Javascript Image resizing is not working properly in IE11 but working in remaing versions(10,9,8)

I am using wicket framework (html +java) in my application where i need to resize an image when the componenet loads.This code is working fine in IE8,9,10.But it is failing sometimes in IE11.
Some times it is able to resize and but sometimes it is not able to do so.Actully it is not going into the javascript code whenver it fails.
Please help me in solving the issue.
<img wicket:id="bigImage" onload="resize_imgs(140,140,112,112)" />
Here the above image compnenet is calling following javascript code and will perfrom the image resizing.
<script type="text/javascript">
function resize_imgs(maxht, maxwt, minht, minwt) {
alert("first line");
var imgs = document.getElementsByTagName('img');
var resize_img = function (img, newht, newwt) {
img.height = newht;
img.width = newwt;
alert("in resize image function :newht" + newht + "newwt:" + newwt);
};
for (var i = 0; i < imgs.length; i++) {
var img = imgs[i];
if (img.height > maxht || img.width > maxwt) {
var old_ratio = img.height / img.width;
var min_ratio = minht / minwt;
if (old_ratio === min_ratio) {
alert("ratios equal");
resize_img(img, minht, minwt);
}
else {
var newdim = [img.height, img.width];
newdim[0] = minht;
newdim[1] = newdim[0] / old_ratio;
if (newdim[1] > maxwt) {
newdim[1] = minwt;
newdim[0] = newdim[1] * old_ratio;
}
alert("ratios not equal");
resize_img(img, newdim[0], newdim[1]);
}
}
}
}
</script>
UPDATE1:
In my appllication there are lot of images in a page and when we click on image or opens that page it will take first image or clicked image and will set it in top corner of the page.So whenever that component loads (img wicket:id="bigImage" onload="resize_imgs(140,140,112,112)" /> )we will call onload event.Now i have been trying with jquery.I updated it in the question.Could you please suggest me whether it is correct or not.
<img class="resizeImage" wicket:id="bigImage" />
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".resizeImage").one("load", function() {
// do stuff
var maxht=140;
var maxwt =140;
var minht=112;
var minwt=112;
var img_height = $(this).height();
var img_width = $(this).width();
if (img_height > maxht || img_width > maxwt) {
var old_ratio = img_height / img_width;
var min_ratio = minht / minwt;
if (old_ratio === min_ratio) {
$(this).css('height',minht);
$(this).css('width',minwt);
}
else {
var newdim = [img_height, img_width];
newdim[0] = minht;
newdim[1] = newdim[0] / old_ratio;
if (newdim[1] > maxwt) {
newdim[1] = minwt;
newdim[0] = newdim[1] * old_ratio;
}
$(this).css('height',newdim[0]);
$(this).css('width',newdim[1]);
}
}}).each(function() {
if(this.complete) $(this).load();
});

If the image can be pulled from the cache immediately, then IE won't trigger the load event for the image at all.
You can check if the complete property of the image is true. Then the image is already loaded and you won't get a load event, so you can just call the function directly. Example:
var image = $('img');
if (image.prop('complete')) {
resize_imgs(140,140,112,112);
} else {
image.load(function(){
resize_imgs(140,140,112,112);
});
}

Javascript: move new element after createElement

I have created a zombie img in my banner div but I can't get the img to move to the left after it has been created.
createZombie function is on a timer:
createZombieTimer = window.setInterval(createZombie, 1000);
That is in an init() that loads with the body.
function createZombie(){
var imgElem = document.createElement("img");
imgElem.src = "img/zombie_walk_right.gif";
var newZom = document.getElementById('banner').appendChild(imgElem);
newZom.style.height = "40px";
newZom.style.width = "auto";
newZom.style.display = "block";
newZom.style.marginLeft = "50px";
var zomPos = parseInt(newZom.style.marginLeft);
if (zomPos > 0) {
newZom.style.marginLeft = (zomPos + 50) + "px";
}
}

Since it's clear from the comments now what you want to do, I'll post it here as the answer.
You can do this with plain javascript as well. What you will have to do, is use setInterval(). This will execute a function every second, in which you can update the position of the elements.
Example:
// Function to move the zombie by 50 pixels
function moveZombie()
{
// Select the zombie element (will need additional logic to select all of them, just an example)
zomElement = document.getElementById('zombie1');
zomPos = parseInt(zomElement.style.marginLeft);
zomElement.style.marginLeft = (zomPos + 50) + 'px';
}
// Call this function every second
setInterval(moveZombie(), 1000);

adding text to overlay in javascript

I've used some source for a transparent overlay in JavaScript:
function grayOut(vis, options)
{
var options = options || {};
var zindex = 50;
var opacity = 70;
var opaque = (opacity / 100);
var bgcolor = options.bgcolor || '#000000';
var dark=document.getElementById('darkenScreenObject');
if (!dark) {
// The dark layer doesn't exist, it's never been created. So we'll
// create it here and apply some basic styles.
// If you are getting errors in IE see: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/927917
var tbody = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
var tnode = document.createElement('div'); // Create the layer.
tnode.style.position='absolute'; // Position absolutely
tnode.style.top='0px'; // In the top
tnode.style.left='0px'; // Left corner of the page
tnode.style.display='none'; // Start out Hidden
tnode.id='darkenScreenObject'; // Name it so we can find it later
tbody.appendChild(tnode);
/*
var pTag = document.createElement("P");
var txtProcessing = document.createTextNode("Processing GIF...");
tnode.appendChild(txtProcessing);
*/
}
if (vis)
{
// Calculate the page width and height
if( document.body && ( document.body.scrollWidth || document.body.scrollHeight ) )
{
var pageWidth = document.body.scrollWidth+'px';
var pageHeight = document.body.scrollHeight+'px';
}
else if( document.body.offsetWidth )
{
var pageWidth = document.body.offsetWidth+'px';
var pageHeight = document.body.offsetHeight+'px';
}
else
{
var pageWidth='100%';
var pageHeight='100%';
}
//set the shader to cover the entire page and make it visible.
dark.style.opacity=opaque;
dark.style.MozOpacity=opaque;
dark.style.filter='alpha(opacity='+opacity+')';
dark.style.zIndex=zindex;
dark.style.backgroundColor=bgcolor;
dark.style.width= pageWidth;
dark.style.height= pageHeight;
dark.style.display='block';
var txt = document.createTextNode("This text was added.");
dark.appendChild(txt);
}
else
{
dark.style.display='none';
}
}
My problem is I'm trying to get some text to show up on the transparent layer but I can't get it to work. Any thoughts?

Your text node is created on overlay but is invisible cause of text color.
check Fiddle where text color is set to red.
dark.style.color = 'red';

Replace the end of a File Name (SRC)

i'm having a bit of a problem here. I found this script on the web, and changed it around a bit for my needs.
This script shows a preview of the image following the mouse onmouseover.
Originally, there was only one way of doing this. But i have 2 different sections on my website in which i want to display images with different attributes (height, width).
I was able to do that, the problem is that on the second section, the src (file name) is a thumbnail of the actual picture i want to display, so when it dows, it just blows up a very small picture, which looks very bad. But hopefully, this will make things easier: all the thumbnails are named whaterver_small.jpg and the originals, whatever.jpg Now, if i could remove _small or _small.jpg and replace with .jpg from the end of that file, that would display the original picture for me, which would be great. This is how the funcion is called on html:
Original size, no need changing:
<a href=http://www.whatever.net/1.html');">
<img alt="Copper" border="1" height="64" src="http://www.whatever.net/whatever_small.jpg" width="85" onmouseover="showImage1(this.src,this,'Whatever')" /></a>
Show image2, the one i'm having problems with.
<a href=http://www.whatever.net/1.html');">
<img alt="Copper" border="1" height="64" src="http://www.whatever.net/whatever_small.jpg" width="85" onmouseover="showImage2(this.src,this,'Whatever')" /></a>
This is the script
var floatWidth = 150; // set the width of the floating image
var floatHeight = 100; // set its height
var floatWidth2 = 320; // set the width of the floating image
var floatHeight2 = 240; // set its height

Update:
Ok, so i updated the script in this page, and it works perfectly now.
I ran into another problem, when the picture that has the mouse over, is near the end of the page, the preview is cutoff. I'd like to be able to move the preview up, so there's no scroll bar.
Here's a live example of a functional one: http://www.soccer.com/Navigation.process?Ne=178&N=4294960224+346
Where the picture is never cutoff.

Replace following line in the showImage2 function
nIMG.setAttribute('src',isImg);
with
nIMG.setAttribute('src',isImg.replace(/_small\./, '.'));

This will remove all _small matches from all of your image sources, if I'm understanding what you want correctly:
$("img").each(function() {
$(this).attr("src", $(this).attr("src").replace("/_small(?=\.)/", ""));
});

Image() onLoad not waiting for image to load

I've figured out the centering and resizing issues, but I still can't get onLoad to work properly. Anyone have any ideas? I thought onLoad was supposed to wait for the image to be loaded completely before firing the code. As this is right now, it resizes the img for the next img, and fades it in before it's loaded, so the previous image fades in again. Once the show has run through once, it works perfectly, so obviously it's not waiting for the image to load completely before firing imageLoad().
<div id="slideShow">
<div id="slideShowImg" style="display:none; margin-right:auto; margin-left:auto;">

Here are some of my thoughts (it's all open discussion)...
Preloading - Since you're limited to downloading 2 resources in parallel per hostname, it may not make sense to preload everything up front. Since it's a slideshow, how about modifying image() to download the i + 1 image through an Image object that doesn't get appended to the DOM? It doesn't seem beneficial to prefetch i + 2 and beyond in a slideshow setting.
Centering the images - Regarding using the auto margin width for horizontal centering, I believe you'll have to explicitly set the image to display:block. Obviously that doesn't solve centering vertically. Are all the images the same size? Also, will the slideShowImg div have a defined height/width? If so, then some math can be applied to achieve the centering.
Hope this helps! :)

Ok so I fixed the issue with the onLoad, and I even added a little preloading to help the slideshow along as well. All I had to do was define the onload first, and then do everything else except define the src inside the onload's function. I then added a little nextImg preloading so there's little if no hiccup between images even if it's the first time the browser is loading them. Here's the final code for anyone who has similar onload issues and finds there way here:
