I am trying to use this slider: http://codepen.io/zuraizm/pen/vGDHl
I need to have multiple sliders on the page, up to 10 maybe more. It is for a property listings page, and this is a really light slider.
Currently when you press next, it slides the images for every slider. I know its an ID issue, but is there a simple way to fix this without having to have tens of different id's?
UPDATE!
This is my updated pen, with the sliders working: http://codepen.io/LukeD1uk/pen/LEKBa But it appears each slider is loading the last LI in UL
I was thinking something like this...
function moveRight(slider) {
slider = $(slider);
slider.find('ul').animate({
left: - slideWidth
}, 200, function () {
slider.find('ul li:first-child').appendTo(slider.find('ul'));
slider.find('ul').css('left', '');
});
};
$('a.control_next').click(function () {
moveRight($(this).parent());
});
Makes it so that the only global selection is a.control_next and then the rest are scoped to where the click actually happened.
EDIT: There are some additional issues with selecting more than you want. Here's another fixed spot.
This
$('#slider ul li:last-child').prependTo('#slider ul');
Becomes this
$('.slider').each(function(slider){
slider = $(slider);
slider.find('ul li:last-child').prependTo(slider.find('ul'));
});
This takes the last image in each slider and prepends it to the list so the back button will work. You will run into additional issues if the picture width/height/count differ or if you choose to implement the checkbox autoscroll.
To fix those though you would need to implement a much better structure in the js so that each slider has it's own variables. I don't really have the time to go through and set that up, sorry.

I'm trying to get rid of all of the issues reported by the Google Chrome Lighthouse Audit. I'm slowly progressing but I have a problem with 'accessible buttons'.
These buttons are the "dots navigation" from the Owl Carousel 2 library and it seems that they are not really accessible. This is the Lighthouse info:
When a button doesn't have an accessible name, screen readers announce it as "button", making it unusable for users who rely on screen readers.
Failing Elements
button.owl-dot.active
button.owl-dot
I can not really manipulate the code responsible for generating the dots-navbar and I'm wondering, what'd be the best approach in this case. I need to add the name attribute with the "Previous" and "Next" values I guess but should I add that attribute with JS ? Have You guys encountered such an issue with Owl 2 ? If so - please let me know because maybe there is another, better way to do that.
Best Regards,
Since it's a jQuery plugin I'd just use jQuery in the onInitialized and onResized callbacks to add offscreen text nodes to the buttons:
<style>
.offscreen {
position: absolute;
left: -999em;
}
</style>
<button><span></span><span class="offscreen">Go to slide 3</span></button>
<!-- the first span is there by default -->
That might look something like this:
let owl = $('.owl-carousel').owlCarousel({
// ...,
onInitialized: addDotButtonText,
onResized: addDotButtonText
});
function addDotButtonText() {
// loop through each dot element
$('.owl-dot').each(function() {
// remove old text nodes
$(this).find('.offscreen').remove();
// grab its (zero-based) order in the series
let idx = $(this).index() + 1;
// append a span to the button containing descriptive text
$(this).append('<span class="offscreen">Go to slide ' + idx + '</span>');
});
}
Fiddle demo
If you feel like the dots simply aren't useful to screen reader users, and are ok with them having only the previous and next buttons (which are already accessible) for navigation, you could effectively hide the dots to them in the callback and reduce unnecessary distraction:
$('.owl-dots').attr('aria-hidden', 'true');
This is probably a debatable strategy as we should strive to offer the same level of interaction to all users. However, since screen reader users may not have a use for slider controls to begin with, since all slides should be readable at all times, it's maybe not an issue at all.
I have a test page to better explain my problem. I have several items on a list (they're images on the test page); when I click on one of them, a corresponding slideshow, using flexslider, sldes down.
The problem is that, on page load, the slideshow shows all slides at once, at a much smaller size than intended. But then, if I switch the focus from the window (i.e. switch between browser tabs or move to another program and come back), the slideshow is now working and the slides are the proper size. This happens in mobile devices too.
When I check with firebug, there's an element.style rule applying to ul.slides:
transform: translate3d(-89px, 0px, 0px);
Which hides one of the slides. Additionally, there's another rule for the list items inside ul.slides that gives them their initial width, which is not even the same for all sliders so I don't understand where it is coming from.
Can someone take a look and suggest a fix? I've tried overriding the element.style rule but so far unsuccessfully.
I think I've figured it out, in principal at least...
.flexslider{display:none;} seems throw off the re-size function of Flexslider.
You could just remove it, but that makes for some ugly loading.
To avoid said ugly loading I put together a quick, work-around- jsFiddle
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".flexslider").css('display','block').slideUp();
});
There's a still a quick glitch while loading, but hopefully it will at least steer you in the right direction.
Another method I played with a bit was to try and force the re-size function like so-
$(".client").click(function () {
$('.flexslider').resize(); // Problematic but promising
var project = this.id;
var project_id = '#' + project + '-project';
var elem = $(".flexslider:visible").length ? $(".flexslider:visible"): $(".flexslider:first");
elem.slideUp('slow', function () {
$(project_id).slideDown('slow');
});
});
This sort of solved the mini-picture issue, but was spotty at best.
I'm trying to make an image carousel/slider that automatically scrolls smoothly and loops using jQuery. Here's the function I'm using:
function spinCarousel() {
$("ul li:first-child").animate({ marginLeft: -200 }, 3000, 'linear', function () {
$("ul li:first-child").appendTo('ul');
$("ul li:last-child").css('margin-Left', 0);
spinCarousel();
});
}
And here's an illustration: https://jsfiddle.net/T_Recks/aa43n7g0/
I tried adding it to a local development site (replacing the text and colored backgrounds with images) and it seems to work nicely. However, I'd like to make a version that scrolls right instead of left, but haven't been able to figure it out. I've tried changing ".append" to ".prepend" and playing with the margin changes, but no luck so far.
Any suggestions?
I forked and retooled your JSFiddle to make it scroll from left to right. Check it out here: https://jsfiddle.net/1jw8xpqe/
Had to change a few things to get it working. First, the list is parsed to reverse the order of the slides and shift a couple of them so the leftmost one is "Item #1" when the slider initializes:
// reverse items
var list = $('ul');
var listItems = list.children('li');
list.append(listItems.get().reverse());
// rearrange last two items so first slide starts on left
list.prepend($('ul li:last-child').prev('li').andSelf());
Then a few CSS/JS tweaks: The slide animates the first li from -200px (defined in the CSS) to 0, and after each cycle, prepends the last item of the ul to the start at -200px. Hope this helps!
I'm very confused with my current webpage: http://armandbakx.nl/ - (adjusted it, I'm not here for self-promotion).
The idea is that I have a couple of images on my page, which are clickable. Once clicked a scrollable container should pop up, showing more information and images.
So far, with the help of some great people here, I've managed to make the JavaScript work. The only problems I'm running into right now are that when I click an image, the entire 'back-page' shifts. I'm not sure what's causing this, and even more unsure how to solve it.
Secondly, when an image is clicked and the scrollable container 'hovers' over the main page, it seems that other images still respond to clicking.. I've already hammered the z-index up to ridiculous amounts but it still does this. I don't think this is a JavaScript issue, but can't fathom what causes this in the css.
Thirdly, when an .img is clicked, and you scroll through the content of the scrollable container, when you click back towards the main page, it often also ends up scrolled upwards or downwards. How do I prevent this from happening?
I hope it's somewhat comprehensible and I hope someone is willing to help me.
I have a codepen here with everything this page runs on at the moment, except for the images.
Codepen
$('img').on('click', show);
$('.overlay').on('click', hide);
function show(){
$('.scroll-container').eq($(this).parent().index()).addClass('show');
$('.content-container').addClass('no-scroll');
$('.overlay').addClass('opacity');
}
function hide() {
$('.scroll-container').removeClass('show');
$('.content-container').removeClass('no-scroll');
$('.overlay').removeClass('opacity');
}
I decided to just answer your third question, and this approach might prevent the other issues as well.
Inside of your show function, make the keep track of the position the browser was in when the content opened. Then, in your hide function, return the browser to that position. This should prevent your boxes from moving around.
Here is an example. I wrapped everything in an immediately-invoked function to prevent the variables from being globals.
(function(){
var currentTop = 0;
$('img').on('click', show);
$('.overlay').on('click', hide);
function show(){
currentTop = $(window).scrollTop();
$('.scroll-container').eq($(this).parent().index()).addClass('show');
$('.content-container').addClass('no-scroll');
$('.overlay').addClass('opacity');
}
function hide() {
$(window).scrollTop(currentTop);
$('.scroll-container').removeClass('show');
$('.content-container').removeClass('no-scroll');
$('.overlay').removeClass('opacity');
}
})();
This is certainly going to be an easy one but I can't get my head around what I am doing wrong...
I am trying to do a hover effect on a UL that affects a link within one of the UL LI's.
My current code looks like this:
$("ul.punchlines").hover(function () {
$(this).find("li a.light-grey-gradient").animate({'width' : '60%','top':'-65px'});
});
$("ul.punchlines").mouseleave(function () {
$(this).find("li a.light-grey-gradient").animate({'width' : '30%','top':'0px'});
});
This technically works as it gives the effect that the base of the element to be scaled remains in place and scales up from the bottom however it does it in two stages, I am trying to get this effect to happen all in one motion so it is a seamless scale and move.
I can do this easily with basic CSS3 transitions but as it is not supported in IE9 I am trying to use jQuery to allow for maximum browser support.
Can anyone offer a little support firstly about how I get the animation to happen in one motion (not staggered) and secondly if this is the right approach? I am new to jquery and only just getting my hands dirty with it :-)
Please see JQuery hover api:
http://api.jquery.com/hover/
also make sure that your "li" have absolute position.
$("ul.punchlines").hover(function () {
$(this).find("li a.light-grey-gradient").animate({'width' : '60%','top':'-65px'});
}, function () {
$(this).find("li a.light-grey-gradient").animate({'width' : '30%','top':'0px'});
});
