I have a list where if you click prev next it goes left and right as shown in this fiddle
HTML
<div>
<span id="prev">prev</span>
<ul id="scrolllist">
<li><img src="http://dummyimage.com/100x100/000000/fff"></li>
<li><img src="http://dummyimage.com/100x100/f33636/fff"></li>
<li><img src="http://dummyimage.com/100x100/0c5b9e/fff"></li>
<li><img src="http://dummyimage.com/100x100/0c9e0c/fff"></li>
</ul>
<span id="next">next</span>
</div>
CSS
div {
float: left;
width: 550px;
}
li {
float: left;
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0 5px;
}
#prev {
cursor: pointer;
float: left;
}
#next {
cursor: pointer;
float: right;
}
JS
$(function () {
$('#prev').click(function () {
var first = $('#scrolllist li:first-child');
$('#scrolllist li').parent().append(first).animate({ "left": "-=50px" }, "slow" );
});
$('#next').click(function () {
var last = $('#scrolllist li:last');
$('#scrolllist li').parent().prepend(last).animate({ "left": "+=50px" }, "slow" );
});
});
This works moves them across as expected however I want to scroll the list items across to get the affect of them going in the clicked direction similar to what can be seen in http://coolcarousels.frebsite.nl/c/58/
What do I need to do to get this working?
The trick to doing it right is to place the images in a hidden container div and then animate that container to the left or right as needed, cloning the first or last img in the list and then appending or prepending depending on the direction.
The img container div must be placed inside another div with an explicit height and width with overflow set to hidden. This prevents the wide img container from being visible to the user.
Here is the HTML:
<div>
<span id="prev">prev</span>
<div class="scroll-container">
<div class="img-container">
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/100x100/000000/fff">
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/100x100/f33636/fff">
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/100x100/0c5b9e/fff">
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/100x100/0c9e0c/fff">
</div>
</div>
<span id="next">next</span>
And the JavaScript:
$(function () {
$('#prev').click(function () {
if(!$('.img-container').is(':animated')) {
var first = $('.img-container img:first-child');
var firstClone = first.clone();
$('.img-container').append(firstClone);
$('.img-container').animate({ "left": "-=110px" }, "slow", function() {
first.remove();
$('.img-container').css("left", "0");
});
}
});
$('#next').click(function () {
if(!$('.img-container').is(':animated')) {
var last = $('.img-container img:last-child');
var lastClone = last.clone();
$('.img-container').css("left", "-110px");
$('.img-container').prepend(lastClone);
$('.img-container').animate({ "left": "0" }, "slow", function() {
last.remove();
});
}
});
});
Note the 'if not animated' check at the beginning of each function. This prevents the user from running the functions again before the animation has completed (which would cause weird errors).

After a long research I found a solution to add a custom scrollbar to a DIV element.
It's called SimpleBar. Docs can be found here.
The HTML structure and JS code is pretty simple:
Working demo
<div class="gallery" data-simplebar data-simplebar-auto-hide="false">
<div class="item"><img src="https://via.placeholder.com/250x150/0000FF" /></div>
<div class="item"><img src="https://via.placeholder.com/350x150/FF0000" /></div>
[...]
</div>
With data-simplebar I can add a custom scrollbar to any DIV.
There is just one thing I couldn't solve.
I want to add prev/next arrows to the scroll element.
The buttons should jump to the prev/next element in the DIV which is next to the left/right side of the div and not yet scrolled (partially) over.
And the JS should work for every slider instance on the site. Like the SimpleBar itself. There is no need for extra code per scroll container.
Is there anything I could use in jQuery?
EDIT: I found this answer and fiddle. I added the code to my example and changed it to left/right. It's not exactly what I need but I thought it could be a starting point. Unfortunately it doesn't work properly.
You can use the following code. Note that the scrolling depends on the viewport, so that once there's no more right width to go to, it won't have more room to move.
const DIRECTION = { PREV: 1, NEXT: 2 };
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.container').each(function (index, containerItem) {
var $gallery = $(containerItem).find('.gallery');
const simpleBar = new SimpleBar($gallery[0], {
autoHide: false,
scrollbarMaxSize: 50
});
var $scroller = $(simpleBar.getScrollElement());
$(containerItem).find('.scrollLeft').on('click', function () {
scroll(DIRECTION.PREV, $scroller);
event.preventDefault(); // prevents anchor jump on click
});
$(containerItem).find('.scrollRight').on('click', function () {
scroll(DIRECTION.NEXT, $scroller);
event.preventDefault();
});
$scroller.scroll(function () {
setButtonsVisibility($scroller);
});
});
});
function scroll(direction, $scroller) {
var $active = $scroller.find('.active');
var $target = direction == DIRECTION.PREV ? $active.prev() : $active.next();
if ($target.length) {
$scroller.animate({
scrollLeft: $target[0].offsetLeft
}, 2000);
$active.removeClass('active');
$target.addClass('active');
}
}
function setButtonsVisibility($scroller) {
var scrollLeft = $scroller.scrollLeft();
isScrollerStart($scroller, scrollLeft);
isScrollerEnd($scroller, scrollLeft);
}
function isScrollerStart($scroller, scrollLeft, $button) {
var $prevButton = $scroller.closest('.container').find('.scrollLeft');
if (scrollLeft == 0) {
$prevButton.css('visibility', 'hidden');
} else {
$prevButton.css('visibility', 'visible');
}
}
function isScrollerEnd($scroller, scrollLeft) {
var $nextButton = $scroller.closest('.container').find('.scrollRight');
var scrollWidth = $scroller[0].scrollWidth; // entire width
var scrollerWidth = $scroller.outerWidth() // visible width
if (scrollLeft >= scrollWidth - scrollerWidth) {
$nextButton.css('visibility', 'hidden');
} else {
$nextButton.css('visibility', 'visible');
}
}

I am modifying some jQuery that shows a div when nav links are hovered.
html:
About
<div class="drop" id="drop-about">
<div class="drop-holder">
<div class="grey-block">
<strong class="title">Sub Nav</strong>
<ul>
more links ...
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
jQuery to show dropdowns:
function initSlideDrops() {
var activeClass = 'drop-active';
var animSpeed = 300;
jQuery('#nav ul li').each(function() {
var item = jQuery(this);
var link = item.find('>a[data-drop^="#"]');
//if (!link.length) return;
// Modifications to add hover events to nav menu
if (!link.length) {
jQuery(this).on('mouseover', function (e) {
jQuery("li").removeClass("drop-active");
jQuery('.drop').each(function () {
jQuery(this).stop().animate({
height: 0
}, animSpeed);
});
});
return;
};
var href = link.data('drop');
var drop = jQuery(href).css({
height: 0
});
if(!drop.length) return;
var dropHolder = drop.find('>.drop-holder');
var close = drop.find('.btn-close');
function showDrop(elem) {
elem.stop().animate({
height: dropHolder.innerHeight()
}, animSpeed, function() {
elem.css({
height: ''
});
});
}
function hideDrop(elem) {
elem.stop().animate({
height: 0
}, animSpeed);
}
link.on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
item.add(drop).toggleClass(activeClass).siblings().removeClass(activeClass);
if(item.hasClass(activeClass)) {
showDrop(drop);
hideDrop(drop.siblings());
} else {
hideDrop(drop);
location.href = link.attr('href');
}
});
close.on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
item.add(drop).removeClass(activeClass);
hideDrop(drop);
});
// Modifications to add hover events to nav menu
link.on('mouseover', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
item.add(drop).toggleClass(activeClass).siblings().removeClass(activeClass);
if (item.hasClass(activeClass)) {
showDrop(drop);
hideDrop(drop.siblings());
} else {
hideDrop(drop);
//location.href = link.attr('href');
}
});
drop.on('mouseleave', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
item.add(drop).removeClass(activeClass);
hideDrop(drop);
});
});
}
This is all working, however the dropdown navigation causes the content to bump down, rather than sliding on top of the site body. I would like the main content to remain where it is, with the navigation showing on top when hovered. I have tried adding z-index during the animate event but could not get it to work. What is the proper way to accomplish this?
Any help is appreciated.
Edit:
SASS:
.drop{
#extend %clearfix;
overflow:hidden;
text-transform:uppercase;
letter-spacing: 1.65px;
.drop-holder{
overflow:hidden;
}
}
Try Adding position:absolute; to .drop-holder. See snippet below.
You will also want to remove overflow:hidden; from .drop.
.drop{
#extend %clearfix;
/* overflow:hidden; - Remove this */
text-transform:uppercase;
letter-spacing: 1.65px;
position:relative; /* add this so .drop is positioned relative to .drop */
}
.drop-holder {
position:absolute;
border:solid 1px teal; /*for demonstration*/
}
About
<div class="drop" id="drop-about">
<div class="drop-holder">
<div class="grey-block">
<strong class="title">Sub Nav</strong>
<ul>
more links ...
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>content <br />content <br />content <br />content <br />content <br />content <br />content <br />
</div>
Positioning property must be specified when using z-index.
Example. Apply
.drop{
#extend %clearfix;
overflow:hidden;
text-transform:uppercase;
letter-spacing: 1.65px;
position:relative; /*Positioning applied here*/
z-index:1;
}
This should fix your problem.

Everything is working fine, I just need some one to improve effect so that it could effect like moving from left to right, I tried with some effect, but it seems it required some css manipulation as well
Thanks
I modified your code to create a carousel where images are slid in and out. I accomplished this by animating the margin-left CSS property with jQuery. I specified a size for the .slider class and used overflow: hidden; to ensure the sliding images were not displayed outside of it.
If you wish, you can change the transition effect by changing the CSS property that is animated and ensuring that the elements are in the correct position for the animation before it begins.
You can also change the speed of the animation by changing the magic number 1000 that I've left in the calls to animate. This number is specified in milliseconds.
By the way, I should point out that while custom HTML attributes are allowed in HTML5 they should begin with data-; they are called data attributes.

I am making a website for a school project, wherein I have left and right drawers. The drawers are hidden and show only when onclick pageX < 100 (left drawer) and pageX > 1200 (right drawer). As the drawers show only onclick(), I want that area to get highlighted in some way (preferably color-change) so that the user knows there is something there. How do I do this?
HTML:
<div id="pgcontainer">
<header>
<div id="navbar">
<div id="rightdrawer">
<ul>
<li>Register</li>
<li>Archives</li>
<li>Contact Us</li>
<li>Our sponsors</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</header>
</div>
JavaScript:
$(function() {
var menuwidth = 240; // pixel value for sliding menu width
var menuspeed = 400; // milliseconds for sliding menu animation time
var $bdy = $('body');
var $container = $('#pgcontainer');
var $hamburger = $('#hamburgermenu');
var $rightmenu = $('#rightdrawer');
var negwidth = "-"+menuwidth+"px";
var poswidth = menuwidth+"px";
$('#pgcontainer').on('click',function(e) {
if(e.pageX < 130) {
if($bdy.hasClass('openmenu')) {
jsAnimateMenuLeft('close');
} else {
jsAnimateMenuLeft('open');
}
}
});
$('.overlay').on('click', function(e) {
if($bdy.hasClass('openmenu')) {
jsAnimateMenuLeft('close');
}
else if($bdy.hasClass('openmenur')) {
jsAnimateMenuRight('close');
}
});
$('a[href$="#"]').on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
function jsAnimateMenuLeft(tog) {
if(tog == 'open') {
$bdy.addClass('openmenu');
$container.animate({marginRight: negwidth, marginLeft: poswidth}, menuspeed);
$hamburger.animate({width: poswidth}, menuspeed);
$('.overlay').animate({left: poswidth}, menuspeed);
}
if(tog == 'close') {
$bdy.removeClass('openmenu');
$container.animate({marginRight: "0", marginLeft: "0"}, menuspeed);
$hamburger.animate({width: "0"}, menuspeed);
$('.overlay').animate({left: "0"}, menuspeed);
}
}
});
I think that the optimal solution here is to add two more elements, position them fixed and add some nice hover styles.
Note that since .leftdrawer-hover and .rightdrawer-hover are children on #pgcontainer clicking on them would act exactly as you need, because click events will bubble to #pgcontainer where you will detect them and show/hide corresponding drawer.
#pgcontainer .leftdrawer-hover,
#pgcontainer .rightdrawer-hover {
content: '';
position: fixed;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 130px;
display: block;
background: rgba(200, 200, 200, .4);
}
#pgcontainer .rightdrawer-hover {
right: 0;
}
#pgcontainer .leftdrawer-hover:hover,
#pgcontainer .rightdrawer-hover:hover {
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .7);
cursor: pointer;
}
<div id="pgcontainer">
<div class="leftdrawer-hover"></div>
<div class="rightdrawer-hover"></div>

I have a two phase animation including a div full of images and to the right, a paragraph of 10 span sentences. The images are absolute, so they stack on top of each other and have a negative margin initially to hide the image, by overflow: hidden.
On phase 1 (when page loads and before user hovers over a span), the images are set at a 5 second interval per image to loop through the images in an infinite manner. This phase and it's interval will clear when the second phase happens, which is when you hover over a span tag, in which the corresponding image slides in to view.
I have phase 1 and phase 2 coded, but my question is: In phase 1, I have to implement it so that when it's animating through the images by default, the corresponding span tag has to have a CSS class just like when you hover over the span tag in phase 2.
Here is the code if anyone wants to fiddle around with it:
<!--begin:content-->
<div id="content">
<div id="pics">
<img src="ADD ANY IMAGE" id="defaultImg" alt="" />
<img src="ADD ANY IMAGE" id="hover_1_pic" alt="" />
<img src="ADD ANY IMAGE" id="hover_2_pic" alt="" />
<img src="ADD ANY IMAGE" id="hover_3_pic" alt="" />
<img src="ADD ANY IMAGE" id="hover_4_pic" alt="" />
<img src="ADD ANY IMAGE" id="hover_5_pic" alt="" />
<img src="ADD ANY IMAGE" id="hover_6_pic" alt="" />
<img src="ADD ANY IMAGE" id="hover_7_pic" alt="" />
<img src="ADD ANY IMAGE" id="hover_8_pic" alt="" />
<img src="ADD ANY IMAGE" id="hover_9_pic" alt="" />
<img src="ADD ANY IMAGE" id="hover_10_pic" alt="" />

Sorry if the indenting is messy.
Ben
I added anew class which is a duplicate of your hover class:
.homeText-hover {
background-color:Lime;
color: White;
cursor: pointer;
}
Then I added two line each to your SlideIn and slideOutCurrent functions:
var slideIn = function (id) {
var slId = id.split('_pic');
$('#' + slId[0]).addClass('homeText-hover');
$('#' + id).addClass('active').animate({ 'margin-left': '0px' }, { 'duration': slideSpeed, 'easing': 'swing', 'queue': true });
}
var slideOutCurrent = function () {
var slId = $('#pics img.active').attr('id').split('_pic');
$('#' + slId[0]).removeClass('homeText-hover');
$('#pics img.active').removeClass('active').animate({ 'margin-left': '325px' }, { 'duration': slideSpeed, 'easing': 'swing', 'queue': true, 'complete': function () { $(this).css('margin-left', '-325px'); } });
}
Your autoslide isn't working out in FF...
I like your solution, Ben. Another solution that uses the same principle of selecting identifying attributes would be to add a class, unique to each img-span pair, to each of the elements, so that each shares a specific class with its corresponding element.
Below is an explanation of the use of classes as flags, which I originally posted in a solution to a different question that has since been closed:
Classes as Flags
Adding a class to an element does not always mean that you are going to be giving it some new CSS styles. CSS is a language that USES CLASSES in order TO HELP identify elements to style a particular way; classes are NOT FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE of applying CSS to an element. Were this not the case, CSS would only be able to style elements through the use of classes, and not through the use of other selectors (IDs, parents, children, descendants, etc.).
Developers often use classes as "flags." Flags are a way of signaling something about a particular element without having to store that information in a variable. For example, imagine you have a list of elements and all the elements are styled exactly the same, via a CSS class. If a developer wanted to mark every other element in this list in a particular way (for some later use), without changing the style of the elements, he may choose to add a second class called "alternate" to the elements.
You can add as many classes as you want to an element and it is totally accepted coding style to add multiple classes that do not have any associated styles (provided that such classes are for some other use -scripting, etc.).
Added this snippet of code to my slideInNext function for desired results:
if (nextImage.attr('id') != "defaultImg") {
//add class to corresponding span tag of current image
var spanId = nextImage.attr('id');
//corresponing span of next image
spanId = spanId.substring(0, spanId.length - 4);
$('#' + spanId).addClass('span-background-change');
}
I just used the substring method in javascript to pull apart the images attribute id and place it in a local variable to represent the span id.
