I'm very new to web development so have mercy with your responses.
I have a grid of images that I want to modify. When the mouse hovers over an image, I want an overlay with text to appear over the image (this may require the cell in the grid to expand to contain all the text).
When the image with the overlay is clicked, it should open a modal (I already have this working) with the full text and info inside.
All changes need to look smooth with transitions (overlay shouldn't just be there when the mouse touches, it should animate in, etc.) when they enter/exit.
I'm not sure what the right terminology is for this, so I'm struggling to find info searching on Google. So, if you could provide me with some resources to learn this, or provide some examples, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :)
Edit: Here's close to what I want to happen
There will be an image, like this:
After the mouse hover over this image, an overlay should animate in to look like this:
The difference between this and what I want, is I want to show text instead of an icon, and I also want the cell in the grid upon which the mouse is hovering to expand to more pleasantly present the text that will be shown on the overlay.
You can do this with just css first you need to wrap your image in a div and set the position to relative. Then place the image and the overlay inside of it. Then you can use css transitions to achieve the desired effect. You will set the original opacity of the overlay to 0 and set the hover opacity to 1. Below is an example. Since you haven't posted any code I can't tell what your markup will be so I just made an example.
.img-container{
position:relative;
display:inline-block;
}
.img-container .overlay{
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
width:100%;
height:100%;
background:rgb(0,170,170);
opacity:0;
transition:opacity 500ms ease-in-out;
}
.img-container:hover .overlay{
opacity:1;
}
.overlay span{
position:absolute;
top:50%;
left:50%;
transform:translate(-50%,-50%);
color:#fff;
}
<div class="img-container">
<img src="https://placehold.it/300x300">
<div class="overlay">
<span>overlay content</span>
</div>
</div>
Set image as "block"
.img-container{
position:relative;
display:inline-block;
}
.img-container img{
display:block
}
.img-container .overlay{
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
width:100%;
height:100%;
background:rgb(0,170,170);
opacity:0;
transition:opacity 500ms ease-in-out;
}
.img-container:hover .overlay{
opacity:1;
}
.overlay span{
position:absolute;
top:50%;
left:50%;
transform:translate(-50%,-50%);
color:#fff;
}
<div class="img-container">
<img src="https://placehold.it/300x300">
<div class="overlay">
<span>overlay content</span>
</div>
</div>

Starting with this fiddle we see a basic animation of a box flying from its start position to its finish position. This is the known good code. (I tried it as a stackoverflow snippet, but it didn't work here for some reason.)
HTML
<div id="start">Start</div>
<div id="finish">Finish</div>
<div id="fly">Fly</div>
CSS
#start{
position:absolute;
background:red;
height:100px;
width:100px;
line-height:100px;
text-align:center;
left:0px;
}
#finish{
position:absolute;
background:blue;
height:100px;
width:100px;
line-height:100px;
text-align:center;
left:200px;
}
#fly{
position:absolute;
background:yellow;
height:100px;
width:100px;
line-height:100px;
text-align:center;
left:0px;
transition:1000ms;
}
#fly.finish{
left:200px
}
JavaScript
document.getElementById("fly").className = "finish";
-
Unlike the fiddle above this fiddle below however does not work. Rather than transitioning gently from the start location to the finish, it starts at the finish. This is because it should transition from a "left" property to a "right" property.
HTML
<div id="start">Start</div>
<div id="finish">Finish</div>
<div id="fly">Fly</div>
CSS
#start{
position:absolute;
background:red;
height:100px;
width:100px;
line-height:100px;
text-align:center;
left:0px;
}
#finish{
position:absolute;
background:blue;
height:100px;
width:100px;
line-height:100px;
text-align:center;
right:0px;
}
#fly{
position:absolute;
background:yellow;
height:100px;
width:100px;
line-height:100px;
text-align:center;
left:0px;
right:auto;
transition:1000ms;
}
#fly.finish{
right:0px;
left:auto;
}
Javascript
document.getElementById("fly").className = "finish";
Although I understand why this doesn't work, I need a box to fly to the right of the screen from just off the left edge of the screen. Most solutions to this issue either look strange on extremely wide screen devices, or have a slow response time on narrow mobile devices. I want an animation that's responsive to browser width, travelling more slowly across narrow screens and more quickly across wide screens.
What is the most elegant solution for this?
Ideally I'd like not to use any external libraries, but if I must, the page is already using jquery, so that would be the ideal one to use if that helps.
I'm not opposed to writing extremely long JavaScript functions, but shorter is always better.
As you know that the animation doesn't work cause can't animate two different attributes, in this case, changing left and right value in hope for the element to be animated.
My suggestion would be this:
#fly.finish {
left:calc(100% - 100px);
}
this is assuming that the box is always 100px width. Hope it helps!
Change your flying elements "left" property to (100% - elements width) as shown below.
#fly.finish{
left: calc(100% - 100px);
}
I want to make a gallery in HTML/CSS/jQuery. I have a bunch of thumbnails that all represent different images of varying sizes and orientations. When the thumbnail is clicked, I want the image to slide down from the top of the screen. The image should be as large as possible but still fitting in the window, taking into account margins and the like.
I have gotten all this to work properly in the past. However, now I want to add a caption below the image.
My solution was this. I have a div container that is fixed and is positioned with top:-96% and bottom:100% When a thumbnail is clicked, jQuery moves that to top:2% and bottom:2%
Previously I had a border that surrounded the image. Now I want to make that border actually part of a div instead, so that the border can go around the caption which should be below the image and centered, and said image.
Nothing I am doing is working, however. The image will not fit into the viewport, and will always be its max size no matter what I change the percent to.
I'm completely lost, I have no idea how to make this all work out. If you need code, I can give it to you, but as I said, it doesn't work. Thank you all in advance.
EDIT: Added code
HTML:
<div id=imgHoverCont>
<div id=imgBg>
<img id=imgHover src="" alt="">
<div id=commentHover></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#imgHoverCont{
text-align:center;
position:fixed;
left:2%;
right:2%;
top:-96%;
bottom:100%;
}
#imgHover{
display:block;
height:100%;
width:auto;
}
#imgBg{
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
max-width:100%;
max-height:100%;
}
#commentHover{
position:absolute;
left:0;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
color:black;
background-color:white;
}
JS: Thumbnails are stored in an array of objects with their ID and their source.
for(let i in thumbnails){
$(thumbnails[i].id).on("click",function(livingHell){
return function(){
$("#imgHover").attr("src",thumbnails[livingHell].src)
$("#imgHoverCont").css("display","block");
$("#commentHover").html(thumbnails[livingHell].comment);
$("#imgHoverCont").animate({bottom:"2%",top:"2%"},1000);
}
}(i));
};
I've made some changes to your CSS
if I understood your question it works like expected, look here: https://jsfiddle.net/cratgjks/
#imgHoverCont{
text-align:center;
position:fixed;
left:2%;
right:2%;
top:-96%;
bottom:100%;
width:100%; /*new rule*/
}
#imgHover{
display:block;
height:100%;
width:100%;/*changed rule*/
}
#imgBg{
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
max-width:100%;/*changed rule*/
max-height:100%;
width:1500px
}
#commentHover{
position:absolute;
left:0;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
color:black;
background-color:white;
}
I'm trying to make a fullscreen site, also responsive, but on smaller screens the elements in the container overflow making it not 100% it varies depending on how many items are in it. Using:
top:100%;
position:relative;
width:100%;
height:100%
works, only if the screen is a certain size, on mobile devices using that it doest work, and appears half on the previous container.
Is there a way to position from the bottom of the element rather than top?

Update:
Never minds found a pretty bad but working solution.
I'm pretty sure you really want a position:absolute to have another div relative to it. You just didn't word the question correctly. position:relative sets the point to which its children can be position:absolute, which is where you want to use top and the like. This is the structure you need to see:
HTML
<div class='surround'>
<div class='inside'>
<div class='outer'>
<div class='inner'>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.surround{
position:relative;
}
.inside{
height:100px; width:100px; position:absolute; top:100px; left:100px;
}
.outer{
height:100px; width:100px; position:relative;
}
.inner{
position:absolute; top:30px; left:10px;
}
I have a div that slide from the left 100% once you press a button. In that div it will display my menu for the site. The issue I am having is when on a small browser size the content gets covered and you are unable to see the rest of the links.
My div #slidingMenu has a fixed positioning and I gave the div an overflow-y:scroll. Once I added that code I did have the ability to scroll. But the problem was #slidingMenu now slides out displaying a white bar (scrollbar). Is there a way to have the main scrollbar of the browser control my menu in #slidingMenu when I scroll?
Here is the css and the file http://jsfiddle.net/bC5zh/6/
#footer{
background-color:#999;
width:100%;
height:50px;
position:absolute;
top:100%;
margin-top:-50px;
line-height:50px;
}
#toggle{
color:#FFF;
margin-left:50px;
cursor:pointer;
}
#slidingMenu{
position:fixed;
background-color:#999;
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:0;
left:-100%;
overflow-y:scroll;
}
You would use
overflow-y:auto;
To remove the scrollbar but allow for scrolling when inner content is overflowing, updated fiddle
For a smoother scroll on WebKit mobile devices you can use
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
Which mimics default iOS scrolling reference
Try adding in your css
#slidingMenu::-webkit-scrollbar {
display: none;
}
this will hide the scrollbar giving you the ability to still scroll on the site.
Running into a problem that seems to ONLY be an issue with IE, and I'm not sure how to fix it. I know a lot of people do this but I'm not sure how to make it properly work with IE.
I'm working on an ecommerce site where we want some details of a product to overlay over the top of the product image when hovering over the image. The containing DIV is the javascript trigger, but if your mouse hits the image before it hits the div, the div class change doesn't execute.
http://jsfiddle.net/eQMzg/
If you go to the jsfiddle, if you start the hover from the right or left side of the div, it works perfectly. If you start it from the bottom or top, where the image is expanded to, it doesn't.
<div class="product">
<div class="product_activitylayer" align="right" onmouseout="this.className='';this.className='product_activitylayer'" onmouseover="this.className='';this.className='product_activitylayer_hover'">
</div>
<div class="product_containertop" align="center">
<img src="images/demoimages/product.jpg" height="160">
</div>
</div>
.product {
width:244px;
height:221px;
display:block;
float:left;
margin:0px 3px 5px 0px;
border-top:solid;
border-top-color:#10B0E5;
border-top-width:6px;
}
.product_containertop {
height:160px;
width:244px;
background:#FFFFFF;
border-bottom:solid;
border-bottom-width:1px;
border-bottom-color:#C7EEFA;
margin-bottom:2px;
}
.product_activitylayer {
height:160px;
width:244px;
position:absolute;
z-index:999;
}
.product_activitylayer_hover {
height:160px;
width:244px;
position:absolute;
z-index:999;
background:#00CCFF;
opacity:.5;
filter:alpha(opacity="50");
}
John,
This one is a known bug in IE. If any element has transparent background - IE does not takes executes the hover on it. You can fix it by applying the background to .product_activitylayer and set it's opacity to 0
See I updated your fiddle.
http://jsfiddle.net/NETJ4/1/
.product_activitylayer {
height:160px;
width:244px;
position:absolute;
z-index:999;
background:#00CCFF;
opacity:0;
filter:alpha(opacity="0");
}
Or here is a improved version using jQuery
