Justify images inside div using jquery

I have a centered div that takes 80% of the width of window, inside that div have a gallery images .container img {min-width:200px;} using jquery I want to make the images justified depending on the width of the .container, the code that worked for me is this :
$(window).on("resize", function(){
// get the width of the container
var albumContentWidth = $(".container").width();
// as we have in our css the min-width of image is 200
// see how many image can fit in each row
var imagePerRow = parseInt(albumContentWidth / 200);
// set the width of image using calc
$(".container img").css("width", "calc(100% / #{imagePerRow})");
});
The code above works fine, but for some reasons.. I don't want to use calc() instead I want to calculate this using pixels, so what I did :
$(window).on("resize", function(){
// get the width of the container
var albumContentWidth = $(".container").width();
// as we have in our css the min-width of image is 200
// see how many image can fit in each row
var imagePerRow = parseInt(albumContentWidth / 200);
// instead of using calc() divide the width of container by the possible number of images per row
var imageWidth = (albumContentWidth / imagePerRow).toFixed(2);
// set the width of image using calc
$(".container img").css("width", imageWidth);
});
However this is not working and the images don't get justified correctly when I resize !!

'Media-queries' for javascript - different code for different viewport height/widths

The problem
I'm using javascript to calculate widths of elements to achieve the layout I'm after. The problem is, I don't want to load the code on smaller screen sizes (when the screen width is less than 480px for example). I'd like this to work on load and on browser/viewport resize.
I'd consider small screen devices 'the default' and working up from there. So, none of the following script is called by default, then if the browser width is greater than 480px (for example), the following script would be called:
The code
$(document).ready(function() {
//Get the figures width
var figure_width = $(".project-index figure").css("width").replace("px", "");
//Get num figures
var num_figures = $(".project-index figure").length;
//Work out how manay figures per row
var num_row_figures = Math.ceil(num_figures / 2);
//Get the total width
var row_width = figure_width * num_row_figures;
//Set container width to half the total
$(".project-index").width(row_width);
x = null;
y = null;
$(".project-index div").mousedown(function(e) {
x = e.clientX;
y = e.clientY;
});
$(".project-index div").mouseup(function(e) {
if (x == e.clientX && y == e.clientY) {
//alert($(this).next().attr("href"));
window.location.assign($(this).next().attr("href"));
}
x = y = null;
});
});
// Drag-on content
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('#main').dragOn();
});
The extra bit
The slight difference on larger screens is to do with the browser/viewport height. This is in regards to the line:
var num_row_figures = Math.ceil(num_figures / 2);
You can see once the calculation has a value, it divides it by 2. I only want this to happen when the browser/viewport height is above a certain amount - say 600px.
I'd be happy with this being the 1st state and then the value is divided by 2 if the height is greater than 600px if it's easier.
Can anyone help me/shed some light on how to manage my script this way. I know there's media queries for managing CSS but I can't seem to find any resources for how to manage javascript this way - hope someone can help.
Cheers,
Steve

You can use window.matchMedia, which is the javascript equivalent of media queries. The matchMedia call creates a mediaQueryList object. We can query the mediaQueryList object matches property to get the state, and attach an event handler using mediaQueryList.addListener to track changes.
I've added an example on fiddle of using matchMedia on load and on resize. Change the bottom left pane height and width (using the borders), and see the states of the two queries.
This is the code I've used:
<div>Min width 400: <span id="minWidth400"></span></div>
<div>Min height 600: <span id="minHeight600"></span></div>
var matchMinWidth400 = window.matchMedia("(min-width: 400px)"); // create a MediaQueryList
var matchMinHeight600 = window.matchMedia("(min-height: 600px)"); // create a MediaQueryList
var minWidth400Status = document.getElementById('minWidth400');
var minHeight600Status = document.getElementById('minHeight600');
function updateMinWidth400(state) {
minWidth400Status.innerText = state;
}
function updateMinHeight600(state) {
minHeight600Status.innerText = state;
}
updateMinWidth400(matchMinWidth400.matches); // check match on load
updateMinHeight600(matchMinHeight600.matches); // check match on load
matchMinWidth400.addListener(function(MediaQueryListEvent) { // check match on resize
updateMinWidth400(MediaQueryListEvent.matches);
});
matchMinHeight600.addListener(function(MediaQueryListEvent) { // check match on resize
updateMinHeight600(MediaQueryListEvent.matches);
});

#media screen and (max-width: 300px) {
body {
background-color: lightblue;
}
}
So i searched a bit and came up with this example from w3 schools .http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/tryit.asp?filename=trycss3_media_example1
i think this is something you are trying to achieve.
For pure js , you can get the screen width by screen.width

resize image two or three time via javascript

could we do this with javascript?
consider we have a x * y px div
(width=x and hight=y)
and user uploads image in any size, I want to find a way this image not to be Deformed in Container.
I have a senario but not sure it's possible via javascript or jquery in addition of css. you can see my senario below but I dont know how can I write correctly in javascript
var ContainerWidth=document.getElementById("Container").width;
var ContainerHight=document.getElementById("Container").height;
var imgWidth = document.getElementById("myImg").width;
var imgHight =document.getElementById("myImg").height;
if imgWidth > ContainerWidth
{
myimg.style.width = ContainerWidth;
var newHightOfmyimg= myimg.style.height = 'auto';???????????????????????? the main problem: how can I know what is this auto height in px and how can set it in a var?
}
if newHightOfmyimg > ContainerHight
{
UltimateimgHight= ContainerHight;
UltimateimgWidth=auto;
}

firstly to get the style of a property using javascript, you should do the following
var containerWidth = document.getElementById('Container').style.width;
var containerHeight = document.getElementById('Conatiner').style.height;
var imgWidth = document.getElementById('myImg').style.width;
var imgHeight= document.getElementById('myImg').style.height;
that will return the style set by the CSS itself.
secondly, auto is the original width / height of the element. if you want your image or any element to get it's parent's width / height then you could use inherit in CSS.

How to display element on screen but not at the top of the screen in html/css?

I have some jQuery code that adds a picture to my page whenever a user clicks on a button. I want this picture to display on top of whatever the user is looking at. The problem is that I have this image set as position:absolute and it's displaying at the very top of the page. Think about it like this:
My page is 1000px high. If the users viewport is 300px down then thats where I want the image to display, not at the very top of the page. Position:static doesn't work for me in this case because I want the user to be able to scroll past the image and not have it follow him.
Any ideas? I was thinking something along the lines of a jQuery function that returns how far down the webpage the viewport is and set that as the top position of the image(since I have it set as absolute).
Thanks in advance!

var viewportX = window.pageXOffset; var viewportY = window.pageYOffset;
Then position it relative to viewportX and viewportY.

I use this small jQuery extension to set something to center on the screen:
(function($)
{
$.fn.centerMe = function(centerIn)
{
var containerWidth = $(centerIn).width();
var containerHeight = $(centerIn).height();
var elWidth = $(this).width();
var elHeight = $(this).height();
$(this).css('left', containerWidth / 2 - elWidth / 2);
var adjTop = containerHeight / 2 - elHeight / 2;
$(this).css('top', $(parent.window.document).scrollTop() + adjTop);
};
})(jQuery);
Usage is basically: $('#elemToCenter').centerMe(window);

jQuery Variable Height

I'm trying to have an image gallery where a caption is vertically centered inside of a slideshow, here's the code I'm working with
$(window).load(function() {
var imageHeight = $('.flexslider .slides li img').height();
var captionTop = imageHeight - $('.title-cap').height();
var captionTop = captionTop/2;
$('.title-cap').css('top',captionTop + 'px');
var captionTopOne = imageHeight - $('.sub-cap-one').height();
var captionTopOne = captionTopOne/2;
$('.sub-cap-one').css('top',captionTopOne + 'px');
var captionTopTwo = imageHeight - $('.sub-cap-two').height();
var captionTopTwo = captionTopTwo/2;
$('.sub-cap-two').css('top',captionTopTwo + 'px');
var captionTopThr = imageHeight - $('.sub-cap-three').height();
var captionTopThr = captionTopThr/2;
$('.sub-cap-three').css('top',captionTopThr + 'px');
});
The caption is positioned absolutely, and I'm using top to do the centering...
So my thought process is, get the height of the base slideshow image to keep it responsive, minus the height of the current caption, and divide that by two ending with the top value.
The first instance is working, with "title-cap", but the next three are not. They all return the same wrong value. All caption classes have the same attributes, just different for assignment.
Also, what would I need to add in order for the values to dynamically change with the browser window size in real time.
Edit: Alright, did a little research and figured out the load/resize part.
This is what I have now
function setContent(){
[Added all of the above minus the onload part in here]
}
$(window).load(function() {
setContent();
});
$(window).resize(function() {
setContent();
});
Now just not sure why the sub-cap's aren't loading properly. Any ideas?

I've had similar problem when trying to get the size of hidden elements. I found this nice jQuery actual plugin. It might be what you need.
