Why is bxslider duplicating my divs

My designer put a bxslider to scroll through 3 divs nicely on my page.
When the page runs, in the html I see it generates 6 divs on the page. It shows div 3, div2, div1, div3, div2, div1.
Just because the duplicated fields on my page now mess up my programing.
Is that neccesary, and is there any way I can touch the code that it shouldn't duplicate my divs?
The page is full of complex code , with an ajax passing the data-serialize to a post form.
Becuase it's all duplicated, now all fields are coming through as 'value,value'. Therefore it's not giving me accurate respones, and well as undefined when it's supposed to be numeric.
My form posts looks like this:
function submitCart () {
$.post(
"scripts/savecart.asp",
$("#form1").serialize()
);}
How could I add that not bx- to it?

As commented in the source code of bxSlider:
if infinite loop, prepare additional slides
So I was able to fix this by adding infiniteLoop: false to the config object:
$(".js-slider").bxSlider({
infiniteLoop: false
});

BxSlider duplicates elements to allow infinite scrolling, etc. For example, say you only have two elements in your slider. Element one might be sliding out on the left, but also sliding in on the right. Therefore, duplicates are required.
If this is a problem, you can usually interact with the duplicates using their bx-clone classes. If you could clarify the actual problem, we could probably give more specific advice.
Update: To eliminate cloned elements from your set, try something like:
$('.bxslider li:not(.bx-clone)')....

I had such problem with bx-clone
I want to use it for an image gallery. So I had a thumbnail image slider and for slider I used bx-slider and on each click on small image , that image in bigger size must show in a div , But on bx-clone clicked nothing happened
I solved that problem with this :
var slider = $('.bxslider').bxSlider({
minSlides: 4,
maxSlides: 4,
slideWidth: 92,
moveSlides: 1,
pager: false,
slideMargin: 10,
onSliderLoad: function(){
$('li.bx-clone').click(function() {
/** your code for bx clone click event **/
});
}
});

Adding to #antongorodezkiy's answer, there is a way to have infiniteLoop: false and still get a non-stopping slide changing: using the onSlideAfter event of the last slide you can, after a few seconds, go back to the first slide and re-start the auto mode:
var pauseTime = 4000; //Time each slide is shown in ms. This is the default value.
var timeoutId;
var slider = $('.bxslider').bxSlider({
auto: true,
infiniteLoop: false,
pause: pauseTime,
onSlideAfter: function ($slideElement, oldIndex, newIndex) {
if (newIndex === slider.getSlideCount() - 1) { //Check if last slide
setTimeout(
function () {
slider.goToSlide(0);
slider.startAuto(); //You need to restart the "auto" mode
},
pauseTime //Use the same amount of time the slider is using
);
}
else { //In case the user changes the slide before the timeout fires
clearTimeout(timeoutId);
slider.startAuto(); //Doesn't affects the slider if it's already on "auto" mode
}
}
});
The difference between this solution and the infiniteLoop: true option is that instead of smoothly transitioning back to the first slide as if it was the next, the slider quickly "rewinds" until reaching the first slide.

for above query: Is it possible to keep having the infinite loop, but remove the clones?
try using below code: if more than 1 item infiniteloop: true else :false
infiniteLoop: ($j("...selector...").length < 2) ? false : true,

Just to answer here, so if some one is struggling and cannot fix the duplication issue. I was facing the same problem that all of my HTML from my page was duplicating inside the first slide under the image tag like bellow:
<img src="public/admin/scr3.png" ><div>..... all of my page HTML...</div></img>
I just found that I was writing the image tag not properly
Meaning my code was something like this for image tag
<img src="public/admin/scr3.png" >
I just replaced my image tag with valid HTML like bellow:
<img src="public/admin/scr3.png" />
and it fixed the content duplication issue.
Hope it will help someone.
Cheers!

I´m not sure if it´s the same issue I was facing, but here´s my case:
My code was using bx slider together with fancybox. And it was duplicating my slides. The solution was to put the secodary code (fancy box), which was generated in my image loop, inside the tag. That did it for me.

Javascript sliding Image Gallery - no jQuery

Does anyone have any tips on making a pure JS image slider? I am looking to have it pause after each image and restart after going through all the images. All that I can find are jQuery plugins and I am look to do this with only JS.

i'd go for something like this:
var sliderTool = {
_totalItems : 0,
_visibleItems : 6,
_currentOffset : 0,
_timeout : null,
next : function(){
...
},
prev : function(){
...
},
play : function(){
...
},
pause : function(){
...
}
};
as a base.
every time you set timeout, save it into the _timeout field so you can clearTimeout(sliderTool._timeout) whenever you want.
next and prev can contain animations or just a simple image replacement. you can add a separate timeout for animation and for intervals between slides.
you can add an "add()" method to the sliderTool and on window.load or "body onload" add all the images and then run the start() method. you can also dynamically add images after page is loaded
maybe also add init() for autoloading and basic setup.
again, this is a basic draft of a possible solution. once you get running you'll probably run into more specific questions. Overall, as an approach, i recommend trying to come up with some solution first before asking for a general advice ;)

Trying to interpret jQuery again - how do I pause on video play?

Ok, I'm trying to modify some already written jQuery - as background, I know Javascript decently, but I'm only so-so with jQuery. My understanding of this code is that there's a scrolling bar, which will change every 6 seconds. I am unsure if there's any video specific code in here though - right now the scrollbar has a video embedded on one of the panes, which is clicked on.
What I am trying to do, is set up an image (currently inside <div class=vid>, not shown), which when it is clicked, will stop the paning, UNTIL one of the buttons at the bottom is clicked, and it will also play a flash video.
Here's the code:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var scroll_item = jQuery("#chained").scrollable({circular: true, mousewheel: false}).navigator().autoscroll({
interval: 6000,
autoplay: false,
autopause: false
});
window.scroll_control = scroll_item.data("scrollable");
scroll_control.play();
var $playBtn = $('#p-p-btn');
$playBtn.click(function(){
if($(this).hasClass('play')){
$(this).addClass('pause');
$(this).removeClass('play');
scroll_control.play();
} else if($(this).hasClass('pause')) {
$(this).addClass('play');
$(this).removeClass('pause');
scroll_control.stop();
};
});
jQuery('#chained').hover(
function() { scroll_control.stop(); },
function() {
if ($playBtn.hasClass('pause')) {
scroll_control.play();
}
}
);
});
</script>
I believe all I have to do is add a condition which will determine if the image has been clicked (it is in <div class=vid>, but I am going to give it an id as well probably), which will turn the paning off (perhaps by "clicking" the play/off button?), and it will also launch the video with an auto play setting.
Does that sound accurate?
How would I turn the paning off?

I don't fully understand the code, because i don't know the whole context.
But try to add this in your document ready:
$("#YOURIMAGEID").bind("click",function(){
scroll_control.stop();
$('#p-p-btn').addClass('play');
$('#p-p-btn').removeClass('pause');
//other logic
});

One piece of Javascript stopping another from loading

The below code, seems to cancel each other out, the top one works but the bottom one doesn't but when I remove the top part it all works fine!
A working example of both can be found here: http://www.healthygit.com as you can see the fade on the menu doesn't work but the accordion does... Does anyone know what's causing this?
<script>
$(function() {
$('#slidorion').slidorion({
first: 2,
easing: 'easeInOutCubic',
effect: 'random'
});
});
</script>
<title>Healthy Git | Health And Fitness Guide</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="headerimage"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function($){
$('.megamenu').megaMenuCompleteSet({
menu_speed_show : 300, // Time (in milliseconds) to show a drop down
menu_speed_hide : 200, // Time (in milliseconds) to hide a drop down
menu_speed_delay : 300, // Time (in milliseconds) before showing a drop down
menu_effect : 'hover_fade', // Drop down effect, choose between 'hover_fade', 'hover_slide', etc.
menu_click_outside : 1, // Clicks outside the drop down close it (1 = true, 0 = false)
menu_show_onload : 0 // Drop down to show on page load (type the number of the drop down, 0 for none)
});
});
</script>

Your javascript has errors in it.
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'megaMenuCompleteSet'
Either your menu is not loaded properly or not initialized, i guess.
You can debug javascript with Firebug(FF) or Inspect Element(Chrome)

I don't see anything specifically wrong, but it's hard to see without the rest of the code. My guess is that the slidorion function has not been added to the jQuery prototype, ie:
$.fn.slidorion = function() {
//do something
}

Javascript Fancybox 1.3.4 Solution but needed it further explained please

This answer has been taken from this post:
Fancybox problem on iPhone
This was voted as best answer but I am new and still learning at js and I am having such a difficult time putting this all together, can someone help me with some more detailed instructions?
Fancybox attempts to auto resize and center itself everytime that the
browser window is resized, and this event gets triggered a lot on
iPads and iPhones. For fancy box 1.3.4, the code which controls this
is line 608: $(window).bind("resize.fb", $fancybox.resize);
To fix the issue, I modified this part of the fancybox JS, and added
another option called "resizeOnWindowResize", which you can set to
false for iPad and iPhone users, or just disable all together.
if(currentOpts.resizeOnWindowResize) { $(window).bind("resize.fb",
$fancybox.resize); } You must also add a default value for this
option in $.fn.fancybox.defaults hash map.
Then, when calling fancybox you can utilize this new option:
$('#fancybox_link').fancybox(${'scrolling': 'no',
width: 'auto',
height: 'auto',
centerOnScroll: false,
resizeOnWindowResize : false});
I got as far as go to line 608. I really do not know what to do next. What should the final product look like after you've added "resizeonwindowResize" and the if statement?

Add this:
if(currentOpts.resizeOnWindowResize) {
$(window).bind("resize.fb", $.fancybox.resize);
}
Where you find:
$(window).bind("resize.fb", $.fancybox.resize);
Near the bottom of:
$.fn.fancybox.defaults = { //blah blah blah options here.
onComplete : function(){},
onCleanup : function(){},
onClosed : function(){},
onError : function(){},
// Add this
resizeOnWindowResize: true
};
Then save and when you call the fancybox:
$('.photo_gallery a').fancybox({
resizeOnWindowResize: false
});

This is also an alternative. Just replace the $.fancybox.resize function to as follows. It's just adding a simple userAgent check to avoid the .center call for iPhones.
$.fancybox.resize = function() {
if (overlay.is(':visible')) {
overlay.css('height', $(document).height());
}
if(!(navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) && !(navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i))) {
$.fancybox.center(true);
}
};
