I'm trying to create a flow digram using data from the server, I am able to draw the states and connection correctly, states are draggable but same is not working with the connectors.
please see the sample code below.
<html>
<head>
<script src="../../lib/jquery-1.9.0.js"></script>
<script src="../../lib/jquery-ui-1.9.2-min.js"></script>
<script src="../../lib/jquery.jsPlumb-1.4.1-all.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var i = 0;
var top = 50;
var left = 500;
for (var j = 0; j <= 5; j++) {
top += 150;
var newState = $('<div>').attr('id', 'state' + j).addClass('item');
var title = $('<div>').addClass('title').text('State ' + j);
newState.css({
'top': top,
'left': left
});
newState.append(title);
$('#container').append(newState);
if (j > 0) {
var firstInstance = jsPlumb.getInstance();
firstInstance.importDefaults({
Connector: ["Flowchart", {curviness: 150}],
Anchors: ["BottomCenter", "TopCenter"]
});
firstInstance.connect({
endpoint: "Rectangle",
source: "state" + (j-1),
target: "state" + (j),
paintStyle: {lineWidth: 3, strokeStyle: 'black'},
overlays: [
"Arrow",
["Label", {location: 0.25, id: "myLabel"}]
]
});
}
jsPlumb.draggable(newState, {
containment: 'parent'
});
}
});
</script>
<style type="text/css">
.item {
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: #ddddff;
}
#container {
border: 1px solid gray;
width: 1500px;
height: 1500px;
}
.title {
padding: 10px;
cursor: move;
}

background-color: #ddddff;
}
</style>
<title>Getting started with jsPlumb</title>
</head>

I need to make the connectors drag-able, any help is apprenticed.
issue is solved
used jsPlumb.connect() instesd of firstInstance.connect().

I'm trying to figure out how to make a dialogue system that shows the text and after you click it removes all the text in the box and new text appears in its place. (I want to be able to do this multiple times)
var container = document.querySelector(".text");
var speeds = {
pause: 400,
slow: 120,
normal: 50,
fast: 20,
superFast: 10
};
var textLines = [{
speed: speeds.slow,
string: "this is a test"
},
{
speed: speeds.pause,
string: "",
pause: true
},
{
speed: speeds.normal,
string: "pls help me"
},
{
speed: speeds.fast,
string: "idk what im doing",
classes: ["red"]
},
{
speed: speeds.normal,
string: ":("
}
];
var characters = [];
textLines.forEach((line, index) => {
if (index < textLines.length - 1) {
line.string += " ";
}
line.string.split("").forEach((character) => {
var span = document.createElement("span");
span.textContent = character;
container.appendChild(span);
characters.push({
span: span,
isSpace: character === " " && !line.pause,
delayAfter: line.speed,
classes: line.classes || []
});
});
});
function revealOneCharacter(list) {
var next = list.splice(0, 1)[0];
next.span.classList.add("revealed");
next.classes.forEach((c) => {
next.span.classList.add(c);
});
var delay = next.isSpace && !next.pause ? 0 : next.delayAfter;
if (list.length > 0) {
setTimeout(function() {
revealOneCharacter(list);
}, delay);
}
}
setTimeout(() => {
revealOneCharacter(characters);
}, 600)
const btn = document.getElementById('btn');

so far all I'm able to make from this is a single phrase appear on the screen and that's about it. to change it, I have to go in manually.
I make (almost) all the js from scratch because it would have been really hard to refactor your code in order to achieve what you want, what I've done seems to work, it is pretty straightforward :
const container = document.querySelector(".text");
const btn = document.querySelector("#textchanger");
// rename speeds in delays which is more coherant
const delays = {
slow: 120,
normal: 50,
fast: 20,
superFast: 10
};
const textLines = [
{
delay: delays.slow,
string: "this is a test"
},
{
delay: delays.normal,
string: "pls help me"
},
{
delay: delays.fast,
string: "idk what im doing",
classes: ["red"]
},
{
delay: delays.normal,
string: ":("
}
];
const revealLine = (lineIndex = 0) => {
const line = textLines[lineIndex]
let charIndex = 0
const nextChar = () => {
const char = line.string[charIndex]
const span = document.createElement('span')
span.textContent = char
span.classList.add(...(line.classes ?? []))
container.appendChild(span)
charIndex++
if (charIndex < line.string.length)
setTimeout(nextChar, line.delay);
else if (lineIndex + 1 < textLines.length) {
const cb = () => {
// remove this listener to display the next one
btn.removeEventListener('click', cb)
// clear the container
Array.from(container.children).forEach(el => el.remove())
// reveal the next line
revealLine(lineIndex + 1)
}
btn.addEventListener('click', cb)
}
}
nextChar()
}
revealLine()

I'm looking to create a random name picker with HTML, JS and CSS which has gone quite well as you can see here... http://clients.random.agency/namepicker/
However, the client has asked for it to have a similar animation to this with ...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3likecb0ld30som/Jv0Gp4XkhQ.mp4?dl=0
I've search google but I can't seem to find any examples of what I'm looking for and would really appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction.
This is a simple example, hope be helpful.
var names =['John', 'David', 'Joe', 'Sara'];
var nameCount= names.length;
var p = document.getElementById("container");
var randTimer = setInterval(function(){ p.innerHTML = names[Math.floor(Math.random() * nameCount)]; }, 200);
function stop(){
clearInterval(randTimer);
}
#container{
color: red;
font-size:2rem;
text-align:center;
cursor: pointer;
}
<p id="container" onClick="stop()"></p>
<p>click on random names to pick one!</P>
Here's a pretty similar example I was able to find. Using Javascript seems to be the most straightforward way to go about doing this. https://codepen.io/maerianne/pen/pRQbQr
var myScrollTop = function(elem, delay){
elem.animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, delay, function(){
myScrollBottom(elem, delay);
});
};
var myScrollBottom = function(elem, delay){
elem.animate({ scrollTop: elem.height() }, delay, function(){
myScrollTop(elem, delay);
});
};
var scrollUpDown = function(elem, delay) {
myScrollTop(elem, delay);
};
$(document).ready(function(){
scrollUpDown($(".scroll-up-down"), 5000);
});
As you can see, scrollUpDown()is the initial function which starts a loop switching between myScrollTop() and myScrollBottom(). You could pretty easily make the delay increase with each iteration to mimic the slowing down and eventual stop in the example animation you gave.
You could also refactor this to be a singular recursive function.
Best of luck!
It picks a random item from the array of labels. Then it goes into a loop, changing the label to the next item in the array until it gets to the chosen one, and using animation for the transitions
$('#search_btns button:nth-child(2)').hover(function() {
btnTimeID = setTimeout(function() {
// We are using the math object to randomly pick a number between 1 - 11, and then applying the formula (5n-3)5 to this number, which leaves us with a randomly selected number that is applied to the <ul> (i.e. -185) and corresponds to the position of a word (or <li> element, i.e. "I'm Feeling Curious").
var pos = -((Math.floor((Math.random() * 11) + 1)) * 5 - 3) * 5
if (pos === -135) {
console.log("position didn't change, let's force change")
pos = -35;
}
$('#search_btns button:nth-child(2) ul').animate({'bottom':pos + 'px'}, 300);
// Change the width of the button to fit the currently selected word.
if (pos === -35 || pos === -110 || pos === -185 || pos === -10 || pos === -60 || pos === -160) {
console.log(pos + ' = -35, -110, -185, -10, -60, -160');
$('#search_btns button:nth-child(2)').css('width', '149px');
} else if (pos === -85) {
console.log(pos + ' = -85');

} else {
console.log(pos + ' = -260, -235');
$('#search_btns button:nth-child(2)').css('width', '144px');
}
},200);
}, function() {
clearTimeout(btnTimeID);
setTimeout(function() {
console.log('setTimeout function');
$('#search_btns button:nth-child(2) ul').css('bottom', '-135px'); // this is the original position
$('#search_btns button:nth-child(2)').css('width', '144px'); // reset the original width of the button

I'm working on a image gallery based on OpenSeaDragon, and I'd like to be able to use overlays in collection mode. Based on the various examples on the OSD website (http://openseadragon.github.io/) I managed to hack together a minimal working example, but there are several issues I've not been able to fix (see https://jsfiddle.net/7ox0hg9L/).
First, the on/off overlay toggle works fine, but if I pan/zoom the image the overlay reappears, even though toggle-off deletes the element from the DOM using parentNode.removeChild().
Second, I can't seem to get the overlay tooltips to work consistently on the first page, and they never appear on the following pages. The tooltip on the radiobutton label works fine on any page though, so I'm not sure why the tooltips on the overlays do not.
Any suggestion would be welcome. Please bear in mind that I am new to javascript. Thanks!
EDIT: iangilman's answer below and his edits on jsfiddle put me back on track, and helped me create the gallery I had in mind. I post here the full solution for those who may need similar features. Thanks Ian!

Looks like you're off to a good start!
You're correctly adding the overlays with addOverlay, so you need to remove them with removeOverlay:
runtimeViewer.removeOverlay(element);
For the tooltips, unfortunately OpenSeadragon's event handling can interfere with jQuery, so you'll have to use the OpenSeadragon MouseTracker:
function bindTooltip(elt) {
new OpenSeadragon.MouseTracker({
element: elt,
enterHandler: function(event) {
// Show tooltip
},
exitHandler: function(event) {
// Hide tooltip
}
}).setTracking(true);
}
I have a script that should find the x and y position. I can find the x position without any problem but my y position appears to be infinity, and i can not figure out why. here is my script

<script language"javascript" type"text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".view_parent_furnace_boiler").droppable();

{
grid: [10, 10],
containment: "#picture_container",
revert: 'invalid',
stop: function(){
($(".door").height() / 100)+"%");
var elementName = $(this).attr('name');
console.log(elementName);
var elementID = $(this).attr('id');
elementID = elementID.split(",");
var parent = $(this).parent();
/*finding the x and y position percentage based on the container*/
var yPosition = parseInt($(this).css('top'))/parent.height()*100;
var xPosition = parseInt($(this).css('left'))/parent.width()*100;
console.log(xPosition); //displays without anyproblem
console.log(yPosition); //does not work (infinity
/*assigning the div id to variable for further display and debugging purpose*/
for (var k = 0; k < elementID.length; k++) {
var device_id = elementID[0];
var command = elementID[1];
var map_id = elementID[2];
}
/*assigining values to variables*/
$('#'+elementName+'-device_id').val(device_id);
$('#'+elementName+'-command').val(command);
$('#'+elementName+'-map_id').val(map_id);
$('#'+elementName+'-x_position').val(xPosition);
$('#'+elementName+'-y_position').val(yPosition);

Try using jQuery $(this).offset().top or $(this).position().top instead of $(this).css('top').
https://api.jquery.com/position/
https://api.jquery.com/offset/
I tried this var yPosition = parseInt($(this).css('top'))/parent.weight()*200; and it worked perfectly, now i can find my height 100% without any problem.
I have a project handling a library of excel files. To make it easilier for the users to visually scan them, I would like to generate preview thumbnail images of their content. Google drive does this (screenshot below) but I have no idea how.
Any ideas/suggestions on how this could be done (without using the drive API) ?
I guess this is what you need

This demo shows how to add live mini-previews to links on hover. Check out these links to SitePoint and A List Apart. Hover over them to see a small preview of what they point to.

Those previews were fetched as soon as this page loaded. This is great for having the previews ready ahead of time, but can eat up extra bandwidth. As an alternative, check out these links to Abduzeedo and Smashing Magazine. These previews aren't fetched until you hover over this paragraph.

Finally, check out these links to Daniel's blog, Joni's blog, and my blog. These previews are only fetched when needed. This saves the most bandwidth, but there will be a delay before the previews can be shown.

I just use a library to generate a PNG preview of the excel file and show it.
I use Free Spire.XLS for .NET because I'm in the .net world, but you can look at Wijmo Workbook Viewer for your Node.js needs.
