Issue with jQuery-based carousel and window resize

I have a weird bug in my code that is causing my carousel to act funny if the window is resized.
I haven't been able to pin-point what may be causing the issue, but if you run the code and then resize the window, the carousel will start to move back and forth rapidly, avoiding the 10-second timer that I have placed on it.
Here is a link to my example fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/zeropsi/ufvLn25b/
Any thoughts?

The trouble is when window is being resized, the window.resize gets triggered a number of times and because of that carousel keeps sliding rapidly. I searched for 'jquery window resize trigger once complete' and found help. This is how I modified your code from the fiddle.
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$(document).on("click", ".carousel-indicators li", function() {
$(".carousel-indicators li").removeClass("active");
var a = $(this).data("slide");
$(this).addClass("active");
$("div#billboards").animate({
"left": (a * -100) + "%"
});
$(".billboard").removeClass("active");
$(".billboard[data-billboard='" + a + "']").addClass("active");
return false;
});
// var resizeTimer;
//
// $(window).on("resize", function() {
// console.log("window resized");
//
// clearTimeout(resizeTimer);
// resizeTimer = setTimeout(function() {
// // run code here, resizing has stopped
// BillboardCarousel.init();
// },10000);
//
// });
var id;
$(window).on("resize", function() {
clearTimeout(id);
id = setTimeout(doneResizing, 500);
});
function doneResizing(){
BillboardCarousel.init();
}
if ($("section#carousel").length === 1) {
BillboardCarousel.init();
}
});
var BillboardCarousel = {
init: function() {
BillboardCarousel.resize();
},
imagesLoaded: function() {
var imagesLoaded = 0;
$(".billboard").each(function() {
var image = new Image();
image.src = $(this).data("image");
image.onload = function() {
imagesLoaded++;
if (imagesLoaded === $(".billboard").length) {
BillboardCarousel.startCarousel();
}
};
});
},
startCarousel: function() {
var interval = parseInt($("div#billboards").data('interval'));
window.setInterval(function() {
BillboardCarousel.timer();
}, 10000);
},
resize: function() {
var a = $(".billboard").length;
var b = $(window).width();
$(".billboard").css({
"width": b + "px",
"float": "left",
"display": "inline-block"
});
$("div#billboards").css({
"width": a * 100 + "%",
"left": "0%"
});
$("div#billboards").attr("data-interval", 10000);
BillboardCarousel.imagesLoaded();
},
timer: function() {
var a = $(".billboard.active").data("billboard");
a++;
if (a >= $(".billboard").length) {
a = 0;
}
$(".billboard").removeClass("active");
$(".carousel-indicators li").removeClass("active");
$(".billboard[data-billboard='" + a + "']").addClass("active");
$(".carousel-indicators li[data-slide='" + a + "']").addClass("active");
$("div#billboards").animate({ "left": (a * -100) + "%" });
}
};
</script>

Firing an animation when aligned

I am creating a splitscrolling website and it's working great. But i have one problem, when the user stops scrolling it fires a function called alignWhenIdle and what this does is align the columns so they become "one".
Now that is working nicely but i can't seem to target a specific part of the column that aligns. let's say when the number 2 column aligns ( see image ) i want to be able to fire an animation. I tried using a callback but that fires a function every time the columns are aligned.
This is my JS:
(function ($) {
var top = 0;
var contentHeight, contents, totalHeight;
var locked = false;
var timeout;
var align = function () {
var pos = (top + $(window).scrollTop());
var snapUp = 0 - (pos % contentHeight) < (contentHeight / 2);
var multiplier = snapUp
? Math.ceil(pos / contentHeight)
: Math.floor(pos / contentHeight);
var newTop = contentHeight * multiplier;
$('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: newTop + totalHeight }, 200);
locked = false;
};
var reset = function () {
contentHeight = $('.right').height();
contents = $('.right > .content').length;
totalHeight = contentHeight * (contents - 1);
top = (0 - totalHeight);
};
var scrollRight = function () {
$('.right').css('top', (top + $(window).scrollTop()) + 'px');
};
var alignWhenIdle = function (delay) {
clearTimeout(timeout);
timeout = setTimeout(align, delay);
};
$(document).on('ready', function () {
reset();
scrollRight();
});
$(window).on('scroll', function () {
locked = true;
scrollRight();
});
$(window).on('mouseup', function (e) {
if (locked) {
align();
}
});
$(window).resize(function () {
locked = true;
reset();
scrollRight();
alignWhenIdle(300);
});
$(window).on('mousewheel', function (e) {
alignWhenIdle(300);
});
$(window).on("keyup", function (e) {
alignWhenIdle(300);
});
})(jQuery);

Any help is much appreciated,
Cheers

See http://jsfiddle.net/5T9Y8/
Scroll till the column 2 and see result...
In the method align I've added a callback:
$('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: newTop + totalHeight }, 200, function(){
$(".animate").animate({ marginLeft: "200px" },300);
});
Works well, did you need exactly that?
EDIT
You should just check for some condition.
E.g. based on this solution Check if element is visible after scrolling you can build this:
$('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: newTop + totalHeight }, 200, function(){
if (isScrolledIntoView(".animate")) $(".animate").animate({ marginLeft: "200px" },300);
});
See updated solution here http://jsfiddle.net/5T9Y8/1/
This is only one way, I'm really sure there is a way to do it even better. E.g. you can calculate the current elements which are shown and then just find the things only inside of them.

I tried using a callback but that fires a function every time the columns are aligned.
Use one method for functioning only once instead of on.

The function starting too early

I'm building a contact system usin jQuery ajax. form's div has a height, so I thought that it will be nice if when you click on the input (OnFocus), the div will become bigger and when you will scroll up or down the div will return to it's regular height. The problem is that after clicking, the div become bigger and then immediately returns to it's regular height. here is my code:
var big = false,
lastpalce = "",
position = "";
function contectboxreturn() {
if (big) {
$("#contact").animate({
"height": "515px"
}, 400);
$("#showclosebutton").hide(fast);
big = false;
}
}
function contectboxresize() {
if (!big) {
big = true;
lastpalce = $(this).scrollTop();
position = $("#contact").offset();
$("html, body").animate({
scrollTop: position.top + "px"
}, 400);
$("#contact").animate({
"height": "100%"
}, 400);
$("#showclosebutton").show(fast);
$(function () {
$(window).scroll(function () {
if (position.top != $(this).scrollTop()) {
contectboxreturn();
}
});
});
}
}

Set Big to TRUE as a callback of your animation. Like so.
$("#contact").animate({
"height": "100%"
}, 400, function(){
big = true;
});
updated fiddle

Try placing your scroll event OUTSIDE your contectboxresize() function like this:
var big = false,
lastpalce = "",
position = "";
$(function () {
$(window).scroll(function () {
if (position.top != $(this).scrollTop()) {
contectboxreturn();
}
});
});
function contectboxreturn() {
if (big) {
$("#contact").animate({
"height": "515px"
}, 400);
$("#showclosebutton").hide(fast);
big = false;
}
}
function contectboxresize() {
if (!big) {
big = true;
lastpalce = $(this).scrollTop();
position = $("#contact").offset();
$("html, body").animate({
scrollTop: position.top + "px"
}, 400);
$("#contact").animate({
"height": "100%"
}, 400);
$("#showclosebutton").show(fast);
}
}

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);
});
});

jQuery gallery with setInterval() method does not work correctly when page loses focus

I create jQuery code for listing images every 5 sec - when the focus is on the button which is located on the picture, it must stop changing. I have a problem when my page is lost focus - when I back it dose not work correctly for some time because the coordinates of pictures are not correct!
Here is my SavasSript code:
var displayTimeout = 5000;
var bannerCurrentImgIndex = 0;
var timer;
var link;
function bannerDoWork() {
var bannerImages = $("#myGallery .main_pic");
var bannerImagesCount = bannerImages.length;
if (bannerCurrentImgIndex == bannerImagesCount - 1) {
bannerImages.eq(bannerCurrentImgIndex).animate({ 'left': '-725px' }, 'slow');
bannerImages.eq(0).animate({ 'left': '0' }, 'slow');
bannerImages.eq(bannerCurrentImgIndex - 1).css({ 'position': 'absolute', 'left': '725px' });
bannerCurrentImgIndex = 0;
}
else {
bannerImages.eq(bannerCurrentImgIndex).animate({ 'left': '-725px' }, 'slow');
bannerImages.eq(bannerCurrentImgIndex + 1).animate({ 'left': '0' }, 'slow');
bannerImages.eq(bannerCurrentImgIndex - 1).css({ 'position': 'absolute', 'left': '725px' });
bannerCurrentImgIndex = bannerCurrentImgIndex + 1;
}
}
$(document).ready(function () {
timer = setInterval(function () { bannerDoWork(); }, displayTimeout);
link = $("#myGallery .main_pic_btn");
link.hover(function () { timer = clearInterval(timer); },
function () {
if (timer == null)
timer = setInterval(function () { bannerDoWork(); }, displayTimeout);
});
});

I find answer! I set animate parameter queue=false - and now it works great!
Example:
firstPic.animate({ left: 0, top: 0 }, { queue: false, duration: "slow" });
