Scenario
We have a website with a bunch of divs in them. divs aren't all the same size, but can only be 1 of 3 sizes. divs can be hidden and displayed by the click of a filter button. This hiding and showing is done with the MixItUp jQuery plugin. When all blocks are displayed, it looks like this:
Complication
There are two pages of these blocks. Pages can only be browsed if there is no filter selected. Let's say I select 'Filter 1', the filter 1 blocks show, and the rest hide, but now the blocks look like this (page 2 blocks in blue):
What I need
I need to have the blocks sort better. Like it's got to run down one side if needed, else as square as possible. In this case, the best solution would be to have it run down like so:
Is this at all possible with javascript/jquery/css? I also need to mention that this is a wordpress site built with a custom bootstrap 3 theme. So all this code is custom. I've tried CSS float to no luck. Any assistance with this would be appreciated.

I want to add a split menu to a Typo3 site that shall also be responsive for mobile screens.
So far I have solved it with two separate menus using lib.mainMenu.special.value = x,y,z on both sides (left and right). The problem is how to merge the two menus to one in responsive mobile viewport.
All pages are at the same level in the tree (but this is not a must).
Any ideas, solutions, scripts or tutorials?
Depending on your framework you either have already some mechanism for changes of menu-display or you need to create your own.
Frameworks like bootstrap already use javascript to dublicate your menu into a hidden one for displaying it in the 'burger-menu' on small screens.
You can do the same: render the menu in the complexest view and rebuild other variants with javascript.
pro: smaller html, faster server-response.
con: work to do in the client, additional JS.
You also can build all versions in TYPO3 and render them and only CSS decides what to display in current screen resolution.
pro: complexer or more different markup for different versions are easier to handle, no DOM-changes at the client
con: more rendering time, bigger HTML
it depends on the complexity of the design:
is the menu splitted inside the HTML?
how much differ the splitted and joined version for each entry?
There are several approaches that could help
The oldest (and outdated IMO) is yaml css. There you could use the layout to (re)sort columns.
A nice approach I just used for a project is flexbox-layout, there you can resort, and restructure almost independent from HTML-structure. One source for explanations is css-tricks.com
another possibility is using css grid layout, you can read about it on css-tricks.com too.
with Javascript and the DOM-model you can do almost everything, you can manipulate whatever you want, it's just a matter if you like the menu determined by JS, i.e. for accessible-aspects I avoid it usually, at least on that level you like to reach.
another option is to restructure the menu, i.e adding already the 2nd menu to the first one, but using breakpoints to show it or hide it (and the 2nd menu in the right sidebar).
my preference is to create the menu(s) that only display has to be change depending on the device, but nothing has to be hidden or created double, just the styling is changing based on breakpoints.
I have solved it by hiding the menu items I want on the right side and wrapped every item with either "hide0" or "hide1" with
NO.wrapItemAndSub = <li class="hide{field:nav_hide}">|</li>
NO.wrapItemAndSub.insertData = 1
doNotLinkIt.field = nav_hide
JavaScript and CSS does the rest. Now I can display non-hidden elements in the left menu, hidden ones in the right menu and the responsive menu displays all. Thanks for the help.
I'm seeking to emulate the on-clickable input forms that pops up when an user clicks on the blue bar as shown above. My experience with front-end development is limited so I don't know what to call these elements exactly, but let's say they are on-clickable input forms contained in a box, which can lead to other on-clickable forms like the date picker as shown.
How do I do this in Javascript? Preferably with AngularJS, since the app I'm working on uses that. I don't mind using JQuery though.
I'm not looking for detailed step-by-step instructions (which I don't mind), but hints to get me started on cloning these features.
Thanks.
The pop-ups you see are going to be HTML elements, probably <div>s. The page will use JavaScript to create event listeners on the bars to hide/show them when the bars are clicked/moused over. The "pop-ups" are really just like any other element in the page, but with a higher Z-index and using CSS positioning (most likely absolute) to make it appear as a pop-up. It also looks like they're using the CSS arrow trick to draw the speech bubble pointer, though it could also be accomplished with images.
If I were to develop this, I'd break it down into stages like this:
Get my pop-up into my HTML page, and make sure it's not appearing anywhere.
Make it show/hide when I wanted it to (either when the blue bar is clicked, or when the user mouses in/mouses out of the blue bar).
Make it show/hide where I want it to (near the blue bar)
Make it look better (work on the CSS and get the pointer to work properly)
Convert that work into a second-level popout. The second level is going to be the exact same technique, but maybe the CSS classes are going to be different so the second bubbles look different and have the pointer at a different position.
Of course, you don't have to develop this functionality yourself. There are also a number of jQuery plugins you could use, as well as Bootstrap's popover component.
I am a beginner at jQuery and I have been trying to place more than one div in one slide bar. Basically, I am working on auction site and I want a DIV which displays more than one item in same div with “Next” and “Previous” button arrows.
For example:
When you visit an auction site, one slide-bar should appear containing more than one item (multiple DIVs). The slide-bar should have a text that appears, saying “newly arrived item or recommended for you etc.”
Here's a screenshot of what I mean:
Is there any way to achieve this using jQuery? I have just recently started working with jQuery and I am stuck. Any help is much appreciated.
Assuming that “building your own” isn't an option for you, you could take a look at jQuery plugins like Smooth DIV Scroll, or any alike plugin that scrolls content horizontally left or right.
Generally, one of the nice places to find a multitude of jQuery plugins would be (for example) the jquery-plugins.net website. There you'll find usable plugins for what you're trying to do. Just one of many available there that also does what you're looking for: Any List Scroller – jQuery Plugin To Scroll Lists.
As said, there's more than a dozen alike plugins scattered all over the internet. All you need to do is to deciding which one fits your individual site best. In case of doubt, fire up your favorite search engine and look for “jquery div scroller”.
I'm trying to create a column-based, blog layout. I want the text to wrap to a new column when it hits the bottom of the page. At it's very simplest form something like, when the column height == the_height_of_the_wrapper then column-count++.
The problem with something like that would be the text would be distributed evenly. Also, that would rely on css columns and I want something a bit more browser-friendly. Are there any existing plugins for this functionality or anywhere I can get some ideas?
If anyone is familiar with any of the text-heavy windows 8 "metro" apps (such as the news one) that's the kind of layout I'm trying to mimic.
As i noticed in comments, you cannot use column-count there. But there is solution, check this one please: Continuing overflowed text in a different div?
Alternatively. You can apply a fixed height (even a percentage will work) to the wrapper the columns will fill appropriately. (example: w3schools.com/css3/tryit.asp?filename=trycss3_column-count). It even seems as though you don't have to specify a fixed column count as it appears to create extra columns as the content dictates.
I'm currently taking a web development class and looking to go beyond the "scope" of the class. I managed to create a jquery slide show in a div, now id like to show case some other features in two other divs, stack them into a single div and and call them via a set of toggles. Any methods or roads that can be suggested?
By stacked I mean three divs, one on top of the other. One of these divs is a jquery slider. I'd like a toggle to show one and hide the other two. I'll try and post code after I make it home from work.
Not sure what you mean by "stack", but jQuery Accordion might be a simple solution to get what you're looking for.
It also has methods that you could call from other ~buttons~ to trigger to show/hide effect.
You could even make the three divs into a slide show that is triggered by clicking some navigation like forward and back arrows. Look into the Anything Slider.
