Why my javascript drag resize box doesn't work as expected
Question
This is my code. I prefer to create a resize box purely on javascript without jquery.The code enable me to resize the width of paragraph when i drag it over but it seems like it don't work as expected.
<html>
<head>
<style>
div{
border: 1px solid black;
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
p{
border: 1px solid red;
position: absolute;
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
</style>
<script>
window.onload = function(){
document.body.onmousedown = function(event){
var mouseStartX = event.clientX;
var mouseStartY = event.clientY;
var div = document.getElementsByTagName("div");
var para = document.createElement("p");
div[0].appendChild(para);
document.styleSheets[0].cssRules[1].style.top = mouseStartY;
document.styleSheets[0].cssRules[1].style.left = mouseStartX;
document.body.onmousemove = function(event){
if(para){
document.styleSheets[0].cssRules[1].style.width = event.clientY - mouseStartY;
}
}
document.body.onmouseup = function(){
div[0].removeChild(para);
}
};
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Use:
document.body.onmousemove = function (event) {
if (para) {
document.styleSheets[0].cssRules[1].style.width = event.clientX - mouseStartX;
}
}
instead of:
document.body.onmousemove = function (event) {
if (para) {
document.styleSheets[0].cssRules[1].style.width = event.clientY - mouseStartY;
}
}
Otherwise, the p element will only resize on vertical movement, not horizontal.

I can only attempt to answer your question because your wording is a bit vague. However, I copy and pasted your code into a test HTML file that I loaded into my web browser, and I can guess what the problem that you're having is. The problem is that the p enlarges as you drag your cursor, but it doesn't enlarge all the way so that the right border is in line with your cursor.
First of all, in your document.body.onmousemove function:
document.body.onmousemove = function (event) {
if (para) {
document.styleSheets[0].cssRules[1].style.width = event.clientY - mouseStartY;
}
}
You wrote event.clientY and mouseStartY when I think that you meant event.clientX and mouseStartX . However, you are also modifying a CSS rule, so you have to append the unit px to the end of the width:
document.body.onmousemove = function (event) {
if (para) {
document.styleSheets[0].cssRules[1].style.width = (event.clientX - mouseStartX) + "px";
// The parentheses are technically not required; I put them there for clarity.
}
}
The same goes for these two lines of code:
document.styleSheets[0].cssRules[1].style.top = mouseStartY;
document.styleSheets[0].cssRules[1].style.left = mouseStartX;
You forgot to include the units. Just add + "px" before the end of each line:
document.styleSheets[0].cssRules[1].style.top = mouseStartY + "px";
document.styleSheets[0].cssRules[1].style.left = mouseStartX + "px";
Additionally, it is better just to delete window.onmousemove and window.onmouseup in your window.onmouseup function instead of checking for para in your window.onmousemove function. Even after you remove para from the div , it still evaluates to true .
Finally, instead of modifying the stylesheet via document.styleSheets[0].cssRules[1] , you could just directly edit the style of para by using para.style.width instead of document.styleSheets[0].cssRules[1].style.width .
I rewrote your window.onload function like this:
window.onload = function(){
document.body.onmousedown = function(event){
var mouseStartX = event.clientX,
mouseStartY = event.clientY,
div = document.getElementsByTagName("div"),
para = document.createElement("p");
div[0].appendChild(para);
para.style.top = mouseStartY + "px";
para.style.left = mouseStartX + "px";
document.body.onmousemove = function(event){
para.style.width = event.clientX - mouseStartX + "px";
//para.style.height = event.clientY - mouseStartY + "px";
// Uncomment the line above if you want to drag the height, too.
}
document.body.onmouseup = function(){
div[0].removeChild(para);
document.body.onmousemove = null;
document.body.onmouseup = null;
}
};
};

Cross-browser compatible solution also using window scroll offset and mouse movement in all four quadrants:
window.onload = function () {
var div = document.getElementsByTagName("div")[0];
var para = null, mouseStartX, mouseStartY; //top & left coordinates of paragraph
document.body.onmousedown = function (event) {
if (para) {
return;
}
event = event || window.event; // for IE8/7 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7790725/javascript-track-mouse-position#7790764
// https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/window.scrollY#Notes
var scrollX = (window.pageXOffset !== undefined) ? window.pageXOffset : (document.documentElement || document.body.parentNode || document.body).scrollLeft;
var scrollY = (window.pageYOffset !== undefined) ? window.pageYOffset : (document.documentElement || document.body.parentNode || document.body).scrollTop;
mouseStartX = event.clientX + scrollX;
mouseStartY = event.clientY + scrollY;
para = document.createElement("p");
div.appendChild(para);
para.style.top = mouseStartY + 'px';
para.style.left = mouseStartX + 'px';
para.style.width = '0px';
para.style.height = '0px';
};
document.body.onmousemove = function (event) {
if (!para) {
return;
}
event = event || window.event;
var scrollX = (window.pageXOffset !== undefined) ? window.pageXOffset : (document.documentElement || document.body.parentNode || document.body).scrollLeft;
var scrollY = (window.pageYOffset !== undefined) ? window.pageYOffset : (document.documentElement || document.body.parentNode || document.body).scrollTop;
var mouseCurrentX = event.clientX + scrollX;
var mouseCurrentY = event.clientY + scrollY;
if (mouseCurrentX >= mouseStartX) {
para.style.left = mouseStartX + 'px';
para.style.width = (mouseCurrentX - mouseStartX) + 'px';
} else {
para.style.left = mouseCurrentX + 'px';
para.style.width = (mouseStartX - mouseCurrentX) + 'px';
}
if (mouseCurrentY >= mouseStartY) {
para.style.top = mouseStartY + 'px';
para.style.height = (mouseCurrentY - mouseStartY) + 'px';
} else {
para.style.top = mouseCurrentY + 'px';
para.style.height = (mouseStartY - mouseCurrentY) + 'px';
}
};
document.body.onmouseup = function () {
div.removeChild(para);
para = null;
};
};
