I want to be able to dynamically change width and height in a div that gets created by a function. The code below works but the style rules gets added directly in the HTML document, which is something I want to avoid. Instead I want the properties to be added directly to the CSS file. Is there a way to achive that?
...function(width, height) {
var div = $('<div/>', {
class': 'window',
width': width,
height': height
}).appendTo('#content');
}
You can't write directly to the CSS files using jQuery or JavaScript, you can append in the live / rendered HTML (like you're doing above).
Why not add a class to the CSS and just switch or append that class to your DIV using jQuery?
why do you need to add a class in CSS file with jquery? You can't do this directly. You can add a <style>....</style> tag in your HTML page's <head> tag with jQuery which is support you much. You can use the following methods to solve this:
var myStyle = { "width": "100%", "height": "90%" };
$('#content').css(myStyle);
OR
$("<style type='text/css'>#content { width: 100%; height: 90% }</style>").appendTo("head");
OR
$.rule('#content{ width: 100%; height: 90% }').appendTo('style');
But remember you need to use plugin for use $.rule .
$.rule is not supported by the jquery core, you have to include a plugin
