Can anybody please help me with a script.. or a way to get the value of
height : 1196px;
width: 284px;
from the computed style sheet (webkit). I know IE is different- as usual. I cannot access the iframe (cross domain)—I just need the height/width.
Screenshot of what I need (circled in red). How do I access those properties?
Source
<iframe id="frameId" src="anotherdomain\brsstart.htm">
<html id="brshtml" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
\--I WANT THIS ELEMENTS COMPUTED BROWSER CSS HEIGHT/WIDTH
<head>
<title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
BLA BLA BLA STUFF
</body>
</html>
\--- $('#frameId').context.lastChild.currentStyle
*This gets the actual original style set on the other domain which is "auto"
*Now how to getComputed Style?
</iframe>
The closest I got is this
$('#frameId').context.lastChild.currentStyle
That gives me the actual style on the HTML element which is "auto" and that is true as thats what's its set on the iframed document.
How do I get the computed style that all the browsers use to calculate the scroll bars, and inspect elements values?
Using Tomalaks answer I conjured up this lovely piece of script for webkit
window.getComputedStyle(document.getElementById("frameId"), null).getPropertyValue("height")
or
window.getComputedStyle(document.getElementById("frameId"), null).getPropertyCSSValue("height").cssText
Result 150px
Identical to
$('#frameId').height();
So I got them to add a id of 'brshtml' to the head- maybe it will help me select the element easier. Webkit inspection shows me now html#brshtml but I cant select it using getelementbyid
If you're already using jQuery, you can use
CSS
to get the computed /current for any style property in any browser.See this answer.
The
iframe
looks about 150px high to me. If its contents are 1196px high (and indeed, you appear to be exploring thehtml
node, according to the screenshot) and that's what you want to get, then you should navigate into the DOM of the iframe's document and apply the above technique to that.jQuery solution:
Description: Get the current computed width for the first element in the set of matched elements, including padding and border. Returns an integer (without "px") representation of the value or null if called on an empty set of elements.
You can read more about outerWidth / outerHeight at api.jquery.com
Note: the selected element must not be "display:none" (in this case you will get only the paddings as total width without the inner width )
looking at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Determining_the_dimensions_of_elements
Use .clientWidth to get an integer width in px.
