I just tried your algorithm with my previous example numbers and it does
output the correct square size (100) - also, internally it has the right
number of columns/lines: e.g. 3x4
For N = 100, the number of iteration depends on the ratio: it could be
anywhere from 19 (10x10-1) to 100 iterations (worst case happens if the
output is a single line or a single column). So that would make N
iterations (in worst cases) and ~2*SQRT(N)-1 best case.
It occurs to me that these
Sorry wrong link, I'm sure there is a component on the site somewhere that
does what you need (I think) ;)

One last addition:

/**

* @return an Object containing 'squareSize' and the number of 'cols'
and 'rows'

OK this is cool, create an MC in the library 100px w h, linkage
square, create a smaller different colour square inside it just so you
can see what's going on - Then run this:

Not that complex, it turns out...
Change the line
if (next_swidthnext_sheight) {
to
if (next_swidth=next_sheight) {
Better? :)

I've shown the resulting SWF to our graphist and she's thinking where to
implement this in our projects and the transitions/rollover/onclick
events ... totaly inspiring!
Thanks all!

All my squares need to be the same size - so for example what's the best way of
laying out 'n' equal squares in an areas x,y so the squares are as big as they
can be. There must be an algo for this kind of thing.

Probably this is not what you are looking for but: If your maximum square
count is relatively low then you could use some kind of brute-force
technique where you could try different cases. This might be the only way
if the squares are actually rectangles (i.e.
images) with varying ratios: that

Just some stupid typos. Revised is:
function squareWidth (x, y, N) {
var p = 1
var q = 1
var w1 = x
var w2 = y
var nextW1 = x/2
var nextW2 = y/2
while (true) {
var numSquares = p*q
var currWidth = Math.min(w1,w2)
if (numSquares = N) {return currWidth}

I might be being a little stupid, but since it's a square, and since
Aaaah, the Monday-effect: Yes, in fact: the problem with Steve's algorithm
is that the squares will almost never entirely fill the area. There will
always be empty gaps at every line / column and/or the last line will not be
filled completely.
If you have 5 squares to fill for example, there
Danny: I do not understand your algorithm - could you shed some more
(high-level) light on what it is doing?
Sure. The idea is that the optimal size will always be an exact fraction of
either the width or the height. So what we do is drop down by multiples of
these until we get to the first size
Wow!

output the correct square size (100) - also, internally it has the right
