Topic awaiting preservation: onresize = reload.. aaarghh.. (Page 1 of 1)

Hi all,

I've created this site: http://www.makingsenseoflife.co.uk using the API from dansteinman.com/dynapi/

My problem is this: When you resize the browser, it reloads the page.. now I'm pretty sure this is required for NN4 to re-work the layers, but surely not for IE4+..??

How can I get round this?

many thanks in advance for your help,

Pete.

Hi,
Same problem happened to me with NN6 when resizing frames (hide/show menu).

I have not found any solution for this problem.

I'm not sure if this is the answer to your question but this is what I use:

// Netscape Resize Fix

if (document.layers) {

  widthCheck = window.innerWidth;

  heightCheck = window.innerHeight;

  window.onResize = resizeFix;

}

function resizeFix() {

  if (widthCheck != window.innerWidth | | heightCheck != window.innerHeight) {

    document.location.href = document.location.href;

  }

}

The important thing is the check to see if it is NS4.x otherwise it will just reload the page in any browser.

FAQs: Emperor

makeLiquid() function in liquid.js file also includes IE in if statement, and that's why it reloads page in IE, too...

Original code:

function makeLiquid() {
if ((is.ns && (winW!=window.innerWidth | | winH!=window.innerHeight)) | | is.ie)
history.go(0)
}

Code without check fo IE:

function makeLiquid() {
if (is.ns && (winW!=window.innerWidth | | winH!=window.innerHeight))
history.go(0)
}

BTW DynAPI from Dan Steinman's web site is really old, you should take a look at new DynAPI2...

We have done so.

Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

Isn't converting to a new API going to be really time-intensive? - I'm hoping I don't have to take this code back to the drawing board...

::EDIT::

Also, Max, when I take the IE part out of that Function, it doesn't adjust the page onresize at all.... :-(

Thanks guys for your help..

InI - don't worry about bitching - I'm *learning* from that scowl! I've looked at this 1K Api, and to be honest, its just confusing me... everything is SO abbreviated...

Max - I've also looked at the sourceforge Api - MUCH bigger than InI's example... but more self-expanatory I think (with a few hours to try to work out what's doing what through it's example pages..)

My Problem With Both Of These:

Is that having spent an hour looking at them, playing a little, and trying to figure them out, I CAN'T seem to see how to create a layer that is x pixels from the right/bottom of the browser window.. (and hopefully moves with browser resize without reloading!)... This is the whole point of needing this API..

can you explain some more? - maybe show me which functions I need to be concerned with...

I appreciate it,

Pete

#thelayer {position:absolute; right:100px; bottom:100px;}

won't work in NN4.x, I'm sure.

I'm sure you're right Slime.. thats why I'm trying to use these cross-browser API's.. I think...

Can no-one help me further?

Pleaaase?

just one final *bump*

newTop = screenHeight-obj.height-100;

newLeft = screenWidth-obj.width-100;

That should work if you just rewrite it to js-code. And then run those lines whenever the browser window is resized.
