I'm working on a fluid layout project. I have some fixed height DIVs in my document, and the heights are different for all of them. I need to proportionally change these DIVs height on browser resize. Here is the markup.
<body>
<div id="a" class="target"></div>
<div id="b" class="target"></div>
<div id="c" class="target"></div>
</body>
And css:
<style>
body { width: 90%; margin: 0 auto;}
.target { width:30%; float:left; margin:1.6%; cursor:pointer; }
#a { height: 200px; background-color: yellow;}
#b { height: 400px; background-color: green;}
#c { height: 600px; background-color: grey;}
</style>
Sounds easy! The main condition is that i don't know the precize amount of target DIVs and their IDs, that's why i'm using .each(function()). Here is script i wrote:
$(document).ready(function(){
//set the initial body width
var originalWidth = 1000;
/*I need to go through all target divs because i don't know
how many divs are here and what are their initial height*/
$(".target").each(function()
{
//get the initial height of every div
var originalHeight = $(this).height();
//get the new body width
var bodyWidth = $("body").width();
//get the difference in width, needed for hight calculation
var widthDiff = bodyWidth - originalWidth;
//new hight based on initial div height
var newHeight = originalHeight + (widthDiff / 10);
//sets the different height for every needed div
$(this).css("height", newHeight);
});
});
This script perfectly works when user reload the page. How can i get the same results dinamically, when user resizes browser without reloading? I know i should apply $(window).resize event listener. But the problem is that DIV's initial height will be calculated inside the event and the result will be almoust like endless loop- that is the final height will increase or decrease in huge progression. I don't need that! How can i make each DIV initial height calculation outside event function and then use these heights inside event function? Or may be there is another aproach to get the same result?
