Using FitText jquery plugin to resize text
jquery, jquery-plugins, responsive-design
Solution
In case anyone's interested, you can solve this problem now using a flexslider callback like so:
$('.flexslider').flexslider({
animationLoop: true,
directionNav: false,
start: function(){$(".fittext").fitText();},
after: function(){$(".fittext").fitText();}
});
Problem
I'm trying to use the FitText jquery plugin to get resize some text. The problem is that the text only gets blown up after a window resize event. ``` // Resizer() resizes items based on the object width divided by the compressor * 10 var resizer = function () { $this.css('font-size', Math.max(Math.min($this.width() / (compressor*10), parseFloat(settings.maxFontSize)), parseFloat(settings.minFontSize))); }; // Call once to set. resizer(); ``` It looks like the script calls the "resizer" function at least once initially. Am I missing something here? This is how I'm using the script: ``` <script src="/js/jquery.fittext.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $("h1").fitText(.6); </script> </body> ``` I'm pretty new at this stuff and really just trying to throw things together so any help will be much appreciated. EDIT I should have been more specific in my description of the issue. I am attempting to utilize FitText within the caption box of a FlexSlider. I was able to get Ankit's example below to work, but the FlexSlider caption text remained incorrect. I believe that a necessary slider element is not loaded in time for FitText to take effect. I worked around this with the following awful code: ``` <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('#spinner').hide(); setTimeout( function() { $("h1").fitText(.6); }, 200 ); setTimeout( function() { $("h1").fitText(.6); }, 300 ); setTimeout( function() { $("h1").fitText(.6); }, 500 ); setTimeout( function() { $("h1").fitText(.6); }, 700 ); setTimeout( function() { $("h1").fitText(.6); }, 1500 ); }); </script> ``` I know that must be a hack of hacks, but my text now resizes as desired. If anyone could suggest a better way, I'm all ears.
