Jquery not resizing image on slider

The problem is that I have an image larger than 477 x 205, but i'll need them for another things, it would be a problem to make 2 or 3 images with diferent sizes. So, I decided to resize it on jquery. The major problem is that i'm new on JQUERY ( please, be patient :B ).
I've read some of the topics, but none helped me, the one that got closer was to add "$('#slides').css('background-size', '477px 205px');":
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#slides').coinslider({ hoverPause: true });
$('#slides').css('background-size', '477px 205px');
$('#slides').css('overflow', 'hidden');
});
but, that didn't solve it, also, it starts at the right size, but when the slider starts looping, it gets a mess again

Change this:
$('#slides').css('background-size', '477px 205px');
To this:
$('#slides').width(477).height(205);
The overflow: hidden will hide the rest of the image.

More relevant code would be helpful in providing better guidance. Have you considered "background-size: cover" yet?
Reference 1,
Reference 2

After 1 week without the solution, i've reached on what I was making mistakes, i was o the .js, when the Js loads, he create his own CSS for the slider, so I had to add the "background-size: size" on it like this:
// positioning squares
$("#cs-"+el.id+i+j).css({
'background-position': -sLeft +'px '+(-sTop+'px'),
'left' : sLeft ,
'top': sTop,
'background-size':'477px 205px'
});
as it wasn't fixed a size to it, it would take the real size of the image as default.
Thank you for trying to help me with this issue!

Display image on top of page with big 3 + jquery, in FireFox?

Would like to bring a single image to the front or on top of the page, when selected.
After searching, it seems there are many plug-ins that support this - but also have a lot of other functionality and overhead I don't need (gallery, support for video, thumbnails, etc.)
Is it possible to just bring a single image on top with basic JavaScript, CSS, HTML and jQuery, specifically in FireFox?
Thank You.
(Please note*: This is an in house product, hence these requirements and constraints.)

Is it possible to just bring a single image ontop with basic JavaScript, CSS, HTML and jQuery, specifically in FireFox?
Yes, it's possible, but the plugins are most of the time an easier implementation. What you are trying to accomplish is something similar to the light box effect, but I'll try to give a simple solution based on 4 steps you need to accomplish what you are trying to do:
Create an overlay div. This one div will blur or darken your entire page. In the below example it will darken your screen (because it's simpler).
Create an div that will be appended to the overlay div and will contain the image you want to show. In the demo below, this div will be lighter than the overlay one and will actually have half the width and half the height of your screen.
Append a bigger image to your image-div.
Add a subtitle to your image based on it's alt text.
$(document).ready(function()
{
var docWidth = $(document).width();
var docHeight = $(document).height();
//First Step" Creating the overlay-div and adding opacity to it
var overlayDiv = "<div id="overlay-div"></div>"
$("body").append(overlayDiv);
$("#overlay-div").css("position","absolute", "top","0","left","0","background-color","#000","opacity","0.5", "width", docWidth + "px", "height",docHeight + "px");
//Second step: Creating the image-div and centering it on the screen
$("#overlay-div").append("<div id=\"image-div\"></div>");
$("#image-div").css("position","absolute", "top",docHeight/4 + "px","left",docWidth/4 + "px","background-color","#FFF", "width", docWidth/2, "height",docHeight);
//Third step: Creating an image to display inside the image-div and centering it
$("#image-div").append("<img src=\"path/to/your/image\"id=\"zoomed-img\" alt=\"This is a zoomed image\"/>");
var imgWidth = $("#image-div").width();
var imgHeight = $("#image-height").height();
$("#image-div").css("position","absolute", "top","10px","left","10px");
//Fourth step: Creating a subtitle from the alt text
var subtitle = "<p id=\"text-subtitle\">" + $("#image-div").attr("alt") + "</p>";
$("#image-div").append(subtitle);
$("#text-subtitle").css("position","absolute", "top",imgHeight + 20 + "px","left","10px");
});
This function is triggered when your document is ready, and get an arbitrary image. But it's possible to display a different image (with a different subtitle) triggered by a click with a little tweak of the code above.
I had the intention to show you a simple demo that it's feasible to with with a few lines of jQuery/javascript code to create what you want. Of course it's not as pretty as 90% of the effects of the plugins there are around but it may be a start.
I hope it helped. Cheers

Here is a very basic example I whipped up. Hopefully good to learn from:
http://jsfiddle.net/v9LTP/2/
$('img').click(function(){ //bind a click event handler to images
var img = $(this).clone().addClass('modal').appendTo($('#blackout')); //clone the clicked image element and add to the blackout div which gives the dark background.
$('#blackout > #close').click(function(){ //attach click handler to close button
$('#blackout').fadeOut(function(){ //fade the blackout div
img.remove(); //remove the image element we cloned, so we can do it again.
});
});
$('#blackout').fadeIn(); //show the blackout div
});

JQuery animated banner

So I previously asked a question about how to create a banner like the one shown here and I got a really good answer to start me off. I have been working on it since and I'm having a lot of problems getting the animation to slide back to it's original position.
Here is my animation: http://jsfiddle.net/43nCF/ (don't click the green block first)
Issue: After the first time you toggle a block, clicking another block will not move it to the left.
I also have some other minor issues which I would be grateful if someone helped me with.
How do I get the width and the moving of the blocks to animate simultaneously like in the banner animation I am trying to replicate?
How do I get the block to slide back to the original position instead of just kind of 'transporting' there?
I am only beginner at jQuery so any help would be amazing.Thanks.

As for the positioning problem: you need to drop the left declaration in your second function.
Regarding making the animation act simultanous: animate both the right and the width property for each element, in one call:
function() {
var position = $.data(this, 'position');
var ind = $(this).index();
//moves image back to original position
$('#container div').each(
function() {
$(this).animate({
right: "",
width: 100
});
});
});
Working example here.

I see you have a response.
In case this version is of any help to you:
http://jsfiddle.net/vCbcz/
Instead of altering the divs other than the one being affected, I wrapped them all in a #slider div and adjusted that one's left margin to push it to the left.
$('#slider').animate({
marginLeft: '-' + ind * 105 + 'px'
});
and back
$('#slider').animate({
marginLeft: 0 + 'px'
});

There is a much easier way altogether of doing this. By using jQuery's scrollTo plugin, this can be done in a mere few lines of code, without using indices, calculations, or anything of that nature.

Div width expand/shrink on click

For a site I'm making for myself and a friend, I have a div container/wrapper with 2 other divs within it: one occupies the left half and has a black background and the other occupies the right with a white background. Essentially, this lets me get a split colored background. Each div holds half of a logo. Here's the page, temporarily hosted so you guys can see it.
http://djsbydesign.com/tempsite/index.htm
At any rate, I'd like to have links on the left and right hand sides of the page that, on click, cause their respective divs to expand from 50% to 100%. I have a few ideas, but am not sure entirely how to go about doing this (I'm rather new to javascript). The first would be to have the expanding div's z-index set to something higher than the non-expanding one, and then have it expand (somehow), and the other is to have the expanding div expand to 100% while the other shrinks to 0% at an equal rate.
The bottom line is, I have no idea how to go about doing this. I don't mind using mootools or jQuery, for the record.

The following seems to work:
$('#left-bg, #right-bg').click(
function(){
$(this).animate({'width': '100%'},600).siblings().animate({'width':'0'},600);
});
Albeit I'm not sure how you'd plan to bring back the the 'other' div.
JS Fiddle demo.
Edited to add a button (via jQuery) that allows both divs to be reverted to original dimensions:
$('#left-bg, #right-bg').click(
function(){
$(this).animate({'width': '100%'},600).siblings().animate({'width':'0'},600);
$('<button class="show">Show all</button>')
.appendTo('#wrapper');
});
$('.show').live('click',
function(){
$('#left-bg').animate(
{
'width': '50%'
},600);
$('#right-bg').animate(
{
'width': '50%'
},600);
$(this).remove();
});
Updated JS Fiddle.
Edited to address the question left by OP in the comments:
is there a way to have a page redirect after the animation completes?
Yep, just add the line window.location.href = "http://path.to.url.com/";
$('#left-bg, #right-bg').click(
function(){
$(this).animate({'width': '100%'},600).siblings().animate({'width':'0'},600);
$('<button class="show">Show all</button>')
.appendTo('#wrapper');
window.location.href = "http://www.google.com/" // <-- this line redirects.
});
$('.show').live('click',
function(){
$('#left-bg').animate(
{
'width': '50%'
},600);
$('#right-bg').animate(
{
'width': '50%'
},600);
$(this).remove();
});
Updated JS Fiddle.
Edited in response to bug report (in comments):
The one other bug (easy fix) is that any time you click on either of the divs, it creates a new button. So say you clicked on the left half, and it expanded and filled the page, etc., and then you clicked on it again (it being anywhere on the page now). It would attempt to add a second button.
To prevent a second button being added to the div just add an if:
$('#left-bg, #right-bg').click(
function(){
if (!$('.show').length) {
$(this).animate({'width': '100%'},600).siblings().animate({'width':'0'},600);
$('<button class="show">Show all</button>')
.appendTo('#wrapper');
window.location.href = "http://www.google.com/" // <-- this line redirects.
}
});
Which, will only append a button, or indeed animate the divs, so long as the $('.show') selector returns no matches.
However if you're also redirecting to another page by clicking the button it shouldn't be an issue anyway, since none of the jQuery on the original page will exectute/be able to access the page to which the user is redirected (unless it's a page on your own domain, and you've explicitly chosen to add the same button).

If you give absolute positions to your div's such that - 1st is positioned at top left corner and other is positioned at top right corner. And then in click event you can change the position of the other top corner of the div to be expanded.
You can use jquery to do this easily. Check jquery documentation for setting css.

Looks like you've got jQuery included, so use that! It's totes the easiest library to do simple animations with.
Here's an example click function that will slide the right background to be 100% like you said:
$('a#link').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('#left-bg').animate({ width : '0%' }, 'slow');
$('#right-bg').animate({ width : '100%' }, 'slow');
});
Obviously to go in the other direction you'd switch the width values in the object passed to the animate functions.
If you're not familiar with the animate function, check the docs, but basically you just pass CSS rules in a key : value object to it, and it'll change the CSS values over time - animating it!
Hope this helps!

Javascript zoom in/out in overlay not working on second image load

I have some javascript that calls for an overlay to display a full preview of images, and a button to zoom-in/out and a button to go back.
The trouble is when I first view the full image, the zoom in/out toggle works fine, but when I go back to the thumbnails and launch another image, the zoom-in/out does not work.
The DOM tree structure is like this:
overlay(**parent**) >> imgContainer >> imgCanvas(draggable) >> img
May be some code would help my case. Can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong here?
//enables the zoom-in/zoom-out toggle function
$('#Zoom').toggle(function() {
img.removeAttribute("height");
$("#draggable").draggable();
iconZ.setAttribute("src", "nav/nav-zoom-out.gif");
},
function() {
img.setAttribute("height", "270px");
$("#draggable").draggable('destroy');
$("#draggable").animate(
{ "left": $("#draggable").data("Left"), "top": $("#draggable").data("Top")}, "slow");
iconZ.setAttribute("src", "nav/nav-zoom.gif");
});
//navigates back to the thumbnails
home.addEventListener('click', function() {
$('imgCanvas').remove();
imgContainer.removeChild(imgCanvas);
overlay.removeChild(imgContainer);
$('#overlay').removeClass("on");
}
, false);

You are destroying what looks like the sections of the page you are putting the images in. I think you mean to hide them only.
