I've been looking at using a script I've found online (here) as a basis for a website I'm looking to create. It has an issue in Chrome in that the page wont scroll once a link is clicked, however if I resize the window just a tiny bit the page "repaints" - I think this is the right term - and all is well again.
Is there anyway to do a repaint like this? I don't mean refresh :)! Sorry if this seems a bit vauge, if you try this link in chrome, press one of the links in the header and you'll see the problem when trying to then scroll.
Initially I'm thinking there might be some javascript I can call at the end of switching pages that repaints the page.
Thanks
You could try doing something like this after the slide has completely transitioned to a new page:
Since you've commented that it didn't work as I originally suggested, here's a way to "encourage" Chrome to do the hide/display trick:
$(".slide.loaded.prev").css("display", "none");
setTimeout(function() {
$(".slide.loaded.prev").css("display","");
});
or you could try this:
var slide=$(".slide.loaded.prev");
slide.css("display", "none").height(); // just get the height to trigger a relayout.
slide.css("display", "");
The above code simply finds the previously visible slide, sets the CSS property display to none (hiding it completely) and then removes it. This trick worked when using the Chrome developer tools.
It appears that the scroll bar is for the previous "slide" in Chrome. By toggling the display of the slide briefly, the scrollbar is hidden under the now current "slide's" content.

I've made a menu with a backlayered moving div on hover/current menu item in wordpress.
JsFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/wwv9c0v7/
Problem: Everything works fine, except when I'm reloading the page (F5). A click on a link with new page works well too. I don't know why, but the position().left returns a bad value. It's moved too far left.
$magicLine.css("left", $(".current-menu-item").position().left)
Thanks for your help.

I've managed to see your problem, but as the documentation below refers, browsers do not expose theirs API to detect zoom situations, when you make a refresh to the page this have a different size, you can observe that behaviour when the page is loading, it begins with a different size (i assume the page comes with bigger size, because scroll bar is loaded after the page, so this makes the page to change it's size).
Docs: https://api.jquery.com/position/
Try to make this in jquery method: $(document).ready(...)by doing this you ensure that function will allways execute after the page is loaded.
I'm building this site julebord.bedriftsdesign.no and implemented animated scroll on this page: http://julebord.bedriftsdesign.no/julebord.html
Now this is the problem. When I use an internal anchor link like (#myanchor) the animated scroll works fine. But if the link is formatted like this http://julebord.bedriftsdesign.no/julebord.html#myanchor It won't work.
I need both to work but am a bit at a loss on how. I'm guessing something has to be changed in the javascript i use right?
Would appreciate any input on this. Thanks
I think it won't work with your current script because the scroll is triggered by a click not a page load.
You could detect the URL hash on the page load and then manually trigger the click, which would then trigger the scroll.
You could do something like (this isn't tested in your page so it might need some tweaking)
if(window.location.hash) {
$('a[href="#'+window.location.hash.substr(1)+'"]').trigger('click');
}
I was wondering if is possible to customize the scrollbars for an iframe. Both the iframe and the page are on the same domain so there are no issues there. If so, what route should I take and is this something that I should be doing? (design-wise).
I will be updating this as I get it working. Just thought I'd try to get some insight ahead of time.
Thanks
Okay, I ended up getting it working using jScrollPane. The only hangup I had was that jquery.jscrollpane.css needed to be inside each iframe, not outside, which makes sense.
Afterwards, all it took was
$("iframe").each(function(){
var body = $("body",this.contentWindow.document) ;
body.jScrollPane();
});
where the above javascript is present in the parent of the iframe. The jScrollPane js files are also in the parent, not each individual iframe.
Afterwards, the scrollbars are sticky. I solved this by covering the iframe in an invisible element after the scrollbar is clicked and uncovering when released. This was done by
$(".jspDrag",body).on('mousedown',cover_iframes);
$("body").on('mouseup',uncover_iframes);
where cover_iframes and uncover_iframes call the .show() and .hide() of the covering element, respectively.
Now I noticed that when the scrollbar is moved, it is shifted over by the offset of the iframe. I am working on fixing that now.
I have an issue with my website. My page loads normally in Firefox, but when I use either Chrome or Safari, it goes to the bottom of the page and I don't understand why. I tried putting the following snippet at the beginning of the page, but no luck.
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$(document).scrollTop(0);
});
</script>
Why does the page go to the bottom on loading?
When going to your site, I get redirected to http://www.ondinevermenot.fr/#start. That means the page will try to jump to the start element.
However, the start element is absolutely positioned. Therefore, when the page tries to jump down, the start element moves down with it. Therefore the page tries to jump down again. Then the start element moves down more. They keep going down until the bottom of the page, when there is no more room.
To fix it, don't redirect to #start when your page loads.
Because of the strangeness of jumping to something that's absolutely positioned, it's probably handled differently in different browsers.
Try to have your image and other contents put inside div and set the box attribute of the div to margin:auto. works well with HTML5.
i have an alturnative work around for you and incase you ever need to get to the top of the page - you can use this javascript as an alturnative:
((IJavaScriptExecutor)webapplication).ExecuteScript("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight 0)");
however the other option would be to set a start up property: for example document.start("body.height = 0") something along those lines may work.
preferably id use option one as a code to start the broswer at a set height may not work so well for every browser. hope this helps.
I had 2 links to my home page in my footer. When I removed the links from my footer the problem went away.
This is a bit weird to explain so ill do my best.
Im working on a mobile site that im trying to shape into an ios app (eventually).
On this page i have a menu button that on click, shows/hides menu.
Everything for the most part is working but, the problem is that when you click on the "back" button and the browser runs out of previous locations to go back to, the menu button breaks. When you click it, nothing happens. it behaves as though nothing is there.
The errors go like this, if on index(or first page), you click ONE link to go forward, and then on the browser hit the back button, it breaks instantly.
If your on the index, and hit for example, 5 links in any order(essentially you went forward 5xs) and thereafter, you hit back up to 4xs, the menu still works....you can essentially keep pressing links forward and be fine, hit back as far as you want and stop short one less than the total times you went forward and still be fine.
As soon as you hit the maximum backs, and theres nothing left in the history of page locations to go back to, the menu then breaks.
here is the link of this dummy site im working on (on my server)
NOTE: to test, when it loads, manually shrink the browser to about 400 width so you can see the page take effect.
EDIT** woops forgot the link
http://somdowprod.net/4testing/mobile/less1.html
and here is my code
javascript:(i left comments in there, so you can see where my logic is at...maybe im going about it wrong?)
// JavaScript Document
$(document).ready(function(){
var newHash = "";
var menuBtn = $('.leftButton');
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~menu show/hide
menuBtn.click( menuShowHide);
//===========================//
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~MENU SHOW / HIDE
function menuShowHide(){
$('#menu').toggleClass();
// if($('#menu').css("display") == "none"){
// $('#menu').css("display","block");
// } else {
// $('#menu').css("display","none");
// }
scroll(0,0);
}
//===========================//
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ACTIONS FOR THE is-loaded trick.
function isLoaded(){
$('#progress').remove();
}
//===========================//
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ACTIONS FOR THE HOME PAGE
if(newHash == ""){
$('body').append('<div id="progress">Loading...</div>');//attach this div which is made to look like a loading bubble.
$('#contentHere').load('index.html #content', isLoaded);//load the content div from the index.html file
}
//===========================//
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Load the clicked content into my container via jQuery AJAX
$('#menu a').click(function(){
menuShowHide();
window.location.hash = $(this).attr('href');
return false; //doesnt let the link jump to a new page
});
$(window).bind('hashchange',function(){
newHash = window.location.hash.substring(1);
$('body').append('<div id="progress">Loading...</div>');//attach this div which is made to look like a loading bubble.
$('#contentHere').load(newHash, isLoaded);
//console.log(newHash);
});
//===========================//
});
Anyone have any ideas as to whats making the menu break? Thanks in advanced.
The hashchange event is known to be unpredictable with the browsers back button.
Here's what's happening. When you back all the way to the beginning, the whole less.html page is being loaded into its own 'contentHere' container, and since document.ready won't be called on this subpage, no menuButton.click handler will be assigned to the links, so clicking them will not do anything.
Although being able to use your browsers back and forward buttons on asynchronous changes would be a neat feature, I don't think people would miss it enough for you to try to hack a workaround. People are used to not being able to use the back and forward button on asynchronously loaded content. They would try it once, see that it takes them to your site's referrer, hit forward, and subconciously make a mental note to use your menu instead of the back and forward buttons.
Probably a better suggestion, however, is to get rid of the AJAX feature altogether and let the links act the way that people expect them to. Okay, so you lose the cool 'Loading' modal and you save the user a tiny bit of time, but then you aren't confusing people's expectations about your interface.
Edit: to answer your question below, instead of using load() to get static content (which is overkill), put all of the content as sections in your less.html file and hide/unhide it using the menu selections. Here are two ways to accomplish this, each with their own advantages and disadvantages:
Fix your header with CSS (including the menu) (example: lifeinthegrid.com/simple-css-fixed-header/) and then make your menu links normal anchor links with no JavaScript event handler. When you click a link in the menu, the content jumps to that section and because your header is fixed, it has the feel of being a very fast httpRequest. Advantages: minimal JavaScript, the browser's back and forward buttons will work. Disadvantages: fixed elements are a nuisance on older smartphones, the next section might sneak into the bottom of the viewport and ruin the illusion. Solution: put more space between them.
The other method is to use show()/hide() on the different content sections. So let's say you click 'about us'. All of the sections are hidden and the 'about us' content is shown. Advantages: It's not as annoying as a fixed element, you can spice it up with FadeIn()/FadeOut() or other JQuery animation effects. Disadvantages: your browsers history will not track these changes unless you do some window.location hackery.
