I'm using Bootstrap 3 and want to achieve this effect when the user scrolls past the large header image on my page. I need the background of the navbar to go from transparent to white. I looked in their code and I KNOW it is done with javascript, and even saw WHERE it was happening I think (look for the ID '#main-header' in that JS)...
Not knowing advanced Javascript aside, I'm looking for a way to apply this to my navigation bar when scrolling past a certain point. The class for my code is called 'navbar' and I would like it to turn white when it passes "#main". Let me know if you need more information, and thanks in advance if anyone wants to help!
The easiest way to accomplish what you're trying to do is a combination of some simple javascript (jQuery powered in this case) and CSS3 transitions.
We'll use JS to check for the windows scroll position on every scroll event and compare it to the distance of the bottom of the #main element - if the scroll position is greater, then we'll apply a class to the body to indicate we've scrolled past #main, and then we'll use CSS to define the nav styling for that "state."
So, our basic markup:
<nav class="nav">
[logo]
</nav>
<div id="main">#main</div>
<div id="below-main">#below-main</div>
And our javascript:
// get the value of the bottom of the #main element by adding the offset of that element plus its height, set it as a variable
var mainbottom = $('#main').offset().top + $('#main').height();
// on scroll,
$(window).on('scroll',function(){
// we round here to reduce a little workload
var stop = Math.round($(window).scrollTop());
if (stop > mainbottom) {
$('.nav').addClass('past-main');
} else {
$('.nav').removeClass('past-main');
}
});
And, our styles:
.nav {
background-color:transparent;
color:#fff;
transition: all 0.25s ease;
position:fixed;
top:0;
width:100%;
background-color:#ccc;
padding:1em 0;
/* make sure to add vendor prefixes here */
}
.nav.past-main {
background-color:#fff;
color:#444;
}
#main {
height:500px;
background-color:red;
}
#below-main {
height:1000px;
background-color:#eee;
}

This is how I did it here. I also employ some scroll throttling and a bit more complicated styling semantics, but this is the gist of it.
If you're using Twitter Bootstrap this can be achieved with the 'Affix' plugin
It's pretty straight forward to set up, here is the documentation
You could probably just use javascript element.scrollTop along with Jquery addClass and removeClass. Haven't tried it myself though.
Here's an overflow link for getting scrollbar position: How to get scrollbar position with Javascript?

I have a seemingly basic question that I can't find any resources in what I am trying to acheive. I'm new to JavaScript and fairly mediocre at CSS.
What I am trying to accomplish is this. A page which can be displayed on a TV screen showing a list of sports results, overflowing to the right. I want the page to automatically scroll that div across to the right (which has a dynamic length depending on the amount of content) so it can see all the scores across all divisions and automaticaly scroll content to the right. When it reaches the end, pause, and then refresh (using Ajax) snapping back to the beginning.
I'm sure if I can be pointed in the direction of the right functions to use I can hook the various parts together.
Here's an example of something I am trying to run on page load that I'd like to scroll smoothly to the end over the course of 10 seconds, I just can't work out how to identify/set the "end" of the div.
$('#ScrollMe').animate({
scrollX: ??? //To div end;
}, 10000);
I think if I can solve this part, I can solve the rest.
Any pointers? Javascript, CSS.... open to anything!
You can use the .scrollWidth property to determine how far to scroll, subtracting the visible width will give a more accurate end point, eg:
(styles and animation time set to 2s, just to demonstrate what's happening)
$("#scrollMe").animate({
scrollLeft: ($("#scrollMe")[0].scrollWidth - $("#scrollMe").width()) + "px"
}, 2000);
#scrollMe { width: 100%; border:1px solid blue; overflow:auto; }
#inner { width: 6000px; border:5px solid red; height:20px; }
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id=scrollMe>
<div id=inner>
</div>
</div>
You just need to apply overflow: scroll css propertie, to the div you want to "overflow" the page width. So it will add a bar below the div, such as the default scrolling bar of every browser.
parentDivWithContentToOverflow{
Overflow: scroll;
}
This is a great example of what you need.
https://css-tricks.com/snippets/jquery/smooth-scrolling/
But you need to specify the div to achieve this.
If your requirement is only to scroll to the end of the page(which is right), then you can use your example. But you need to specify the pixel location to scroll to right. For that, you might need something like the below.
function getWidth(){
return Math.max(document.body.scrollWidth,
document.documentElement.scrollWidth,
document.body.offsetWidth,
document.documentElement.offsetWidth,
document.documentElement.clientWidth);
}

This is the first time i'm trying out Nivo Slider, so bear with me here --
I'm trying to position my controlNav thumbnails INSIDE the slider (I want it in the center, 15px from the bottom of the slider), but so far using position:absolute and left and top attributes just make the entire positioning of the thumbnails position around the body instead of the slider.
Am I doing something wrong? I'm looking online for solutions but I just can't find any. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong keywords?
The site I'm testing it out with is [link removed]. I've reset the thumbnails to the original centered below slider layout, if you want to fiddle with it inside the console it'll be easier.
If when you say "thumbnails", you mean the small pager icons then you can change the css to:
#front-showcase .nivo-controlNav {
z-index: 10;
position: relative;
bottom: 40px;
}
Here I removed display:block and you can adjust the 40px to what ever will suit your layout needs.
In your CSS, set the positioning properties on .nivo-control instead of nivo-controlNAV.
This worked for me by adding to your <head>:
<style type="text/css">
.nivo-control {
position:relative;
top:-45px;
}
</style>
Ah, looks like i've found the answer with help from #aditya and #mToce's answers.
Seems that I forgot about positioning the #front-showcase as a relative element, thus making the controlNav position itself with the body element instead of the slider element.
For more information, read this :
http://css-tricks.com/absolute-positioning-inside-relative-positioning/
I've solved the thing by entering position:relative; inside my #front-showcase, and entering position:absolute; inside .controlNav.
Hope this helps!
I have 2 toolbars, 1 of each side of the screen, and a main content area. I dont want it to have to sidescroll cause that is pathetic, so i was trying to figure out if someone could help me set it up.
My current attemp was:
$("#main").css("width", window.outerWidth - $("#t1").width() - $("#t2").width());
The issue is that it is too big still because of margins. Instead of me doing width, should i do outerWidth, similar to how i did window, or is there a jquery command which will do just that?
Thanks
here is a basic fiddle: it is set up differently, but the idea is there. I just am unsure as to how to do it. http://jsfiddle.net/fallenreaper/DfZx7/
Upon tinkering deeper and deeper with my fiddle, i am fairly certain i figured it out in the example i had given. derp Standby while i look and see if i can apply the same thing to my code.
The sample did not work with my code, but border was set to 2px around, for both main and attributes. Deducting 8 pixels resolves.
You don't need JavaScript to avoid scrollbars. It's a layout width two fixed-width columns and a liquid one.
Here is the "skeleton" of your layout in a responsive way:
<div id="window">
<div id="column-sx"></div>
<div id="main"></div>
<div id="column-dx"></div>
</div>
CSS:
#window {
width:100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
#column-sx {
width:54px;
float:left;
}
#column-dx {
width: 140px;
float:right;
}
#main {
width:100%;
float:left;
margin-right:-194px; /* left + right col width */
}
#main > * {
margin-right:194px; /* left + right col width */
}
This way it will never "break" nor cause an horizontal scrollbar.
Anyway, probably you want to set a min-width for #main contents, and add another container for contents instead of targeting them with > *
Check this fiddle with your code revised
Off the top of my head, i would think outerWidth would work. If it doesnt, you can find the margin value via the .style attribute - but thats not ideal.
One thing you should be aware of is window resize if your setting your widths dynamically and you truely hate horizontal scrolling. You could put the above function also in the $().resize() function to ensure the widths are always within the window and complement this with css min-width so it doesnt go too small.
UPDATE 2
I found a tentative solution that currently works for me in Chrome on Mac OS X. You can check out my answer below for details. For those of you who are still trying to come up with CSS only solutions or JavaScript solutions, please keep going and let me know what you come up with! Please :)
UPDATE
The answer below is really close to an all CSS solution, so I'm going to try to make it work. In the meantime, I'm opening up this question to JavaScript solutions as well. How would you do it using JavaScript? All solutions are now welcome :)
Let's see if we can solve this one together!
I'm trying to set up a layout, check out the image...
I'm using the "sticky footer" technique, which works great, and I've set it up so that whenever one of the two columns gets taller, the other will also match its height, as described in this article. The problem, however, is that these two columns don't reach the footer naturally... I'm forcing the height through JavaScript.
Anyway, all the relevant code can be seen in the fiddle...

QUESTIONS
First big problem: how can I set it up so that the height of these columns reaches the footer below? I want it so that when the page loads, both pink and blue columns reach the bottom automatically.
How can I get it so that when the pink column grows beyond its current height, a local scrollbar appears, but when the blue column grows beyond its current height, the overall page scrollbar appears and the footer is pushed down?
- basically, I want the height of the pink and blue columns to ALWAYS be the same height but the height is only determined by the blue column; blue is dominant so it can expand the height of both columns; pink cannot expand the height, just be at the same height as blue
Can this functionality be achieved using only CSS?
Let me know if I need to clarify anything.
There were many issues, so I rewrote it. I have created exactly what you want. Enjoy. =)
http://jsfiddle.net/hRkx8/53/
The trick is to have your main region have a margin-bottom the same height as your footer (which you absolutely position). Thus as your blue thing gets larger, it will start pushing the bottom of the page a bit earlier than it normally would.
(edit: this version moves the footer, which is more difficult to do; however the question asked that the blue area be initialized to be as large as possible, see below for one way to do this)
Here we go! Unfortunately I have to include it inline, since jsfiddle has some severe bugs that prevent proper display. This version has the blue area start all the way at the bottom.
absolutely-positioned elements seem to have some trouble automatically scrolling as the page gets bigger, so I created a dummy #main div much like you did and had it fill the entire viewport, then inside that is both the #footer and #content (your blue and red stuff). The #footer is absolutely positioned so it takes up no space / the document doesn't care about it. As the #content expands, the #main container expands with it, dragging the footer along. The use of a margin-bottom is necessary to prevent the footer from hiding text.
The actual amount of CSS required to do this is, if you remove the demo stuff, just about 5 lines and dummy element.

<head>

body {
margin:0; padding:0;

Be sure to resize your browser window a few times to see it in action.
IE8 - perfect
Chrome - perfect
Safari - no scrollbar, otherwise okay
Firefox - no scrollbar, otherwise okay
based on your most recent answer, I take it you don't need the footer to be full width (only sticky, though yours isn't) and also I presume you know that your version will only work if you know the height of the "foo - not so important content", as you need the that height to set the top co-ordinate for the sidebar .
You version falls down in that when you narrow the window content disappears off the sides.. but based on the thinking behind it - I've used your logic extended it and built in the sticky footer, top menu - everything that was in the original example link.
the footer's not full width, but you can make it look like it is by putting a background image on the html element, I have a plain dummy image in my fiddle but it's not showing up, anyway you would make an image the same height/color as the footer with the 1px border built in
this absolutely relies on you being able to fix/calculate the height of everything above the pink/blue columns
there is a lot less container divs needed for this and the content is now before the sidebar in the source
Here's the fiddle : fullsize : to edit
I see this as a design having a top a middle and a footer. The middle section contains both the pink and blue columns.
Using CSS, place a repeating image in the background of the middle-section behind both the left and right columns. This image would show the edges of both columns. Hopefully your design will accommodate this. I admit I do not know, without really digging into the code, how to make the middle expand all the way down to the bottom. I should think there are some different ways to approach this.
Use css overflow: auto; for your pink column; for the blue, set overflow: auto; on the or tag.
I hope this helps...
I'm trying to make a gallery using divs that change their height when you click on them. Ideally, this would include animation to smoothly expand the div's height. There will be several of each div on each page, so it needs to just expand that section.
It's actually supposed to turn out something like the news section on this page: http://runescape.com/
I'd like to do it with JavaScript/jQuery if possible.
$('div').click(function(){
$(this).animate({height:'300'})
})
Check working example at http://jsfiddle.net/tJugd/
Here's the code I ended up using:
JS:
document.getElementById("box").addEventListener("click", function() {
this.classList.toggle("is-active");
});
CSS:
#box {
background: red;
height: 100px;
transition: height 300ms;
width: 100px;
}
#box.is-active {
height: 300px;
}
HTML:
<div id="box"></div>
Fiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/cp7uf8fg/
try
$('div').toggle(function(){
$(this).animate({'height': '100px'}, 100);
}, function(){
$(this).animate({'height': '80px'}, 100);
});

The complete solution:
Both spacer DIV and Margin or Padding on content DIV works but best to still have a spacer DIV.
Responsive design can be then applied to it in your CSS file.
This is mutch better as with JAVA the screen would flicker!
If you use a grid system there will be a media query part there you need to include your settings.
I use a little spacer on HD screen while its increasing till mobile screen!
Still if you have breadcrumb in header multiple lines can be tricky, so best to have a java but deferred for speed resons.
Note that animation is for getting rid of flickering of screen.
This java then would only fire if breadcrumb is very long otherwise single CSS applied via the grid and no flickering at all.
Even if java fired its doing its work via an elegant animation
var header_height = $('#fixed_header_div').height();
var spacer_height = $('#header_spacer').height() + 5;
if (header_height > spacer_height) {
$('#header_spacer').animate({height:header_height});
};
Note that I have applied a 5px tolerance margin!
Ho this helps :-)
I know this is old, but if anyone seems to find their way here. #JacobTheDev answer is great and has no jQuery! I have added a little more for use cases where the event is not being assigned at the same point your toggling the css class.
HTML
<div id='item' onclick='handleToggle()'> </div>
JS
handleToggle(event){
document.getElementById(event.target.id).classList.toggle('active')
}
CSS
#item {
height: 20px;
transition: 1s;
}
.active {
height: 100px;
}
