I am having a little bit of trouble with my CSS, as when I change the default zoom (Command + on Mac) of the browser it causes the below image.
When it is at 100% viewport on chrome, it is supposed to look like the below where it fits perfectly in the black box.
My html code is below. For the sake of simplicity, I have only included the container and the tag to show where I wrote it.
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="container-bars"></div>
</div>
</body>
My CSS code is below:
body {
background-color: rgb(89, 87, 87);
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
.container {
background-color: rgb(37, 35, 35);
height: 80%;
position: absolute;
width: 60%;
left: 500px;
top: 150px;
}
.bars {
float: left;
border: 1px solid rgb(232, 10, 10);
background-color: rgb(218, 215, 215);
}
The .container is the black box in the background and the body is the grey background. Finally, .bars just represents the CSS for each bar. I am creating a visualizer so the when adding the bars, I am using javascript. The code for adding the bars is below.
const container = document.querySelector('.container');
function add_bars(input) {
const Div = document.createElement('div');
const containerWidth = container.clientWidth;
const containerHeight = container.clientHeight;
const barWidth = containerWidth / inputval - 2;
Div.className = 'bars';
//prettier-ignore
Div.style.height = `${((containerHeight / 100) * input) - 2}px`;
Div.style.width = `${barWidth}px`;
containerBars.append(Div);
}
The input in this case is how large the size of the array is which I am dividing in order to split the width of each bar equally. Any help would be appreciated as to why it exceeds the container when I change how "zoomed" in the browser is. Thanks!
function for_loop(array) {
resetArray();
for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
add_bars(array[i]);
}
}
When you use % or vh vw in css and change zoom the elements will change their sizes. Try a console.log(document.querySelector(".container")) after and before changing zoom and you will see a different value. In order to avoid that behavior you have to use fixed sizes in your elements. For example:
.container {
background-color: rgb(37, 35, 35);
position: absolute;
height: 600px; // pixels, not % or vh
width: 800px;// the same
left: 150px;
top: 150px;
}
Also, when you make zoom out the problem persist. In order to avoid that just add the next:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
And there is no need to substract 2 px in add_bars function:
...
const barWidth = containerWidth / inputval;
...
Div.style.height = `${((containerHeight / 100) * input)}px`;
...
I have a table full of data that tends to be larger than the screen.
I put the table in a DIV and set the "overflow" to "auto" in CSS
div.scrolling-comps {
width : 970px;
height : 800px;
overflow : auto;
}
So the DIV can be scrolled up/down, left right using the browser's built-in scroll bars.
Problem is, the table can be WAAY bigger than the screen. And while the mousewheel will scroll it up/down, scrolling left/right is a pain in the hooch.
So, looking for a javascript/jquery or CSS way to scroll the div NATURALLY.
In other words, when someone viewing the huuuge table moves their mouse to the right, the DIV goes to the left (thus scrolling without using the scroll bars).
Something similar to this, but instead of following the mouse, the div would move opposite the mouse...
window.onload = function() {
var bsDiv = document.getElementById("box-shadow-div");
var x, y;
// On mousemove use event.clientX and event.clientY to set the location of the div to the location of the cursor:
window.addEventListener('mousemove', function(event) {
x = event.clientX;
y = event.clientY;
if (typeof x !== 'undefined') {
bsDiv.style.left = x + "px";
bsDiv.style.top = y + "px";
}
}, false);
}
#box-shadow-div {
position: fixed;
width: 1000px;
height: 800px;
border-radius: 0%;
background-color: black;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px 10px black;
top: 49%;
left: 48.85%;
}
<div id="box-shadow-div"></div>
The example you have about using the mouse position is interesting... But it is not what you need to achieve what you described.
In fact... What you need to know is the "ratio" between the div wrapping the table and its scrollWidth
Then, using the X position of the mouse, you can apply a scroll to the div in order to make it "move".
I used jQuery to do it using very few lines.
// Just to fake a big table
var fakeCell = $("<td>Some data</td>");
for(i=0;i<100;i++){
var fakeRow = $("<tr>");
for(k=0;k<50;k++){
fakeRow.append(fakeCell.clone().append(" "+k));
}
$("#test").append(fakeRow.clone());
}
// ---------------------------------------------------
// Calculate the "ratio" of the box-div width versus its scrollable width
var ratio = $("#box-div")[0].scrollWidth / $("#box-div").width();
console.log("Ratio: "+ratio);
// Scroll left/rigth based on mouse movement
$(window).on("mousemove", function(e){
var X = ratio * e.pageX;
// Scroll the div using the mouse position multiplyed by the ratio
$("#box-div").scrollLeft(X);
});
td{
white-space: nowrap;
border: 1px solid black;
}
#box-div{
overflow:auto;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<body>
<div id="box-div">
<table id="test">
</table>
</div>
</body>
So while the user moves the mouse over the div's width, you apply a scroll multiplied by the ratio... The effect is the user can scroll it all from the most left to most right ends easilly.
How about this?
wrap a table in div (i.e. parent-div) which is relatively positioned
Give position absolute to the target div.
And change left & top position of target div on mousemove event.
window.onload = function() {
var bsDiv = document.getElementById("box-shadow-div");
var x, y;
// On mousemove use event.clientX and event.clientY to set the location of the div to the location of the cursor:
window.addEventListener('mousemove', function(event) {
x = event.clientX;
y = event.clientY;
if (typeof x !== 'undefined') {
bsDiv.style.left = -x + "px";
bsDiv.style.top = -y + "px";
}
}, false);
}
.parent-div {
position: relative;
}
#box-shadow-div {
position: absolute;
width: 1000px;
height: 800px;
border-radius: 0%;
background-color: black;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px 10px black;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
<div class="parent-div">
<div id="box-shadow-div"></div>
</div>
Have you tried changing x to -x? this will technically "invert" the effect.
window.onload = function() {
var bsDiv = document.getElementById("box-shadow-div");
var x, y;
// On mousemove use event.clientX and event.clientY to set the location of the div to the location of the cursor:
window.addEventListener('mousemove', function(event) {
x = event.clientX;
y = event.clientY;
if (typeof x !== 'undefined') {
bsDiv.style.left = -x + "px";
bsDiv.style.top = -y + "px";
}
}, false);
}
#box-shadow-div {
position: fixed;
width: 1000px;
height: 800px;
border-radius: 0%;
background-color: black;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px 10px black;
top: 49%;
left: 48.85%;
}
<div id="box-shadow-div"></div>
I set my images centred in CSS:
background-position: center center;
But I want to know its top-position now after it is set to centre, how can I calculate that with jQuery or just plain javaScript?
.parallax3 {
position: relative;
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
background-image: url('https://picsum.photos/g/200/600');
height: 100%;
}
.tagline {
font-size: 2.5vw;
letter-spacing:0.05em;
padding: 25% 25%;
}
.grid-x {
border:1px solid red;
}
.cell {
border: 1px solid blue;
}
<div class="row widescreen">
<div class="grid-container full">

Any ideas?
As I commented above we need to find the formula, so the idea is to rely on the logic of background-position:center and background-size:cover. So since the image will always be stretched, we have two possibilities :
The top of the image will be the same as the top of div and thus top=0
The height of the image will be longer than the div and the top will be hidden and thus top<0
As you may notice I considered the top position relatively to the top of the div which is the origin for me
Now we need to consider all the different cases on how the image will cover the div and calculate the new height of the image depending on each situation.
Here is a code example:
//am using fixed values because they are known in this case, so this need to also be calculated
var him = 600;
var wim = 200;
var ratio = him / wim;
/*--*/
function get_top() {
var h = $('.parallax3').height();
var w = $('.parallax3').width();
var diffh = h - him;
var diffw = w - wim;
if (diffw > 0 && diffh > 0) {
//the image is smaller than the div so it should get bigger by at least the max difference
if (diffh > diffw*ratio) {
//both height will be equal here so top position = 0
console.log(0);
} else {
//height of image will be bigger so top position < 0
var newH = (wim + diffw) * ratio;
console.log((h - newH) / 2)
}
} else if (diffw > 0) {
//only the width if div is bigger so the image width will stretch and the height will be bigger and top < 0;
var newH = (wim + diffw) * ratio;
console.log((h - newH) / 2)
} else if (diffh > 0) {
//only the height is bigger so the image height will stretch and both heights will be equal to div and top = 0
console.log(0);
} else {
// the image is bigger in this case so we do same logic as the start with abs value but we will reduce size so we consider the lowest value
if (Math.abs(diffh) < Math.abs(diffw)*ratio) {
//both height will be equal here so top position = 0
console.log(0);
} else {
//height of image will remain bigger so top position < 0
var newH = (wim + diffw) * ratio;
console.log((h - newH) / 2)
}
}
}
get_top();
$(window).resize(function() {
get_top()
})
body {
height: 100vh;
}
.parallax3 {
position: relative;
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
background-image:url('https://picsum.photos/g/200/600');
height: 100%;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="parallax3">
</div>
If we consider contain as value in background-size the image will always be contained inside the div so the two possibilities are:
The top of the image will be the same as the top of the div and thus top=0
The image will be smaller in height and the top of image will be visible and thus top>0
Same thing as the above, we need to consider the different situations and calculate the new height of the image.
Here is a code example:
//am using fixed values because they are known in this case, so this need to also be calculated
var him = 600;
var wim = 200;
var ratio = him / wim;
/*--*/
function get_top() {
var h = $('.parallax3').height();
var w = $('.parallax3').width();
var diffh = h - him;
var diffw = w - wim;
if (diffw > 0 && diffh > 0) {
//the image is smaller than the div so it should get bigger by at least the min difference
if (diffh < diffw*ratio) {
//both height will be equal here so top position = 0
console.log(0);
} else {
//height of image will be bigger so top position < 0
var newH = (wim + diffw) * ratio;
console.log((h - newH) / 2)
}
} else if (diffw > 0) {
//only the width if div is bigger so the image height need to be reduced and both height will be equal
console.log(0);
} else if (diffh > 0) {
//only the height is bigger so the image width will be reduced
var newH = (wim + diffw) * ratio;
console.log((h - newH) / 2);
} else {
// the image is bigger in this case so we do same logic as the start with abs value but we will reduce size so we consider the biggest value
if (Math.abs(diffh) > Math.abs(diffw)*ratio) {
//both height will be equal here so top position = 0
console.log(0);
} else {
//height of image will be bigger so top position < 0
var newH = (wim + diffw) * ratio;
console.log((h - newH) / 2)
}
}
}
get_top();
$(window).resize(function() {
get_top()
})
body {
height: 100vh;
}
.parallax3 {
position: relative;
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
background-image: url('https://picsum.photos/g/200/600');
height: 100%;

Both snippet can be optimized to reduce redundancy but I kept them like this to better explain different situations.
I want to build a page to show a blown-up version of an image.
I have the smaller image and the bigger image built out. I am not sure how to build the in between portion that looks like rays coming out of the smaller image.
HTML
<div class="flex">
<div class="exp" tabindex="0">
<img class="image" src="http://via.placeholder.com/50x50">
</div>
<div class="big-image">
<img class="image" src="http://via.placeholder.com/350x550">
</div>
</div>
CSS
.exp {
margin: 5px;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: #ded3c0;
border-radius: 100%;
line-height: 80px;
align-items: center;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
.exp .image {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
}
.big-image {
border: 1px solid #000;
padding: 20px;
border-radius: 19px;
}
.flex {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: space-around;
}
Any pointers on how to do this is helpful.
Here is jsfiddle https://jsfiddle.net/npkeq7ut/
If you need only lines you can achieve this with JS and skew transform:
let topLine = document.getElementById('top-line');
let bottomLine = document.getElementById('bottom-line');
function updateLines()
{
let b = document.getElementById('b').getBoundingClientRect();
let a = document.getElementById('a').getBoundingClientRect();
let left = a.right;
let width = b.left - a.right;
let tHeight = a.top - b.top;
let tTop = tHeight / 2 + b.top;
let tAngle = Math.atan(tHeight / width) * 180 / Math.PI;
let bHeight = b.bottom - a.bottom;
let bTop = bHeight / 2 + a.bottom - bottomLine.offsetHeight;
let bAngle = Math.atan(bHeight / width) * 180 / Math.PI;
topLine.style.top = tTop + "px";
topLine.style.left = left + "px";
topLine.style.width = width + "px";
topLine.style.transform = "skewY("+(-tAngle)+"deg)";
bottomLine.style.top = bTop + "px";
bottomLine.style.left = left + "px";
bottomLine.style.width = width + "px";
bottomLine.style.transform = "skewY("+(bAngle)+"deg)";
}
updateLines();

Live example: https://jsfiddle.net/b8vLg0ny/
It's possible to use the CSS scale and translate functions to zoom into element.
Take this example, of 4 boxes in a 2x2 grid.
HTML:
<div id="container">
<div id="zoom-container">
<div class="box red">A</div>
<div class="box blue">B</div>
<div class="box green">C</div>
<div class="box black">D</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
* { margin: 0; }
body, html { height: 100%; }
#container {
height: 100%;
width: 50%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#zoom-container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;
}
.box {
float: left;
width: 50%;
height: 50%;
color: white;
text-align: center;
display: block;
}
.red { background: red; }
.blue { background: blue; }
.green { background: green; }
.black { background: black; }
JavaScript:
window.zoomedIn = false;
$(".box").click(function(event) {
var el = this;
var zoomContainer = $("#zoom-container");
if (window.zoomedIn) {
console.log("resetting zoom");
zoomContainer.css("transform", "");
$("#container").css("overflow", "auto");
window.zoomedIn = false;
} else {
console.log("applying zoom");
var top = el.offsetTop;
var left = el.offsetLeft - 0.25*zoomContainer[0].clientWidth;
var translateY = 0.5*zoomContainer[0].clientHeight - top;
var translateX = 0.5*zoomContainer[0].clientWidth - left;
$("#container").css("overflow", "scroll");
zoomContainer.css("transform", "translate(" + 2 * translateX + "px, " + 2 * translateY + "px) scale(2)");
window.zoomedIn = true;
}
});
By controlling the value of translateX and translateY, you can change how the zooming works.
The initial rendered view looks something like this:
Clicking on the A box will zoom you in appropriately:
(Note that clicking D at the end is just showing the reset by zooming back out.)
The problem is: zooming to box D will scale the zoom container such that scrolling to the top and left doesn't work, because the contents overflow. The same happens when zooming to boxes B (the left half is cropped) and C (the top half is cropped). Only with A does the content not overflow outside the container.
In similar situations related to scaling (see CSS3 Transform Scale and Container with Overflow), one possible solution is to specify transform-origin: top left (or 0 0). Because of the way the scaling works relative to the top left, the scrolling functionality stays. That doesn't seem to work here though, because it means you're no longer repositioning the contents to be focused on the clicked box (A, B, C or D).
Another possible solution is to add a margin-left and a margin-top to the zoom container, which adds enough space to make up for the overflowed contents. But again: the translate values no longer line up.
So: is there a way to both zoom in on a given element, and overflow with a scroll so that contents aren't cropped?
Update: There's a rough almost-solution by animating scrollTop and scrollLeft, similar to https://stackoverflow.com/a/31406704/528044 (see the jsfiddle example), but it's not quite a proper solution because it first zooms to the top left, not the intended target. I'm beginning to suspect this isn't actually possible, because it's probably equivalent to asking for scrollLeft to be negative.
Why not just to reposition the TransformOrigin to 0 0 and to use proper scrollTop/scrollLeft after the animation?
https://jsfiddle.net/b8vLg0ny/7/
Updated: https://jsfiddle.net/b8vLg0ny/13/
If you do not need the animation, the TransformOrigin can always stays 0 0 and only the scrolling is used to show the box.
To make the animation less jumpy use transition only for transform porperty, otherwise the transform-origin gets animated also. I have edited the example with 4x4 elements, but I think it makes sense to zoom a box completely into view, thats why I changed the zoom level. But if you stay by zoom level 2 and the grid size 15x15 for instance, then with this approach really precise origin should be calculated for transform, and then also the correct scrolling.
Anyway I don't know, if you find this approach useful.

I'm answering my own question, since I'm fairly confident that it's actually not possible with the given requirements. At least not without some hackery that would cause problems visually, e.g., jumpy scrolling by animating scrollTop after switching transform-origin to 0, 0 (which removes the cropping by bringing everything back into the container).
I'd love for someone to prove me wrong, but it seems equivalent to asking for scrollLeft = -10, something that MDN will tell you is not possible. ("If set to a value less than 0 [...], scrollLeft is set to 0.")
If, however, it's acceptable to change the UI from scrolling, to zooming and dragging/panning, then it's achievable: https://jsfiddle.net/jegn4x0f/5/
Here's the solution with the same context as my original problem:
HTML:
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button id="zoom-out">Zoom out</button>
<div id="container">
<div id="inner-container">
<div id="zoom-container">
<div class="box red">A</div>
<div class="box blue">B</div>
<div class="box green">C</div>
<div class="box black">D</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

width: 50%;
margin: 0 auto;

I pieced this together from another question (Move (drag/pan) and zoom object (image or div) in pure js), where the width and height are being changed. That doesn't quite apply in my case, because I need to zoom into a specific element on the page (with a lot boxes than in a 2x2 grid). The solution from that question (https://jsfiddle.net/j8kLz6wm/1/) shows the basic approach in pure JavaScript. If you have jQuery available, you can probably just use jquery.panzoom.
Update
I got stuck on scroll bars not showing all the time, so I need to investigating that part, so that code is commented out and instead I use a delay to move the clicked box into view.
Here is my fiddle demo, which I use to play with, to figure out how to solve the scroll bar issue.
Side note: In a comment made by #AVAVT, I would like to link to his post here, as that might help someone else, which I find as an interesting alternative in some cases.
(function(zoomed) {
$(".box").click(function(event) {
var el = this, elp = el.parentElement;
if (zoomed) {
zoomed = false;
$("#zoom-container").css({'transform': ''});
} else {
zoomed = true;
/* this zooms correct but show 1 or none scroll for B,C,D so need to figure out why
var tro = (Math.abs(elp.offsetTop - el.offsetTop) > 0) ? 'bottom' : 'top';
tro += (Math.abs(elp.offsetLeft - el.offsetLeft) > 0) ? ' right' : ' left';
$("#zoom-container").css({'transform-origin': tro, 'transform': 'scale(2)'});
*/
$("#zoom-container").css({'transform-origin': '0 0', 'transform': 'scale(2)'});
/* delay needed before scroll into view */
setTimeout(function() {
el.scrollIntoView();
},250);
}
});
})();
