Tutorial Viewport Size, Screen Resolution, Mouse Postition

by in , 0

This code is cross-browser compatible and checks the dimensions of the viewport, the screen resolution and the mouseposition which can be quite helpful to perform some checks with JavaScript.

<script type="text/javascript">
function getViewportWidth()
{
       if (window.innerWidth)
       {
               return window.innerWidth;
       }
       else if (document.body && document.body.offsetWidth)
       {
               return document.body.offsetWidth;
       }
       else
       {
               return 0;
       }
}

function getViewportHeight()
{
       if (window.innerHeight)
       {
               return window.innerHeight;
       }
       else if (document.body && document.body.offsetHeight)
       {
               return document.body.offsetHeight;
       }
       else
       {
               return 0;
       }
}

var tellMeTheSizes=function()
{
       document.getElementById("viewportwidth").innerHTML = getViewportWidth() + "px";
       document.getElementById("viewportheight").innerHTML = getViewportHeight() + "px";
       document.getElementById("resolutionheight").innerHTML = screen.height + "px";
       document.getElementById("resolutionwidth").innerHTML = screen.width + "px";
}

window.onload=function()
{
       tellMeTheSizes();
}

window.onresize=function()
{
       tellMeTheSizes();
}

window.onmousemove=function(event)
{
       ev = event || window.event;
       document.getElementById("mousetop").innerHTML = ev.pageY + "px";
       document.getElementById("mouseleft").innerHTML = ev.pageX + "px";
}

Tutorial Trim First/Last Characters in String

by in , 0

Remove last four characters

var myString = "abcdefg";
var newString = myString.substr(0, myString.length-4); 
// newString is now "abc"

Remove first two characters

var myString = "abcdefg";
var newString = myString.substr(2);
// newString is now "cdefg"

Notes

The substr function can be called on any string with two integer parameters, the second optional. If only one provided, it starts at that integer and moves to the end of the string, chopping off the start. If two parameters provided, it starts at the first number and ends at the second, chopping off the start and end as it is able.

Example

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
