How To Have A Section Fill The Entire Screen? - javascript

I was wondering how I can have different sections of a website fill the entire window.
For instance on this website by Viraj Bindra.
In his experience sections, they take up the whole window. I do not know what to call it, is there a word for it? I was also wondering how he has an assist pull so it can perfectly fill the window?
I am sorry if this question is ambiguous. If you go to his website I think it will make more sense.

I'm not seeing the behavior that you're referring to, but I would not use JavaScript, as CSS can do this with better performance. Plus, it's always a good idea to keep styling with styling whenever possible. Anyway, a simple solution would be to set the container element to full-height using vh units. Like so:
.fullheight-container {
height: 100vh;
}
Easy as that, without any complications / after-load jumpiness from JavaScript.

Make Element Full Height of Page on Bubble.is

How can I make an element the full height of a page on the website editor of bubble.is. So, when opening the page on differently sized computer screens, my element would always cover the full height of the page. An example of this effect is https://kickpoint.ca/contact/
I’m thinking I may need to use html or JavaScript to do it, but I’m not sure how and if there’s a simpler solution.
Thank you
What you actually want for this is css. I would read through a quick tutorial. I am not familar with Bubble.is, however css is for styling webpages. After a simple tutorial you will know exactly how to do what you are trying to do. It would be something like #element-id{ height: 100%}. or on the html element:

How to make responsive web page render faster?

Right now, every time I try to render a page, I will calculate the $(window).width() first and then add a corresponding class for the root html element, which will final determine the block width of some main responsive elements in the page. But this approach goes with a problem. It will first render the page with a initial default width, and then after the class is added, it will adjust the element width, which will create a non-smooth visual effect.
To overcome this, I then make all the responsive elements display: none in the first place and make them visible after the width calculation is done. But for a user, it takes more time to see the page in this way.
So I was wondering if there is a way to achieve this responsive page in a more efficient and faster way?
If you are using javascript to create a responsive site, there are much easier ways.
For example, there are TONS of free CSS based frameworks you can utilize to make responsive pages that the CSS controls, which doesn't eat up nearly as many resources as a javascript solution. Lots of DOM manipulation with javascript can get pretty hairy pretty quickly.
My suggestion would be to look into some of the following:
Foundation: http://foundation.zurb.com/index.html
Skeleton: http://www.getskeleton.com/
I personally use foundation for my development, as its easy to read/understand and it produces rapid development.

If you are ABSOLUTELY dead set on having Javascript handle your DOM rendering, it's going to be much slower than a CSS responsive site.
If so, try out:

If you would like further clarification for a specific problem, could you please provide your code and I'm more than happy to provide some feedback on that.
CSS media queries allow you to apply CSS based on screen size. The advantages of this over your approach are:
1) The CSS will read the window size immediately
2) The page will automatically adjust if the user resizes the window (or rotates their tablet)
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Media_queries
You need to use css3 media queries which is very useful to create responsive website. You need to write css according to viewport width. Please refer the link from which you will get all the idea about responsive website.
I hope this will help yo to work on the responsive websites.

Scale height of div with jquery - How will google react (SEO)?

Suppose I have a big div including much text. I want to show my readers only the first few text-lines. So I thought about scaling down the height of the div with javascript/jquery and add a "Read more" button.
Like that:
$('#content').height(20);
Here's a complete example: http://jsfiddle.net/zvQsX/1/
I guess google will index all the content, but will google interpret this as spam?
Thanks for your help!
Best

I'm not sure, but I think Google interprets a bit of CSS and display:none and simply would consider a hidden content as non-existent or at-least as less relevant than what you display directly.
Your technique is different and I honestly don't know how Google would interpret it. If we consider the law's intent, you are actually giving your users the whole thing (they can read it if they want and it's on the same page), and it shouldn't be considered as black hat thingy.
That said, why do you want to use scaling of div instead of display:none or text-indent:-9999px ?

Blur all the objects(Images,div,text..) that comes behind a div tag

Need your help.
I created a static semi-opaque banner which stays at the top of a website. When a user scrolls the website the entire container objects goes underneath the banner. I want all the objects (images, text..etc) getting blury effect as it goes underneath the banner.
Thanks
The only way you're going to be able to do this is by getting fancy with some CSS and javascript. CSS doesn't support blur directly, but you can emulate it with text-shadow. Images can also be blurred with a little jquery/css/javascript magic, but will be problematic because you can't partially blur an image (what happens when only part of the image is under the banner?). It could probably be done by layering your images and keeping track of their position on screen, but all of this seems like a lot of work for a very small return.
So, assuming you've decided to give all of this a shot, you're going to have to use javascript to determine which parts of the page have passed under the banner and apply the style to those parts. The difficulty of this task will scale with the complexity of your page layout. In a best case scenario, your banner and content container are both 100% the width of the html body. At this point, it would be fairly trivial to write some kind of scanner that traverses the dom every time you page scroll to find elements that the blur should be applied to. However, best-case-scenario is rarely the case at hand, at which point I'd recommend abandoning the effort to pursue something with a greater ROI.
This isn't possible with CSS nor jQuery. You might be able to do something with IE's filters, however that's IE only (of course), and will invalidate your CSS.
Currently, there is no way to do this, although something might come along in CSS 4 or something.
The Chrome nightly builds support some filters, however there isn't an alpha blur filter (yet, at least).

"Type-writer Scrolling" in a web-page (JavaScript, CSS, and/or HTML)

I'm trying to work out how to do "type-writer scrolling" in JavaScript for a textarea in a web-page, but I'm having no luck. Essentially, what I'm trying to do is make a textarea that, when a new line is created, scrolls the document automatically so as to keep the new line in the same position as the previous line. I've seen something similar in desktop applications such as Write Monkey, but can't work out how to do it in JavaScript.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Have a look at this page http://www.mediacollege.com/internet/javascript/page/scroll.html it shows basic scrolling methods
You could either scroll down by the height of your line (line-height css property) or scrollTo a specific point on the page
I have achieved something close to this, automatically expanding a textarea the way it is done on Facebook, but that was based on a conservative estimate, considering font size, box width, etc, to determine how many lines have probably wrapped. What you are describing is more exact -- down to the character.
The challenge here lies in knowing exactly how many lines are currently in the textarea and I can think of no way to do this. When you say, "a new line is created," you're talking about automatic wrapping and there is no way to read that or to trigger from it. It is part of the browser's hard-coded interpretation of many things, including your CSS.
If you went through with the whole typewriter theme, you would have a bell and the user would hit RETURN when they needed to, then you'd have your cue to scroll, but that sounds like a sure way to remind people why we no longer use typewriters.
