I have a function that equalise element heights on older browsers with javascript. The problem is that I have to run that function at a 3 second interval or so due to ajax content. I cant use the callback function on the content update since it is build into a CMS I cant touch.
I have the following coffeescript file:
class window.ApplicationController
constructor: ->
#fire code
@equalColumnHeight()
#......
equalColumnHeight: ->
console.log "equal height"
colLeft = 0
if @browserwidth > 1024
colLeft = (@columnPageTreeNav + @columnSidebarA)
colHeight = Math.max(colLeft, @columnPageTreeNav, @columnContent, @columnSidebarA, @columnSidebarB)
$("#content, #sidebar_a, #sidebar_b").height colHeight
$("#sidebar_a").css "top", (@columnPageTreeNav + 190)
My initial idea was to fire the function at an interval like this:
class window.ApplicationController
constructor: ->
#fire code
@equalColumnHeight()
setInterval @equalColumnHeight(), 3000
#......
equalColumnHeight: ->
colLeft = 0
if @browserwidth > 1024
colLeft = (@columnPageTreeNav + @columnSidebarA)
colHeight = Math.max(colLeft, @columnPageTreeNav, @columnContent, @columnSidebarA, @columnSidebarB)
$("#content, #sidebar_a, #sidebar_b").height colHeight
$("#sidebar_a").css "top", (@columnPageTreeNav + 190)
But that does not work, any ideas?
