GetelementById javascript Gridview Label

Hi all,

I have the below code which is a good example of changing the font size to fit the window and adjusts as the window size is changed however i cant get it to work on a label inside a gridview.

I have googled this and kept finding this piece of code but this just throws an error.
var myHeight = pageHeight();

var controlId = '<%= ((Label)GridMain.FindControl("lblGroupName")).ClientID %>';

How can i get this to work?

Code example

function SizeMe() {

var myHeight=pageHeight();

document.getElementById('a10').style.fontSize=myHeight * 0.1 + 'px';
document.getElementById('a15').style.fontSize=myHeight * 0.15 + 'px';

It works fine in:

IE8 8.0.6001.18702
FF 3.6.13
Safari 4.0.5 (531.22.7)
Chrome 8.0.552.237
Opera 11.01

if i want to apply to other columns is it just a case of changing the cells[0] and increment up for each coloumn?

I tried cells[1] but got the following

Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'gridViewCtl.rows[...].cells.1.style' is null or not an object

BurnieP

Yes

It should work the same :

If you want to apply it to every column you could also do :

Note : I have changed the variable i for variable k because EE would not let me post.

function SizeMe() {
    var myHeight = pageHeight();
    gridViewCtl = document.getElementById("<%=GridMain.ClientID%>");
    for (var k = 0; k < gridViewCtl.rows.length; k++) {
        for (var j = 0; j < gridViewCtl.rows[k].cells.length; j++) {
            gridViewCtl.rows[k].cells[j].style.fontSize = myHeight * 0.1 + 'px';
        }
    }
}

Open in new window

ok thanks ive just removed the font setting from the class for each of the labels and it seems that the original code acually already changes the font sixe for all columns anyway.

I was also wondering how i could apply the same to the header labels?

BurnieP

Hi,

My last solution is resizing header labels as well.

thanks i would like to make the header font smaller than the main data how could i split ths out in the code? thank you for your assistance im nealry there with it

BurnieP

I believe by adding an if k == 0 (first row so should be the header), you can achieve it.

function SizeMe() {
var myHeight = pageHeight();
gridViewCtl = document.getElementById("<%=GridMain.ClientID%>");
for (var k = 0; k < gridViewCtl.rows.length; k++) {
for (var j = 0; j < gridViewCtl.rows[k].cells.length; j++) {
if (k == 0) {
gridViewCtl.rows[k].cells[j].style.fontSize = myHeight * 0.1 + 'px'; // Set your smaller font here
}
else {
gridViewCtl.rows[k].cells[j].style.fontSize = myHeight * 0.1 + 'px';
}
}
}
}
