I am using parallax.js to animate a series of elements on a homepage. I searched for code that would allow me to add a simple "slider" effect to the elements as well.
Everything seems to be working properly, except that after the first li, the parallax effect only works horizontally. On li #1, the element hovers as expected, following the mouse in every direction.
Here's a link to jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/sdeviva/t6uwq/1/
Here's a link to the revised jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/sdeviva/t6uwq/5/
var scene = document.getElementById('scene');
var parallax = new Parallax(scene);
var scene = document.getElementById('scene2');
var parallax = new Parallax(scene2);
(function($) {
$.fn.ezslide = function ( options ) {
var defaults = {
fadeIn : 1000,
fadeOut : 1000,
delay : 500
},
settings = $.extend( defaults, options ),
$this = this,
cur = 0,
fadeIt = function( which ) {
var li = $this.find('li');
cur = which = (which >= li.length) ? 0 : which;
li.fadeOut( settings.fadeOut );
li.eq( which )
.delay( settings.fadeOut )
.fadeIn( settings.fadeIn, function(){
setTimeout(function() {
cur++;
fadeIt( cur );
}, settings.delay);
});
};
fadeIt( cur );
};
$('ul.scene').ezslide({
fadeIn : 600,
fadeOut : 600,
delay : 3000
});
})(jQuery);
EDIT: I sort of fixed this. I don't really know what I'm doing, so there's probably a cleaner way. But, I realized that the parallax effect was only being applied once to the first list item. The script that makes each item fade in wasn't getting the benefit of the parallax.js script.
SO - I put each fading element into its own ul, with a unique id, and a shared class. By some miracle, this actually works. But let me know if there's a better way.
This is an interesting one. The issue is that the parallax code sets the very first layer to position: relative and all others to position: absolute. This has the effect of making the parent ul have the dimensions of only the first layer. This is normally fine, except that when you display any element other than the first, the first is hidden. This causes the ul to have 0 height. The parallax depends on the height of the scene, as a result no height means no vertical movement.
You can fix the issue by applying a fixed height to your ul:
#scene{
height: 128px;
}

You can find greater detail on the motion calculation in the documentation on github.

I have a fixed .widget element that remains visible at all times. Currently however, it scrolls over the footer area. My goal is to stop the widget before it hits the footer.
CSS
.widget {
position:fixed;
height:450px;
width:300px;
}
footer {
height:450px;
width:100%;
}
My route I'm taking is currently:
jQuery
var $bodyheight = $('body').height();
var $footerheight = $('footer').height();
var $widgetheight = $('.game_widget').height();
var $pageheight = $bodyheight - $footerheight - $widgetheight;
$(window).on('scroll', function() {
console.log($(this).scrollTop())
});
My next step would be to loop through to see if scrollTop > $pageheight then update some CSS.
Is this the best way of going about this? Is there a cleaner/simpler way to achieve the same result?
I have managed to solve this quite simply. Inside the scroll function I set 2 variables, one for the position of the fixed element, the other for the position of the footer. These return the exact value from how far the top of the element is from the top of the page. For the fixed element I need to know the distance to the bottom of this element so I also include the height.
var $fixedpos = $(".game_widget").offset().top + $('.game_widget').height();
var $footerpos = $("footer").offset().top - 25; // 25 accounts for margin
Using a simple if/else the CSS is updated to display none/initial depending on whether $fixedpos > $footerpos (i.e. the fixed element is overlapping the footer).
if ($fixedpos > $footerpos) {
$('.game_widget').css('display','none');
} else {
$('.game_widget').css('display','initial');
}
This works, however there is a 'flicking' effect as the fixed element overlaps the footer. This is due to the function executing extremely rapidly. The solution to the flicker is to use this simple 'throttling' plugin that adds a short delay (of your choice) between each execution of a function - http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-throttle-debounce-plugin/
You then just need to bind the on scroll function to the throttle:
function scrolling() {
console.log($(".game_widget").offset().top + $('.game_widget').height());
console.log($("footer").offset().top - 25);
var $fixedpos = $(".game_widget").offset().top + $('.game_widget').height();
var $footerpos = $("footer").offset().top - 25;
if ($fixedpos > $footerpos) {
$('.game_widget').css('display', 'none');
} else {
$('.game_widget').css('display', 'initial');
}
};
$(window).on('scroll', $.throttle(250, scrolling)); // 250ms between executing the function
});
This 250ms delay stops the function from executing so rapidly that the flickering effect occurs.
Hope this helps others trying to solve this problem.
I have three divs and i am trying to show/hide div2 when we click on any div. So far i have succeeded in it but now i want to implement some animation while show.hide the div.
I tried a lot and read many solution but due to i am new to jQuery i cant do it. Here is my code that i tried before animation
http://jsfiddle.net/9Lw6T/119/
$(".more , .expander,.headingopen").click(function() {
var expanderDiv = $(this).parents(".content_item").find(".textContent");
if ($(expanderDiv).length > 0 && $(expanderDiv).hasClass("expander") ) {
$(expanderDiv).removeClass("expander");
var MoreDiv = $(this).parents(".content_item").find(".more");
$(MoreDiv).html("Mindre");
}
else {
console.log("addclass");
$(expanderDiv).addClass("expander new");
var MoreDiv = $(this).parents(".content_item").find(".more");
$(MoreDiv).html("More");
}
});
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery(".more , .expander,.headingopen").click(function() {
jQuery('.expander').slideToggle("slow");
});
});
After Animation or slidetoggle
http://jsfiddle.net/9Lw6T/123/
Is there any way to animate the divs and stop at certain height while slideup as before animation i have done it in my first try without animate. Slidedown needs auto hide and its working with this code.
Thanks
There is an issue when using jQuery animate going to auto so you have to do a little work around (see: JavaScript jQuery Animate to Auto Height)
// get the current height
var curHeight = $textArea.height();
// set set the css to auto height and get how tall it is
var autoHeight = $textArea.css('height', 'auto').height();
// set the css back to the original height, then animate to the new height
$textArea.height(curHeight).animate({height: autoHeight}, 1000);
Here it is all together

The site in question is this one:
http://www.pickmixmagazine.com/wordpress/
When you click on one of the posts (any of the boxes) an iframe will slide down from the top with the content in it. Once the "Home" button in the top left hand corner of the iframe is clicked, the iframe slides back up. This works perfectly the first 2 times, on the 3rd click on of a post, the content will slide down, but when the home button is clicked, the content slides back up normally but once it has slid all the way up to the position it should be in, the iframe drops straight back down to where it was before the home button was clicked, I click it again and then it works.
Here is the code I've used for both sliding up and sliding down functions:
/* slide down function */
var $div = $('iframe.primary');
var height = $div.height();
var width = parseInt($div.width());
$div.css({ height : height });
$div.css('top', -($div.width()));
$('.post').click(function () {
$('iframe.primary').load(function(){
$div.animate({ top: 0 }, { duration: 1000 });
})
return false;
});
/* slide Up function */
var elm = parent.document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0];
var jelm = $(elm);//convert to jQuery Element
var htmlElm = jelm[0];//convert to HTML Element
$('.homebtn').click(function(){
$(elm).animate({ top: -height }, { duration: 1000 });
return false;
})
Have you considered using Ajax, like load(), ready() in jquery to control them better?
I am also not sure what you are trying to do with this.
var height = $div.height();
$div.css({ height : height });
may be you want to get the height of the current window? Where you can get it this way
var $dDiv = $('iframe.primary');
var innerH = window.innerHeight;
$dDiv.height(innerH);
Also try avoiding naming your custom var with default names like height, width, div, etc... You will confuse yourself and make debugging a pain.
I am using zepto library for my mobile web site. I have recently learnt that zepto does not have slideDown() plugin like jquery. I would like to implement the same for zepto.
I have tried one on jsfiddle (http://jsfiddle.net/goje87/keHMp/1/). Here it does not animate while showing the element. It just flashes down. How do I bring in the animation?
PS: I cannot provide a fixed height because I would be applying this plugin to the elements whose height property would not be known.
Thanks in advace!!
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/6zkSX/5
JavaScript:
(function ($) {
$.fn.slideDown = function (duration) {
// get old position to restore it then
var position = this.css('position');
// show element if it is hidden (it is needed if display is none)
this.show();
// place it so it displays as usually but hidden
this.css({
position: 'absolute',
visibility: 'hidden'
});
// get naturally height
var height = this.height();
// set initial css for animation
this.css({
position: position,
visibility: 'visible',
overflow: 'hidden',
height: 0
});
// animate to gotten height
this.animate({
height: height
}, duration);
};
})(Zepto);
$(function () {
$('.slide-trigger').on('click', function () {
$('.slide').slideDown(2000);
});
});
This worked for me:
https://github.com/Ilycite/zepto-slide-transition
The Zepto Slide Transition plugin add to Zepto.js the functions bellow :
slideDown();
slideUp();
slideToggle();
Speransky's answer was helpful, and I'm offering a simplified alternative for a common drop-down navigation list, and separated into slideUp and slideDown on jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/kUG3U/1/
$.fn.slideDown = function (duration) {
// show element if it is hidden (it is needed if display is none)
this.show();
// get naturally height
var height = this.height();
// set initial css for animation
this.css({
height: 0
});
// animate to gotten height
this.animate({
height: height
}, duration);
};
This would work for what you need:

I want to scroll a news article list up and down depending on which buttons is clicked
I wanted to adapt this way of animating if possible:
function smoothAdd(id, text)
{
var el = $('#scroller' + id);
var h = el.height();
el.css({
height: h,
overflow: 'hidden'
});
var ulPaddingTop = parseInt(el.css('padding-top'));
var ulPaddingBottom = parseInt(el.css('padding-bottom'));
el.prepend('<li>' + text + '</li>');
var first = $('li:first', el);
var last = $('li:last', el);
var foh = first.outerHeight();
var heightDiff = foh - last.outerHeight();
var oldMarginTop = first.css('margin-top');
first.css({
marginTop: 0 - foh,
position: 'relative',
top: 0 - ulPaddingTop
});
last.css('position', 'relative');
el.animate({ height: h + heightDiff }, 1500)
first.animate({ top: 0 }, 250, function() {
first.animate({ marginTop: oldMarginTop }, 1000, function() {
last.animate({ top: ulPaddingBottom }, 250, function() {
last.remove();
el.css({
height: 'auto',
overflow: 'visible'
});
});
});
});
}
$('.scrollUp').click(function() {
smoothAdd('scrollUp', 'A new item');
});
Example here: http://www.fiveminuteargument.com/blog/scrolling-list
My HTML looks like this:
<ul id="scroller">
<li class="current"><span>/</span>News Article Title</li>
<li><span>/</span>News Article Title 2</li>
<li><span>/</span>News Article Title 3</li>
</ul>
<div class="btnWrap"><p>Scroll Up
Scroll Up</p></div>
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Basically maintain the animation style but keep it as a defined UL as per a normal carousel.
Here : http://jsfiddle.net/sDedY/13/
I've written form scratch. as you notice I've added css directly in a css file, it's better than adding css via jquery, especially for future mainenance/ decorateion etc.., but I havent spent much time for different caluclations. This is a blueprint I guess, you can modify and make it much better, like make top and bottom combined to make the function small or things like that, i jsut dont have time anymore ... so again : redo the calculations based on css yourself and modify it !
EDIT : regarding variable height, you need to keep in mind that I haven't finalised the whole function. next step in coding this function would be auto-calculation of margin-top and top rather than manually entering them, which is pretty easy. all that's needed is to pass a variable to get the position and dimensions of li elements and then pass them to our code.
I've change a few lines of your code:
var el = $('#scroller' + id); to var el = $('#' + id);
and
smoothAdd('scrollUp', 'A new item'); to smoothAdd('scroller', 'A new item');
see http://jsfiddle.net/nCWAP/
I made a slightly simpler solution. Check it out here
You don't need to mess with absolute or relative position neither with top. The list has height as auto so it grows/shrinks according to the height of their li elements
EDIT
Now the height is automatically adjusted to show all items.
Also supports li elements of any height.
