Question

So I’m trying to set up this jQuery CSS dock menu and you can enter in a proximity in the setup. The proximity determines when the zoom will be triggered, but you only get to put in one distance — same for height and width. How can I change this code to allow to enter in a single one for height and a single one for width -OR- how can I just have one value entered in but have the vertical one cut in half? either one works… here’s the bit of code that I think needs to be changed… if you need the whole thing let me know and I’ll post the rest of it

jQuery(document).bind('mousemove', function(e) {
  var pointer = jQuery.iUtil.getPointer(e);
  var toAdd = 0;

  if (el.fisheyeCfg.halign && el.fisheyeCfg.halign == 'center') 
    var posx = pointer.x - el.fisheyeCfg.pos.x 
               - (el.offsetWidth - el.fisheyeCfg.itemWidth * el.fisheyeCfg.items.size())
               / 2 - el.fisheyeCfg.itemWidth / 2;
  else if (el.fisheyeCfg.halign && el.fisheyeCfg.halign == 'right') 
    var posx = pointer.x - el.fisheyeCfg.pos.x - el.offsetWidth 
               + el.fisheyeCfg.itemWidth * el.fisheyeCfg.items.size();
  else 
    var posx = pointer.x - el.fisheyeCfg.pos.x;

  var posy = Math.pow(pointer.y - el.fisheyeCfg.pos.y - el.offsetHeight / 2, 2);

  el.fisheyeCfg.items.each(function(nr) {
    distance = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(posx - nr * el.fisheyeCfg.itemWidth, 2) + posy);
    distance -= el.fisheyeCfg.itemWidth / 2;
    distance = distance < 0 ? 0 : distance;
    distance = distance > el.fisheyeCfg.proximity ? el.fisheyeCfg.proximity : distance;
    distance = el.fisheyeCfg.proximity - distance;
    extraWidth = el.fisheyeCfg.maxWidth * distance / el.fisheyeCfg.proximity;
    this.style.width = el.fisheyeCfg.itemWidth + extraWidth + 'px';
    this.style.left = el.fisheyeCfg.itemWidth * nr + toAdd + 'px';
    toAdd += extraWidth;
  });
  jQuery.iFisheye.positionContainer(el, toAdd);
});

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I messed around with the script and ended up changing it a bit more than I planned.

You will now need to call the script using a few new parameters: itemHeight, proximityX and proximityY

$(document).ready(function() {
 $('#fisheye').Fisheye({
  maxWidth: 90,
  items: 'a',
  itemsText: 'span',
  container: '.fisheyeContainter',
  itemWidth: 40,
  itemHeight: 40,
  proximityX: 90,
  proximityY: 10,
  halign : 'center'
 })
});

I didn’t minify it, but here is the modified plugin in full:
