    <p>I am creating a horizontal layout wordpress theme for a photography portfolio site and used the code example in the post "<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1015669/calculate-total-width-of-children-with-jquery">Calculate total width of Children with jQuery</a>" which works, but only when I refresh the page. </p> <p>The jquery is in a separate file called horizontal.js and is being enqueued from the wordpress theme's functions.php file. The js gets the width of all the list items in the posts, adds them up and puts the width on the body of single post pages.</p> <pre><code>jQuery(document).ready(function($) { var width = 0; $('body.single .long li').each(function() { width += $(this).outerWidth( true ); }); $('body.single').css('width', width + 500); }); </code></pre> <p>I have been reading up on the difference between <code>(window).load</code> and <code>(document).ready</code> and it seems that what I have should be the best solution because I only want this function to execute once. I think the problem is where I am putting the js or it is interacting poorly with anther script or I need to delay the page loading until the script has fired, but I'm not sure how to check for these problems. </p> <p>The site is under development and the link is <a href="http://www.laurendarling.com/2011website/photography/afterparty/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.laurendarling.com/2011website/photography/afterparty/</a> username: guest, password: guest. If you click on the highlighted post title in the side nav the page reloads and js puts the width on the body tag allowing the horizontal layout. </p>

    2. COIt's not clear what the problem is. The pages look fine; are the photographs supposed to be laid out horizontally or something? If so, that doesn't happen for me (Chrome) whether I reload the page or not. It does appear that the `<body>` is getting its width set by that code, however.

    3. COI can't get Chrome's sometimes-worthless developer console to let me debug the code. I'd add some console.log calls or something to see what that script is picking up as the "outerWidth()" measurement of the elements, because that's clearly what the problem must be. You might also try binding this to the "load" handler (instead of "ready") to make sure all the images are ready (since that's really the important thing, and is probably why the code works sometimes upon page reload - the images would be cached at that point).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
