How do I find out the width of left/right columns (real time)

[PascalVG]

Hi,

 

I need to know the 'current width' of the left/right columns, to adjust a box so that it fits neatly. Is there any function or so that can give me these values somewhere? I believe the values are hard set in global.css, but need to compare 'real time' with this width.

 

(Why: in backoffice the user can change a box width, but it shouldn't be bigger than the column width)

 

Anyone?

 

Thanks.

Being hard coded in the css it will be difficult to get especially with other themes. Can you not just use 100% width?

Hi DH42,

If indeed hard to find, maybe I should let the user add a % instead of a fixed width in pixels.

 

I'll try that :-)

 

Thanks!
