1) when is the offsetWidth property set? I have the following code
here as an example, I cannot explain why this behavior is happening.
Look at the comments for details.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
------main.xml-----
<view width="200" height="25" resizable="false"
showCaptionAlways="true" onopen="onOpen();">
<script src="main.js"/>
<div name="mq" background="#ffffff" width="200" height="100%" />
</view>
------main.js-------
function onOpen(){
debug.trace('Loaded');
var RSSItem = "A RSS Feed";
var xmlString1 = "<a name = 'link1' align='left' href=" + "'http://
www.google.com'" + ">"+RSSItem+"</a>";
mq.appendElement(xmlString1);
debug.trace(mq.children("link1").offsetWidth); // this prints 0
fixlengths();
marqueeint = view.setInterval('Animate();',50);
}
function fixlengths(){
debug.trace(mq.children("link1").offsetWidth); //again outputs 0
}
function Animate(){
debug.trace(mq.children("link1").offsetWidth); //this outputs 60
repeatedly
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) What I am trying to do is fill a div with a link objects. The
problem is I do not know the size of individual link objects in pixels
so I can set the width of the div dynamically. Eventually I want to
concat all the titles of a RSS feed into one long line of text and
have a div big enough to hold hem, and know the width of that div. Any
ideas?
Thanks in advance.
