot find a way to accurately time with the format 00:00.00, as the milliseconds seem to run too slowly. My second is that when the font size is set to a large size (for example, 200px or 300px) the timer runs even more slowly (just over half the speed it should). Is there any way to optimise the timer so it runs at a more accurate speed, or is this just a problem with my browser parsing the Javascript in time? Here's the code: Code: function timeIt() { init = 1; if (countMsL == 9) { countMsL = 0; if (countMsU == 9) { countMsU = 0; if (countSecs == 59) { countSecs = 0; countMins++; } else { countSecs++ } } else { countMsU++; } } else { countMsL++; } displayMsL = countMsL; displayMsU = countMsU; if (countSecs < 10) { displaySecs = '0' + countSecs; } else { displaySecs = countSecs; } if (countMins < 10) { displayMins = '0' + countMins; } else { displayMins = countMins; } readout = displayMins + ':' + displaySecs + '.' + displayMsU + displayMsL; timerDisplay.innerHTML = readout; timerActual = setTimeout('timeIt()', 10); } Thanks in advance! Hello, Is there a way to change the font of the text within a document.writeln statement? Here is my code: Code: <pre><script type="text/javascript"> var num1= prompt ("Enter a number between 1 and 5"); try { if(x>5) { throw "Err1"; } else if(x<1) { throw "Err2"; } } catch(err) { if(err=="Err1") { document.writeln("Error!

I want to detect whenever the the iframe is no longer exactly the height i set it to. If a user has CSS turned off for example the iframe will be in default height and width. I want to detect that. This is how you'd normally do it but this only returns the original size (try with 'no style' in Firefox): Code: function getSize() { alert('height is now '+document.getElementById("Iframemain").height) alert('height is now '+document.getElementById("Iframemain").width) } Is it possible?

Table A contains numbers and table B contains numbers. When table B numbers matches some of the numbers in table A, the numbers in table A need to change color. I hope you understand what I mean. I'm using javascript to change the color of certain words in an html document. Right now it uses <font> to make the change. I would like to use a CSS class named "alert" from an external style sheet to make the change. I've tried multiple things but no luck (className="alert", setClassName="alert" ) What is the correct way to replace the font part with a CSS class? Here is the working script: Code: <script type = "text/javascript"> window.onload = function (){ var text = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML; text = text.replace(/disabled/gi, "<font color=red>Disabled</font>" ); text = text.replace(/\blocked/gi, "<font color=red>Locked</font>" ); document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML = text; } </script> Ok my menuBarContainer div wont change width or height...

What I'm struggling with is that I want the browser window to resize automatically to exactly fit the image displayed. I know how to resize a browser window, but I want it done dynamically. Can anyone help me with this? http://www.***.com/5.html i cant get a caption specific to each image to display under the arrows when the image changes. it is especially hard for me because i have to edit the javascript which confuses the **** out of me. it seemed so simple.... thanks for any help ps i cant start an id with a digit? it doesnt seem to cause any problems...why is it stated that this cannot or shouldnot be done? I'm looking for some kind of font veiwer to put on my website where a user enters text in a box, selects the font then the entered text is displayed in the selected font. A bit like the one they use on DaFont.com. I don't know if this is done with javascript or not. Can anyone help a newbie? On my webpage, I dynamically create an iFrame when a button is pressed, then load a html page from within my own domain into the iframe, based on what html page is loaded into a variable. My question is, can I dynamically change the font family of the loaded html page from the javascript of the main page? My code to create the iframe is: Code: function setSubTxt(){ var par = document.getElementById('parentDiv'); par.innerHTML = '<iframe src="'+subTxt+'" style="width: 375px; position: fixed; height: 365px; left: 400px; top: 145px; border=none;" name="subIframe" frameBorder=0></iframe>'; frames['subIframe'].window.location=subTxt; document.subIframe.document.body.style.fontFamily = "Arial"; $('parentDiv').fade(1); } the variable "subTxt" has the url of the html page to be loaded (always on the same domain). The code: Code: document.subIframe.document.body.style.fontFamily = "Arial"; was my attempt to dynamically change the font, but it didn't work. Also, it should be noted that there is no font family set in the html pages which would override this. Thanks |
