Jquery Resize Line of text To Fit Div Width
- by Douglas Cottrell
I am using the following script to resize a one line string to fit properly in a div box.
<script type="text/javascript">
$( '.test' ).css( 'font-size', 0 ).each(function ( i, box2 ) {
var width = $( box2 ).width(), line = $( box2 ).wrapInner( '<span style="white-space:nowrap">' ).children()[ 0 ];
function changeFontSize( n ) { $( box2 ).css( 'font-size', function ( i, val ) { return parseInt( val, 10 ) + n; }); }
while ( $( line ).width() < width ) { changeFontSize( 1 ); }
changeFontSize( -1 );
$( box2 ).text( $( line ).text() );
});
</script>
This script works perfect in FF, Chrome, and opera. However in IE if the user is in compatability mode it errors and locks up the browser. I do not know enough about the older browsers to know what I have added that is not compatible.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
