How to add images beside each other in index.js dropping script?

I'm using a Age verify-er at the this codepen.
The following is what I have sliding down from the top of the screen:
$(document).ready(function() {
$.age_verifier_id = "28915";
$.age_verifier_ajax_url = "http://selectoil.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php";
$.AgeVerifier({
enabled: "1",
mode: "age",
minimum_age: "21",
cookie_expiration: "365",
animation: "slide",
title: "Welcome to My website",
text: "Please use the slider to verify your age",
background: "#333",
background_type: "color",
background_image_url: "http://selectoil.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/icon-logo.png",
text_color: "#ffffff",
submit_text: "Enter",
error_message: "You need to be at least [age] years old to continue.",
safe_url: "",
safe_url_enabled: "0"
});
});
I'm trying to make two images 200px by 200px each slide down side by side each other above the "Welcome to my website" text and slides down following the same slide sequence

I recommend to use an external animation library.
There is a CSS only library called animate.css
Then you can achieve your requirement like this:
$('#btn').on('click', (e) => {
$('#overlay').fadeOut();
});
html,body{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#overlay {
background-color: #1AB4A1;
height: 100%;
margin:0;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
}
#welcomeContainer {
padding:20px 0px 0px 0px;
text-align: center;
}
#welcomeContainer img {
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
}
#btn {
background-color: red;
border-radius: 5px;
padding: 8px;
}

JavaScript onclick change style from display none to display block

I have a situation that I'm trying to do, and I need your help because I do not have much experience with JavaScript.
First please take a look at this code where I was through ajax, parse from xml file into html. I set the picture as background of #clickMapFlashContainer, and prepend hotspots clickable circles into #clickAreas which results to get 5 clickable circles, which look like this: (screenshot) http://prntscr.com/d3v97y (Currently when we get to the site, site looks like this)
You'll notice that I have 5 different clickable circles with _clickable id and class circle. Each circle with _clickable id have onclick="onclick(id)" and this function should be executed onclick.
Below I have divs with same id but without _clickable and all of 5 have display: none... Display none needs to be changed to display block when click on corresponding id with _clickable circle.
However, there is one thing I must mention, in a situation when the div with class clickMapItem text is display block, background image from #clickMapFlashContainer should be visible as it is, it is only necessary to change the text below the image, but in situation when the div with class clickMapItem multiImageText is display block, background image from #clickMapFlashContainer should be display none because clickMapItem multiImageText contains a gallery and background should not be seen.

I found a solution and working properly, but this is JavaScript newbie code as you can see, please take a look and suggest what can be changed, because I think it is a messy code. Whether it is a good idea to use Array.prototype.slice.call to convert NodeList to an Array and then check whether the div contains one of these classes?
function changeStyle(hotspotid) {
var hotspot = hotspotid.replace('_clickable', '');
var hotspots = document.querySelectorAll(".clickMapItem.text, .clickMapItem.multiImageText"); // Return a NodeList
var nodesArray = Array.prototype.slice.call(hotspots, 0); //Convert NodeList to an Array
nodesArray.forEach(function(item) {
console.log(item);
});
var i;
for (i = 0; i < hotspots.length; i++) {
hotspots[i].style.display = "none";
}
if (hotspotid == "clickMap_item_10450_clickable" || hotspotid == "clickMap_item_11006_clickable") {
document.getElementById('clickMapFlashContainer').style.display = "none";
}
if (hotspots[0].style.display == "") {
document.getElementById(hotspot).style.display = '';
document.getElementById("clickMap_item_default").style.display = "none";
} else if (hotspots[1].style.display == "") {
document.getElementById("clickMapFlashContainer").style.display = "none";
}
};
function backClose() {
var sections = document.getElementsByClassName("clickMapItem");
var i;
for (i = 0; i < sections.length; i++) {
sections[i].style.display = "none";
}
document.getElementById('clickMapFlashContainer').style.display = "";
document.getElementById("clickMap_item_default").style.display = "";

Jquery: show IMG on click

Preview of how it should be: https://www.youtube.com/embed/8qKRf0cg3Co
As in the video, I have to click on the img to get a large view of the img under it.
So far this is my code:
HTML:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>JQUERY</title>
<script src="jquery/jquery-2.1.1.min.js"></script></head>
<body>
<center>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="nav">
<div id="overbalk"></div>
<img src="images/foto_01.png" align="top" class="foto" />
<img src="images/foto_02.png" align="top" class="foto" />
<img src="images/foto_03.png" align="top" class="foto" />
<img src="images/foto_04.png" align="top" class="foto" />
</div>
<div id="content">
<img src="images/foto_01.png" align="top" class="slide_foto" />
</div>
</div>
</center>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
<style>
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background-color: black;
}
#nav {
width: 600px;
margin: 0px auto;
}
#overbalk {
width: 600px;
height: 30px;
position: absolute;
background-color: black;
}
.foto {
width: 75px;
height: 75px;
margin-top: -20px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.foto:hover {
cursor: pointer;
}
#content {
position: absolute;
top: 50px;
z-index: -2;
width: 100%;
}
.slide_foto {
margin-left:-3200px;
}
</style>
JS:
$(document).ready(function (){
$('.foto').mouseenter(function () {
$(this).animate({marginTop: '+=50'}, 200);
});
$('.foto').mouseleave(function (){
$(this).animate({marginTop: '-=50'}, 200);
});
$('.foto').click(function () {
$(this).next('#content').show();
});
});
I also tried this:
$('.foto').on('click', function () {
$('#content').html(nieuwe_foto).show();
var nieuwe_foto = $(this).attr('src');
$('.slide_foto').attr('src', nieuwe_foto);
}
None of this worked, and got a little bit stuck, the images aren't showing below the small images.

You need to make 2 changes:
Remove this style class from <style>
.slide_foto {
margin-left:-3200px;
}
Make this change in your onclick handler
$('.foto').on('click', function () {
var nieuwe_foto = $(this).prop('src');
$('.slide_foto').prop('src', nieuwe_foto);
});
I have made a working fiddle with sample images https://jsfiddle.net/sachin_puthran/c2qgjpj1/
The following doesn't do anything since nieuwe_foto is undefined until the next line and div#content is already visible .show() doesn't do anything either.
$('#content').html(nieuwe_foto).show();

The .show() isn't what you're looking for. It will essentially "unhide" an element. So if an element has a display: none style then .show() will restore the initial display style. See the docs.
You're closer with your second attempt though. All you want to do in the $('.foto').click function is set the src of the .slide_foto element to what is currently in the src of the this object.

Adding JQuery functionality

I am trying to add JQuery functionality to my Rails application; however, it is not working. I am using JQuery draggable to move images around the screen. I have it working in a stand alone html file but I'm having a lot of difficulty adding it to my Rails application. This is the stand alone file:

I have placed the Javascript in assets/javascripts/custom_map.js and I have placed the html / css in my new_map.html.erb view. The images are showing up fine in the Rails app but they are not draggable. How can I fix this? Thanks!

Perhaps your load order is incorrect or your assets path is wrong. Try linking your script as the last thing on your page and wrap everything in it inside a jquery ready function:
$(function() {
// all your scripts here
});
Also try viewing your source and making sure that your .js file is serving correctly
It should be /assets/yourjs.js rather than /assets/javascripts/yourjs.js
Also, I think you may be able to use the jquery ui stack function to make items settle on top (not sure, you might want to try it):
$( ".draggable" ).draggable({ stack: ".draggable" });

Without knowing the specific errors you're receiving, I can only detail why you're having a problem, and how to resolve it generally:
Unobtrusive
You should never put javascript in your HTML code (known as inline JS). Problems being that it's messy & can be easily tampered with... hence making it relatively insecure, and generally seen as amateurish
A better way is to use unobtrusive JS (where the JS is stored in files loaded outside the scope of HTML). Rails uses the asset pipeline for this:
#app/assets/javascripts/application.js
var ready = function() { // -> you said JQuery :)
$( ".draggable" ).draggable({ grid: [10,10] });
$( "#draggable4" ).draggable({ grid: [ 20, 20 ], snap: true });
/////////////////////////////////
var ids=[],
// grab all the divs (each icon) and put it into thedivs
thedivs = document.getElementById("canvas").getElementsByTagName("div");
for (var i = 0; i < thedivs.length; i++) {
// add the id of each div to the ids array
//alert(thedivs[i].id);
ids.push(thedivs[i].id);
thedivs[i].onclick = function() {
for (var a = 0; a < ids.length; a++) {
if (this.id == ids[a]) {
// take current id that matches the selected id and move it to the end
ids.push(ids.splice(a,1));
}
document.getElementById(ids[a]).style.zIndex=a;
}
}
}
};
$(document).on("page:load ready", ready);
If you migrate your JS from your views and put into your asset files, you'll be in a much better position to give us feedback, which we can then use to help fix your problem further

Trouble in synchronising and/or adding captions to images using caroufredsel plugin

I am new to this so please bear with me if my question is obviously stupid. I am trying to incorporate the slideshow as shown in this site using caroufredsel http://coolcarousels.frebsite.nl/c/48/
Now I needed to add captions to the images. so after trying to tweak the code unsuccessfully, I created a workaround where I created another carousel for just the captions and synchronized it with the main carousel. It worked that the captions appeared just fine but now I am not able to synchronize it with the click function/feature on the main carousel. if I comment the click function out , it works splendidly, but I need that click function. what am I doing wrong or is there an easier way to do what I want. I went thru the documentation and tried to incorporate a new div with id "item". but then the entire "pager" section disappears etc. I will include the full code here. thanks in advance for the help.

And my script tag looks like::
$(function() {
var $carousel = $('#carousel'),
$pager = $('#pager');
// gather the thumbnails
var $thumb = $( '<div class="thumb" />' );
$carousel.children().each(function() {
var src = $(this).attr( 'src' );
$thumb.append( '<img src="' + src.split('/large/').join('/small/') + '" />' );
});
// duplicate the thumbnails
for (var a = 0; a < $carousel.children().length - 1; a++) {
$pager.append( $thumb.clone() );
}
// create large carousel
$carousel.carouFredSel({
items: {
visible: 1,
width: 580,
height: 350
},
//auto:false,/* temporary: to stop automatic scrolling */
scroll: {
fx: 'directscroll',
pauseOnHover:true,
duration: 500,
timeoutDuration: 5500,
onBefore: function( data ) {
var oldSrc = data.items.old.attr('src').split('/large/').join('/small/'),
newSrc = data.items.visible.attr('src').split('/large/').join('/small/'),
$t = $thumbs.find('img:first-child[src="' + newSrc + '"]').parent();
$t.trigger('slideTo', [$('img[src="' + oldSrc + '"]', $t), 'next']);
}
}
});
// create thumb carousels
var $thumbs = $('.thumb');
$thumbs.each(function( i ) {
$(this).carouFredSel({
auto: false,
scroll: {
fx: 'directscroll'
},
responsive:true,
items: {
start: i+1,
visible: 1,
width: 112,
height: 89.6
}
});
// click the carousel---> comment out this portion to disable the click function on small images
$(this).click(function() {
var src = $(this).children().first().attr('src').split('/small/').join('/large/');
$carousel.trigger('slideTo', [$('img[src="' + src + '"]', $carousel), 'next']);
});
});
// comment out the click function and uncomment this section of #texts to have a synchronised carousel with captions but no click function
$('#texts').carouFredSel({
items: 1,
direction: 'left',
responsive:true,
auto: {
play: true,
duration: 500,
easing: 'quadratic',
timeoutDuration: 5500
}
});
});
Now I used jquery version 1.8.2 and caroufredsel version 6.2.1. thanks again for the help in advance. sorry if my code looks messy as well.Latest update as of 3/22/2014:: I went thru the documentation of the plugin CarouFredSel and stumbled upon one of the settable parameters/ configurations called "synchronise". If I understood it right, I can synchronise 2 carousels to respond to the same event. So i added the line of code "synchronise:{"#carousel"} into the text carousel to tell it to synchronise it with the main carousel...
$('#texts').carouFredSel({
items: 1,
direction: 'left',
responsive:true,
synchronise:{"#carousel"},/*This is the new line I added*/
auto: {
play: true,
duration: 500,
easing: 'quadratic',
timeoutDuration: 5500
}
});
Unfortunately that did not work as well. Now there is no timing pattern as well. everytime I click the small image it just went ahead in position at a random rate. So I am still stuck with the same problem if not making it worse. Thanks for the help in advance.

After fighting with the problem for more than a week, I was able to figure out a solution to my problem. Now it may not be the best solution but it worked and hence I am posting it so that in future if somebody else has the same or similar problem, it may be of help.Now if anyone came up with a solution that works better, I would still like you to post it here for I may want to learn what you did, why you did it and learn from the experience. I dont claim to be an expert programmer. I am still learning and this site has been a great learning tool for me so far.Anyway coming back to the problem, I added this piece of code...
//sais try: synchronise texts and carousel to work together and on click
var index = $(this).triggerHandler( 'currentPosition' );
if ( index == 0 ) {
index = $(this).children().length;
}
// trigger the titles carousel
$('#texts').trigger('slideTo', [ index, 'next' ]);
right here...
// create large carousel
$carousel.carouFredSel({
items: {
visible: 1,
width: 580,
height: 350
},
//auto:false,/* temporary: to stop automatic scrolling */
scroll: {
fx: 'directscroll',
pauseOnHover:true,
duration: 500,
timeoutDuration: 3500,
onBefore: function( data ) {
var oldSrc = data.items.old.attr('src').split('/large/').join('/small/'),
newSrc = data.items.visible.attr('src').split('/large/').join('/small/'),
$t = $thumbs.find('img:first-child[src="' + newSrc + '"]').parent();
$t.trigger('slideTo', [$('img[src="' + oldSrc + '"]', $t), 'next']);
/* [ the code goes here!]*/
now with that i was able to synchronise the carousels (#carousel, #texts) together to work with the click function/feature as well. Also I had tried to synchronise the carousel using a synchronise function thats in carouFredSel. Well take that out. It did not work.I dont know if this is going to be useful to anyone else but if it did, thats great. But again if somebody came up with a better solution please do let me know as well. Thanks. Keep up the goo work
