PriNet has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Here Goes:
I arrange my webpage depending on the clients browser window size. Currently I'm trying to figure out the height of the remaining div (in pixels) after I subtract the heights of other divs from the overall height
(wich i have in a perl variable after client links into my page). Where I'm stuck is trying to find the height of the dynamic divs in a perl variable. I see there is a way in javascript of course, but I need the parameter in perl when I set the size of the middle div. I use jsdump to pass parameters from perl to javascript, what i need is the reverse, a way to pass javascript parameters back to perl so i can use the ("#myDiv").height(); when setting my middle div. here is a (very) rough outline of the structure:
I did try re-inventing the wheel...
But it kept getting stuck on the corners
Again, i'm trying to get (in perl) the heights of the top and bottom divs so as to figure what height to set the middle div to so i remain inside the browsers window without a scrollbar showing up. I really hope i explained myself correctly, i could use this result in alot of my page, i try to fit (even up to resizing text/images) everything into the clients prefered browser window size. I'm trying to avoid scrollbars, this causes missed data from the viewable area, beside being encumbersome.. *heh*...<HTML> <DIV ID="Top" WIDTH=100> this is a dynamic div depending on contents </DIV> <DIV ID="Middle" WIDTH=100 HEIGHT={page/window height - "Top" div heig +ht - "Bottom" div height)> whats left of window </DIV> <DIV ID="Bottom" WIDTH=100> this is a dynamic div depending on contents </DIV> </HTML>
