I am trying to create a banner for the top of page, but haven't found any code yet that combines all of what I need. I have included an illustration of what I'm trying to do.
A) I have 4 buttons (each an image file), two to either side default image in the center. This is the main/inactive state.
All of the buttons would have similar animation when hovered over. For the sake of this question, I only illustrated two of the buttons.
B) If you hover over Box 1 (top left), the button would change and text and lines would slide out from left to right. Also, the center image would change. And, to make things extra challenging, the left button and center image would link to Page 1. When you move away, the text slides back to the left, and the image returns to the default state in A. The blue box would behave the same way, linking to Page 2.
C) In a similar manner, if you hover over Box 4 (bottom right), the button would change and text and lines would slide out from right to left. Also, the center image would change. The right button and center image would link to Page 4. When you move away, the text slides back to the right, and the image returns to the default state in A. The green box would behave in the same manner, linking to Page 3.
The closest I've found is this: jQuery image slide on hover effect (horizontal) I was thinking that if I used the static images of all (A) as a background image, maybe I could create a transparent sprite, with only the active version of the hovered button and the center image, to slide left or right on hover.
I can see how the above example might would work for Boxes 1 and 3 (top left and right) and give the illusion of the lines sliding out as the image slides either left or right, but I'm not sure how it would work for Boxes 2 and 4.
Am I on the right track, or am I asking for way more than what's possible in JQuery? I'd be fine with loosing the animated text (I could just make them part of the hover images), but the buttons and center image need to change on hover, and they need to link to a page.
I've made a widget in jQuery that was confused with flash before. I think you need to breakdown each element of your widget into discrete pieces. You are making a new widget. There will be no methods doing what you want. You will have to use the .animate() method explained here. http://api.jquery.com/animate/ You will be animating one CSS class to another CSS class using the .animate() method.
This page has a good primer on the animate method.
http://viralpatel.net/blogs/2010/03/understanding-jquery-animate-function.html
Here's what I would do:
I would make the HTML of the page you want.
I would create CSS of each style of box that you will have.
I would have all the same CSS directives on every box that will
animate. I have found the animate method more agreeable if all CSS
that is to be computed has the same parameters but with different
values.
I would use full resolution images in the 4 outer boxes.
I would animate the div containing the image, not the image itself.
I would make the image fill the div dynamically so that when I
changed the size of the div the image would be a gimmie.
I would work in firebug testing out different commands and see how
they behave. This is critical. The interactive javascript console
is your friend.
This is a big task... when you're done this will be a nice feather in your cap! Maybe after that you could turn it into a jQuery plugin for others to use!
I decided to mess around with this for a bit, here is what I whipped up so far. No links as yet, but for a half hour I don't feel too bad about that :)

I've got a little application that shows one photo in the middle of the page, some right/left buttons for changing the photo, and a flexslider at the bottom of the page having thumbnails of all available photos. Depending on the width of the browser, 4 to 10 thumbnails are visible at a time.
I want to synchronize the slider with the main photo. I've turned animation off. And when I click on something in the slider, the main photo updates. I've got this working.
But when I change which photo is shown using the right/left arrows, I want to update the slider so that the thumbnail for the main photo is shown, as in, move the slider right or left. I tried just manually changing (increment or decrement) the slider.animatingTo value, but that doesn't update the slider on the screen.
I've also tried, by modifying the jquery.flexslider.js file, putting one of the update methods onto the slider object (essentially making it public). But I'm not sure what the right function to call would be.
Any help would really be appreciated.
I found the solution:
slider.flexAnimate(slider.getTarget("prev"));
and
slider.flexAnimate(slider.getTarget("next"));
I'm attempting to make a webpage using fullpage.js, and have a very large background image. What I'd like to do is make it so that each time the user scrolls down, it also scrolls the background image down. Essentially, if the background image on section one starts at 0,0 and the screen is 750px tall, I'd like to make section two start at 0,750 on the background image.
Is there a way to do this that doesn't involve manually splitting the background image into a bunch of different images and assigning image one (from 0,0) to section one and image two (from 0,750) to section two, etc?
You can use the callbacks fullpage.js provides such as afterLoad or onLeave or even the class added to the body element with the form of "fp-viewing-1-2`.
Check out this video tutorial I created with a similar topic. Just apply the same principle.
I want to create custom banner or download one.
The banner has following requirement,
I could add images and text in this banner.
On each slide you can add multiple images and text, for an example slide one has two images and text on sides, then slide two has three images and text on the sides.
IMPORTANT – if the images are small thumbnails the text should fill the blank areas or around the image. The banner should be responsive to the element inside (could be an div). If the image is big the text should go underneath the
image or on the side.
slides left or right
left and right navigation button, as well pagination
Example: http://www.bbc.co.uk - main banner at the top
I had a look on the internet i tried the following:
flexslider - very good, meet all the requirements apart from point 3. but dont know how to make it responsive.
orbit slider - good but flexslider it easier to style.
Note: this banner will not be used on mobile device.
Seems like you didn't get any answers because there's no such thing as a perfect finished solution. It's not difficult to change any of the mentioned sliders and make them responsive IF you know some css. I'd suggest that, depending on how many of these works you want to do, you give it a try. You can find good free tutorials online.
I found this one plugin though, worth a try: http://marktyrrell.com/labs/blueberry/

I am trying to do something similar to expose from jQuery toolkit.
http://flowplayer.org/tools/demos/toolbox/expose/index.html
Except I am trying to use an image as a background and have the overlay over it and reveal only a portion of the image as 100% visible (kind of like a reverse highlight).
My current solution is:
I make an overlay on a image background div and make the z-index of the visible section div higher than that of the overlay. But since the background of the visible section div is transparent the div just shows the overlay. The way the plugins I have seen get around this is by setting the background of the visible section div to a color allowing that whole div to set above the overlay since I am using a pretty big image, I don't have the option to use a colored background on the div. I also don't want to show a cloned copy of the original image because these background images are huge.
I couldn't find any documentation of how to do this online. I'd appreciate any feedback I could get.
My suggestion would be to absolutize the element, set it to a relatively high z-index, then sit your faded layer below that, but still higher than any other content. It would give the appearance of the effect you want.
I have 4 images stacked on top of each other, see below:
I'm trying to achieve two things:
When the mouse is over an image that is in the background, that
image should come to the foreground with a fading effect. There is
also different text below each image, that text should come to the
foreground. (no fading needed there)
The result should be like this:
Every 10-15 seconds (without user input), the next image on the right should fade in
automatically.
Technically, I thought about putting each image and text into a separate div, and playing with the z-order. The fading effect could maybe be achieved using jquery, but I've not used that before, unfortunately.
Any example code, specific help or pointers is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Although it's impossible to control the fade of an element through his z-index
we can always trick what our eyes see.
DEMO GALLERY
To achieve that we can do:
Insert into our gallery a DIV element that will grab the src attribute of the current image and set it as his background image
hide the current image, position the DIV on this image .position()
fade our DIV in/out
reset image visibility
Let me know if you have some issues, I can comment my code to make clearer the steps I used.
Happy coding
Take a look at this plugin. Just explore it, this has got 100s of different effects which you might like to use in your case.
