By modifying the code jQuery uses to implement the alsoResize
option, we can make our own alsoResizeReverse
option. Then we can simply use this as follows:
$("#resizable").resizable({
alsoResizeReverse: ".myframe"
});
The structure of the original alsoResize
option has been changed over the various versions of jQuery UI and my original code does not work in the newer versions. I ll give the code for adding this functionality in version 1.8.1 and 1.11.4.
Only a few things had to be changed, such as the obvious renaming alsoResize
to alsoResizeReverse
and subtracting the delta
instead of adding it (what makes the resize reversed). The original alsoResize
code starts on line 2200 of version 1.8.1 of jQuery UI and line 7922 of version 1.11.4. You can see the few changes needed here.
To add the alsoResizeReverse
functionality, add this to your javascript (This should be put outside of document.ready()):
For newer versions of jQuery UI (example is based on v1.11.4):
$.ui.plugin.add("resizable", "alsoResizeReverse", {
start: function() {
var that = $(this).resizable( "instance" ),
o = that.options;
$(o.alsoResizeReverse).each(function() {
var el = $(this);
el.data("ui-resizable-alsoresizeReverse", {
width: parseInt(el.width(), 10), height: parseInt(el.height(), 10),
left: parseInt(el.css("left"), 10), top: parseInt(el.css("top"), 10)
});
});
},
resize: function(event, ui) {
var that = $(this).resizable( "instance" ),
o = that.options,
os = that.originalSize,
op = that.originalPosition,
delta = {
height: (that.size.height - os.height) || 0,
width: (that.size.width - os.width) || 0,
top: (that.position.top - op.top) || 0,
left: (that.position.left - op.left) || 0
};
$(o.alsoResizeReverse).each(function() {
var el = $(this), start = $(this).data("ui-resizable-alsoresize-reverse"), style = {},
css = el.parents(ui.originalElement[0]).length ?
[ "width", "height" ] :
[ "width", "height", "top", "left" ];
$.each(css, function(i, prop) {
var sum = (start[prop] || 0) - (delta[prop] || 0);
if (sum && sum >= 0) {
style[prop] = sum || null;
}
});
el.css(style);
});
},
stop: function() {
$(this).removeData("resizable-alsoresize-reverse");
}
});
For older version (based on v1.8.1 -- my original answer):
$.ui.plugin.add("resizable", "alsoResizeReverse", {
start: function(event, ui) {
var self = $(this).data("resizable"), o = self.options;
var _store = function(exp) {
$(exp).each(function() {
$(this).data("resizable-alsoresize-reverse", {
width: parseInt($(this).width(), 10), height: parseInt($(this).height(), 10),
left: parseInt($(this).css( left ), 10), top: parseInt($(this).css( top ), 10)
});
});
};
if (typeof(o.alsoResizeReverse) == object && !o.alsoResizeReverse.parentNode) {
if (o.alsoResizeReverse.length) { o.alsoResize = o.alsoResizeReverse[0]; _store(o.alsoResizeReverse); }
else { $.each(o.alsoResizeReverse, function(exp, c) { _store(exp); }); }
}else{
_store(o.alsoResizeReverse);
}
},
resize: function(event, ui){
var self = $(this).data("resizable"), o = self.options, os = self.originalSize, op = self.originalPosition;
var delta = {
height: (self.size.height - os.height) || 0, width: (self.size.width - os.width) || 0,
top: (self.position.top - op.top) || 0, left: (self.position.left - op.left) || 0
},
_alsoResizeReverse = function(exp, c) {
$(exp).each(function() {
var el = $(this), start = $(this).data("resizable-alsoresize-reverse"), style = {}, css = c && c.length ? c : [ width , height , top , left ];
$.each(css || [ width , height , top , left ], function(i, prop) {
var sum = (start[prop]||0) - (delta[prop]||0); // subtracting instead of adding
if (sum && sum >= 0)
style[prop] = sum || null;
});
//Opera fixing relative position
if (/relative/.test(el.css( position )) && $.browser.opera) {
self._revertToRelativePosition = true;
el.css({ position: absolute , top: auto , left: auto });
}
el.css(style);
});
};
if (typeof(o.alsoResizeReverse) == object && !o.alsoResizeReverse.nodeType) {
$.each(o.alsoResizeReverse, function(exp, c) { _alsoResizeReverse(exp, c); });
}else{
_alsoResizeReverse(o.alsoResizeReverse);
}
},
stop: function(event, ui){
var self = $(this).data("resizable");
//Opera fixing relative position
if (self._revertToRelativePosition && $.browser.opera) {
self._revertToRelativePosition = false;
el.css({ position: relative });
}
$(this).removeData("resizable-alsoresize-reverse");
}
});
