Hello,

this jquery question: when I set a specific height to a "#div", i want to set the width of a inner object automatically too (cause i need a width to read it out)

[ "#div"

["object"]

]

example:

(object).css(width: [ CALCULATION ], height: ($("#div").height())+'px' )

the original proportion of the image is: 1600x1080

here's the link to the attachment, take a look at it (tinypic): link text

the heights "500px", "600px" and "700px" you can see in the attachment are just examples, the heigth could also be "711px", "623px", "998px" etc. cause the "#div" scales with the browser (i can read out the height of window, that works)

my math skills aren't really good, would be great if someone could help me out :-)
