Exact Same Script Works On One Page But Not Another - javascript

I am building an iOS7 WebApp with a template that I found here:
http://c2prods.com/2013/cloning-the-ui-of-ios-7-with-html-css-and-javascript/
I have written some JavaScript/jQuery that fades a picture out and fades a toolbar in, toolbar first. I have a blank test page where I tested the script. It works perfectly. Then I copy and paste the EXACT SAME code into the real page and the jQuery never seems to load for whatever reason. It gives me an error saying the following:
Uncaught TypeError: Object # has no method 'fadeOut'
The fading is supposed to occur after 3 seconds. The idea is that this is a splash screen.
Here is my JS/jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
fadeAwaySplash();
navFadeIn();
//Insert More Functions Here
});
function fadeAwaySplash() {
//setTimeout(function() {
$("#splash-screen").fadeOut();
//}, 3000);
}
function navFadeIn(){
setTimeout(function() {
$("nav").fadeIn();
}, 3000);
}
Here is my CSS:
nav {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 49px;
text-align: center;
background-color: rgba(248, 248, 248, 0.9);
background-image: linear-gradient(180deg, rgb(200, 199, 204), rgb(200, 199, 204) 50%, transparent 50%);
background-size: 100% 1px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top center;
z-index: 100;
display: none;
}
#splash-screen {
position: absolute;
z-index: 999999;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
min-width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
}
Here is my HTML:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.1.min.js"></script>
<img src="/img/ipadSplash.png" id="splash-screen">
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Emanuel

Great! scragar's answer worked! All I had to do is replace the $'s with "jQuery" (without the quotation marks). Although I had to replace the setTimeout with .delay(3000) Thanks!

Wordpress page lagging

Im currently in the process of fixing a wordpress site for a client, unfortunately I am having tons of issues with scrolling on one of the pages. I have tried time and time again to remove any scroll assist js that could be causing it but I still cant seem to get it to work.
Here is the URL for the page giving me trouble: http://www.bombaygrilloh.com/home/menu/
Any help is greatly appreciated!
You issue is background-attachment
Chris Ruppel writes:
[...] using background-attachment: fixed causes a paint operation every time the user scrolls. Why? Well, the page has to reposition the content, and then, since its background image is supposed to appear as if it’s holding still, the browser has to repaint that image in a new location relative to its actual DOM elements. The performance for this feature is so bad that iOS simply ignores this property.
The culprit is your header background image.
it is fixed and is consistently getting repainted on scroll behind your page content.
In you CSS file you have this
.section-parallax {
background-attachment: fixed;
}
If you remove that then you smooth scrolling without trouble but you loose the parallax effect.
If you must have the parallax effect then you need to either use a more efficent method for the effect or hack your way to it.
for more efficiency use jQuery. I found a pen by Marcel Schulz and copied it below for reference:
/*
See https://codepen.io/MarcelSchulz/full/lCvwq
The effect doens't appear as nice when viewing in split view :-)
Fully working version can also be found at (http://schulzmarcel.de/x/drafts/parallax).

In the same article I quoted above, there is a tutorial for how to fix the issue with CSS. Instead of using background-attachment: fixed you add the background to a pseudo-element and give it postion fixed like so
.element {
position: relative;
}
.elemnt:before {
content: ' ';
position: fixed; /* instead of background-attachment */
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background-color: white;
background: url('/img/front/strategy.jpg') no-repeat center center;
background-size: cover;
will-change: transform; /* creates a new paint layer */
z-index: -1;
}
And this will essentially limit the impact on scrolling as the "background" would have it's own independent element.
Note: If you run into issues which you cannot debug, open the dev tools and start deleting elements from the page one by one until you find the issue.

From looking at your site, there are a few parts of it that are slowing down the rest. Here are a few easy ways to speed it up.
Use a CDN
A CDN (Content Distribution Network) ensures that everything is loaded faster because it doesn't depend on your own Wordpress server and will allow access times to be consistent across the world. There are a few good ones out there like CloudFlare and Incapsula. Here is an article listing a few more.
In addition, you can host your images (I see that one is coming from Wikipedia) on a slightly faster
Compress images
This step is as easy as converting photos to a .jpg. JPEG automatically compresses the data by getting rid of unnecessary information in the photos. You can also use compression software to get the file size down.
Leverage caching
Use a caching plugin (there are tons of great ones for Wordpress) to cache data on your server and can really speed up things for your site.
Search for more ways to optimize
Use tools like Pingdom and Google PageSpeed Insights to identify bottlenecks and resolve them.
Hope this helps you!

Blacken out screen while a request is being processed

I have some controls on a page with some buttons. When a button is clicked, a request is made to the server, and on receiving the response, the button text updates (On/Off). The way I have it now, is that the button when clicked, remains active and the user is able to click it multiple times. But this causes the requests to pile up one after the other without being executed, which ultimately freezes or slows down the page and also the server. I want the screen to blacken out on the initial button click and remain so till the request is over with some result and only after that the user gets to click the buttons again. How do I incorporate something like a modal window in this case with the message that the request is being processed?
Help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Yes recently i have this type of issue.To fixed this you need to add a loader which will show at time of processing of Ajax
Add this in a your page:-
<div id="blockDiv" class="hide">
<div class="" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border: 3px solid rgb(170, 170, 170); width: 100%; height: 100%; position: fixed; top: 0%; background: rgb(20, 14, 51) none repeat scroll 0% 0%; opacity: 0.5; z-index: 1004; cursor: wait; right: 0px;"></div>
<div class="blockUI blockMsg blockPage " style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; top: 50%; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border: 3px solid rgb(170, 170, 170); font-weight: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 20px; left: 35%; text-align: center; z-index: 999999 ! important; position: fixed; width: 30%;"><img src="http://deepakkit.xtgem.com/files/loading.gifjsessionidURgz41CHGWcq8M1BI6qdZQ.gif" style="height:25px;">Just a moment</div>
</div>
Add this css:-
.hide{
display: none;
}
In Ajax add:-
beforeSend : function() {
$('#blockDiv').removeClass('hide');
},
complete: function () {
$('#blockDiv').addClass('hide');
},
Then our issue will be fixed.
Like i said in my comment, you could create an absolute overlay div, hidden by default.
Then show it on beforeSend: Ajax option and hide it on .always() event.
Check the example below:
$(function() {
$.ajax({
beforeSend: function() {
$('.overlay').fadeIn();
}
//if using jQuery < 3.0, remove always and use this
//,complete: function() {
// $('.overlay').fadeOut();
//}
}).always(function() {
alert('I have finished!');
$('.overlay').fadeOut();
});
});
.overlay {
display: none;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
left: 0;
right: 0;
position: absolute;
z-index: 999;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.65);
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div>
<div class="overlay"></div>
</div>

Jerky/flickering background image on scroll on Webkit and Edge (jQuery and vanillaJS)

I am using jQuery to make a background image appear fixed (since background-attachment: fixed doesn't play nicely with background-size: cover). In some environments the image doesn't flicker but in others it does, and I can't figure out why. (A related but different question is here, but I'm not using parallax scrolling.)
It doesn't flicker here and on this fiddle:
$(window).scroll(function() {
var scrolledY = $(window).scrollTop();
$('#bg').css('background-position', 'left ' + scrolledY + 'px');
});
body {
height: 3000px;
margin: 0;
}
#bg-wrap {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}
#bg {
height: 600px;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-image: url('http://classicescapes.businesscatalyst.com/Images/home-banner/CAPE_RT_desat.jpg');
background-position: left top;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover!important;
}
#bg-text {
position: absolute;
top: 200px;
left: 47%;
font-size: 3rem;
color: #fff;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="bg-wrap">
<div id="bg">
</div>
<div id="bg-text">Hello!</div>
It flickers here when using Webkit and Edge browsers (but doesn't flicker on IE and Firefox).
Over here it flickers until one initializes a Google Map by clicking on the "Region Map" tab.
Any help as to understanding the cause and providing a possible fix would be greatly appreciated.
Try using:
transform-style:flat
on the css rule of the flickering image
or
html{
overflow: hidden;
height: 100%;
}
body{
overflow: auto;
height: 100%;
}
While I still don't know what is causing the issue on the test page, I fixed my original problem by removing a rogue CSS transform!

How do I load jQuery background-check plugin?

I was trying to use the jQuery background check plugin(http://www.kennethcachia.com/background-check/) but for some reason it doesn't seem to be working ?
Here is jsfiddle link https://jsfiddle.net/n9o5jy4t/
BackgroundCheck.init({
targets: '.checkbg'
});
#header_img_over {
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
background: rgba(28, 28, 34, 0.9);
filter: blur(20px);
z-index: 2;
}
.header_bg {
z-index: -10;
position: absolute;
overflow: hidden;
height: 245px;
min-height: 245px;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.header_bg img {
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
min-height: 300px;
}
/* The Background _Checked */
.checkbg.background--dark {
color: white;
}
<div id="blog_title">
<h2 class="checkbg">Test_title</h2>
</div>
<div id="header_img_over">
<div class="header_bg">
<img src="http://stylrs.com/v05/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ML_Guildhall_TBL_0009-767x415.jpg">
</div>
</div>
I couldn't get it working into a Fiddle due cross origin problems, which made me give it a try into my server.
It seems you are forced by background-check script to have your images placed in the same server as the webpage. Here are two examples: the working one and the failing one.
As you can see on source, they are exactly the same but for the image url.
Hope it helps to lead a way to solve the issue :)

Scroll to top script - div won't hide when on top

I'm working on this website called http://martindue.dk/mmd3x9x/ and I have this scroll to top script that just won't coorporate. I've used the script on many other sites, and it works fine, but on this particular website the div#to-top keeps on re-appearing, even though I'm at the very top of the website, why won't it fade out correctly when at the top?
My code looks like this (the #to-top is insertted after the body-tag in my html):
Javascript
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$toTop = jQuery("#to-top");
$toTop.hide();
jQuery(window).scroll(function() {
if(jQuery(this).scrollTop() != 0) {
$toTop.fadeIn();
} else {
$toTop.fadeOut();
}
});
$toTop.click(function() {
jQuery("body, html").animate({ scrollTop : 0 }, 500);
return false;
});
});
CSS
#to-top {
background: url("img/to-top.png") center top no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
position: fixed;
bottom: 60px;
right: 60px;
cursor: pointer;
/*display:none;*/
/*opacity: 0.0;*/
}
I created this fiddle, and here it works fine: http://jsfiddle.net/2Rubp/
I know it is not js but in this case you are only using fading so css can do the trick:
#to-top {
background: url("img/to-top.png") center top no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
position: fixed;
bottom: 60px;
right: 60px;
cursor: pointer;
**-webkit-transition: all 0.5s linear;**
display: none;
opacity: 0.0;
}
NB: this is for chrome see this for cross browser compatibility
