A great resource for an apple-like time machine animation is "space gallery":
http://www.eyecon.ro/spacegallery
I would like to place text on top of every image to use the gallery as a banner.
I think the best way would be using DIVs and place the IMG and the referring text in it.
Sadly, it's not done by surrounding the "img" by "div"-tags in the .html and changing "img" to "div" in the .js... :(
Do you have an idea to use a DIV or even a better solution?
Well it's a nice plugin, hopefully the author will add it some more methods in the future (or put it to place like github), so this could be done more programatically. At the moment maybe you need to tweak spacegallery.js itself.
My minimal solution is using sibling div's for captions, positioned at top left corner of images and borrowing it's CSS styles. Here is copy of plugin, changes are in spacegallery.js. Use some diff tool to see changes.
I did it to use image alt attributes (added them in index.html) as captions. However it can be done many better ways, this is just basic. It also doesn't work after first cycle, and I didn't add any styles :)

I'm kind of new to this and couldn't find any solutions so far that works.
I want to achieve the effect present on the images here: http://www.apple.com/macbook/
When the user scrolls down, the image is going up and vice versa. I took a look into their javascript files (line 28928 in overview.build.js), found the lines that do this but couldn't understood it exactly.
On my website when I want to use this effect I have the image inside a div container as img tag, but I can also place it as background-image.
Thank you for yor time!
I think what you are referring to is a parallax effect. There are a wide variety of jQuery plugins to achieve this effect.
The plugin that I use:
https://github.com/jalxob/cool-kitten
You can find tons of other options by googling "parallax effect"
I have this page where I tried to create a on page pop-up for an image using JS/JQuery, following this example (http://www.jqueryscript.net/lightbox/Simple-jQuery-Plugin-For-Opening-A-Popup-Window-On-Page-load.html).
Although I succeeded on it, when I try to implement it on my customer page, some divs are on front of my pop-up, no matter how high I configure the "z-index" for it. Also, these divs seem to be dinamically generated, as they have the "wrap" id div around that I can't find on my .php file for this page.
So, no matter what I do, these images are on front of my pop-up (except if I remove them using the "Inspect element" tool or change the z-index on them with Inspect Element, changing the inline style for this automatically generated "wrap" div).
This is the page without any changes on "Inspect Element", the white image boxes with the red arrows are the problem here (they belong to the page under the pop-up and I need them to be under the pop-up): http://imgur.com/waB1igo
This is what happens if I change the z-index of the automatically generated div "wrap" that I can find searching the code with "Inspect element" for one of the boxes (the first one): imgur.com/lDk1eRA
So, any of you guys have a tip for me on how to solve this problem?
I've already tried to create new css rules for this div or the img's tags, using the "!important" and these kind of things, without result.
Thanks very much in advance and sorry for english errors,
Matheus Barreto.
You might want to try setting the position property of the overlay to absolute. Images that have their positions set to absolute will get on top of everything that is not set to position absolute or fixed which can be very annoying. You might need to work around a bit with centering it or other issues that come from setting its position to absolute but this should work.
Try to make sure your overlay DIVs are outside wrappers, inside the </body> tag, before closing scripts... If the DIV is inside another that has a lower z-index, it won't "pop out" of it.
Also, you may try really high z-index, such as 8000 or higher. You should be able to use up to 65535 (higher depending on the browser's implementation).
It's worth noting that you should have a plan for z indexes of fixed/absolutely positioned items.
What I'm trying to do is something like you see at http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMimc1109704. (Click Play and go to page 5 - the interactive physical exam.) I think they are doing this with Flash, but I'd like to use javascript/jQuery.
Basically there's an image that has multiple captions. The captions have arrows that point to different parts of the image, but that's not essential for me. When you click on different links, different captions appear.
Would I tackle this as an image map? I.e. create a map, and use jQuery to toggle different parts of the map? Is there a plug-in that does that? Google searches aren't helping me - but maybe I don't know what to look for. Any help will be appreciated.
I'm having the same problem and I found imageMapster. Check out
http://www.outsharked.com/imagemapster/default.aspx?demos.html#beatles
I think this is what you want to do. Just this solution today, haven't figured it out yet. Looks promising though. Otherwise check out qTip2

Maybe some adaptions let you/us do what we wanna do
Good luck! Keep u updated if I figured it out
Why would you need jQuery?
Anyway, put your main image down, and set its position to be fixed where you want it. You could even put it in a nice container div, just make sure all your caption divs are relative to the same parent. Then put fixed position divs of your caption images over it with a higher z-index in your css. Then place your caption images at the appropriate top and left positions until they are correct. Of course, use transparent PNGs.
All you need to do to toggle them is set the element's style.display to "none" or "inherit"
Need your help.
I created a static semi-opaque banner which stays at the top of a website. When a user scrolls the website the entire container objects goes underneath the banner. I want all the objects (images, text..etc) getting blury effect as it goes underneath the banner.
Thanks
The only way you're going to be able to do this is by getting fancy with some CSS and javascript. CSS doesn't support blur directly, but you can emulate it with text-shadow. Images can also be blurred with a little jquery/css/javascript magic, but will be problematic because you can't partially blur an image (what happens when only part of the image is under the banner?). It could probably be done by layering your images and keeping track of their position on screen, but all of this seems like a lot of work for a very small return.
So, assuming you've decided to give all of this a shot, you're going to have to use javascript to determine which parts of the page have passed under the banner and apply the style to those parts. The difficulty of this task will scale with the complexity of your page layout. In a best case scenario, your banner and content container are both 100% the width of the html body. At this point, it would be fairly trivial to write some kind of scanner that traverses the dom every time you page scroll to find elements that the blur should be applied to. However, best-case-scenario is rarely the case at hand, at which point I'd recommend abandoning the effort to pursue something with a greater ROI.
This isn't possible with CSS nor jQuery. You might be able to do something with IE's filters, however that's IE only (of course), and will invalidate your CSS.
Currently, there is no way to do this, although something might come along in CSS 4 or something.
The Chrome nightly builds support some filters, however there isn't an alpha blur filter (yet, at least).
I've searched high and low for a tutorial but I can't find one.
It is really a simple task that I see in lots of websites.
Pretty much like I have a menu, with a set width, and if my link is extra long, I want the overflow to be hidden, and when the user mouseovers the link, it will marquee the rest of the text.
It really shouldnt be this hard cuz I see it in lots of websites.
I really want to avoid using the marquee tag and go for javascript instead but my javascript is quite horrible and jquery is absolutely impossible to follow.
Any suggestions?
Try this:
http://jsfiddle.net/bryanjamesross/vsQFE/4/
The trick is that you will need individual container elements with overflow:hidden and set widths for each link, otherwise the whole container will scroll, instead of each link. In my example, I contained each <a> inside <li> tags that had set widths and overflow:hidden.
Then it's just a matter of hooking up the jQuery and animating correctly.
edited: fixed an animation bug, and made a the code a bit easier to follow
Just add this to your element
onmouseover="this.style.overflow=''" onmouseout="this.style.overflow='hidden'
Did it help?
