I\'m trying to figure out how to have a div dynamically resize, based on the size of the browser window. I\'ve set up a jsbin that illustrates my problem, here: http://jsbin
You can do something like this:
var width = $(window).width() - 25;
$("#mydiv").width(width);
25 is just a sample number, for example your margin (you can get this dynamically too)
You may also want to wrap it into a function and call this on both page load and on resize
You can try to bind to the resize event of the browser's window.
For example:
window.onresize = function() {
//your code
}
Use CSS position:absolute/relative in combination with CSS top/bottom/left/right. Example:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
html, body { margin:0; padding:0; width:100%; height:100%; }
#head { width:100%; height:100px; background:black; color:white; }
#head > h1 { margin:0; }
#body { position:absolute; width:100%; top:100px; bottom:25px; background:red; }
#body > div { position:absolute !important; }
#body-sidebar { width:200px; top:0; bottom:0; background:black; color:white; }
#body-content { left:200px; right:0; top:0; bottom:0; background:white; overflow:scroll; }
#body-content > img { margin:25px; width:500px; vertical-align:middle; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Head -->
<div id="head">
<h1>Header</h1>
</div>
<!-- Body -->
<div id="body">
<!-- Sidebar -->
<div id="body-sidebar">
<h2>Sidebar</h2>
</div>
<!-- Content -->
<div id="body-content">
<h2>Content</h2>

</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Position must be fixed so it will be resized automatically.
If screen height changed in run time
Put this in CSS sheet:
#FitScreenHeight
{
position:fixed
height:100%
}
