How to get the height and width of window in bootstrap

In bootstrap I have a fixed top nav bar and fixed bottom nav bar. I want to show a large image in the background between the space of those two nav bars and I also want to cover the width of the window. How can I dynamically get the height between the navbars and the width of the window? The window size may change depending on device.So I need it dynamic

Requires jquery:
var viewport = {
width : $(window).width(),
height : $(window).height()
};
//can access dimensions like this:
//viewport.height
Though you won't always get perfect results, different devices behave differently and this gives the viewport dimensions, not the screen dimensions.
Alternatively you could check the width of a data-role="page" element to find the device-width (since it's set to 100% of the device-width):
var deviceWidth = 0;
$(window).bind('resize', function () {
deviceWidth = $('[data-role="page"]').first().width();
}).trigger('resize');​​​

$(window).resize(function() {
var top_nav_height = $("#id_of_top_nav").height();
var bottom_nav_height = $("#id_of_bottom_nav").height();
var window_height = $(window).height();
var height_of_open_space = window_height - (top_nav_height+bottom_nav_height);
$("#id_of_img").css({
height:height_of_open_space+'px';
});
});
this will be fine with if 0px padding and margin, if not also get that values and subtract from height_of_open_space before applying to img height

It is a bit hard to tell without seeing any of your markup, but it should be feasable with pure css. I set up a very basic example to demonstrate:
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/XbGJJO
HTML:
<div class='top'>
top navbar
</div>
<div class='content'>
<p> some content </p>
</div>
<div class='bottom'>
bottom navbar
</div>
CSS:
.top, .bottom {
height: 40px;
background: red;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
}
.top {
top: 0;
}
.bottom {
bottom: 0;
}
.content {
margin: 40px 0;
min-height: calc(100vh - 80px);
background: green; /* background goes here */
}
The trick lies in the following line:
min-height: calc(100vh - 80px);
This tells your content to at least take up 100% of the vertical height, minus the height of the top and bottom bar. Let me know if you want me to explain further.

overflow-y:scroll in bxSlider (horizontal slider) Part 2

As a newbie, I realized too late that it is not possible to add code in comments.
So I opened a new question and asking again for your help.
For reasons of space I'm using bxSlider with fixed width and height (width 500px + height 300px). All images have the same width, but some of the images have a greater height than 300px.
As I mentioned - for reasons of space - I don't want to use adaptiveHeight, but (vertical) overflow:auto, but the result is always unsatisfactory, because now a scrollbar appears at each image - in the length of the image with the greatest height.
I just want to have a vertical scrollbar, when the height of an image is more than 300px.
Is this possible?
I tried this in query.bxslider.js:
.bx-wrapper {
position: relative;
padding: 0;
*zoom: 1;
width:500px;
height:300px;
overflow:auto;
}
.bx-wrapper img {
max-width: 100%;
display: block;
}
Because my query knowledge is still low, I also tried to use overflow:auto in the
.bx-wrapper img, but it didn't work, too.

I had to use javascript. And if you're so inclined, you can adapt this FIDDLE for your purposes.
Just click on the radio buttons to see different sized pictures.
JS
$('input:radio[name=photoradio]').change(function(){
pnum = $('input:radio[name=photoradio]:checked').val();
changethepicture(pnum);
});
function changethepicture(pnum)
{
var photonum = $('.photo img:nth-child('+ pnum +')');
$('.putmehere').html( photonum.height() );
if( photonum.height() > 350 )
{
$('img').css('display', 'none');
photonum.css('display', 'block');
$('.photo').css('height', '350px');
$('.photo').css('overflow-y', 'scroll');
}
else
{
$('img').css('display', 'none');
photonum.css('display', 'block');
$('.photo').css('height', 'auto');
$('.photo').css('overflow-y', 'hidden');
}
}

Changing footer position to be at the bottom of page until it hits content

(I am looking for an HTML/CSS fix but if there really is none then JS (prefereably JQuery) works for me)
I have two main divs inside my page, I have the #maincontent and the #footer.
Basically, I want the footer to always sit at the bottom on the page:
#footer{
position:fixed;
bottom:0;
}
BUT I do not want it to overflow on the #maincontent when the page is too small.
For the sake of the question the page can be thought of as simple as:
<body>
<div id="maincontent">Dynamic Content</div>
<div id="footer">StaticContent</div>
</body>
My problem is that I can do one or the other, either I fix it to the bottom of the page but when I make the viewport < (footer + maincontent) the footer sits on top of the content. I want the footer to always be at the bottom of the page but disappear off page before it overtakes the main content.

Add a class to the footer with jQuery that changes it to position: absolute when the viewport is too small.
$(document).ready(function() {
var height = $(window).height();
function windowHeight() {
height = $(window).height();
}
windowHeight();
$(window).resize(function() {
windowHeight();
});
if (height < 600) { //arbitrary height value you can set yourself
$('#footer').addClass('not-fixed');
} else {
$('#footer').removeClass('not-fixed');
}
});

If you know your footer's height whatever happens to the window height, or its content :
Just add a "padding-bottom" to your body or main content that matches the footer's height.
If you don't know your footer's height. This is trickier, as you will probably need some javascript to calculate the height of the footer, the height of the main content, compare the sum of both with the window height, and if it doesn't fit, add some adequate bottom padding to the body / main content.
EDIT :
Ok I understand, I think this jsfiddle should do the trick : http://jsfiddle.net/ah4XA/2/
The javascript would be :
$(document).ready(function () {
function updateFooter () {
var footerH = $("#main-footer").height();
var contentH = $("#main-content").height();
var windowH = $(window).height();
if ( contentH + footerH > windowH) {
$("#main-footer").removeClass("fixed");
} else {
$("#main-footer").addClass("fixed");
}
}
$(window).resize(function () {
updateFooter();
});
updateFooter();
});

If I understand what you're looking for, you want the footer to stay on the bottom of the window regardless of the page content, but also not overlap the page as the window is resized vertically.
One possible solution is to switch between position:absolute; and position: fixed; with a media query. So past a certain height it's fixed, but below that the footer position:absolute;.
EXAMPLE FIDDLE
CSS:
#media all and (max-height:300px) {
#footer {
background: red; <- added for testing
position: absolute;
}
}
The only drawback to this approach is that you need to know the height to set the switchover to. This may be tricky, but position:fixed;.

The simplest solution would be to position footer at the bottom permanently and increase the z-index of your maincontent so that it comes over the footer if window size is decreased.
NOTE: This is not the only way to do this.
JSFIDDLE DEMO
Sample CSS
#maincontent{
height : 400px;
background-color : green;
/*
position : relative is added to enable z-index.
*/
position:relative;
/*
z-index will bring it above footer,
if window size is reduced.
*/
z-index: 1;
width : 100%;
}
#footer{
height : 100px;
width : 100%;
background-color : black;
/* Below two properties will
postion footer at the bottom of the page.
*/
position : fixed;
bottom : 0;
color : white;
}
You should play with CSS position property to get this done.
EDIT:
Here is another CSS solution :
The maincontent and footer are wrapped in a bodyContainer div its position is set to relative and then footer is positioned w.r.t it.
JSFIDDLE DEMO 1 Footer is below body and not shown.
JSFIDDLE DEMO 2 Footer is shown since body height is less.
HTML
<div id="bodyContainer">
<div id="maincontent">Dynamic Content
</div>
<div id="footer">StaticContent</div>
</div>
CSS
#bodyContainer {
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
}
#maincontent{
height : 800px;
background-color : green;
padding-bottom: 60px;
width : 100%;
}
#footer{
background-color: black;
bottom: 0;
color: #FFFFFF;
height: 48px;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}

Set height of div but keep fluid

I have a situation where I need to make a div the same size as an absolutely positioned sidebar. I sorted that using this bit of jQuery;
$('#main').height('auto');
top_height = $('.toolbar').outerHeight();
side_height = $('#RightSideBar').height();
body_height = $('#main').innerHeight();
console.log(body_height + ' ' + side_height);
if (body_height < side_height){
$('#main').height(side_height + top_height);
}
else {
$('#main').height(body_height);
}
I have ran into a new problem due to the dynamic nature of some content on some pages. Since the height of #main is absolutely set if the size of its content increases the size of the div will not increase with it and vice versa.
I need the div to be set the same height as the sidebar and remain fluid with its content. So the div would increase and decrease in height up to the height of the sidebar.
I hope that is easily understandable, if its not please say so.

instead of setting the height of #main with your calculations, try setting the min-height:
if (body_height < side_height){
$('#main').css('min-height', side_height + top_height);
}
else {
$('#main').css('min-height', body_height);
}

You can do this without javascript. You need a relative positioned parent that will auto size to side bar and then an absolute positioned div that adopts 100% height of parent. Never is there a set height, always fluid.
DEMO http://jsfiddle.net/nSBaA/1/
#wrapper {
position: relative;
}
#main {
position: absolute;
height: 100%;
width: 70%;
}
#sidebar {
float: right;
width: 20%;
}

jQuery sticky header jumps at specific height

I'm trying to create a basic sticky header.
The header contains 2 parts: top and main. When page is scrolled down, i want to keep only the .main sticky (so that the .top becomes invisible).
I'm trying following code, but it is jerky and if the content has a specific height, it does not let scroll, starts jumping. I have captured video to illustrate the problem. Please see:
http://www.screenr.com/Z89H
Here's the demo:
http://jsfiddle.net/M33g4/
(you might not see the issue because of different screen height, in that case drag the results window to set its height about 535px).
HTML:
<header>
<div class="top"></div>
<div class="main"></div>
</header>
<section>
</section>
jQuery:
$(window).scroll(function () {
var height = $('header').outerHeight();
if($(this).scrollTop() > height){
$('header').addClass('sticky');
}else{
$('header').removeClass('sticky');
}
});

I'm sure you will have fixed this by now but after encountering the same issue I came up with a solution:
The issue was caused by the document size not having enough leeway beneath the fold to fit the height of the overall header. This meant that if a visitor tried to scroll down, the sticky part of the header will become fixed, but immediately unfix itself.I believe it may be the bounce-back effect that causes the problem but I haven't tested to verify this.
In short, I fixed it by adding simple check to ensure that there is more than enough space beneath the fold by comparing the height of the body and the height of the window. i.e body height minus window height must be greater than the total header height. Here's the code that worked in my instance:
// Sticky sub navbar
var sub_nav_height = $('#sub-nav').outerHeight();
var total_height = $('#main-head').outerHeight();
var header_height = total_height - sub_nav_height;
var content_height;
var y;
$(window).scroll(function() {
// Only make sticky if window is large enough not to cause jumping issue
content_height = $('body').height() - $(window).height();
if(content_height > total_height) {
y = $(this).scrollTop();
if($(this).scrollTop() > header_height) {
$('#sub-nav').addClass('fixed');
} else {
$('#sub-nav').removeClass('fixed');
}
}
});
There are two caveats which I decided were absolutely fine for my scenario. The first is that an extra calculation has been added every time the scroll event is triggered, but this hasn't caused me any performance issues. The second is that the sticky header functionality is simply disabled when a vistor's window is a problematic size, but again I had no qualms with this as the navbar could still just about be seen.

Check this
http://jsfiddle.net/M33g4/3/
JS
$(window).scroll(function () {
var height = $('.top').height();
if($(this).scrollTop() > height){
$('.top').hide();
$('header').addClass('sticky');
}else{
$('.top').show();
$('header').removeClass('sticky');
}
});
CSS
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
header{
width: 100%;
}
.top{
height: 50px;
background: blue;
}
.main{
height: 70px;
background: green;
}
section{
height: 560px;
background: yellow;
}
.sticky{
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
}

You should target to the top but not to whole header demo
$(window).scroll(function () {
var height = $('header .top').outerHeight();
if($(this).scrollTop() > height){
$('header').addClass('sticky');
}else{
$('header').removeClass('sticky');
}
});

http://jsfiddle.net/M33g4/1/
$(window).scroll(function () {
var height = $('.top').outerHeight();
if($(this).scrollTop() > height){
$('header').addClass('sticky');
}else{
$('header').removeClass('sticky');
}
});
guess you got the wrong height.
Updated:
The blinking issue is caused by height changing (due to position: fixed)
check this one: http://jsfiddle.net/M33g4/6/
$(window).scroll(function () {
var height = $('.top').outerHeight();
if($(this).scrollTop() > height){
if($('.main.sticky').length == 0) {
$('header').append(
$('.main').clone().addClass('sticky'));
}
}else{
$('.main.sticky').remove();
}
});
and stick .main only:
.sticky{
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
top: 0;
}

This works for me:
Set the height variable to 30:
$(window).scroll(function () {
var height = 30;
if($(this).scrollTop() >= height){
$('header').addClass('sticky');
}else{
$('header').removeClass('sticky');
}
});
and change the css for the sticky class to the following:
.sticky{
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
top: -30px;
left: 0;
}
Top is -30 instead of -40. Works for me!

Check how the content in this demo snaps to the top, under the header, but not visible. You might want to resize the Results window to about 500px. Is there a solution to this please?
$(window).scroll(function () {
var height = $('.top').outerHeight();
if($(this).scrollTop() > height){
$('header').addClass('sticky');
}else{
$('header').removeClass('sticky');
}
});
