So. I've been trying to create a simple piece of text that fades in when the page loads. I've explored a lot hear on Stack Overflow and also considered this:
http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/tryit.asp?filename=tryjquery_fadein
I even looked into using a window.onload, not to mention this:
<body onload="$("#fadein p.desktoptheme").delay(1000).animate({"opacity": "1"}, 700);">
But the fade in won't work. The text never displays.
I have the opacity for the element set as 0 (using CSS).
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#fadein p.desktoptheme").delay(1000).animate({"opacity": "1"}, 700);
</script>
One moar thing: The text that's placed inside the <p class="desktoptheme"></p> tag is generated with PHP. It could be that PHP is server-side while JavaSciprt is client-side. If so, what do I use? A delay? AJAX?
Any thoughts?
When using jQuery you will always want to put your DOM manipulating code inside jQuery´s .ready(function()), or else your code will fire before the page was successfully loaded
Example:
<script type="text/javascript">
$( document ).ready(function() {
$("#fadein p.desktoptheme").delay(1000).animate({"opacity": "1"}, 700);
});
</script>
For a more elegant solution, you may also consider using CSS animations do get the same effect.
Check out this link for more information on fading in elements with CSS.
To place server-side content in a page rendered with PHP, provided your text is available before the page is loaded, you just need to echo the variable mixed with your HTML.
Example:
<p class="desktoptheme"><?php echo "Hello world"; ?></p>
Any text that you stick inside of your element with PHP will already be there when javascript runs--as you said, PHP is server side, javascript is client side. So you don't need to worry about that.
I see you're using jQuery, so you should be looking at $(document).ready(). This function executes some javascript after the page has finished loading. For example:
JS:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.fadein').animate({'opacity' : 1}, 700);
})
HTML:
<p class='fadein'>
This is some text that will fade in.
</p>
CSS:
.fadein {
opacity: 0;
}
Here's a JSFiddle so you can play around with it some more. Notice that the class of the paragraph (fadein) has to match your jQuery selector $('.fadein') and your css selector .fadein.
Fiddle
I have a function which does just that. It looks a bit like a jQuery fade(), but it's bog-standard JavaScript and can be used with or without an on-completion callback function.
/* fade.In(), fade.Out():
el = element object
dur = duration milliseconds
fn = callback function
*/
var fade = {
In: function(el, dur, fn) {
var time = Math.round(dur / 10);
function fader(t, e, v) {
if (v < 1) {
e.style.opacity = v;
setTimeout(function () {
fader(t, e, parseFloat((v += 0.1).toFixed(2)));
}, t);
} else {
e.style.opacity = '1';
if (fn) fn();
}
}
if (el.style.display === 'none') el.style.display = 'block';
el.style.opacity = '0';
fader(time, el, 0);
},
Out: function(el, dur, fn) {
var time = Math.round(dur / 10);
function fader(t, e, v) {
if (v > 0) {
e.style.opacity = v;
setTimeout(function () {
fader(t, e, parseFloat((v -= 0.1).toFixed(2)));
}, t);
} else {
el.style.opacity = '0';
e.style.display = 'none';
if (fn) fn();
}
};
fader(time, el, 1);
}
};
/* Usage */
var elem1 = document.getElementById('id1');
var elem2 = document.getElementById('id2');
// fade in with callback
fade.In(elem1, 500, function() {
// ... do something after fade in ...
});
// fade out without callback
fade.Out(elem2, 666);
Works best for relatively fast transitions: c.500ms +|- 200 (ish).
For you purposes just call the fade.In() function on the chosen element on page load.
Hope that helped. :)
Check out animate.css. Put this in your head:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/animate.css/3.5.1/animate.css">
Then add
animated fadeIn
to your class:
<p class="desktoptheme animated fadeIn"></p>
If you want it to animate when you scroll to the element check out WOW.js
I would highly recommend using a js library called velocity to help with css animations.
If I follow you right, it would look something like this...
css
p.desktoptheme {
display: none;
opacity: none;
}
jquery
$(function(){
$('p.desktoptheme').velocity('fadeIn', {
'duration': 300,
'delay': 1000,
'complete': function(){
// all done!
}
});
});
I use .mouseenter() and .mouseleave() to make an animation to my button.The problem is that when I move my cursor across the button multiple times it keeps repeating the animation .For .mouseenter() I want it to complete the animation once the cursor keeps hovering over it till the animation time is complete and if it leaves the button before the animation is complete the animation should stop.For .mouseleave() the animation should stop if the cursor hovers over it before the animation is complete.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#button').mouseenter(function(){
$(this).animate({backgroundColor:'#ffce00',width:'+=1em'},100);
});
$('#button').mouseleave(function(){
$(this).animate({backgroundColor:'#1e7989',width:'-=1em'},100);
});
});
#button{
width:100px;
height:50px;
background-color:red;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery.color-animation/1/mainfile"></script>
<div id="button"></div>
You can use flags for entering and leaving. Then check the appropriate flag, and finish the current animation when an enter/leave event occurs, something like this:
$(document).ready(function () {
var isEntering = false, // Create flags
isLeaving = false;
$('#button').mouseenter(function () {
isEntering = true; // Set enter flag
if (isLeaving) { // Check, if leaving is on process
$(this).finish(); // If leaving, finish it
isLeaving = false; // Reset leaving flag
}
$(this).animate({
backgroundColor: '#ffce00',
width: '+=1em'
}, 100);
});
$('#button').mouseleave(function () {
isLeaving = true; // Set leave flag
if (isEntering) { // Check if entering is on process
$(this).finish(); // If it is, finish it
isEntering = false; // Reset enter flag
}
$(this).animate({
backgroundColor: '#1e7989',
width: '-=1em'
}, 100);
});
});
A live demo at jsFiddle.
Try adding .stop(), it will stop the animations from queueing.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#button').mouseenter(function(){
$(this).stop().animate({backgroundColor:'#ffce00',width:'+=1em'},100);
});
$('#button').mouseleave(function(){
$(this).stop().animate({backgroundColor:'#1e7989',width:'-=1em'},100);
});
});
Regards,
Gados
If you only want it to run one time you can unbind it after the event fires:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#button').mouseenter(function(){
$(this).animate({backgroundColor:'#ffce00',width:'+=1em'},100);
$(this).unbind('mouseenter');
});
$('#button').mouseleave(function(){
$(this).animate({backgroundColor:'#1e7989',width:'-=1em'},100);
$(this).unbind('mouseleave');
});
});
Is it possible to trigger a function mid way through an animation?
The animation includes a solid block which swipes over an image from top to bottom - I would like to trigger a function at the point that the image is completely covered and remove the image from the html (mid way through the animation)
My current function is -
function animateCover() {
$('#cover').animate({ bottom: '1400px'}, 4000, function() { });
}
The image is completely covered at 800px point - can I access this property to trigger a function?
since there isn't a tick counter in jQuery, you need to "emulate" it:
function animateCover() {
var
$cover = $('#cover'),
interval = setInterval(function(){
if ($cover.is(':animated')){
if (parseInt($cover.css('bottom')) > 800){
alert('trigger');
clearInterval(interval);
}
} else {
clearInterval(interval);
}
}, 13); // 13 is the minimum possible in Javascript
$cover.animate({ bottom: '1400px'}, 4000, function() { $cover.text('done'); });
}
jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/emV4p/1/
What about splitting the animation into 2.
function animateCover() {
$('#cover').animate({ bottom: '700px'}, 2000, function() {
$('#imgID').hide();
$('#cover').animate({ bottom: '1400px'}, 2000 );
});
}
Updated: Here's a perfectly working solution with minimal code-
WORKING DEMO
jQuery-
$(document).ready(function(){
setInterval(function(){
$("#image").css('background-image','none');
},2000);
$("#block").animate({
bottom:'400px'
},3000);
});
What is an easy way to make text blinking in jQuery and a way to stop it? Must work for IE, FF and Chrome. Thanks
A plugin to blink some text sounds a bit like overkill to me...
Try this...
$('.blink').each(function() {
var elem = $(this);
setInterval(function() {
if (elem.css('visibility') == 'hidden') {
elem.css('visibility', 'visible');
} else {
elem.css('visibility', 'hidden');
}
}, 500);
});
Try using this blink plugin
For Example
$('.blink').blink(); // default is 500ms blink interval.
//$('.blink').blink(100); // causes a 100ms blink interval.
It is also a very simple plugin, and you could probably extend it to stop the animation and start it on demand.
here's blinking with animation:
$(".blink").animate({opacity:0},200,"linear",function(){
$(this).animate({opacity:1},200);
});
just give a blink class whatever u want to blink:
<div class="someclass blink">some text</div>
all regards to DannyZB on #jquery
features:
doesn't need any plugins (but JQuery itself)
does the thing
If you'd rather not use jQuery, this can be achieved with CSS3
#-webkit-keyframes blink {
from { opacity: 1.0; }
to { opacity: 0.0; }
}
blink {
-webkit-animation-name: blink;
-webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
-webkit-animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(1.0,0,0,1.0);
-webkit-animation-duration: 1s;
}
Seems to work in Chrome, though I thought I heard a slight sobbing noise.
Combine the codes above, I think this is a good solution.
function blink(selector){
$(selector).animate({opacity:0}, 50, "linear", function(){
$(this).delay(800);
$(this).animate({opacity:1}, 50, function(){
blink(this);
});
$(this).delay(800);
});
}
At least it works on my web.

Here's mine ; it gives you control over the 3 parameters that matter:
the fade in speed
the fade out speed
the repeat speed
.
setInterval(function() {
$('.blink').fadeIn(300).fadeOut(500);
}, 1000);
You can also use the standard CSS way (no need for JQuery plugin, but compatible with all browsers):
// Start blinking
$(".myblink").css("text-decoration", "blink");
// Stop blinking
$(".myblink").css("text-decoration", "none");
W3C Link
This is the EASIEST way (and with the least coding):
setInterval(function() {
$( ".blink" ).fadeToggle();
}, 500);
Fiddle
Now, if you are looking for something more sophisticated...
//Blink settings
var blink = {
obj: $(".blink"),
timeout: 15000,
speed: 1000
};
//Start function
blink.fn = setInterval(function () {
blink.obj.fadeToggle(blink.speed);
}, blink.speed + 1);
//Ends blinking, after 'blink.timeout' millisecons
setTimeout(function () {
clearInterval(blink.fn);
//Ensure that the element is always visible
blink.obj.fadeIn(blink.speed);
blink = null;
}, blink.timeout);
Fiddle
You can also try these:
<div>some <span class="blink">text</span> are <span class="blink">blinking</span></div>
<button onclick="startBlink()">blink</button>
<button onclick="stopBlink()">no blink</button>
<script>
function startBlink(){
window.blinker = setInterval(function(){
if(window.blink){
$('.blink').css('color','blue');
window.blink=false;
}
else{
$('.blink').css('color','white');
window.blink = true;
}
},500);
}
function stopBlink(){
if(window.blinker) clearInterval(window.blinker);
}
</script>
$.fn.blink = function(times, duration) {
times = times || 2;
while (times--) {
this.fadeTo(duration, 0).fadeTo(duration, 1);
}
return this;
};
Here you can find a jQuery blink plugin with its quick demo.
Basic blinking (unlimited blinking, blink period ~1 sec):
$('selector').blink();
On a more advanced usage, you can override any of the settings:
$('selector').blink({
maxBlinks: 60,
blinkPeriod: 1000, // in milliseconds
onBlink: function(){},
onMaxBlinks: function(){}
});
There you can specify the max number of blinks as well as have access to a couple of callbacks: onBlink and onMaxBlinks that are pretty self explanatory.
Works in IE 7 & 8, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and probably in IE 6 and Opera (although haven't tested on them).
(In full disclosure: I'm am the creator of this previous one. We had the legitimate need to use it at work [I know we all like to say this :-)] for an alarm within a system and I thought of sharing only for use on a legitimate need ;-)).
Here is another list of jQuery blink plugins.
this code is work for me
$(document).ready(function () {
setInterval(function(){
$(".blink").fadeOut(function () {
$(this).fadeIn();
});
} ,100)
});
You can try the jQuery UI Pulsate effect:
http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Effects/Pulsate
Easiest way:
$(".element").fadeTo(250, 0).fadeTo(250,1).fadeTo(250,0).fadeTo(250,1);
You can repeat this as much as you want or you can use it inside a loop. the first parameter of the fadeTo() is the duration for the fade to take effect, and the second parameter is the opacity.
$(".myblink").css("text-decoration", "blink");
do not work with IE 7 & Safari. Work well with Firefox
This stand-alone solution will blink the text a specified number of times and then stop.
The blinking uses opacity, rather than show/hide, fade or toggle so that the DIV remains clickable, in case that's ever an issue (allows you to make buttons with blinking text).

I was going to post the steps-timed polyfill, but then I remembered that I really don’t want to ever see this effect, so…
function blink(element, interval) {
var visible = true;
setInterval(function() {
visible = !visible;
element.style.visibility = visible ? "visible" : "hidden";
}, interval || 1000);
}
I feel the following is of greater clarity and customization than other answers.
var element_to_blink=$('#id_of_element_to_blink');
var min_opacity=0.2;
var max_opacity=1.0;
var blink_duration=2000;
var blink_quantity=10;
var current_blink_number=0;
while(current_blink_number<blink_quantity){
element_to_blink.animate({opacity:min_opacity},(blink_duration/2),"linear");
element_to_blink.animate({opacity:max_opacity},(blink_duration/2),"linear");
current_blink_number+=1;
}
This code will effectively make the element(s) blink without touching the layout (like fadeIn().fadeOut() will do) by just acting on the opacity ; There you go, blinking text ; usable for both good and evil :)
setInterval(function() {
$('.blink').animate({ opacity: 1 }, 400).animate({ opacity: 0 }, 600);
}, 800);
Blinking !
var counter = 5; // Blinking the link 5 times
var $help = $('div.help');
var blinkHelp = function() {
($help.is(':visible') ? $help.fadeOut(250) : $help.fadeIn(250));
counter--;
if (counter >= 0) setTimeout(blinkHelp, 500);
};
blinkHelp();
This code might help to this topic. Simple, yet useful.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){

});
</script>
I like alex's answer, so this is a bit of an extension of that without an interval (since you would need to clear that interval eventually and know when you want a button to stop blinking. This is a solution where you pass in the jquery element, the ms you want for the blinking offset and the number of times you want the element to blink:
function blink ($element, ms, times) {
for (var i = 0; i < times; i++) {
window.setTimeout(function () {
if ($element.is(':visible')) {
$element.hide();
} else {
$element.show();
}
}, ms * (times + 1));
}
}
Some of these answers are quite complicated, this is a bit easier:
$.fn.blink = function(time) {
var time = typeof time == 'undefined' ? 200 : time;
this.hide(0).delay(time).show(0);
}
$('#msg').blink();
Seeing the number of views on this question, and the lack of answers that cover both blinking and stopping it, here goes: try jQuery.blinker out (demo).
HTML:
<p>Hello there!</p>
JavaScript:
var p = $("p");
p.blinker();
p.bind({
// pause blinking on mouseenter
mouseenter: function(){
$(this).data("blinker").pause();
},
// resume blinking on mouseleave
mouseleave: function(){
$(this).data("blinker").blinkagain();
}
});
Indeed a plugin for a simple blink effect is overkill. So after experimenting with various solutions, I have choosen between one line of javascript and a CSS class that controls exactly how I want to blink the elements (in my case for the blink to work I only need to change the background to transparent, so that the text is still visible):
JS:
$(document).ready(function () {
setInterval(function () { $(".blink").toggleClass("no-bg"); }, 1000);
});
CSS:
span.no-bg {
background-color: transparent;
}
Full example at this js fiddle.
Blink functionality can be implemented by plain javascript, no requirement for jquery plugin or even jquery.
This will work in all the browsers, as it is using the basic functionality
Here is the code
HTML:
<p id="blinkThis">This will blink</p>
JS Code:
var ele = document.getElementById('blinkThis');
setInterval(function () {
ele.style.display = (ele.style.display == 'block' ? 'none' : 'block');
}, 500);
and a working fiddle
This is what ended up working best for me. I used jQuery fadeTo because this is on WordPress, which already links jQuery in. Otherwise, I probably would have opted for something with pure JavaScript before adding another http request for a plugin.
$(document).ready(function() {
// One "blink" takes 1.5s
setInterval(function(){
// Immediately fade to opacity: 0 in 0ms
$(".cursor").fadeTo( 0, 0);
// Wait .75sec then fade to opacity: 1 in 0ms
setTimeout(function(){
$(".cursor").fadeTo( 0, 1);
}, 750);
}, 1500);
});
I have written a simple jquery extension for text blink whilst specifying number of times it should blink the text, Hope it helps others.
//add Blink function to jquery
jQuery.fn.extend({
Blink: function (i) {
var c = i; if (i===-1 || c-- > 0) $(this).fadeTo("slow", 0.1, function () { $(this).fadeTo("slow", 1, function () { $(this).Blink(c); }); });
}
});
//Use it like this
$(".mytext").Blink(2); //Where 2 denotes number of time it should blink.
//For continuous blink use -1
$(".mytext").Blink(-1);
Text Blinking start and stop on button click -
<input type="button" id="btnclick" value="click" />
var intervalA;
var intervalB;
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#btnclick').click(function () {
blinkFont();
setTimeout(function () {
clearInterval(intervalA);
clearInterval(intervalB);
}, 5000);
});
});
function blinkFont() {
document.getElementById("blink").style.color = "red"
document.getElementById("blink").style.background = "black"
intervalA = setTimeout("blinkFont()", 500);
}
function setblinkFont() {
document.getElementById("blink").style.color = "black"
document.getElementById("blink").style.background = "red"
intervalB = setTimeout("blinkFont()", 500);
}
</script>
<div id="blink" class="live-chat">
<span>This is blinking text and background</span>
</div>
