    Building Image Zooming Controls with the DOM for JavaScript - Source code for the image zooming application


    (Page 4 of 4 )

    As I stated in the section you just read, below I listed the definitive source code corresponding to this JavaScript-driven zooming application. This time it will incorporate all of the improvements that were progressively implemented during the previous tutorials of the series:


    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    <head>

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

    <title>Zooming images with JavaScript (targets any web page element)</title>

    <style type="text/css">

    body{

    padding: 0;

    margin: 0;

    background: #fff;

    }

    h1{

    font: bold 14pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

    color: #000;

    text-align: center;

    }

    img{

    position: absolute;

    }

    #container{

    position: relative;

    width: 263px;

    height: 150px;

    margin-left: auto;

    margin-right: auto;

    overflow: hidden;

    background: #9cf;

    border: 1px solid #000;

    }

    #controlpanel{

    width: 263px;

    padding: 10px 0 10px 0;

    margin-left: auto;

    margin-right: auto;

    background: #9cf;

    text-align: center;

    border: 1px solid #000;

    }

    </style>

    <script type="text/javascript">

    // zoom in web page element

    function ZoomInElement(id,inc,maxWidth){

     var elem=document.getElementById(id);

     if(!elem||elem.getAttribute('width')>=maxWidth){return};

    elem.setAttribute('width',parseInt(elem.getAttribute('width'))+inc);

    elem.setAttribute('height',parseInt(elem.getAttribute('height'))+inc);

    if(!elem.style.left){elem.style.left='0px'};

    if(!elem.style.top){elem.style.top='0px'};

    elem.style.left=parseInt(elem.style.left)-(inc/2)+'px';

    elem.style.top=parseInt(elem.style.top)-(inc/2)+'px';

    }

    // zoom out web page element

    function ZoomOutElement(id,inc,minWidth){

     var elem=document.getElementById(id);

     if(!elem||elem.getAttribute('width')<=minWidth){return};

    elem.setAttribute('width',parseInt(elem.getAttribute('width'))-inc);

    elem.setAttribute('height',parseInt(elem.getAttribute('height'))-inc);

    if(!elem.style.left){elem.style.left='0px'};

    if(!elem.style.top){elem.style.top='0px'};

    elem.style.left=parseInt(elem.style.left)+(inc/2)+'px';

    elem.style.top=parseInt(elem.style.top)+(inc/2)+'px';

    }

    // build zoom panel

    function buildZoomPanel(){

    var div=document.createElement('div');

    div.setAttribute('id','controlpanel');

    var btnplus=document.createElement('input');

    btnplus.setAttribute('type','button');

    btnplus.setAttribute('value','+');

    var btnminus=document.createElement('input');

    btnminus.setAttribute('type','button');

    btnminus.setAttribute('value','-');

    div.appendChild(btnplus);

    div.appendChild(btnminus);

    document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(div);

    btnplus.onclick=function(){ZoomInElement('image',20,800)};

    btnminus.onclick=function(){ZoomOutElement('image',20,263)};

    }

    // display zoom panel when web page is loaded

    window.onload=function(){

    if(document.getElementById&&document.getElementsByTagName&&document.createTextNode){

    buildZoomPanel();

    }

    }

    </script>

    </head>

    <body>

    <h1>Zooming elements with JavaScript (targets any web page element)</h1>

    <div id="container"><img src="sample_image.jpg" width="263" height="150" id="image" /></div>

    </body>

    </html>


    That's all the source code required to implement this extensible zooming application on your own computer successfully. In addition, I also included a couple of screen shots that show how a sample image can be easily zoomed out using the application in question.

    Here are the aforementioned screen shots:




    Naturally, you're totally free to tweak all of the code samples developed in this tutorial, so that you can start building your own full-blown zooming application by utilizing this friendly guide. Happy coding!

    Final thoughts

    This is the end of the series. I hope you have enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it, which would mean much to me. Besides, if you're a novice web developer who's taking their first steps into this fascinating terrain, you can learn the basics of how to build JavaScript applications that degrade gracefully when scripting is disabled on the browser.

    See you in the next web development tutorial!
