Change Width Of A Div Dynamically

I am trying to change my 'inner' div's width dynamically on the click that the images are changed (which works) with a similar script. I cannot get the script to work, any help fix

Solution 1:

Don't do it the hard way. Get rid of the fixed width of the inner div (which is the cause of all that unnecessary JavaScript problems) and just solve it with help of a good shot of CSS. Even more, the inner div is technically superfluous. Here's an SSCCE, just copy'n'paste'n'run it:

<!doctype html><htmllang="en"><head><title>SO question 2172338</title><style>#carousel {
                width: 150px;
                height: 100px;
                overflow-x: scroll;
                overflow-y: hidden;
                white-space: nowrap;
            }
        </style></head><body><divid="carousel"><imgsrc="http://sstatic.net/so/img/logo.png"width="250"height="61"><imgsrc="http://sstatic.net/so/img/logo.png"width="250"height="61"><imgsrc="http://sstatic.net/so/img/logo.png"width="250"height="61"></div></body></html>

Solution 2:

This function doesn't look right:

If you're trying to set the width of the images, then this:

functionsetStyle(baseval) {
    var style = document.getElementById("inner").getElementsByTagName("div");
    for (var i = 0; i < images.length; i++) {
        style[i].style = baseval + "px"; 
    }
}

should look like this:

functionsetStyle(baseval) {
    var images = document.getElementById("inner").getElementsByTagName("img");
    for (var i = 0; i < images.length; i++) {
        images[i].style.width = baseval + "px"; 
    }
}

Otherwise, if you're trying to set the width of the div itself, then it should look like this:

functionsetStyle(baseval) {
    var div = document.getElementById("inner");
    div.style.width = baseval + "px"; 
}

Solution 3:

Since "inner" is already a div, there is no need to call getElementsByTagName. So try this:

var innerDiv = document.getElementById("inner");
innerDiv.style.width = baseval + "px"; 

(Since 'style' is a keyword, I used a different variable name)

Solution 4:

substitute

style[i].style = baseval + "px"; 

with

 style[i].style.width = baseval + "px"; 

and give it a try
