Automatically Animate/Scroll A Div Horizontally On Page Load

I have a seemingly basic question that I can't find any resources in what I am trying to acheive. I'm new to JavaScript and fairly mediocre at CSS.
What I am trying to accomplish is this. A page which can be displayed on a TV screen showing a list of sports results, overflowing to the right. I want the page to automatically scroll that div across to the right (which has a dynamic length depending on the amount of content) so it can see all the scores across all divisions and automaticaly scroll content to the right. When it reaches the end, pause, and then refresh (using Ajax) snapping back to the beginning.
I'm sure if I can be pointed in the direction of the right functions to use I can hook the various parts together.
Here's an example of something I am trying to run on page load that I'd like to scroll smoothly to the end over the course of 10 seconds, I just can't work out how to identify/set the "end" of the div.
$('#ScrollMe').animate({
scrollX: ??? //To div end;
}, 10000);
I think if I can solve this part, I can solve the rest.
Any pointers? Javascript, CSS.... open to anything!

You can use the .scrollWidth property to determine how far to scroll, subtracting the visible width will give a more accurate end point, eg:
(styles and animation time set to 2s, just to demonstrate what's happening)
$("#scrollMe").animate({
scrollLeft: ($("#scrollMe")[0].scrollWidth - $("#scrollMe").width()) + "px"
}, 2000);
#scrollMe { width: 100%; border:1px solid blue; overflow:auto; }
#inner { width: 6000px; border:5px solid red; height:20px; }
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id=scrollMe>
<div id=inner>
</div>
</div>

You just need to apply overflow: scroll css propertie, to the div you want to "overflow" the page width. So it will add a bar below the div, such as the default scrolling bar of every browser.
parentDivWithContentToOverflow{
Overflow: scroll;
}

This is a great example of what you need.

But you need to specify the div to achieve this.
If your requirement is only to scroll to the end of the page(which is right), then you can use your example. But you need to specify the pixel location to scroll to right. For that, you might need something like the below.
function getWidth(){
return Math.max(document.body.scrollWidth,
document.documentElement.scrollWidth,
document.body.offsetWidth,
document.documentElement.offsetWidth,
document.documentElement.clientWidth);
}
The above code snippet was stolen from this answer 😁

Bootstrap - Switching between Div with Jquery

So I'm using bootstrap as my responsive framework and I have a container, row I also have two div's that I'm going to be switching between using a button. So I setup my HTML and my second div I set the display to "none" to hide it. However when using Jquery fadeIn/fadeOut you can see there is some shifting/expanding in terms of the Height.
Now I think to get around this I have to set the position to Absolute and also change the z-index of the first and second div so one is hidden behind the other. Using absolute however breaks the bootstrap container... So is there a way to switch the Div without the shifting in height when the button is clicked. Added some source so you can see what happens when to buttons are clicked.

Try this:
http://www.bootply.com/PIG2icyErI
Relevant CSS:
.row {
position: relative;
padding-top: 50px;
}
#content-one, #content-two {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
top: 0;
}

Alternative to side slider animated by position

I am using a div that slides out when you click on it.
Here are some images of what I am trying to achieve:
This is the Div, collapsed by default
This is the Div after it is slid out (highlighted)
This is what happens after screen size is changed. The clickable div is present behind content Which I wish to avoid.
My Div's CSS:
.sliderDiv {
z-index: -10;
position: relative;
left: 200px;
width: 240px;
}
I use this command to slide it out on click:
slideItOut:function(){
var divsize=$(".sliderDiv").offset().left-150;
if(divsize>100){
$(".sliderDiv").animate({
"left":"-=194px"
},"slow");
}
else{
$(".sliderDiv").animate({
"left":"+=194px"
},"slow");
}
}
The problem is when you resize, it is not responsive at all and the div actually hides behind other content. Maybe this method is not supposed to be responsive.
Is there a way to make the same "slider" responsive or atleast hold its position while the screen size is changed?
I want to know of any way in which I could resize my window or screen and the div remains in same area as the 1st two images.
Also, this is being implemented in a modal. So its not exactly in a fixed area of the screen.

It won't solve without your full source code, I think. You should give its source code or put somewhere. Then, I try to fix. Or, I can offer optimum way

Fixed div as background on mobile devices

I want to use a div as a background for a website.
If I use position:fixed and set the width & size to the viewport size the design breaks on mobile devices/tablets as they do not support the fixed position.
What's the best way to set a div as a static background, so that it works on mobile devices too?

I'm not entirely sure how you intend to use the background, but I created a loose way to do this here. The tacky background is applied to a div the size of the screen, and it will not move (as long as you're careful with what you put inside it). However, the same effect could be done just by direct styles on the body - I'm not sure what exactly you need the div for, so I can't guarantee this technique will work for your use case.
How it Works
With disclaimers out of the way, here are a few details on how it works. All content will have to appear within two divs: one outer one that has the background, and an inner one to hold all of the content. The outer one is set to the size of the page and can have the background applied to it. The inner one then is set to the size of the parent, and all overflow is set to scroll. Since the outer one has no scrollbar, any interior content that exceeds the size of the background tag will cause a scrollbar to appear as though it were on the whole page, not just on a section of it. In effect, this then recreates what the body is on the average web page within the "content" div.
If you have any specific question on the styles, let me know and I'll flesh out the mechanics in more detail.
With jQuery
I suppose there's still one remaining option: use similar style rules, but absent the ability to nest everything within the background, instead prepend it, and change it's position whenever the user scrolls, like so.
Then, just inject this code:
<style>
#bg {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
background-image: url(http://cdn6.staztic.com/cdn/logos/comsanzenpattern-2.png:w48h48);
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
}
</style>
<script>
$("body").prepend("<div id='bg'></div>");
$(document).on("scroll", function () {
$("#bg").css("top", $(document).scrollTop())
.css("left", $(document).scrollLeft());
});
</script>
modifying the style rules for the background div accordingly, and you should be good. It will not have a good framerate since this will always appear after the scroll paint, but you're running low on options if you have so little control over the rest of the document structure and style.

You don't have to use jquery. I was able to get this effect with just CSS.
You set the div just below the initial tag. Then apply the image to the html within the div. Give the div and id attribute as well (#background_wrap in this case).
...I tried this without applying the actual image link within the html and it never worked properly because you still have to use "background-image:" attribute when applying the image to the background within css. The trick to getting this to work on the mobile device is not using any background image settings. These values were specific for my project but it worked perfectly for my fixed background image to remain centered and responsive for mobile as well as larger computer viewports. Might have to tweak the values a bit for your specific project, but its worth a try! I hope this helps.
<body>
<div id="background_wrap"><img src="~/images/yourimage.png"/></div>
</body>
Then apply these settings in the CSS.
#background_wrap {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
#background_wrap img {
z-index: -1;
position: fixed;
padding-top: 4.7em;
padding-left: 10%;
width: 90%;
}

Nivo Slider Thumbnail / ControlNav not positioning inside slider

This is the first time i'm trying out Nivo Slider, so bear with me here --
I'm trying to position my controlNav thumbnails INSIDE the slider (I want it in the center, 15px from the bottom of the slider), but so far using position:absolute and left and top attributes just make the entire positioning of the thumbnails position around the body instead of the slider.
Am I doing something wrong? I'm looking online for solutions but I just can't find any. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong keywords?
The site I'm testing it out with is [link removed]. I've reset the thumbnails to the original centered below slider layout, if you want to fiddle with it inside the console it'll be easier.

If when you say "thumbnails", you mean the small pager icons then you can change the css to:
#front-showcase .nivo-controlNav {
z-index: 10;
position: relative;
bottom: 40px;
}
Here I removed display:block and you can adjust the 40px to what ever will suit your layout needs.

In your CSS, set the positioning properties on .nivo-control instead of nivo-controlNAV.
This worked for me by adding to your <head>:
<style type="text/css">
.nivo-control {
position:relative;
top:-45px;
}
</style>

Ah, looks like i've found the answer with help from #aditya and #mToce's answers.
Seems that I forgot about positioning the #front-showcase as a relative element, thus making the controlNav position itself with the body element instead of the slider element.
For more information, read this :
http://css-tricks.com/absolute-positioning-inside-relative-positioning/
I've solved the thing by entering position:relative; inside my #front-showcase, and entering position:absolute; inside .controlNav.
Hope this helps!
