On a website, I have a list of news articles mentioning a certain thing. I want the articles to be able to be pressed, and when they are, the image source will switch with the image source of the actual article, and the image will grow to an arbitrary size. When you click the image again, it should go back to normal. I also want it to set itself to be absolutely positioned or something that way it doesn't push elements out of its way when it grows.
I guess my first question would be, is there already a code snippet or easy implementation of this or something similar? I have not been able to find one.
Second, I am in the process of making my own, and for whatever reason, when the page loads, every image just fades to disappearing without anything being pressed. Here is my code so far...
$(".newsCover").toggle(function () {
$(this).animate({
width: "auto",
height: "1000px"
}, 1500);
}, function () {
$(this).animate({
width: "auto",
height: "300px"
}, 1500);
});
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it and how to fix it? I have a feeling its just something really stupid...
Thanks so much!
The .animate() method allows us to create animation effects on any
numeric CSS property.
All animated properties should be animated to a single numeric value, except as noted below;
http://api.jquery.com/animate/
However, you can hack it by determining the auto height/width as a hard number:
JavaScript jQuery Animate to Auto Height
The toggle function that you are using was deprecated in 1.8, and removed in 1.9, see here: http://api.jquery.com/toggle-event/ In v 1.9+, the toggle function now simply hides the element.
With no parameters, the .toggle() method simply toggles the visibility
of elements
The parameters that can be passed to the new toggle function can be found here: http://api.jquery.com/toggle/ With the new toggle function, you are unable to run the .animate() function within it. To achieve what you're trying to do, you could do something like:
$(".newsCover").click(function() {
if($(this).height() > 300) {
$(this).animate({
width: "auto",
height: "1000px"
}, 1500);
}
else {
$(this).animate({
width: "auto",
height: "300px"
}, 1500);
}
});

I'm having a problem where I'm making a function in JavaScript (JQuery):
$('.login').click( function() {
$('#login-container').animate({
left: 0
}, 300, "swing", function(){
$('#login-container').animate({
backgroundColor: 'rgba(0,0,0,0.4)'
}, 2000, "swing");
});
});
Whereas "login" is a button and login-container is a big div which contains a form which people can use to login.
I'm trying to make the giant container that slides over the page only turn its background color to lower the website's exposure but it's working and as far as I know, the code is correct.
The first animation happens but the second one (referring to the backgroundColor) doesn't even start at all.
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
I've simplified my code to see if it was a problem of my syntax or JS simply not applying this animation:
$('.login').click( function() {
$('#login-container').animate({
backgroundColor: 'rgba(0,0,0,0.4)'
}, 2000, "swing");
});
And the element does not have its background-color applied, for some reason.
I don't actually get what you're trying to say here, but if you want to toggle that animation you can use $.toggle() of jquery after the user clicks.
If you want to animate this stuff, look at this documentation provided by jQuery
jQuery Animation
Is there a way to reverse the CSS changes caused by jQuery.animate() according to the position of the scroll ? I am working on a website where I want a certain animation effect to occur on an element when a user scrolls down. After that when the user scrolls up the element must get back to its previous state. an example:
$(window).scroll(function(){
if(this.scrollTop() >= 300){ //Scrolling down to a point 300 or more
$('.foo').animate({
'width': 100
'height': 100
}, 500, 'swing');
}
});
As you can see from the above snippet, the effect happens when the user scrolls down. Now below is a code which I can logically think of as to how the reverse effect will work:
if(this.scrollTop() <= 300) { //Scrolling down to a point 300 or more
$('.foo').animate({
'width': 10
'height': 10
}, 500, 'swing');
}
Click THE FIDDLE to see the code in action and get a better insight.
I have seen a lot of plugins doing this however, Is there a better way of doing the above mentioned scenario using just jQuery.animate() binded by the jQuery.scroll() ? If so, Could you please show me an example ? or could you direct me to a link ? Please guide me/advice me.
Thanks for your help !
You can use a class for that, create a class with the properties you want, in your case
.scrolled {
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
}
Then addClass, it accepts the other options you wanted, so you can
if(this.scrollTop() >= 300){
this.addClass('scrolled', 500, 'swing');
}
if(this.scrollTop() < 300){
this.removeClass('scrolled', 500, 'swing);
}
If you don't need to force jquery to edit the CSS of the object, you could tell it to add/remove classes instead which will give you a similar effect.
If your object's style is already composed as 10px width/height, then you can have a style like
.bar{
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
}
and in your javascript code:
if(this.scrollTop() >= 300){
this.addClass('bar');
}
then you can just do
removeClass('bar');
when you don't need it.

I'm using the vimeo api to slide a video off the screen after it finishes playing. Underneath the video player, hidden, I have an image that says 'replay'. The image though is slightly bigger than the player so I want to hide the image via .hide() or display: none in the css and then show it after the animation of the video player completes.
Here's my js:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".vimeo-container img").hide();
$('iframe.vimeo').each(function(){
Froogaloop(this).addEvent('ready', ready);
});
function ready(playerID){
Froogaloop(playerID).addEvent('finish', onFinish);
}
function onFinish(playerID) {
var player = "#" + playerID;
$(player).animate({width: "0%"}, 750, function() {
$(player).next("img").show();
});
}
});
So the first line is hiding the image. And then when the onFinish function completes I'm trying to show() the image, but it won't work. I should note that when I reverse it and do:
$(player).next("img").hide();
it works.
Here's my HTML:
%section#container1
.row.video-left
.large-8.columns
.vimeo-container
.flex-video.widescreen.vimeo
%iframe.vimeo#player1{allowfullscreen: "", frameborder: "0", height: "225", mozallowfullscreen: "", src: "http://player.vimeo.com/video/60122989?api=1&player_id=player1", webkitallowfullscreen: "", width: "400"}
= image_tag "behind1.png", class: "behind1"
And CSS:
.vimeo-container {
position: relative;
.behind1 {
margin-top: -27em;
}
I've also tried setting display: none in the css, but that wont work either. Not sure what I'm missing.
Thanks.
EDIT
function onFinish(playerID) {
var player = "#" + playerID;
$(player).animate({width: "0%"}, 750, function() {
console.log($(player));
$(player).next().show();
});
}
When I log out ($(player) it returns:
And when I log out console.log($(player).next()); it logs out the image that I am trying to show.
According to the jQuery documentation on the animate method here:
Note: Unlike shorthand animation methods such as .slideDown() and .fadeIn(), the .animate() method does not make hidden elements visible as part of the effect. For example, given $( "someElement" ).hide().animate({height: "20px"}, 500), the animation will run, but the element will remain hidden.
I had a similar need in a project and what worked for me there was to set the z-index of the element I wanted to hide to be less than that of the background. Then, when I wanted to show (or, in your case, animate) I could apply the jQuery methods to the element as if they were hidden (by increasing the z-index so that the element becomes visible), yet not incur the undefined behaviour of attempting to manipulate a hidden element.
Another option would be to move the element off the screen by way of a negative (x, y) coordinate and work from there. I'm not sure which visually would be more appealing in your use case but mention it for completeness.
I am using an if statement to trigger a css repositioning based on where my menubar is located.
if($("#menu").hasClass("topmenu")==true)
{
setTimeout(function() {$(".centeringContainer").css(
{
"position":"absolute",
"text-align": "center",
"padding-top": "60px",
"width":"100%",
"z-index": "-5",
"padding-left":"20px",
"margin-left":"20px"
})}, 1);
}
I don't know why, but something about this setTimeout doesn't allow the user to fill out forms on the page. Any text boxes that I need to fill out just get stuck, there isn't even a cursor. Maybe the timeout is stopping all other interactions or something? Any suggestions?
It's hard to know without seeing your markup, but I think the centeringContainer is overlaying all your other form elements. You have it absolutely positioned with 100% width, so this could be on top of your inputs, making them appear "stuck".
Set the width of the centeringContainer to 1px and see if that fixes anything. If so, you'll probably need to rethink how you are using that container.
I'm trying to get a div #sidebar that rests above my main #stream div to move from position left: 565px; to position left: 0px; onClick of one image in the #sidebar div (the red arrow in the images below), and do the reverse onClick of the same image. I know I have to use JavaScript, but I have no idea what the code would be. If possible, I would like to animate the div move too.
The pre-clicked state (the arrow will be my link):
The post-clicked state:
Thanks in advance!
If you want to animate it using animate have a look at this. It should get you pointed in the right direction:
http://jsfiddle.net/3DpfJ/5/embedded/result/ - Full screen result
http://jsfiddle.net/3DpfJ/5/ - source code
So what I simply did was this:
$(function()
{
var expanded = false;
$('#sidebar').click(function()
{
if (!expanded)
{
$(this).animate({'left' : '0px'}, {duration : 400});
expanded = true;
}
else
{
$(this).animate({'left' : '565px'}, {duration: 400});
expanded = false;
}
});
});
This is probably the simplest way of doing it via animation. Duration is set to 400 so it will take 0.4 seconds to animate. Adjust as you please.
This script should be executed as soon as you load the page to ensure that the expand works. You will want to create <script type="text/javascript"></script> tag in the header and put the code there.
Hope it works for you.
$('#sidebar').click(function(){
$(this).animate({"left": "0"});
});
jquery uses toggle to handle this. It works better than a regular "animate" because it combines the hide and show into one function (toggle).
You might need to do some tweaking to fit your needs but this should get you started:http://jqueryui.com/toggle/
