jQuery – Set min-height of div
This is probably really easy for most of you. But I’m in need of a small snippet that looks up the current height of a div (the div has a dynamic height based on the content inside it)
and then set that value in the css class’s min-height value.
Basically what this means is that I want this container to have it’s min-height to be the exact same value as it’s current height. This is probably a quick one 🙂
If I understand you correctly, you could do the following:
$(".foo").css("min-height", function(){
return $(this).height();
});
just a proof of concept!
// attend for dom ready
$(function() {
// hide .foo before we get it's height
$('.foo').hide();
// get the height, also the one mentioned below is a good one!
var foo_height = $('.foo').height();
// see if the actual height respect our needs! esample 180px
if ( foo_height > 180 ) {
// set the height and show it!
//$('.foo').css('height', foo_height + 'px').show(); OR try
$('.foo').height( foo_height ).show();
} else {
//do something else here
}
});
this should work as expected!
var elt = document.getElementById("<%= this.your_element_id.ClientID %>");
elt.style.minHeight = elt.clientHeight + 'px';
