ScrollTo: targeting specific buttons in a navbar - javascript

Got an issue with a navbar I'm creating for a WordPress site. Some of the links are meant to scroll down to different places on the homepage and some are outside links to other places on the site. Something like this:
<div class="main-navigation">
<ul>
<li class="link1">Link 1
<li class="link2">Link 2
</ul>
</div>
Basic stuff.
So if I add the following Javascript in the footer....
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('.main-navigation a' ).click(function(){
jQuery.scrollTo( this.hash, 1000, { easing:'swing' });
return false;
});
Link 2 will scroll down but since Link 1 isn't supposed to scroll, if you click on it, nothing happens like it's a null link.
I thought I could change the reference to something like
jQuery('.main-navigation a.link2' ).click(function(){
So only link 2 does the scrolling, but that just makes it jump to the page like an old anchor tag trick in the 1990's.
Tried a few variations of the same idea, and nothing clicked. Anyone know what the right code would be to target just the buttons that need to have the scrolling?

Building from itsgoingdown's answer. The animation is ignored because the default link event still fires. If you pass the event and also prevent the default, you'll be set. See below.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.main-navigation a[href^="#"]' ).click(function(event) {
// Prevent default link action
event.preventDefault();
// Grab location to send to
var href = $(this).attr('href');
// Scroll the page, animated
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $(href).offset().top
}, 700);
});
});
Here is a live JSFiddle to show as well.

Thanks to the both of you. I finally figured it out and in a sense, you're both right. However, neither of your codes produced the scrollTo effect. While '.main-navigation a[href^="#"]' was partially correct, my issue....and I finally realized it this morning....was I hard coded in the URL's in WordPress' menu feature as a complete URL. So just using '#' wouldn't work. Also, since it's WP, I can't use $'s in the code, Have ot use jQuery, of course.
This is the code that did the trick.
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('.main-navigation a[href^="http://path.to.url/#"]' ).click(function(){
jQuery.scrollTo( this.hash, 1000, { easing:'swing' });
return false;
});
with path.to.url representing the actual URL, of course.
Thanks again!

How to FORCE a resize event that will run all resize functions

I am using Masonry.js to create a masonry style blog. The problem with this is, when I click 'Article' for example, my JS makes everything but an article disappear. Instead of all the articles filling in the gaps that were previously filled with other post types, they just stay in the same position.
Once I resize the window Masonry.js does its thing and every gap becomes filled with the articles. My question is how to FORCE this to happen without having to resize the window manually?
Note:
I have tried this link
Forcing windows resize to fire
This will not work.
$(window).resize(function(){
$('span').text('event fired!');
});
$('button').click(function(){
window.dispatchEvent(new Event('resize'));
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button>Fire event</button>
<span></span>
This must work (I'm using it right now)
$(window).trigger('resize');
Hope this helps.
EDIT
Note that's jQuery syntax.
EDIT 2
i make a research of masonry.js (I don't meet it before this post), and I think that you can solve this problem like this:
$(window).on('resize', function () {
$('#element').masonry('reloadItems');
});
$(window).trigger("resize");
Good luck
I managed to fix this.
$('#article-options li').on('click', function() {
setTimeout(function() {
var $grid = $('#blog-container').masonry({
columnWidth: 80
});
// change size of item by toggling gigante class
$(this).toggleClass('gigante');
// trigger layout after item size changes
$grid.masonry('layout');
}, 200);
});
Each 'section' of the blog of mine is in a ul called article options so when an option is clicked (therefore changed) it will run this function.
I have set a timeout as JS was running a bit behind and making me click twice for the code to run.
I defined a new masonry grid, I defined this as the overall blog container which holds all posts. I then had code in place which recognised the click function on a section and toggled a class which pops everything back into their correct positioning.
As for details, i'm not too sure as this is not my module. If anyone has any valuable information that might help others, comment and I will update my answer. Thanks everyone.

Tab content dissapearing

This is a very specific question that I cannot figure out for the death of me.
On this site: http://www.telcogreen.com.au/voice_new
For some reason the content of tab 3 dissapears if I add secondary set of tabs in tab 2. However, if I reverse them, I can have secondary tabs on 3 and the ones on 4 will still display. It's just tab 2 that causes the issue.
Can somebody please point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
It seems that 3rd section doesn't render, because you try to bind click to wrong selector.
Here is your code:
/***** voice page hosted c*/
$('a.hosted').bind('click', function () {
$('#tabs ul li').removeClass('tab-current');
$('#hosted').parents('li').addClass('tab-current');
$('#section-1').removeClass('content-current');
$('#section-3').addClass('content-current');
$("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: 570 }, "slow");
return false;
});
There are no a tags with neither class nor id hosted in the rest of markup.
And I would (if using jquery 1.9.1) get rid of .bind() handler. You use .bind() method, which is a little deprecated. I think it's better to write $('_selector_').click(function () {... instead of $('_selector_').bind('click', function () {... And I'd consider an idea of replacing addClass...removeClass...addClass...removeClass chains with toggleClass.
Anyway, if you want find out what is wrong, learn debugger and watch a breakpoints.
Here is a objects tree of your tabs on the pic:

jquery fade out and redirect not working in IE

I have a website on which I have the following script intended to handle all links:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("body").css("display","none");
$("body").fadeIn(2000);
$("a").click(function(event){event.preventDefault();
linkLocation=this.href;
if(!linkLocation.contains("#")){$("body").fadeOut(1000,redirectPage);
}});
function redirectPage(){
window.location=linkLocation;}})
What it should do is, when a link is clicked to fade out and then to fade back in.
The issue I am facing is that in IE, links simply do not work.
Is it possible to edit my code in order for it to work?
If not, is there a way I can use a fallback code during this issue?
This issue is not present in chrome and I am using the latest IE
You should first check if your url contains the substring that you want to check with using indexOf() method. If it contains that character/substring then it'll return any 0 or positive value. Else it'll return -1 .
Try this way :
HTML :
ToogleFade
jQuery :
$(document).ready(function(){
$("body").css("display", "none");
$("body").fadeIn(2000);
$("a").on("click", function(e){
linkLocation = $(this).attr("href");
e.preventDefault();
if(linkLocation.indexOf('#') == -1){
$("body").fadeOut(3000, redirectPage);
}
});
function redirectPage()
{
window.location=linkLocation;
}
});
jsFiddle
Resources :
indexOf()
I found that the answer was to set the z-index. I have a stack of absolutely positioned divs and wanted to fade between them. The only way I could get IE8 to handle the fades nicely was to set the z-index of the element to be faded in higher than the element to be faded out.
$('#fadeoutdiv').css({zIndex:99}).fadeOut(2000);
$('#fadeindiv').css({zIndex:90}).fadeOut(2000);
and for redirect Check the Link Stackoverflow
I have gone through your code its almost correct you simply need to change something in your click function because preventDefault(); creating problem with the default functionality of <a></a> tag...
Also click on Allow block content when it ask you in IE.
Instead try this :-
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("body").css("display","none");
$("body").fadeIn(2000);
$("a").click(function() {
linkLocation=this.href;
if(!linkLocation.contains("#"))
{
$("body").fadeOut(1000,redirectPage);
}
});
function redirectPage()
{
window.location=linkLocation;
}
});
</script>
I hope this will work for you..

Linking within the page

I have seen a lot of websites where they are linking in the same page.
(demo)
The problem in this system is, when you reload the page after clicking the link (which refers you to the selected area), the page immediately scrolled to the selected area, because the click on the link leaves a #name on the URL page (even when reloading), for example:
www.example.com/#down
I have seen also websites, where they don't add #name to the URL line but you still referred to the linked area.
I guessed this has been made by jQuery or Javascript but I couldn't find (inspect element and page's source) the code (I found this system in high-tech sites, where they have a lot of js files and it was complicated to find).
My real question is: how can I link within my website, without using the hash-tag|name system?
The behaviour you describe is the intended, desired behaviour of anchors. As has been said...
Websites aren't broken by default, they are functional, high-performing, and accessible. You break them.
You can have an event listener detect clicks on links and scroll accordingly. jQuery would be something like this:
$(document).on("click", "a[href*='#']", function(evt) {
evt.preventDefault();
var target = this.href.split("#")[1];
var elm = document.getElementById(target);
if( elm) elm.scrollIntoView(); // or replace with fancy scrollTo plugin
});
However, be aware that doing this decreases usability. From xkcd...
Working DEMO
HTML:
GO SEE THE DEMO
jQuery:
$("a").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var divId = $(this).attr('href');
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $(divId).offset().top
}, 500);
});

Tweak smooth scrolling code

I am trying to learn jQuery and I'm having a mental blank at the moment. The following code scrolls my page to the top with a smooth transition, but I would like this smooth transition to work for all anchor/ID links on my site (it's only a one pager).
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a[href="#the-top"]').click(function (e) {
$("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: $('#the-top').offset().top }, 1000);
return false;
});
});
How can I change my code to achieve this?
jQuery(function($) {
$('a[href^=#]').bind('click', function (evt) {
var $what = $('#' + $(this).attr('href').split('#')[1]);
$('html, body').stop().animate({ scrollTop: $what.offset().top }, 1000);
evt.preventDefault();
});
});
Changes suggested in this code:
Change global $ object to jQuery
Just jQuery(fn) as document.ready(fn)
Closure: use jQuery as $ inside that function
Prevent default event from anchor instead of return false (source: http://fuelyourcoding.com/jquery-events-stop-misusing-return-false/)
Use of $what asking for the #something part of anchor href, in order to prevent misbehaviors in IE (because if you have href="#some" sometimes it become href="http://yoursite.com/yourcurrentpage/#some instead)
All of these are kind of optional. You get the idea. Feel free to change.

Take a look at Chris Coyier's smooth Scrolling script. It does exactly that and needs no further configuration. Plus, it updates the address on the browser.
