Adjusting the content area in 2 column layout when the left column is moved

I'm having a 2 column layout with left menu having fixed width and i'm following the structure
as given in http://blog.html.it/layoutgala/LayoutGala24.html.
On click of the navigation menu I'm trying to hide it to certain pixels.
How can right content adjust itself automatically when the navigation menu is animated to the left side?
JS
$("#navigation").on('click', function() {
var $el = $(this), animateLeft;
if(parseInt($el.css('margin-left')) === 0) {
animateLeft = "-=180px";
}else{
animateLeft = "+=180px";
}
$(this).animate({
marginLeft : animateLeft
},500, function() {
console.log("anim complete");
});
});
Demo - http://codepen.io/anon/pen/hCmKl

Try this:
$("#navigation").on('click', function() {
var $el = $(this), animateLeft;
if(parseInt($el.css('margin-left')) === 0) {
animateLeft = "-=180px";
}else{
animateLeft = "+=180px";
}
$(this).animate({
marginLeft : animateLeft
},500, function() {
console.log("anim complete");
});
$("#content").animate({
marginLeft: animateLeft
}, 500);
});

You have fixed margin-left , so in your case one solutions is to animate whole content :
$("#navigation").on('click', function() {
var $el = $(this).parent(), animateLeft;
if(parseInt($el.css('margin-left')) === 0) {
animateLeft = "-=180";
}else{
animateLeft = "+=180";
}
$(this).parent().animate({
marginLeft : animateLeft
},500, function() {
console.log("anim complete");
});
});

Toggling height of single div in group of divs

I have a number of divs with the same class on one page. I would like them to have a fixed height which expands to full height when clicking a toggle button. So far I have assembled a script from the internet which sort of does that, but currently it expands ALL divs on the page, not just the one div associated with the expand buttons. Could someone help me fix the script so it only expands one div, possibly resets the other one if it is expanded and toggles it back when the expand button is click again?
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$.fn.toggleClick = function() {
var functions = arguments;
return this.click(function() {
var iteration = $(this).data('iteration') || 0;
functions[iteration].apply(this, arguments);
iteration = (iteration + 1) % functions.length;
$(this).data('iteration', iteration);
});
};
var $dscr = $(".textblock"),
$switch = $(".expand a"),
$initHeight = 130; // Initial height
$dscr.each(function() {
$.data(this, "realHeight", $(this).height()); // Create new property realHeight
}).css({ overflow: "hidden", height: $initHeight + 'px' });
$switch.toggleClick(function() {
$dscr.animate({ height: $dscr.data("realHeight") }, 300);
$switch.html("-");
}, function() {
$dscr.animate({ height: $initHeight}, 300);
$switch.html("+");
});
});
See my jsfiddle for the script so far:
http://jsfiddle.net/N9DfH/1/

http://jsfiddle.net/N9DfH/21/
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
$.fn.toggleClick = function () {
var functions = arguments;
return this.each(function () {
var divel = $(this);
$('.expand a', divel.parent()).click(function () {
var iteration = $(this).data('iteration') || 0;
functions[iteration].apply(divel, arguments);
iteration = (iteration + 1) % functions.length;
$(this).data('iteration', iteration);
});
});
};
var $dscr = $(".textblock"),
$initHeight = 130; // Initial height
$dscr.each(function () {
$.data(this, "realHeight", $(this).height()); // Create new property realHeight
}).css({
overflow: "hidden",
height: $initHeight + 'px'
}).toggleClick(function () {
this.animate({
height: this.data("realHeight")
}, 300);
}, function () {
this.animate({
height: $initHeight
}, 300);
});
});

Unable to drop an element on mouseup event

Here is the jQuery code that I have written to drag multiple items at a time. It is draggable now but not droppable.
here is the code
$(document).on('click', function (e) {
var target = e.target;
if (!$(target).hasClass('a')) $('.selected').removeClass('selected');
});
$(document).delegate('.a', 'dblclick', function (e) {
$(this).addClass('selected');
});
$(document).delegate('.selected', 'mousedown', function (e) {
var div = $('<div></div>');
$('.selected').each(function () {
div.append($(this).clone());
});
div.prop('id', 'currentDrag');
$('#currentDrag').css({
left: e.pageX + "px",
top: e.pageY + "px"
});
$('body').append(div);
});
$(document).on('mouseup', function (e) {
var tgt = e.target;
var mPos = {
x: e.pageX,
y: e.pageY
};
$('.drop').each(function () {
var pos = $(this).offset(),
twt = $(this).width(),
tht = $(this).height();
});
if((mPos.x > pos.left) && (mPos.x < (pos.left + twt)) && (mPos.y > targPos.top) && (mPos.y < (pos.top + tht))) {
$(this).append($('#currentDrag').html());
}
$('.drop .selected').removeClass('selected');
$('#currentDrag').remove();
});
$('.drop').on('mouseup', function (e) {
$(tgt).append($('#currentDrag').html());
$('.drop .selected').removeClass('selected');
$('#currentDrag').remove();
});
$(document).on('mousemove', function (e) {
$('#currentDrag').css({
left: e.pageX + "px",
top: e.pageY + "px"
});
});
What is the pronblem with my code and how can I achieve this. here is the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/mDewr/27/

I would really recommend trying to find a way to make the jQuery UI draggable and droppable libraries work for you. Then the question becomes,
similar to this one: How do I drag multiple elements with JavaScript or jQuery?.
Here's how we can apply one of the answers from that question to your problem. I'm using the jQuery UI multiple draggable plugin, the entire script of which can be found here: jquery.ui.multidraggable-1.8.8.js.
First let's simplify your HTML. By putting our draggable and dropable divs inside of elements, we don't have to apply redundant stylings to each one. Instead we can use the containing element to style
HTML
<div id="parent">
<div id="dragTargets">
<div>123</div>
<div>456</div>
<div>789</div>
</div>
<div id='dropTargets'>
<div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
</div>
Using the plugin we can call multidraggable on each of the drag divs. And droppable anywhere they can be dropped
JavaScript
$("#dragTargets div").multidraggable();
$("#dropTargets div").droppable();
Customize
We can control the appearance with styling. As an example, we'll make anything that can receive drops yellow, anything you're about to drop as red, and anything that has received an element green.
Here's some styling as an example in CSS
.ui-state-highlight { background: green; }
.ui-state-active { background: yellow; }
.ui-state-hover { background: red; }
And we'll control when these classes are applied with JavaScript:
$("#dropTargets div").droppable({
activeClass: "ui-state-active",
hoverClass: "ui-state-hover",
drop: function () {
$(this).addClass("ui-state-highlight")
}
});
Multi-Draggable
You should style the elements that are currently selected. The script will apply the class ui-multidraggable to all the currently selected elements. The following CSS will make it apparent to the user that their choice is selected.
.ui-multidraggable {
background: tan;
}
Check out this demo. Just hold down ctrl to select more than one of the divs and then drag all of them at once.
jsFiddle

There are few errors in you code. You can check errors on browser console.
To check elements over droppable area, you should check the drop area in the each loop, rather than after each loop. When moving mouse, you should better turn off selection to avoid selected text flashing
$(document).on('click', '.a', function (e) {
$(this).removeClass('selected');
});
$(document).on('dblclick', '.a', function (e) {
$(this).toggleClass('selected');
});
$(document).on('mousedown', '.selected', function (e) {
var dragMode = true;
var div = $('<div></div>');
$('.selected').each(function () {
div.append($(this).clone());
});
div.prop('id', 'currentDrag');
$('#currentDrag').css({
left: e.pageX + "px",
top: e.pageY + "px"
});
$('body').append(div);
//disable selection on dropping start
disableSelection();
$(document).on('mousemove.drop', function(e){
onDragging(e, dragMode);
});
$(document).on('mouseup.drop', function(e){
onDragEnd(e, dragMode);
});
});
function onDragEnd(e, dragMode){
if(!dragMode)
return;
var tgt = e.target;
var mPos = {
x: e.pageX,
y: e.pageY
};
$('.drop').each(function () {
var pos = $(this).position(),
twt = $(this).width(),
tht = $(this).height();
if((mPos.x > pos.left) &&
(mPos.x < (pos.left + twt)) &&
(mPos.y > pos.top) &&
(mPos.y < (pos.top + tht))) {
$(this).append($('#currentDrag').html());
}
});
$('.drop .selected').removeClass('selected');
$('#currentDrag').remove();
$('.onDrop').removeClass('onDrop');
//remove listener on docuemnt when drop end
$(document).off('mousemove.drop');
$(document).off('mouseup.drop');
//enable selection
enableSelection();
}
function onDragging(e, dragMode){
if(!dragMode)
return;
var p = $('body').offset();
var mPos = {
x: e.pageX,
y: e.pageY
};
$('#currentDrag').css({
left: mPos.x,
top: mPos.y
});
$('.drop').each(function () {
var pos = $(this).position(),
twt = $(this).width(),
tht = $(this).height();
$(this).toggleClass("onDrop",
(mPos.x > pos.left)
&& (mPos.x < (pos.left + twt))
&& (mPos.y > pos.top)
&& (mPos.y < (pos.top + tht))
);
});
}
function disableSelection(){
$(document).on("selectstart", function(){ return false; });
//firefox
$("body").css("-moz-user-select", "none");
}
function enableSelection(){
$(document).off("selectstart");
//firefox
$("body").css("-moz-user-select", "");
}
I updated your code: http://jsfiddle.net/mDewr/46/, may can help you.

There were several errors, which I'll not list now, but you can compare the old version with the new one.
$(document).on('dblclick', '.a', function (e) {
$(this).toggleClass('selected');
});
$(document).on('mousedown', '.selected', function (e) {
var div = $('<div id="currentDrag"></div>');
$('.selected').each(function () {
div.append($(this).clone(true));
});
var p = $('body').offset();
var l = e.pageX - p.left;
var t = e.pageY - p.top;
console.log(l, ', ', t);
$('body').append(div);
$('#currentDrag').css({
left: l,
top: t
});
});
$(document).on('mouseup', '.selected', function (e) {
$('.d').each(function(index, item){
var $i = $(item);
if (e.pageX >= $i.offset().left &&
e.pageX <= $i.offset().left + $i.width() &&
e.pageY >= $i.offset().top &&
e.pageY <= $i.offset().top + $i.height()) {
console.log('Dropped');
var $cl = $('#currentDrag').find('>*').clone(true);
$i.append($cl);
}
});
$('.selected').removeClass('selected');
$('#currentDrag').remove();
});
$(document).on('mousemove', function (e) {
var p = $('body').offset();
$('#currentDrag').css({
left: e.pageX - p.left,
top: e.pageY - p.top
});
});

Everything should work perfectly in this version (this is an update).
PS: I've changed to 1.7+ jQuery, but you can easily change it back to <1.7. Also you don't need custom attributes, use css classes instead.

Sliding Panels with JavaScript

This example I've found is exactly what I was looking for: http://jsfiddle.net/sg3s/RZpbK/
Thx to the author sg3s
jQuery(function($) {
$('a.panel').click(function() {
var $target = $($(this).attr('href')),
$other = $target.siblings('.active'),
animIn = function () {
$target.addClass('active').show().css({
right: -($target.width())
}).animate({
left: 0
}, 500);
};
if (!$target.hasClass('active') && $other.length > 0) {
$other.each(function(index, self) {
var $this = $(this);
$this.removeClass('active').animate({
left: -$this.width()
}, 500, animIn);
});
} else if (!$target.hasClass('active')) {
animIn();
}
});
});
But I got a little problem with it. I would like the panels to "open" and "close" from the right. I'm not familiar with javascript and I'm not able to tweak it properly.
Can anyone help me with this ?

Like this?
http://jsfiddle.net/RZpbK/845/
All I did was modify the animIn to:
animIn = function () {
$target.addClass('active').show().css({
left: +($target.width())
}).animate({
left: 0
}, 500);
};

Just replace the left: -($target.width()) with left: $target.width() in both places

Based on your previous comment, this is more what you want?
http://jsfiddle.net/RZpbK/847/
Just changed it so animIn executed right away instead of as a callback after the fadeout was done.
$this.removeClass('active').animate({
left: -$this.width()
}, 500);
animIn();

Disable click event until animation completes

In my game I have a grid populated with words. To spell the words the user has to click on the letters on the side called "drag". When a letter is clicked it animates into position on the grid.
The problem I am having is that the user can click letters rapidly, which crashes the program. To solve this I want to disable the click events until the animation completes.
In the past I have used a setTimeOut function before but it is not a reliable method as the timing all depends on browser speeds.
Here is the click event:
$('.drag').on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var target = $('.highlight-problem .drop-box:not(.occupied):first');
var targetPos = target.parents('td').position();
console.log(targetPos);
var currentPos = $(this).offset();
var b = $(this);
if (target.length) {
target.addClass("occupied");
$(".occupied").parent(".flip-wrapper").addClass("flipped");
var clonedObject = b.clone()
if (b.data("letter") == target.parents('td').data("letter")) {
clonedObject.addClass("right-letter");
target.addClass('right-letter');
setTimeout(function () {
hitSound.play();
}, 550);
} else {
clonedObject.addClass("wrong-letter");
target.addClass('wrong-letter');
setTimeout(function () {
missSound.play();
}, 550);
}
clonedObject.appendTo("table").css({
position: "absolute",
top: currentPos.top,
left: currentPos.left
}).stop().animate({
top: targetPos.top,
left: targetPos.left
}, "slow", function () {
$(this).prop('disabled', false).css({
top: 0,
left: 0
}).appendTo(target);
var spellWord = $('.highlight-problem .drop-box');
if (!spellWord.filter(':not(.occupied)').length) {
var wordIsCorrect = 0;
spellWord.each(function () {
if ($(this).parents('td').data("letter") == $(this).find("div").data("letter")) {
console.log('letter is: ' + $(this).find("div").data("letter"))
wordIsCorrect++;
}
});

You can do it in simple 3 steps.
Declare a global variable called animationComplete and set it to false.
var animationComplete = false;
In your .animate({...}); function, toggle the value after the animation is complete.
.animate({
top: targetPos.top,
left: targetPos.left
}, "slow", function () {
...
animationComplete = true;
});
Check for the completeness using the global variable.
if (animationComplete)
{
// Do something!
}
Full Code
JavaScript
animationComplete = true;
$(document).ready(function(){
animationComplete = false;
$(".background").animate({
height: 50,
width: 50
}, 10000, function(){
animationComplete = true;
});
$("button").click(function(){
if (animationComplete)
$(".background").animate({
height: 200,
width: 200
}, 10000, function(){
animationComplete = false;
});
else
alert("Please wait till the animation is complete!");
});
});
HTML
<div class="background"></div>
<button>Click me!</button>​
CSS
.background {background: red;}

Can't test code atm, but checking if the element is not animated within click function should do
if(!$('selector:animated')){
}
