Below is a sample code using the YUI Slider Control. How can I get the photo to zoom in and out proportionally as the slider moves up and down?

P.S. I am open to any existing working scripts. I have not been able to find any that does a variable zoom.

<h1>Bottom to top Vertical Slider</h1>

<div class="exampleIntro">
	<p>This example demonstrates a vertical implementation of the <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/slider/">YUI Slider Control</a>. Some characteristics of this implementation include the following:</p>
<ul>
    <li>The slider range is 200 pixels.</li>
    <li>CSS is used to place the slide thumb at the bottom of the slider.</li>

    <li>Custom logic is added to the slider instance to convert the offset value to a &quot;real&quot; value calculated from a provided min/max range.</li>
    <li>The custom min value is set to 10; the max 110.</li>
    <li>Once the slider has focus, the up and down keys will move the thumb 20 pixels (changing the &quot;real&quot; value by 10).</li>
    <li>When the slider value changes, the pixel offset and calculated value are reported below the slider.</li>
</ul>
			
</div>

Mike,

This is a reasonably light adaptation of the sample code.

In HTML, give your book image the attribute id="z_img" .

In javascript,

//-- change
/*
        minValue : 10,
        maxValue : 110,
*/
//-- to
        minValue : 70, //minimum book width
        maxValue : 185, //maximum book width

//-- change
/*
    var offset_span = YAHOO.util.Dom.get('d_offset');
    var calc_span   = YAHOO.util.Dom.get('d_val');

    slider.subscribe('change', function (offsetFromStart) {
        offset_span.innerHTML = offsetFromStart;
        calc_span.innerHTML   = this.getCalculatedValue();
    });
*/
//-- to
    var zoom_img = YAHOO.util.Dom.get('z_img');//Find the DOM node for the target image
    slider.subscribe('change', function (offsetFromStart) {
        zoom_img.style.width = this.getCalculatedValue() + 'px';//browser looks after height, maintaining image's aspect ratio.
    });
    slider.setValue ( -100, true, false, false );//initialise the slider position and book size
    //parameters: setValue (newOffset , skipAnim , force , silent)

You will probably want to adjust the CSS (float:right) to make the book image zoom from its top-left as opposed to its top-right corner.

Airshow,

Thanks for the reply. It almost works. Instead of exapnding or shrinking the book, it moves it from left or right of center. Nice effect though!

Any thoughts on getting it to zoom? I tried playing with it, but no luck. I do like the idea of staring the slider at midpoint and being able to shrink the image instead of just enlarging it.

You can see a working test at
http://www.cliffordharrington.com/ui_vertical_slider/index.htm.

Thanks.

Mike,

You put the id="z_img" attribute in the wrong place. It belongs in the <img> tag, not its containing <div>, which should keep its id="photo" .

With a bit of maths, you can control the "zoom center". Natural behaviour is "top-left" but you could have "top-center", "top-right", "center-left", "center-center", "center-right", "top-left", "top-center", "top-right" - or anything you like I suppose..

Airshow

That fixed it. Thanks!!!
