resize DIV matching the new content with jquery
Question by Sandro Antonucci
I have a DIV which shows one image at once coming from an ajax script, the images are all different in height and are showed with fadeIn/fadeOut (just for the tag)
How can I allow to resize the DIV (that contains the img tag of course) “sliding” based on the new content before the images that fadein changes the DIV height very rudely? 😛
Thanks

Well do Something like this
$(".change").click(function() {
$(".mydiv").fadeOut('slow');
$(".myimg").attr("src",'');
$(".myimg").attr("src","linktonewimage.jpg");
var newheight = $(".myimg").height();
$(".mydiv").css("height",newheight+"px");
$(".mydiv").fadeIn('slow');
});
I am assuming you have a <img> tag with myimg class inside a div with mydiv class.
