I'm pretty new to JS and programming altogether so I'm sorry in advance if the explanation is a little sloppy, but I'll try to make it as clear as possible.
So what I'm trying to do is have a JS code that reads and displays (in an HTML page) photos from a PC folder, makes them clickable and on the click it redirects you to a page with the same photo but in high resolution.
Now, I have this piece of code that displays the said pictures, but the thing is I don't seem to be able to figure out how to "connect" it to the pictures and make them clickable. What makes it more difficult is that I'm trying to make all of this code dynamic (as you can see I've done in the below code), so I would like not to have any hardcoded titles of pictures and so on.
var index = 1;
var tempImg = new Image();
tempImg.onload = function(){
appendImage();
}
var tryLoadImage = function(index){
tempImg.src = 'img/' + index + '.jpg';
}
var appendImage = function(){
var img = document.createElement('img');
img.src = tempImg.src;
document.body.appendChild(img)
tryLoadImage(index++);
}
tryLoadImage(index);
Any help is very much appreciated, thank you very much!
You can make your images clickable by adding an onclick function to them. Try something like this:
var appendImage = function(){
var img = document.createElement('img');
img.src = tempImg.src;
img.onclick = e => {
// do something you want to show the full picture like this maybe
var el = document.getElementById("fullpictureid");
if (el && e.target.src) {
el.src = e.target.src;
// so that it sets "src" in <img id="fullpictureid"> for example
}
};
document.body.appendChild(img)
tryLoadImage(index++);
}

I have a question of document.getElementById().src under jQuery Template.
Firstly I created an array of 5 pictures(only the first element was depicted) as showed below:
var Image = function(src){
this.src = src;
}
var images = [];
images[0] = new Image("images/hedgehog.jpg");
Then I created a function which includes passing the src of the array to an ID(only relevant code was depicted):
document.getElementById("theQ").src = images[0].src;
The final part is the place expected to present the picture, but it didn't work:
<p style="text-align:center;" id="theQ"></p>
The navigation is correct as I could see the picture when I hover on the URL in text editor. Thank you for the help!
A paragraph is not an image. You can't attach a source to it. And it makes no sense to shadow the image constructor, just use the native one:
const img = new Image();
img.src = "images/hedgehog.jpg";
Now you can easily append that image to the dom:
document.getElementById("theQ").appendChild(img);
Since you already use jQuery in your template.
var Image = function(src){
this.src = src;
}
var images = [];
images[0] = new Image("https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/woman-wearing-yellow-floral-top-116695890.jpg");
$("#theQ").append("<img src=\""+images[0].src+"\" width=\"150\" />");
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<p style="text-align:center;" id="theQ"></p>
I have created a webpage that basically displays 2 images side by side.
It has a "download" button, which triggers a vanilla Javascript function, which creates a <canvas> HTML element and concatenates the two images inside of it. It then creates a link with the base64-encoded result image as href and clicks on it:
<a download="image.png" id="dllink" href="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABQAAAAMnCAYAAABhnf9DAAAgAElEQVR4nOzdR48kD3rn96j03pfv6qo21dVd3qT3JryP9Jll281..."></a>
Here is what the function I'm using looks like:
/**
* Create canvas, draw both images in it, create a link with the result
* image in base64 in the "href" field, append the link to the document,
* and click on it
*/
function saveImage() {
// Get left image
var imgLeft = new Image();
imgLeft.setAttribute('crossOrigin', 'anonymous');
imgLeft.src = "imgleft/" + idxImageShownLeft + ".jpg";
imgLeft.onload = function() {
// Once the left image is ready, get right image
var imgRight = new Image()
imgRight.setAttribute('crossOrigin', 'anonymous');
imgRight.src = "imgright/" + idxImageShownRight + ".jpg";
imgRight.onload = function() {
// Once the right image is ready, create the canvas
var canv = document.createElement("canvas");
var widthLeft = parseInt(imgLeft.width);
var widthRight = parseInt(imgRight.width);
var width = widthLeft + widthRight;
var height = imgLeft.height;
canv.setAttribute("width", width);
canv.setAttribute("height", height);
canv.setAttribute("id", "myCanvas");
canv.setAttribute('crossOrigin', 'anonymous');
var ctx = canv.getContext("2d");
// Draw both images in canvas
ctx.drawImage(imgLeft, 0, 0);
ctx.drawImage(imgRight, widthLeft, 0);
// Create PNG image out of the canvas
var img = canv.toDataURL("image/png");
// Create link element
var aHref = document.createElement('a');
aHref.href = img;
aHref.setAttribute("id", "dllink");
aHref.download = "image.png";
// Append link to document
var renderDiv = document.getElementById("render");
renderDiv.replaceChild(aHref, document.getElementById("dllink"));
// Click on link
aHref.click();
}
}
}
My problem is that this works fine on Firefox, but not on Chrome.
After a bit of investigating, I realized that by setting a breakpoint before the aHref.click(); line in Chrome, it worked fine. I think that it means that the aHref.click(); is called before the <a href="data:image/png;base64,...></a> is ready to be clicked, but I don't know for sure.
I couldn't find a duplicate of this topic. What keywords should I use just to be 100% sure?
Am I investigating in the right direction?
Is there an event I could rely on in order to call aHref.click(); only when it is ready?
You could wrap it in an init function that gets called when the window completes loading.
function init() {
aHref.click();
}
window.onload = init;
Its similar to the vanilla equivalent of jQuery's .ready() method.
aHref , document.getElementById("dllink") appear to be same element ? Though "dllink" has not yet been appended to document when .replaceChild called ?
Try substituting
renderDiv.appendChild(aHref);
for
renderDiv.replaceChild(aHref, document.getElementById("dllink"));
I want to show a remote image on my page. I use Bootstrap 2.3.2 Carousel. All the information comes from another web site's RSS feed. I get data into a div like the following:
...
<div id="newsItem-<?php echo $i;?>" class="item" data-src="<?php echo $feed[$i]->image; ?>" data-alt="<?php echo $feed[$i]->title; ?>">
</div>
...
The images takes too long to load. Page is loaded about 15 seconds. So I have decided to load images after the page loading finished.
There could be various dimensions of the pictures to be displayed.
I want to show the largest existing one.
For each news item, all the images may have different but similar dimensions such as 1024x768, 620x350, 528x350, 527x350.
I have written a jQuery script to achieve this but something is wrong.
jQuery(function () {
jQuery("div[id^='newsItem-']").each(function () {
var r = jQuery(this).attr("data-src");
var r620 = r.replace(".jpg", "-620x350.jpg");
var r527 = r.replace(".jpg", "-527x350.jpg");
var r1024 = r.replace(".jpg", "-1024x678.jpg");
var r528 = r.replace(".jpg", "-528x350.jpg");
var altImg = jQuery(this).attr("data-alt");
if (pictureExists(r1024)){
r = r1024;
}
else if (pictureExists(r620)){
r = r620;
}
else if (pictureExists(r528)){
r = r528;
}
else if (pictureExists(r527)){
r = r527;
}
jQuery(this).prepend("<img src='" + r + "' alt='" + altImg + "' />");
jQuery(this).removeAttr("data-alt");
jQuery(this).removeAttr("data-src");
});
});
function pictureExists(url) {
var img = new Image();
img.src = url;
if (img.height !== 0) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
I want to display the largest existing picture in the carousel.
You cannot know the height/width of the image until its loaded. So its an async process.
In pictureExists function try to do it in this way:
/ Create new image
var img = new Image();
// Create var for image source
var imageSrc = "http://example.com/blah.jpg";
// define what happens once the image is loaded.
img.onload = function() {
// Stuff to do after image load ( jQuery and all that )
// Within here you can make use of src=imageSrc,
// knowing that it's been loaded.
};
// Attach the source last.
// The onload function will now trigger once it's loaded.
img.src = imageSrc;
If you want to use the above way then you will have to implement promise structure to tackle the async nature of the image load to fetch the height/width
Or you can use this small plugin.

I've been working on a flowchart type program that changes various parts of the html each time a new question is posed (this question is represented by the 'state' variable below), things like Title, description and images.
Currently, my HTML for the images is:
<a id="imageLink" target="_blank" href=""><img class= 'right' id= 'imageBox' style ='max-height:50%;' src='' /></a>
<h3 id ='imageBoxText' ></h3>
and the image link and the legend for the image are found in imageArray which looks something like this:
imageArray = {'questionOne': ['www.link to image.com,'Legend for image']}
In this case 'questionOne' would be 'state'.
So far, I can load a single image asynchronously using:
document.getElementById("imageBox").src = "http://www.ktcagency.com/img/loader.gif"; // load spinner
var img = new Image(); // load image asynchronously
var newsrc = imageArray[state][0];
img.onload = function () { // onload handler
document.getElementById("imageBox").src = newsrc;
};
img.src = newsrc;
I also add the description and link to the image while I'm at it:
document.getElementById("imageLink").setAttribute('href',imageArray[state][0])
document.getElementById('imageBoxText').innerHTML = imageArray[state][1];
OK, so now what I need to do is write a function that can do this for multiple images, side by side, reading from a modified imageArray that looks like:
imageArray = {'questionOne': [['www.linktoimage1.com,'Legend for image1'],['www.linktoimage2.com,'Legend for image2']]}
The code should be able to handle up to three images, but I certainly wouldn't mind if it could do any more.
I tried to do it using a table to represent the images and used a for loop with the code from earlier. The image would never load, stuck on the spinner for ever and the images would all bunch up on one side of the screen.
Any help appreciated, thanks very much.
Well, I think I see what you're trying to do.
It sounds like you're trying to make a slideshow of some kind.
This is an example of how I would have done it.
Here's the jsfiddle so you can see what's going on. http://jsfiddle.net/VodkaTonic/4KWLr/
(function () {
var imageArray = {
link: [['http://i.imgur.com/7OfqRbF.jpg', 'http://i.imgur.com/AHbc6zO.jpg','http://i.imgur.com/gW144OQ.jpg'],['http://i.imgur.com/v0V8hrB.jpg', 'http://i.imgur.com/9l40vIT.png','http://i.imgur.com/ZXYUttz.png']],
label: [['Legend for image1','Legend for image2', 'Legend for image3'],['Legend for image4','Legend for image5', 'Legend for image6']]
},
doc = document,
question = 0,
img = doc.getElementsByClassName('images'),
links = doc.getElementsByClassName('links'),
label = doc.getElementsByClassName('label'),
button = doc.getElementById('button');
function add (state) {
var arr = imageArray.link[state],
arr2 = imageArray.label[state];
arr.forEach(function(value,index,array) {
img[index]['src'] = value;
links[index]['href'] = value;
});
arr2.forEach(function(value,index,array) {
label[index]['innerHTML'] = value;
});
question++;
}
window.addEventListener('load', add(question), false);
button.addEventListener('click', function () {
add(question);
}, false)
}());
Hello I want to fadeOut image, and then do fadeIn with a new one, so I wrote a simple code, but something goes wrong, because when .photo img fadesOut, then fadesIn this same photo, but after, a few second its changes because of new "src", but even if browser didn't load a new image, the old one shound't show, becuase src is changed, but it shows, and after a second, maybe two changes to the new one. Can somebody tell me what's wrong?
var dimage = $next.children("img").attr("rel");
$(".photo img").fadeOut("slow", function () {
$(".photo img").attr("src", dimage);
$(".photo img").fadeIn("slow");
});
This may be because the image has to load after the src is altered.
Consider putting the image in a tag, then setting the css property to display:none. This way the image will preload in the browser before your script runs and will be available when it does.
you aren't giving the new image enough time to load.
function loadImage (src) {
return $.Deferred(function(def){
var img = new Image();
img.onload = function(){
def.resolve(src);
}
img.src = src;
}).promise();
}
var dimage = $next.children("img").attr("rel");
var imageLoadedDef = loadImage(dimage);
$(".photo img").fadeOut("slow", function () {
def.done(function(src){
$(".photo img").attr("src", src);
$(".photo img").fadeIn("slow");
});
});
the problem as highlighted is about images not ready for display when you call them, so the solution is to preload them before starting the slideshow, create a function with an array of images path
function preLoad(){
var imgs = {'test1.jpg', 'test2.jpg', 'test3.jpg'};
var img = document.createElement('img');
for(var i = 0; i < imgs.leght; i++){
img.src = imgs[i]; //all images gets preloaded at this stage
}
startSlider(); //here you will do your code
}
