Trying to create an accordion which remains readable

I'm trying to create an accordion with a huge amount of text inside that remains readable.
I found this useful function, but it has a problem - if the user reloads the page it doesn't work anymore.
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('.eael-accordion-header').click(function() {
var pane = $(this);
setTimeout(function() {
var $panel = pane.closest('.eael-accordion-list');
$('html,body').animate({
scrollTop: $panel.offset().top - 100
}, 500);
}, 300);
});
});
I have tried changing:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) { ... })
by
jQuery(window).on("load", function($) { ... })
But if I do that, the code doesn't works anymore and it says that $ is not a function.
I really hate jQuery, because I don't understand it at all. How can I translate this function into plain JavaScript, please?

How to add jQuery inside a JavaScript function?

I'm building some toggle function written only with JS then I wanted to add some jQuery library inside the JS function. (For a slow and smooth scroll)
However I'm not quit sure what would be the best practise to do so.
function myFunction1() {
if (subContent1.style.display === "none") {
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#container1').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 'slow');
});
setTimeout(function(){
subContent1.style.display = "block";
}, 600);
} else {
setTimeout(function(){
subContent1.style.display = "none";
}, 600);
}
}
At the moment I've put
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#container1').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 'slow');
}
right after the if statement but it's not working.
Could anyone let me know what'll be the best way to add jQuery inside JS function?

Don't mix DOM and jQuery
Don't use $(document).ready(function(){ in a function. It is not what it is for
Assuming subContent1 is a class, you can do this - it would have been useful to know where you call myFunction1
function myFunction1() {
if ($(".subContent1").not(":visible")) {
$('#container1').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 'slow');
}
setTimeout(function() {
$(".subContent1").toggle(); // show if hidden, hide if visible
}, 600);
}

**$(document).ready(function(){}**
is not required in your case,
because this method is a way to run JavaScript code as soon as the page's
Document Object Model (DOM) reload & becomes safe to manipulate.
And jQuery is written is JavaScript only, in other words just a shorthand of JavaScript.
Other code is seems fine in your code.

function myFunction1() {
if (subContent1.style.display === "none") {
$('#container1').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 'slow');
setTimeout(function(){
subContent1.style.display = "block";
}, 600);
} else {
setTimeout(function(){
subContent1.style.display = "none";
}, 600);
}
}

jQuery scroll to anchor with exception

friends,
I'm building single page website, which uses the jQuery function to scroll to an anchor, when the menu link is being selected. Here is the code I use:
(function($) {
var jump = function(e)
{
if (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var target = $(this).attr("href");
} else {
var target = location.hash;
}
$('html,body').animate(
{
scrollTop: $(target).offset().top - 150
}, 1500, 'swing', function()
{
location.hash = target - 150;
});
}
$('html, body').hide()
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('a[href^=#]').bind("click", jump);
if (location.hash) {
setTimeout(function() {
$('html, body').scrollTop(0).show()
jump()
}, 0);
} else {
$('html, body').show()
}
});
})(jQuery)
Now this function is called for all html 'a' elements with 'href'. I need to modify the function above, so it would work for all defined links except this one with the anchor #nav-menu:
<span></span>
Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

Jquery provide a set of built-in filters that you can use in your case you may use:
the built in filter not() as following:-
$("a[href^=#]:not([href=#nav-menu])").click(jump);
build you own business filter as following:-
$("a[href^=#]").filter(function() {
//you may here do whatever filteration business you want
return $(this).attr("href")!='#nav-menu';
}).click(jump);

smoothState.js conflicting with other plugins

I have managed to implement the smoothState.js plugin on my website and it works nicely, but my other very simple jQuery plugin will not work, wich starts with:
$(document).ready()
I need to refresh the page in order for it to work again.
I've read the smoothState documentation and it says I should wrap your plugin initializations in a function that we call on both $.fn.ready() and onAfter — but I'm farely new to programming, so I'm asking for your help.
How can I make my jQuery plugins work with smoothState?

You need to wrap scripts that are initiated with $(document).ready() in a function, and then call that function when you need it.
For example, let’s say this is your current script:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.btn--homepage').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var goTo = $(this).attr('href');
$('#page').addClass('is-exiting');
$(this).addClass('exit-btn');
setTimeout(function() {
window.location = goTo;
}, 260);
});
});
It’ll work fine when the page loads as it’s wrapped in $(document).ready(function()), but as the page won’t be reloading when using Smoothstate, we need a way to call the snippet both when the page originally loads and when smoothstate loads content. To do this we’ll turn the above snippet in to a function like this:
(function($) {
$.fn.onPageLoad = function() {
$('.btn--homepage').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var goTo = $(this).attr('href');
$('#page').addClass('is-exiting');
$(this).addClass('exit-btn');
setTimeout(function() {
window.location = goTo;
}, 260);
});
};
}(jQuery));
As you can see, we’ve swapped $(document).ready(function()) with the function wrapper, everything else stays the same.
So now we’ve got a function all we need to do is call it when the page loads and in Smoothstate.
To call it when a page loads all we need to do is this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('body').onPageLoad();
});
And to trigger it in Smoothstate we need to call it in the InAfter callback like this:
onAfter: function($container) {
$container.onPageLoad();
}
And here's an example Smoothstate script showing where to put the onAfter callback:
$(function() {
var $page = $('#main');
var options = {
prefetch : true,
pageCacheSize: 4,
forms: 'form',
scroll: false,
onStart: {
duration: 1200,
render: function($container) {
$container.addClass('is-exiting');
smoothState.restartCSSAnimations();
}
},
onReady: {
duration: 0,
render: function($container, $newContent) {
$container.removeClass('is-exiting');
$container.html($newContent);
$('html, body').scrollTop(0);
}
},
onAfter: function($container) {
$container.onPageLoad();
}
};
var smoothState = $('#main').smoothState(options).data('smoothState');
});
Happy to provide further assistance if needed.

Sequential order of Javascript functions

I'm having a bit of a problem with Javascript. I have a list of article titles which, when you click a title, the corresponding article appears on the right hand side (fixed at the top of the page). I have got these articles to fade in/out using Javascript. I also have a function which, when you are scrolled down and click on an article title, scrolls the page slowly back up to the top.
The problem I have is that when the page scrolls up and the article changes at the same time, the animations on both become quite choppy, especially in Safari. Is there any way to make the page scroll to the top first, then make the article change?
I'm basically asking if there is away to make my Javascript functions happen one after the other, rather than at the same time?
Heres my Javascript:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.scrollup').click(function () {
$("body").animate({
scrollTop: 0
}, 'slow');
return false;
});
$('.articlelist ul li').click(function() {
var i = $(this).index();
$('.fullarticle').fadeTo(500,0);
$('#article' + (i+1)).fadeTo(500,1);
});
});
Any help would be hugely appreciated!
Thank you

I'm guessing you want to keep the click functionality on your article list and only the elements with class scrollup have 2 animations.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.articlelist ul li').click(function () {
var i = $(this).index();
if ($(this).is(".scrollup")) {
$("body").animate({
scrollTop: 0
}, 'slow', function () {//when animation completes
fadeArticle(i);
});
} else {
fadeArticle(i);
}
});
function fadeArticle(i) {
$('.fullarticle').fadeTo(500, 0);
$('#article' + (i + 1)).fadeTo(500, 1);
}
});

In your call to animate() you'd want to add a function to be called upon completion. The animate function provided by JQuery takes a function as an optional parameter. When the animation completes that function is called.
You could use something like this:
$('.scrollup').click(function () {
$("body").animate({
scrollTop: 0
}, 'slow', showArticle);
return false;
});
showArticle would be a call to a function that fades the article in like the anonymous one in your click listener. You would probably need some way to pass an argument about which article should be shown.

I'm relatively new to this, but I think this may work. What I'm trying to do is enclose each of these as a callable function and then pass one function as the callback to the other.
$(document).ready(function () {
scrollTop(showArticle());
});
function scrollTop(callback) {
$('.scrollup').click(function () {
$("body").animate({
scrollTop: 0
}, 'slow');
callback;
});
}
function showArticle() {
$('.articlelist ul li').click(function () {
var i = $(this).index();
$('.fullarticle').fadeTo(500, 0);
$('#article' + (i + 1)).fadeTo(500, 1);
});
}
