I am utilizing a jquery plugin called jQuery Image Scale to automatically resize individual images on my website. Below is a simple example:
// HTML:
<div class='parent_container'>
<img src='image.jpg' class='resize_image' />
</div>
<div class='parent_container'>
<img src='image.jpg' class='resize_image' />
</div>
// CSS:
.parent_container {
width: 200px;
padding: 200px;
}
// jQuery:
$('.resize_image').imgscale({
fade : 1000,
scale : "fill"
});
In essence, regardless of an image's original size, it will "fill" the .parent_container without any overflow. The jQuery plugin targets all images, calculates the parent container's dimensions, and scales the image accordingly.
While this functionality works as intended, I encountered an issue when implementing a "read more" button that opens a jQuery dialog window displaying the same image. Despite applying the script to both the standard and dialog images, the styling seems to be disrupted by jQueryUI, which may alter the margin set by the script.
To rectify this, I aim to reapply the jQuery script to the active dialog window after its content has loaded, ensuring consistent styling. Here is a snippet of my code:
$(document).ready(function() {
// Apply the plugin to all images with .resize_image class
$('.resize_image').imgscale({
fade : 1000,
scale : "fill"
});
// Define dialog box properties, including reapplying the plugin upon opening
var dialog_properties = {
"width" : "600",
open : function(event,ui) {
$('.resize_image').imgscale({
fade : 1000,
scale : "fill"
});
}
};
var popup_to_open;
// Load hidden container contents when "read more" button is clicked
$(".popup_content .big_button").click(function() {
popup_to_open = $(this).attr("rel");
$("div[rel='"+popup_to_open+"']").dialog(dialog_properties);
return false;
});
});
The key challenge is ensuring the script runs post-dialog loading to apply the necessary styling. My question revolves around enhancing the open: function() section and exploring cleaner alternatives for applying the script selectively within the opened dialog box. Any insights or suggestions would be highly appreciated!
