jQuery Overflow: Hidden on Parent, Detect if Child is Actually On Visible

I'm having an issue with this jQuery that is blowing my mind. I've tried three different JS and jQuery functions people suggested online for accomplishing this and can't seem to get anything to work.
I'm trying to hide the class .arrow-up when .first is actually visible on the screen and hide the class .arrow-down when .last is visible on the screen.
Sounds simple enough, right?
Well the parent element has overflow: hidden on it (like most carousels–they really are from hell). Anyone know how to do this? I'd really appreciate any help, JS really isn't my strongest by any means...
Here's my current jQuery–
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
$(".arrow-down").bind("click", function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
$(".vid-list-container").stop().animate({
scrollTop: "+=300"
}, 300);
});
$(".arrow-up").bind("click", function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
$(".vid-list-container").stop().animate({
scrollTop: "-=300"
}, 300);
});
});
In this, .vid-list-container is the parent with overflow: hidden on it and .first and .last are both inside the container. The arrow classes are both outside of the container.

Thanks!

This should work. Notice however that I used opacity:0, so the arrow can still be clicked. You need to change that!
function checkDownArrow() {
setTimeout(function() {
if($(".vid-list-container").scrollTop() != 0){
$('.arrow-up').css('opacity',1);
}
if(($(".vid-list-container").scrollTop() + $(".vid-item").height()+5) >= $(".vid-item").length * $(".vid-item").height()) {
$('.arrow-down').css('opacity',0);
}
},350);
}
function checkUpArrow() {
setTimeout(function() {
if($(".vid-list-container").scrollTop() == 0){
$('.arrow-up').css('opacity',0);
}
if(($(".vid-list-container").scrollTop() + $(".vid-item").height()+5) < $(".vid-item").length * $(".vid-item").height()) {
$('.arrow-down').css('opacity',1);
}
},350);
}
checkDownArrow();
checkUpArrow();
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
$(".arrow-down").bind("click", function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
$(".vid-list-container").stop().animate({
scrollTop: "+=173"
}, 300);
checkDownArrow();
});
$(".arrow-up").bind("click", function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
$(".vid-list-container").stop().animate({
scrollTop: "-=173"
}, 300);
checkUpArrow();
});
});

EDIT
Okay, I see you have a different problem... may I suggest using a different approach? Something like this.
HTML:
<div class="outer-wrapper">
<div class="inner-wrapper">
<div class="vid-item">
...
</div>
<div class="vid-item">
...
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.outer-wrapper {width:200px; height:150px; overflow:hidden;}
.inner-wrapper {height:auto; margin-top:0;}
.vid-item {width:200px; height:150px;}
JS:
var itemHeight = $('.vid-item').first().height();
var wrapperHeight = $('.inner-container').height();
$(".arrow-down").bind("click", function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
var margin = parseInt($('.inner-container').css('margin-top'));
if(itemHeight - margin > wrapperHeight) {
$('.inner-container').css('margin-top', (itemHeight-wrapperHeight) + 'px');
$('.arrow-down').addClass('hidden');
}
else {
$('.inner-container').css('margin-top', (margin-itemHeight) + 'px');
}
$('.arrow-up').removeClass('hidden');
});
$(".arrow-up").bind("click", function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
var margin = parseInt($('.inner-container').css('margin-top'));
if(margin + itemHeight >= 0) {
$('.inner-container').css('margin-top', '0');
$('.arrow-up').addClass('hidden');
}
else {
$('.inner-container').css('margin-top', (margin+itemHeight) + 'px');
}
$('.arrow-down').removeClass('hidden');
});

How to rotate a bullet image in toggled unordered list with jQuery

Ok, I have totally retooled my approach (thank you superUntitled) and am making progress... I have an unordered list that users can toggle and my only remaining issue is that when I expand some items, and then click "Show All Cities" not all of the arrows go in the same direction. All the arrows change, including the ones on the list items already expanded. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
Here's my new Javascript:
$("#Names .airports").hide();
$("#Names .close").hide();
$('#Expand').click(function(){
$('h2').children(".close").toggle();
$('h2').children(".arrow-down").toggle();
if($(this).text() == 'Hide All Cities')
{
$(this).text('Show All Cities');
$('#Names .airports').slideUp('fast');
}
else
{
$(this).text('Hide All Cities');
$('#Names .airports').slideDown('fast');
}
});
$("#Names h2").addClass("state").click(function() {
$(this).parent().children(".airports").slideToggle('fast')
$(this).children(".close").toggle();
$(this).children(".arrow-down").toggle();
Here's the fiddle illustrating the remaining problem:
http://jsfiddle.net/d3pxx8ds/127/
Thanks in advance
Here's my old JavaScript (reference only now):
$(function() {
$('li.state').prepend('<img src="http://png-4.findicons.com/files/icons/2227/picol/32/arrow_sans_up_32.png" class="arrow"/>');});
$('.stateNames ul').hide();
$('.stateNames li').click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
$(this).find('ul').toggle();
var value = 0
$(".arrow").rotate({
bind:
{
click: function(){
value +=180;
$(this).rotate(value)
}
}
});
});

All i did was replace the order, i moved the .rotate to happen before the .toggle functions this would read the rotate first and subsequently do the toggle function thus setting the variable to 180 instead of waiting for the toggle to start, not allowing the variable to be set
$(function() {
$('li.state').prepend('<img src="http://png-4.findicons.com/files/icons/2227/picol/32/arrow_sans_up_32.png" class="arrow"/>');
});
$('.stateNames ul').hide();
var value = 0
$(".arrow").rotate({
bind : {
click : function() {
value += 180;
$(this).rotate(value)
}
}
});
$('.stateNames li').click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
$(this).find('ul').toggle();
});

$(function() {
$('li.state').prepend('<img src="http://png-4.findicons.com/files/icons/2227/picol/32/arrow_sans_up_32.png" class="arrow"/>');
});
$('.stateNames ul').hide();
var value = 0
$(".arrow").rotate({
bind:
{
click: function(){
value +=180;
$(this).rotate(value)
if (value==180){
value=360;
}
else{
value=180;
}
}
}
});
$('.stateNames li').click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
$(this).find('ul').toggle();
});
I added the if statement and it works for one full go around but on the next toggle the arrow doesn't rotate hope that helps for now i will keep looking in to it

a second click to close a toggle div

I’m using the following jQuery for hiding and showing content (toggle), as a tree navigation menu in my website. I found this code extremely useful because by clicking, it displays only one div at a time.
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function show_region(chosen_region) {
$('.city_div').each(function(index) {
if ($(this).attr("id") == chosen_region) {
$(this).slideDown(200);
}
else {
$(this).slideUp(600);
}
});
}
</script>
<style type="text/css">
.city_div {display: none;}
</style>
North<br>
<div class="city_div" id="box01">Div #01</div>
Centre<br>
<div class="city_div" id="box02">Div #02</div>
South<br>
<div class="city_div" id="box03">Div #03</div>
The problem is that I can close a div only by opening another div.
How to close the div by a second click on it?

You can use slideToggle, change from slideDown to slideToggle:
function show_region(chosen_region) {
$('.city_div').each(function(index) {
if ($(this).attr("id") == chosen_region) {
$(this).slideToggle(200); // instead of slideDown
}
else {
$(this).slideUp(600);
}
});
}

First of all, don't use inline event handlers.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var boxes = $('.city_div');
$('.city-toggle').click(function(e) {
var box = $(this).next();
var isHidden = box.is(':hidden');
boxes.slideUp(600);
if(isHidden) {
box.slideDown(200);
}
e.preventDefault();
});
});
</script>
<style type="text/css">
.city_div {display: none;}
</style>
North
<div class="city_div" id="box01">Div #01</div>
Centre
<div class="city_div" id="box02">Div #02</div>
South
<div class="city_div" id="box03">Div #03</div>
Also, if your links don't go anywhere meaningful, use # as the href and make sure the boxes are visible by default. (Hide them using boxes.hide(); right at the start.)
Also also, <br> isn't what you should use there. <div>s are already block-level elements. If you want more padding, give them a top margin.

try this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.city_div').click(function(){
$(this).hide(); //or whatever code you want to hide it
});
});
that way when you click on a div, it will hide it.

Since you are using jQuery you could try using the jQuery.toggle function.
function show_region(chosen_region) {
$('#' + chosen_region).toggle('slide');
return false;
}

Keep track of the div you have clicked last:
var globalLastClickedButtonId;
$("div.city_div").click(function() {
if (globalLastClickedButtonId == $(this).attr("id")) {
$(this).hide();
} else {
var box = $(this).next().next();
var clickedId = $(this).attr("id");
$("div.city_div").each(function() {
if ($(this).attr("id") == clickedId)
box.slideDown(200);
else
box.slideUp(600);
}
}
globalLastClickedButtonId = $(this).attr("id");
});

First, why are you using such an old version of jQuery?
Second, your JavaScript can be simplified. jQuery works on sets; you don't need the .each, or loops.
Here is a working example: http://jsfiddle.net/gibble/25P9z/
Simplified HTML:
North<br>
<div class="city_div" id="box01">Div #01</div>
Centre<br>
<div class="city_div" id="box02">Div #02</div>
South<br>
<div class="city_div" id="box03">Div #03</div>​
New JavaScript:
function show_region(e) {
var $target = $(e.target);
var chosen_region = $target.attr('data-contentDiv');
var openDiv = $('#' + chosen_region);
openDiv.slideDown(200);
$('.city_div').not(openDiv).slideUp(600);
}
Last, attach events, don't inline them in your HTML.
$('a[data-contentDiv]').click(show_region);​

Because you are using an animation it is best to keep track of the div that is currently shown. If you don't, then you will start to see multiple divs showing if you click links in quick succession.
You can use this:
$(function() {
$("a").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var selectedDiv = $("#" + $(this).attr("href"));
var hide = selectedDiv.data("shown");
$(".city_div").slideUp(600);
$(".city_div").data("shown", false);
if (hide) {
selectedDiv.data("shown", false);
}
else {
selectedDiv.data("shown", true);
selectedDiv.slideDown(200);
}
});
});​
Here is a working example

You should keep a variable with your old chosen region name
<script type="text/javascript">
var old_chosen_region="";
function show_region(chosen_region) {
$('.city_div').each(function(index) {
if (($(this).attr("id") == chosen_region)&&(chosen_region!=old_chosen_region)) {
$(this).slideDown(200);
old_chosen_region=chosen_region;
} else {
$(this).slideUp(600);
}
}
old_chosen_region='';
});
</script>
This allows you to 'remember' which region you chose last and, if the chosen one equals the last you close it.
You should set old_chosen_region='' in the end to let the tab reopen.

jQuery menu with click to show and hide on mouseleave

At the moment it shows the divs instead of hiding them and on click it hides just so you can see the movement. Should be .show instead of .hide. On clicking the link, li should slide down and on mouseleave slide back up.
Working example http://jsfiddle.net/DTqDD/3/
jQuery:
$(function() {
var toggleMenu = function(e) {
var self = $(this),
elemType = self[0].tagName.toLowerCase(),
//get caller
menu = null;
if (elemType === 'a') {
//anchor clicked, nav back to containing ul
menu = self.parents('ul').not('ul#mainmenu');
} else if (elemType === 'ul') {
//mouseleft ul, ergo menu is this.
menu = self;
}
if (menu) {
menu.hide('medium');
}
e.preventDefault();
return false;
};
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.drop').click(function(e) {
$('li#mainmenudrop').show('medium');
console.log('div clicked');
e.preventDefault();
return false;
});
$('li#mainmenudrop a').click(toggleMenu);
$('li#mainmenudrop').mouseleave(toggleMenu);
});
});

On li tags change id="mainmenudrop" to class="mainmenudrop" since it ain't valid HTML. Then use the following jQuery code.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.drop').click(function(e) {
$(this).next("div").show('medium');
console.log('div clicked');
e.preventDefault();
return false;
});
$('li.mainmenudrop').mouseleave(function() {
$(this).children("div").hide('medium');
});
});​
Could this possibly be what you are trying to accomplish?
EDIT:
If you want the divs hidden at the beginning, just add this CSS:
.mainmenudrop div {
display: none;
}

Help needed Pausing/Resuming FadeIn and FadeOut

Hopefully this is a simple request. I found this code that will work perfectly for what I want to do (Rotate through list items while fading in and out) http://jsfiddle.net/gaby/S5Cjm/1/ . However, I am looking to have the animation pause on mouse over and resume on mouse out. I am a novice at the moment with Javascript and JQuery, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
EDIT: Side questions: Is there a benefit to using JQuery to do this? Would a stand alone script be more appropriate?

I attached the hover event to your list items. The over function stops the animation and all following animations using jQuery.stop(true). The out function resumes the animation:
http://jsfiddle.net/US4Fc/1/
var duration = 1000
function InOut(elem) {
elem.delay(duration).fadeIn(duration).delay(duration).fadeOut(
function() {
if (elem.next().length > 0) {
InOut(elem.next());
}
else {
InOut(elem.siblings(':first'));
}
});
}
$(function() {
$('#content li').hide().hover(
function() {
$(this).stop(true)
},
function() {
var curOp = Number($(this).css("opacity"));
$(this).fadeTo(duration*(1-curOp), 1, function() {
InOut($(this))
});
}
);
InOut($('#content li:first'));
});

Will this work for you?
$(function(){
var active;
$('#content li').hide().hover(
function(){
active = $(this).stop();
},
function(){
active && InOut(active);
}
);
InOut( $('#content li:first') );
});
