Is it possible without the help of a plugin to make a page scroll to a certain position on the click of a button?
Basically, if the user clicks a button a popup gets displayed in the center of the screen, if the user uses the button at the bottom of the page, the popup is sometimes out of view so I am wanting to couple the showing of the popup and scolling to the top of the popup on the clickup.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Using the CSS
position : fixed
is the best bet for your problem.
In case if you would like to know the way to scroll the page to certain position using jQuery then here it is.
Use jQuery's scrollTop() function in the following way.
jQuery(window).scrollTop(<position>);
Using jQuery to handle scrolling will also resolve any browser incompatibility.
You can get that effect with the scrollIntoView method. But it's probably better to centre your popup on the window rather than the document to avoid the problem in the first place ...
Sometimes lean and mean works nicely. No Plugins, No JQuery:
window.scrollTo()
Watch out for cross browser incompatibilities that might creep in. That's the point of JQuery ;)

I need some method to scroll Fancybox popup down or scroll to element which is in the popup (when the poopup opened obviosly)
I red the documenmtation buut did not find the way.
Many thanks.
There is no such built-in method and you can simply use plain JavaScript (or jQuery) to scroll your element wherever you want. Maybe you can simply trigger focus on your element and the browser will do the rest.
I am trying to make a page COMPLETELY UNCLICKABLE (both right click and left click) and to display a message when someone clicks. Since I know that this will raise lots of questions such as
"why would anyone ever want to do this...this is stupid...then nobody
can navigate the site...and it doesn't protect your content
anyway...etc"
here is the explanation of my purpose. I have a page that is at the moment only a graphic mockup of what the finished website will eventually look like. No matter how many times I explain that the mockup is ONLY AN IMAGE and not a real navigable website, they still email me to say that they cannot click on the menus and links. Since it is a single page mockup, I want to pop up an alert() message (can't use a modal because you can't click to dismiss it if clicking is disabled) to let them know that they have clicked something non-functional. I am trying to do this in as few lines of code as possible, and have the following working at the moment:
<script>
$('html').mousedown(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();//To prevent following the link
alert('Demo Graphic Only...clicking on stuff will NOT work at this point.');
});
</script>
The issue is that when using .mousedown I capture the user trying to click on the browser scroll-bar to scroll down. I was surprised by this since it is not part of the actual PAGE CONTENT but rather a part of the BROWSER...but it is catching it nonetheless. I tried using .click in place of .mousedown however only seem to catch a normal (left) click in that case... Does anyone know how to easily (minimal lines of code if possible) capture the left AND right click event, but allow user interaction with the browser scrollbar?
Try this :
$(document).click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();//To prevent following the link
console.log('Demo Graphic Only...clicking on stuff will NOT work at this point.');
});
This Function will be called when click is made on the page , not on the Scrollbars
Try to use
event.stopPropagation();
or
event.stopImmediatePropagation()
For people who come across this question, an alternative approach, good especially if you need to prevent mousedown specifically:
Put the scrolling content in a wrapper element and prevent mousedown only on the inner element. Set the wrapper element to overflow: auto; height: 100%;
We are developing a site with fluid layout (so it works on mobile too), that adjusts itself when resizing the window.
Everything is ok but an area when we use fancybox to zoom the images.
What I want it to disable fancybox when I call our "mobile ajusts" function (triggered by window.resize already) on our gallery, and re-enable it again when when going back to the "desktop" version.
I've tried a lot of things like preventDefault on 'click', using the $('.case-gallery a').fancybox($.fancybox.cancel) and stuff like that, but it seems that as fancybox is already stored in the DOM element, I'm not being able to disable it and enable it again on the fly - and my knowledge of JS is not really advanced.
Any help?
try this to listen to fancybox onStart event and then use $.fancybox.cancel() (don't forget (). It's a function).
I have the same problem, and here is my current working thought:
jQuery check if event exists on element
use this answer to check a variable property to the DOM... like check if DOM.style.whatever > 10. just my working thought. I have a site that has a carousel of products in DIVs, and i want the not-displayed products to not be clickable based on their DIVs opacity. I'll repost in a day if i figure it out.
I would like to have a browser window stay on top of other windows similar to the "showModeLessDialog()" method. What I dont like about the "showModeLessDialog()" method is that once the user moves to another page the modeless dialog box disappears.
To get around the closing of the browser window by just opening the browser window through window.open() but the one feature im lacking that I really want is the stay on top featured.
Any ideas on how to accomplish that? The showModeLessDialog is doing it...
Also, Im well aware of various opinions on the subject of forcing windows to stay on top so no need to remind me. I have a good reason for this I assure you. :-)
Are you using javascript for popup window,
http://javascript-array.com/scripts/window_open/
you can set these parameters top=20,left=20
I want to implement a similar functionality like Template Monster's menu. I am trying to create a feature list which slides down when the user clicks on the feature. But if the link is at the bottom of the page and the user clicks on that link, the feature list is shown below the view area and the user doesn't know that it is open until he manually scrolls the browser window down.
I want to incorporate a functionality that if the feature list is not in the viewable area, the browser window automatically scrolls down to show the full list (templatemonster.com has done so with their drop down menus).
Can anybody help me?
Thanks,
Gaurav
The website which you reference is using the Prototype JavaScript framework with Scriptaculous for it's visual effects. These libraries make this sort of task much easier as there are built in controls to achieve, more or less, exactly what you want.
If you want something to slide down when a user clicks on it; you should be thinking about the event click and effect slide down Check out the demo in the manual for this.
The second aspect of scrolling can be achieved using these libraries too. Again, checkout the demo in the manual for this too. Essentially, you need to use an anchor tag to mark the point on the page where the feature exists, and then use the scrollto effect to take you to that poision on the page.
Hope this sets you on the right path.
