adding html tags/semantics through js

So basically I have a simple system with a list, where when I choose one item it displays a description and an image binded to that item.
The project: https://jsfiddle.net/jhnjcddh/2/
The problem is that I need to add the text inside my JS, thus If I would want to add any tags like <b></b>; or such I would Incase that text inside there:
map.set(item1, {
desc: '<a href=''>Hello!</a>',
...
});
BUT The outcome of this is the full form so like this:
<a href=''>Hello!</a>
I tried putting it into a var and appending:
var text1 = '<a href=''>Hello!</a>'
map.set(item1, {
desc: text1,
...
});
..but that gives the same outcome.
THE CODE:
// -----------------START OF STYLING ELEMENT-----------------
var btns = document.getElementsByClassName("item");
for (var i = 0; i < btns.length; i++) {
btns[i].addEventListener("click", function() {
var siblings = this.parentNode.childNodes
siblings.forEach(function(element) {
if (element.className){ // && element.className.indexOf('active') !== -1) { // TAKIT: Removed, see suggestion below
if (element.classList.contains('active')) // TAKIT: Suggestion: Easier, and better readability!
element.classList.remove("active");
}
})
this.classList.add("active"); // TAKIT: Suggestion instead of this.className += " active";
});
}
// -----------------END OF STYLING ELEMENT-----------------
// -----------------START OF LOGIC ELEMENT-----------------
const map = new Map();
// register item element as a key and object with corresponding description / image as value
map.set(item1, {
desc: 'text1',
img: 'https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/980681269859241984/-4cD6ouV_400x400.jpg'

What am I doing wrong here? Why isn't this working?

You're setting everything through textContent.
Use innerHTML to allow tags being interpreted.
https://jsfiddle.net/pd6o0zfn/ (items7)

On line 70 of your Jsfiddle :
wrapper.querySelector('.description').textContent = map.get(event.target).desc; // TAKIT: Modified
You need to replace .textContent by .innerHTML as follow to keep your HTML formatting :
wrapper.querySelector('.description').innerHTML = map.get(event.target).desc; // TAKIT: Modified

Appending a 'Blade' into a Container without 'popping-down' existing ones

I am implementing a 'blades' experience in a page. When I append an additional Blade into the Container...the previous blades 'pop' down.
Q: How do I append a new element into view without effecting previous elements?
MY FIDDLE:
I created a JSFiddle...but the service is not currently available...I will append it shortly.
https://jsfiddle.net/PrisonerZ3RO/oynae1hd/4/#
MY CSS:
<style>
/** DASHBOARD CONTAINER **/
.dashboard-container { border-right: solid 1px #000; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; overflow-x: scroll; white-space: nowrap; width: 100%; }
.dashboard-container .widget { clear: both; display: inline-block; vertical-align: top; }
/** FORM CONTAINER **/
.form-container { border: 1px solid #ccc; border-radius: 3px; height: 500px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 5px; width: 500px; }
/** BLADE CONTAINER **/
.blade-container .blade { border: 1px solid #ccc; border-radius: 3px; display: inline-block; height: 506px; margin-right: 2px; padding: 2px; width: 200px; }
</style>
MY HTML:
<script id="tmplBlade" type="text/template">
<div class="blade">
Blade
</div>
</script>
<div class="dashboard-container">
<div class="widget">
<div class="form-container">
Form Controls go here
<input id="btnAppend" type="button" value="Append Blade" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="widget">
<div class="blade-container">
</div>
</div>
</div>
MY JAVASCRIPT:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
function PageController()
{
var that = this,
dictionary = {
elements: { btnAppend: null, bladeContainer: null },
selectors: { btnAppend: '#btnAppend', bladeContainer: '.blade-container', tmplBlade: '#tmplBlade' }
};
var initialize = function () {
// Elements
dictionary.elements.btnAppend = $(dictionary.selectors.btnAppend);
dictionary.elements.bladeContainer = $(dictionary.selectors.bladeContainer);
// Events
dictionary.elements.btnAppend.on('click', that.on.click.btnAppend);
};
this.on = {
click: {
btnAppend: function (e) {
var html = $(dictionary.selectors.tmplBlade).html().trim();
var $element = $(html);
$element.hide();
dictionary.elements.bladeContainer.prepend($element);
// Slide-in
$element.show('slide', { direction: 'left' });
}
}
};
initialize();
}
var pageController = new PageController();
});
</script>

I've come across this problem before. The only way I've found to get around it is to do the following:
1) Create a .hidden class width margin-left: -200px
2) Add a CSS transition on margin-left to the .blade class
3) Apply the .hidden class to a new blade
4) Show the new blade
5) Remove the .hidden class from the new blade
Please see the following fork of your fiddle for a working solution: https://jsfiddle.net/yxL4embt/

How do I append a new element into view without effecting previous elements?
I'm not sure if I entirely get what you're asking since you'll always be affecting the other elements by moving them over when you append a new element. You can, however, prevent the pop-down effect you're seeing. The .ui-effects-wrapperadded by jQuery UI is display: block, so add the following to your CSS:
.blade-container .ui-effects-wrapper {
display: inline-block !important;
}
Then make sure your other blades are always aligned to the top of your container:
.blade-container .blade {
...
...
vertical-align: top;
}
This will bump all the blades over (right) and allow a new blade to slide in from the left.

Trouble in synchronising and/or adding captions to images using caroufredsel plugin

I am new to this so please bear with me if my question is obviously stupid. I am trying to incorporate the slideshow as shown in this site using caroufredsel http://coolcarousels.frebsite.nl/c/48/
Now I needed to add captions to the images. so after trying to tweak the code unsuccessfully, I created a workaround where I created another carousel for just the captions and synchronized it with the main carousel. It worked that the captions appeared just fine but now I am not able to synchronize it with the click function/feature on the main carousel. if I comment the click function out , it works splendidly, but I need that click function. what am I doing wrong or is there an easier way to do what I want. I went thru the documentation and tried to incorporate a new div with id "item". but then the entire "pager" section disappears etc. I will include the full code here. thanks in advance for the help.
my css looks like this::
html, body {
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0px;

}
my html code looks like this::

</div>

And my script tag looks like::
$(function() {
var $carousel = $('#carousel'),
$pager = $('#pager');
// gather the thumbnails
var $thumb = $( '<div class="thumb" />' );
$carousel.children().each(function() {
var src = $(this).attr( 'src' );
$thumb.append( '<img src="' + src.split('/large/').join('/small/') + '" />' );
});
// duplicate the thumbnails
for (var a = 0; a < $carousel.children().length - 1; a++) {
$pager.append( $thumb.clone() );
}
// create large carousel
$carousel.carouFredSel({
items: {
visible: 1,
width: 580,
height: 350
},
//auto:false,/* temporary: to stop automatic scrolling */
scroll: {
fx: 'directscroll',
pauseOnHover:true,
duration: 500,
timeoutDuration: 5500,
onBefore: function( data ) {
var oldSrc = data.items.old.attr('src').split('/large/').join('/small/'),
newSrc = data.items.visible.attr('src').split('/large/').join('/small/'),
$t = $thumbs.find('img:first-child[src="' + newSrc + '"]').parent();
$t.trigger('slideTo', [$('img[src="' + oldSrc + '"]', $t), 'next']);
}
}
});
// create thumb carousels
var $thumbs = $('.thumb');
$thumbs.each(function( i ) {
$(this).carouFredSel({
auto: false,
scroll: {
fx: 'directscroll'
},
responsive:true,
items: {
start: i+1,
visible: 1,
width: 112,
height: 89.6
}
});
// click the carousel---> comment out this portion to disable the click function on small images
$(this).click(function() {
var src = $(this).children().first().attr('src').split('/small/').join('/large/');
$carousel.trigger('slideTo', [$('img[src="' + src + '"]', $carousel), 'next']);
});
});
// comment out the click function and uncomment this section of #texts to have a synchronised carousel with captions but no click function
$('#texts').carouFredSel({
items: 1,
direction: 'left',
responsive:true,
auto: {
play: true,
duration: 500,
easing: 'quadratic',
timeoutDuration: 5500
}
});
});
Now I used jquery version 1.8.2 and caroufredsel version 6.2.1. thanks again for the help in advance. sorry if my code looks messy as well.Latest update as of 3/22/2014:: I went thru the documentation of the plugin CarouFredSel and stumbled upon one of the settable parameters/ configurations called "synchronise". If I understood it right, I can synchronise 2 carousels to respond to the same event. So i added the line of code "synchronise:{"#carousel"} into the text carousel to tell it to synchronise it with the main carousel...
$('#texts').carouFredSel({
items: 1,
direction: 'left',
responsive:true,
synchronise:{"#carousel"},/*This is the new line I added*/
auto: {
play: true,
duration: 500,
easing: 'quadratic',
timeoutDuration: 5500
}
});
Unfortunately that did not work as well. Now there is no timing pattern as well. everytime I click the small image it just went ahead in position at a random rate. So I am still stuck with the same problem if not making it worse. Thanks for the help in advance.

After fighting with the problem for more than a week, I was able to figure out a solution to my problem. Now it may not be the best solution but it worked and hence I am posting it so that in future if somebody else has the same or similar problem, it may be of help.Now if anyone came up with a solution that works better, I would still like you to post it here for I may want to learn what you did, why you did it and learn from the experience. I dont claim to be an expert programmer. I am still learning and this site has been a great learning tool for me so far.Anyway coming back to the problem, I added this piece of code...
//sais try: synchronise texts and carousel to work together and on click
var index = $(this).triggerHandler( 'currentPosition' );
if ( index == 0 ) {
index = $(this).children().length;
}
// trigger the titles carousel
$('#texts').trigger('slideTo', [ index, 'next' ]);
right here...
// create large carousel
$carousel.carouFredSel({
items: {
visible: 1,
width: 580,
height: 350
},
//auto:false,/* temporary: to stop automatic scrolling */
scroll: {
fx: 'directscroll',
pauseOnHover:true,
duration: 500,
timeoutDuration: 3500,
onBefore: function( data ) {
var oldSrc = data.items.old.attr('src').split('/large/').join('/small/'),
newSrc = data.items.visible.attr('src').split('/large/').join('/small/'),
$t = $thumbs.find('img:first-child[src="' + newSrc + '"]').parent();
$t.trigger('slideTo', [$('img[src="' + oldSrc + '"]', $t), 'next']);
/* [ the code goes here!]*/
now with that i was able to synchronise the carousels (#carousel, #texts) together to work with the click function/feature as well. Also I had tried to synchronise the carousel using a synchronise function thats in carouFredSel. Well take that out. It did not work.I dont know if this is going to be useful to anyone else but if it did, thats great. But again if somebody came up with a better solution please do let me know as well. Thanks. Keep up the goo work

I want to make a custom dropdown menu so that's why I'm making it with divs. If you get on the site(deutsch language for example), you should see deutsch in the 'dropmenu',
but it doesn't happen because I can't hide/show it. For so far it works on the english one, because the first div won't hide( see my jquery for this ), the problem begins when I use the same script in boths headers.
Any help would be preciated! Thank you.

I know this is not the best way to do, but I'm moving in a dropmenu this way:
HTML:
<nav class="language">
<a id="languageSelected" href="javascript:void(0)"></a>
<ul id="Listlanguage"></ul>
</nav>
JS:
switch(window.location.href.split('/')[4].substr(0,2)){
case 'pt':
$('#Listlanguage').append(
'<li><a rel="en-us" href="/'+Site+'/en-us">en - us</a><li>'+
'<li><a rel="'+LinkEsp.replace(/\s+/g, '')+'" href="/'+Site+'/'+LinkEsp.replace(/\s+/g, '')+'">'+LinkEsp+'</a><li>'
);
break;
case 'en':
$('#Listlanguage').append(
'<li><a rel="pt-br" href="/'+Site+'/pt-br">pt - br</a><li>'+
'<li><a rel="'+LinkEsp.replace(/\s+/g, '')+'" href="/'+Site+'/'+LinkEsp.replace(/\s+/g, '')+'">'+LinkEsp+'</a><li>'
);
break;
case 'es':
$('#Listlanguage').append(
'<li><a rel="pt-br" href="/'+Site+'/pt-br">pt - br</a><li>'+
'<li><a rel="en-us" href="/'+Site+'/en-us">en - us</a><li>'
);
break;
default:
$('#Listlanguage').append(
'<li><a rel="pt-br" href="/'+Site+'/pt-br">pt - br</a><li>'+
'<li><a rel="en-us" href="/'+Site+'/en-us">en - us</a><li>'+
'<li><a rel="'+LinkEsp.replace(/\s+/g, '')+'" href="/'+Site+'/'+LinkEsp.replace(/\s+/g, '')+'">'+LinkEsp+'</a><li>'
);
break;
}
PS: I know, it's not pretty to see.

jQuery UI Snap to Element then Resize to fit container

https://jsfiddle.net/tk48ecxb/24/
Here is an example of the code I'm working with. It works fairly well with larger sizes but it breaks the small size boxes. Not sure why its moving them when removing resized boxes, that isn't happening in the actual project I'm working on. Need the boxes, which are actually svg's in the project, to fill the width of the larger boxes and not really be choppy or attach in weird ways.
Also, anyway to trigger an event when all boxes are filled?

snap: ".holder",
snapMode: "inner",
snapped: function(event, ui) {
var squareWidth = ui.snapElement.width();
var squareHeight = ui.snapElement.height();
ui.helper.css({width: squareWidth, height: squareHeight});
}
});

Now to figure out how to create a popup if all windows are filled.
