JQuery position() and offset() methods not working

I'm a beginner programmer and I'm trying to create this effect that when I scroll past a specific element in the HTML, The colors of the buttons in my navbar change colors. I thought the correct way of doing this was jQuery. I'm having problems getting the position of the elements in the page. I have tried with the position() and offset() methods. But neither seem to work.
I want to get the vertical positions of the elements with the IDs "info" and "security". I have these methods aren't very reliable in certain cases, but I can't find an alternative.
This is the code I have so far:
$(window).on('load', function(){
window.loaded = true;
console.log("LOADED");
});
$( window ).scroll(function() {
if (window.loaded == true){
var scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();
var infopos = $( "#info" );
var secpos = $("#security");
if (scrollTop >= 0 && scrollTop < infopos-25) {
$( "#navgeneral" ).addClass("active");
$( "#navinfo" ).removeClass("active");
$( "#navsecurity" ).removeClass("active");
}
else if (scrollTop >= infopos && scrollTop < secpos){
$( "#navgeneral" ).removeClass("active");
$( "#navinfo" ).addClass("active");
$( "#navsecurity" ).removeClass("active");
}
}
});`
Thank you for the advice in advance!!

Here you go.
//Declare these first
const infopos = $( "#info" ).scrollTop();
const secpos = $("#security").scrollTop();
$(window).on('load', function(){
window.loaded = true;
console.log("LOADED");
});
$( window ).scroll(function() {
if (window.loaded === true){
let scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();
if (scrollTop < infopos-25) { //scrollTop >= 0 will always be true so skip it
$( "#navgeneral" ).addClass("active");
$( "#navinfo" ).removeClass("active");
$( "#navsecurity" ).removeClass("active");
}
else if (scrollTop >= infopos && scrollTop < secpos){
$( "#navgeneral" ).removeClass("active");
$( "#navinfo" ).addClass("active");
$( "#navsecurity" ).removeClass("active");
}
}
});`
First get a good understanding of how variables work and please try to use let instead of var most of the time while declaring variables. This will prevent accidentally overwriting global variables.

The objective mentioned is to let NAV bar change based on the position that you scrolled to.
First you need to get your target ID scroll position.Use code below to get every archor element ID:
$('#testB').position().top
(In jQuery, position will return you the left and top value, here we use top only.)
Second, get the current scroll position.Use code below:
currentHeight = $(window).scrollTop();
Third, write related jQuery code to change NAV elements.Sample JS as below:
Here we have 5 DIV (#testA to E) and 4 nav buttons (#test1 to 4)
$(window).scroll(function () {
var currentHeight = $(window).scrollTop();
if (currentHeight <= $('#testB').position().top) {
$("#test1").addClass('active-blue');
$("#test2").removeClass('active-blue');
$("#test3").removeClass('active-blue');
$("#test4").removeClass('active-blue');
} else if (currentHeight <= $('#testC').position().top) {
$("#test1").removeClass('active-blue');
$("#test2").addClass('active-blue');
$("#test3").removeClass('active-blue');
$("#test4").removeClass('active-blue');
} else if (currentHeight <= $('#testD').position().top) {
$("#test1").removeClass('active-blue');
$("#test2").removeClass('active-blue');
$("#test3").addClass('active-blue');
$("#test4").removeClass('active-blue');
} else {
$("#test1").removeClass('active-blue');
$("#test2").removeClass('active-blue');
$("#test3").removeClass('active-blue');
$("#test4").addClass('active-blue');
}
});

jQuery doesn't execute when window size change

I just write a script to auto positioning an element on my page.
$(document).ready(function(){
$(window).scroll(function() {
var scroll = $(window).scrollTop();
if (scroll < 180) {
$(".header-bottom").removeClass("scroll-menu");
if ($(window).width() > 991) {
$(".header_user_top").css("position", "absolute");
$(".header_user_top").css("top", "initial");
$(".header_user_top").css("right", "60px");
$(".header_user_top").css("z-index", "1");
}
} else {
$(".header-bottom").addClass("scroll-menu");
if ($(window).width() > 991) {
var rightContainer = ($(window).width() - ($('#header div.header-bottom div.container').offset().left + $('#header div.header-bottom div.container').outerWidth()));
$(".header_user_top").css("position", "fixed");
$(".header_user_top").css("top", "-22px");
$(".header_user_top").css("right", rightContainer+60+"px");
$(".header_user_top").css("z-index", "99");
}
}
});
});
It's working but if I resize browser window the script doesn't reload.
If I refresh the page it's working.
I have add window.onresize = function(){ location.reload(); }to my script to fix this problem but I'm looking for a better solution.
Any idea?

Use on function to call multiple event:
$(window).on("load resize scroll",function(e){
// do something
}

Call function which is handling size on windows.resize also
function handleSize(){
// You code to handle size
}
window.resize=handleSize();

Resize calculated window height of variable

I'm creating a sticky nav on scroll for a clients website and have got it working. However, because the div above it has a variable height based on the height of the browser window minus the nav for a carousel height: calc(100vh - 100px); it's breaking when the browser window is resized. So can someone help me to add a resize event onto the below code, so that it updates the height of the window on resizing the browser?
var yourNavigation = $(".home-navbar");
stickyDiv = "sticky";
yourHeader = $('.home-carousel').height();
$(window).scroll(function() {
if( $(this).scrollTop() > yourHeader ) {
yourNavigation.addClass(stickyDiv);
$( "#sticky" ).addClass( "sticky__padding" );
} else {
yourNavigation.removeClass(stickyDiv);
$( "#sticky" ).removeClass( "sticky__padding" );
}
});

I think you just want to make the scrollTop check into a function and call it on load, scroll, and resize If so, you can use either pure JS or jQuery to accomplish this:
function headerStuff() {
var yourNavigation = $(".home-navbar");
var stickyDiv = "sticky";
var yourHeader = $('.home-carousel').height();
if( $(this).scrollTop() > yourHeader ) {
yourNavigation.addClass(stickyDiv);
$( "#sticky" ).addClass( "sticky__padding" );
} else {
yourNavigation.removeClass(stickyDiv);
$( "#sticky" ).removeClass( "sticky__padding" );
}
};
window.addEventListener("load", headerStuff);
window.addEventListener("resize", headerStuff);
window.addEventListener("scroll", headerStuff);

How to run a jquery code by scrolling for once

I have a jquery code that I've indicated below. These codes run, When I start scrolling (I mean when the height of scroll is more than 100)
But I want to run just for once, immediately after height of 100, and not to be run more than once.
$(window).scroll(function(){
if ($(window).scrollTop() > 100 ){
//some codes...
}
});
How can I do this? Thank you :)

As soon as your condition is met, unbind the scroll handler:
$(window).scroll(function(){
if ($(window).scrollTop() > 100 ){
//Kill the handler
$(window).off("scroll");
//some codes...
}
});

use
$(window).unbind('scroll');
When you enter first time
$(window).scroll(function(){
if ($(window).scrollTop() > 100 ){
$(window).unbind('scroll');
//some codes...
}
});

Bind the scroll event to $(window), then when scrollTop() > 100, execute your action then unbind the scroll event from $(window)
$(document).ready(function() {
$(window).bind('scroll', function() {
if ($(this).scrollTop() > 100) {
$('body').prepend('Scroll top > 100');
$(window).unbind('scroll');
}
});
});
body { min-height: 1000px }
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
http://codepen.io/pen/

ok this can be done with the help of global variable or flag in order to see the effect first put lots of data into the page so that you can see vertical scroll.
<script>
var flag = 0;
$(document).ready(function() {
$(window).scroll(function() {
if (flag == 0) {
if ($(window).scrollTop() > 100) {
alert('1st time');
flag = 1;
}
} else if (flag == 1) {
alert('second time and u can comment this alert');
}
});
});
</script>

The .off() function will stop the function from firing after the first time.
$(document).ready(function () {
$(window).on('scroll.myEvent', function() {
if ($(document.body.scrollTop > 100))
{
$(window).off('scroll.myEvent');
alert('fired');
}
});
});

Responsive Button using jquery and css

I have a div with a heading using and i have a Vertical Navigation menu in same div.
To make it responsive i use media query and "Display:none and position:abolute" to Navigation Container.
it works perfectly fine till this step.
NOW what i want is that. when i click this heading the the Navigation menu appears and when i click a Link on the Navigation Menu disappears means the menu itself become"Display:none"
I used .toggle() jquery to achieve this.
when this works perfectly fine.
but problem is that i want that this .toggle() function not to work when the width of window is more then 980px;
<h2 id="heading"><span>Office<span class="blue">Managnment</span></span></h2>
<ul id="list">
<li>P</li>
<li>A</li>
<li>N</li>
<li>L</li>
<li>A</li>
<li>R</li>
<li>P</li>
</ul>
and javascript
$(function () {
$("#heading").click(function () {
$("#list").toggle();
});
$("#list").click(function () {
$("#list").toggle('hide');
});
});
and yes i tried if statement to execute this code only when the width is less then 980px but problem is that it only check for width when the page load. i.e if the window is less then 980 on load. script works fine. but when window is more then 980 on load the script do not work even on resizing it to less then 980px.
i dont understand how to achieve this. mainly problem in choosing the condition for the the if else statement.
load the window and check the width
if it is less then 980px execute the script
if it is more then 980 do not execute the script.
on resize of the window check the new width
if it was more then 980 previously
check if the width increased. if it is increased do nothing(script should not work)
check if the width is now less then 980 . START the script.Script should work now.
if it was less then 980 previosly.
check if the width increased more then 980. if it is increased STOP the script. it should not work now
check if the width is now less then 980 . Do nothing. Script should work now.
IN SHORT turn on the toggle function when width less then 980px. and turn the toggle off and set to show when width is more then 980px.
I figured it out as below. It works, but sometimes when i resize slowly it behave strangely.
var $window = $(window),
ONLOADtoggleEnabled = false,
smallscreenbefore = false;
$window.on('resize', function() {
if (smallscreenbefore == false && $window.width() > 1220) {
} else if( smallscreenbefore == false && $window.width() < 1220) {
$( "#Tablist" ).hide(400);
$( "#heading" ).click(function() {
$( "#Tablist" ).toggle(400);
});
$( "#Tablist" ).click(function() {
$( "#Tablist" ).toggle(400);
});
smallscreenbefore = true;
}
else if(smallscreenbefore == true && $window.width() > 1220 ) {
$( "#heading" ).unbind('click');
$( "#Tablist" ).unbind('click');
$( "#Tablist" ).show(400);
smallscreenbefore = false;
}
else if(smallscreenbefore == true && $window.width() < 1220 ) {
smallscreenbefore = false;
}
});
var $window = $(window);
$window.on('load', function() {
if ($window.width() < 1220) {
$( "#heading" ).click(function() {
$( "#Tablist" ).toggle(400);
});
$( "#Tablist" ).click(function() {
$( "#Tablist" ).toggle(400);
});
smallscreenbefore = true;
}
else if($window.width() > 1220) {
smallscreenbefore = false;
}
});

You can listen for the resize event on the window and then use the width to decide what you want to do. I suppose something like this should work:
var MAX_WIDTH = 980,
$window = $(window),
toggleEnabled = false;
$window.on('resize', function() {
// Check window width and check if toggle isn't already enabled
if ($window.width() < MAX_WIDTH) {
// Check if toggle isn't enabled yet
if (!toggleEnabled) {
// Use on() to add eventListener
$("#heading").on('click', function () {
$("#list").toggle();
});
$("#list").on('click', function () {
$("#list").toggle('hide');
});
toggleEnabled = true;
}
} else if (toggleEnabled) {
// Use off() to remove eventListener
$("#heading").off('click');
$("#list").off('click');
// Show the list
$('#list').show();
toggleEnabled = false;
}
$('#output').text('Width: ' + $window.width() + ', toggleEnabled: ' + toggleEnabled);
});
// You can trigger the resize event at the start to set the initial state of the menu
$window.trigger('resize');
