I'm trying to do a simple rotating image on the home page. Under the hood I'm reading a directory and then populating urls for the images into an array. What I want to do is cross-fade the images. If it was just a matter of showing the next one, it's easy, but since I need to cross-fade, it's a bit harder. I think what I want to do is do the fades by calling animate() on the opacity value of the <img> tag, and in between swapping out the css background-image property of the enclosing <div>. But the results are not that great.
I've used tools for more full featured slideshows, but I don't want the overhead of adding a plugin if I can avoid it, and a simple crossfade seems like it should be easier.
Here's my JavaScript (I'm using jQuery 1.3.2):
var slideshow_images = ["http:\/\/example.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/testtheme\/sidebar-home-bg\/bg1.jpg","http:\/\/example.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/testtheme\/sidebar-home-bg\/bg2.jpg","http:\/\/example.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/testtheme\/sidebar-home-bg\/bg3.jpg"];
var slideshow_index = 0;
var delay = 4000;
var swapSlides = function() {
var slideshow_count = slideshow_images.length;
// initialize the background to be the current image
$('#home-slideshow').css({
'background-image': 'url(' + slideshow_images[slideshow_index] + ')',
'background-repeat:': 'no-repeat',
'width': 200,
'overflow': 'hidden'
});
slideshow_index = ((slideshow_index + 1) == slideshow_count) ? 0 : slideshow_index + 1;
// fade out the img
$('#home-slideshow img').animate({opacity: 0}, delay);
// now, the background is visible
// next change the url on the img
$('#home-slideshow img').attr('src', slideshow_images[slideshow_index]);
// and fade it up
$('#home-slideshow img').animate({opacity: 1.0}, delay);
// do it again
setTimeout('swapSlides()', 4000);
}
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
if (swapSlides) {
swapSlides();
}
});
And here's the markup I'm using:
<div id="home-slideshow"><img src="http://example.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/testtheme/sidebar-home-bg/bg1.jpg" alt="" /></div>
The first thing that you should be aware of and that must be causing problems with your code : the animate methods are not synchronous ! So when you do :
$('#home-slideshow img').animate({opacity: 0}, delay);
// now, the background is visible
// next change the url on the img
$('#home-slideshow img').attr('src', slideshow_images[slideshow_index]);
You start to animate, but the method immediately returns. You can imagine the animation as a background thread , although there is no such thing as a thread in JavaScript and everything is implemented using settimeout calls.
So in your code, at the moment you change the src attribute, the image is probably still 99% visible. And then you start to animate it back to 100% opacity, but at this point it is still at say 98%, and the two "threads" will try to simultaneously make it appear/disappear !
So in your code will need to either set timeouts to execute the tasks in the correct order (always leaving a few milliseconds of margin inbetween), or, safer but maybe less readable when you have many successive function calls, use the callback function of the animate method. For example :
$('#home-slideshow img').animate({opacity: 0}, delay, function(){
// now, the background is visible
// next change the url on the img
$('#home-slideshow img').attr('src', slideshow_images[slideshow_index]);
// and fade it up
$('#home-slideshow img').animate({opacity: 1.0}, delay, function(){
// do it again
setTimeout('swapSlides()', 4000);
});
});
Finally, what you are doing is a fade-out + fade in. If you want a real cross fade you'll need to have 2 element simultaneously at some point :
start : there is only one element, with opacity 100%
build your new element with the right url for the background image (or use an img element)
add the new element to the dom tree with opacity 0%, as a sibling to the existing one
start to animate simultaneously the opacity of the current element from 100% to 0% and the opacity of the new element from 0% to 100%
remove the old, now invisible element
try this:

$('#home-slideshow img:gt(0)').hide();

3000);
});

I have been trying to make a random image appear on click by adding a fadeOut effect and then removing the class. when I click it works fine, but I don't know how to remove the class after a few milliseconds and then being able to appear again on another click. so far I have just been able to make it fade out on click, I have tried a setInterval function so that the class gets removed after 1 millisecond but didn't work so I erased it, but even then, I don't know how to make the .on('click', function()) function fire on every click, instead of just working once. any help or tips would be really appreciated. Thanks!
<style>
body {
background-color: black;
}
img {
opacity: 0;
width: 40px;
z-index: 0;
position: relative;
top: 3em;
}
</style>
<img class="red"

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
var red = $(".red");
var blue = $(".blue");
var yellow = $(".yellow");
var images = [red, blue, yellow];
$(document).on('click', function(){
$(images[(Math.floor(Math.random()*3))]).addClass("animated fadeOut");
});
})
//i should be able to click anywhere on the screen and a random image should appear and then fadeout each time there is a click
</script>
Try something like this:
$(document).on("click", function() {
$("#element").show(0, function() {
$("#element").fadeOut();
});
});
$("#element").hide();
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<span id="element">Element</span>
It looks like you are using jQuery so you simply need to:
1) Create a function that hides the class. Example:
function hideStuff(){
$(".myimg").hide();
}
2) Add a class to your image files so they have a common selector (like "myimg" below). You may also want to add an "alt" attribute (was missing in your code). Example:
<img class="yellow myimg" src="http://www.clker.com/stuff" alt="image-three">
3) Add the timeout as part of your function with the amount of delay you want. While it is not required, you should include a variable name so you can call it in the future. Example:
var myTimeout = setTimeout( hideStuff, 5000);
Hopefully these will get you going in the right direction.
Both .fadeOut() and .hide() set display: none, which could effect your layout. I think you're looking to animate opacity to 0, and then in the callback function you can change the image source. I'd recommend using a div and setting the background-image property since divs are a bit more layout friendly. Also, you could either use classes and set the background-image property in the <style> section or you can make an array of the image urls and randomly pick from that (which is what I did here).
let images = [
'http://www.clker.com/cliparts/0/f/1/f/130267960774173786paint-splash(red)-md.png',
'http://www.clker.com/cliparts/Q/3/H/u/Z/K/dark-blue-splash-ink-hi.png',
'http://www.clker.com/cliparts/3/y/m/m/p/P/yellow-splash-ink-md.png'
];
$(document).on('click', function() {
let $img = $('.img'); //so you don't have to make a new object everytime it's used
if ($img.css('opacity') === '1') {
$img.animate({ opacity: 0 }, function() {
$img.css('background-image', `url(${images[Math.floor(Math.random()*3)]})`);
});
} else {
$img.animate({ opacity: 1 });
}
}).click().click(); //two clicks to initialize image

NOTE: JSfiddle doesn't seem to like wherever these images are hosted, so it's working kind of erratically. Hopefully you get the gist of what this code is doing though.

If I understood the question correct, In This Fiddle the button element disappears when you click anywhere in the screen and then re appears immediately. Hope this will work.
$(document).ready(function(){
$(document).on('click',function(){
$("#myElement").fadeOut().delay(100).fadeIn();

I want to make an image on my site to opacity 0.5 and then i want to "pop out" on this image a word with opacity equal to 1. The problem is that when i set image on whatever speed it starts to queue all functions as many times as i enter/leave image with my cursor.
the word is loading faster (immadietly) than image with 'slow' and
the word doesn't change opacity to 1, cus it's loosing opacity with
image (which is set to 0.5)
How to make "word" to load later than image?
How to make function not repeatable whenever I'm moving my cursor through image (like 10x/sec) so it won't queue everything and
continue to fadeTo until everything is done?
(the most important) How to make word to not inherit opacity from image?
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#classic').mouseenter(function(){
$('#classic').fadeTo('slow', 0.25)
{
$('#classic').append("Classic");
$("Classic").fadeTo('slow', 1);
};
});
$('#classic').mouseleave(function(){
$('#classic').fadeTo('slow', 1);
{
$('#classic').empty();
};
});
});
First of all, make sure that either (a) the element that has id="classic" is not an img--because imges should not have children--or (b) you are adding the text after the img and not appending it to it. I'm going to assume that there's a div with id="classic" which has an img child:
1) You have it almost right. To make the word fade in after the image has faded out you need to use a callback function. The syntax for this is:
$('#classic').fadeTo('slow', 0.25, function() {
// now the fading is done!
});
And not
$('#classic').fadeTo('slow', 0.25)
{
....
}
You'll also probably want to add opacity: 0 for an initial value on the text that you add to the DOM so you can then fade it in.
2) jQuery has a function just for this called .stop(). Call this function whenever you need to stop animations from queuing up. So change the above to:
$('#classic').stop().fadeTo('slow', 0.25, function() {
// now the fading is done!
});
3) In CSS all elements inherit opacity from their parent. The easiest fix for this is simply to make the added element a sibling (or any other DOM element) of the transparent element and not a child. Then use negative relative positioning to stick it over the transparent element. So, assuming this structure:
<div id="classic">
<img src="myPicture" />
</div>
you'd use this jQuery:
$('#classic img').stop().fadeTo('slow', 0.25, function() {
$('#classic').append("<span>Classic</span>");
$("#classic span").fadeTo('slow', 1);
});
Make only the image fade out and in, so its siblings are unaffected. And in CSS:
#classic span {
display: inline-block;
opacity: 0; /* make it 0 initially so we can fade it in */
position: relative;
top: -48px; /* or whatever value */
left: -88px; /* or whatever value */
}
So here's the combined jQuery:
$('#classic').mouseenter(function () {
$('#classic img').stop().fadeTo('slow', 0.25, function() {
$('#classic').append("<span>Classic</span>");
$("#classic span").fadeTo('slow', 1);
});
});
$('#classic').mouseleave(function () {
$('#classic img').stop().fadeTo('slow', 1, function() {
$('#classic span').remove();
});
});
Here's a JSFiddle. Hope this helps!
I've updated your code here: http://jsfiddle.net/3dytbr3m/1/
You should use classes on your buttons. Classes are identifiers that can be applied on multiple elements. That way you don't have to use double code.
I also use $(this) which means that you are targeting the element that has the mouse over.
I'm using the vimeo api to slide a video off the screen after it finishes playing. Underneath the video player, hidden, I have an image that says 'replay'. The image though is slightly bigger than the player so I want to hide the image via .hide() or display: none in the css and then show it after the animation of the video player completes.
Here's my js:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".vimeo-container img").hide();
$('iframe.vimeo').each(function(){
Froogaloop(this).addEvent('ready', ready);
});
function ready(playerID){
Froogaloop(playerID).addEvent('finish', onFinish);
}
function onFinish(playerID) {
var player = "#" + playerID;
$(player).animate({width: "0%"}, 750, function() {
$(player).next("img").show();
});
}
});
So the first line is hiding the image. And then when the onFinish function completes I'm trying to show() the image, but it won't work. I should note that when I reverse it and do:
$(player).next("img").hide();
it works.
Here's my HTML:
%section#container1
.row.video-left
.large-8.columns
.vimeo-container
.flex-video.widescreen.vimeo
%iframe.vimeo#player1{allowfullscreen: "", frameborder: "0", height: "225", mozallowfullscreen: "", src: "http://player.vimeo.com/video/60122989?api=1&player_id=player1", webkitallowfullscreen: "", width: "400"}
= image_tag "behind1.png", class: "behind1"
And CSS:
.vimeo-container {
position: relative;
.behind1 {
margin-top: -27em;
}
I've also tried setting display: none in the css, but that wont work either. Not sure what I'm missing.
Thanks.
EDIT
function onFinish(playerID) {
var player = "#" + playerID;
$(player).animate({width: "0%"}, 750, function() {
console.log($(player));
$(player).next().show();
});
}
When I log out ($(player) it returns:
And when I log out console.log($(player).next()); it logs out the image that I am trying to show.
According to the jQuery documentation on the animate method here:
Note: Unlike shorthand animation methods such as .slideDown() and .fadeIn(), the .animate() method does not make hidden elements visible as part of the effect. For example, given $( "someElement" ).hide().animate({height: "20px"}, 500), the animation will run, but the element will remain hidden.
I had a similar need in a project and what worked for me there was to set the z-index of the element I wanted to hide to be less than that of the background. Then, when I wanted to show (or, in your case, animate) I could apply the jQuery methods to the element as if they were hidden (by increasing the z-index so that the element becomes visible), yet not incur the undefined behaviour of attempting to manipulate a hidden element.
Another option would be to move the element off the screen by way of a negative (x, y) coordinate and work from there. I'm not sure which visually would be more appealing in your use case but mention it for completeness.
When I hover over an img which fades to another img and sroll off too fast, the fadeOut gets stuck and the fade stays. I've tried the .stop() as I've seen in other responses, but still won't work. Is there something else I can put instead of the .stop()?
<div class="grid big-square">
<a href="#"><img id="image2" src="img/fade/creo.png">
<img id="image1" src="img/creo.jpg"></a>
</div>
<script>
$("#image1").mouseenter(function () {
$(this).stop(true, true).fadeOut(1000);
});
$("#image2").mouseleave(function () {
$("#image1").stop(true, true).fadeIn(500);
});
</script>
I seem to remember having a similar problem when I was creating this website.
The solution is to use a combination of .hover() and .stop() to ensure that only one animation is running at a time, which I think you have. Also ensure that the mouseover image is on top of the other image, and just fade that one in and out. The image fading out gets 'stuck' because at some opacity the .mouseleave() stops firing and the .mouseenter() starts firing on the other image.
Something like:
$$ = $("#image1");
$$.hover(function () {
$$.stop().animate({
opacity: 0
}, 1000);
}, function () {
$$.stop().animate({
opacity: 1
}, 1000);
});
#image1 must be above #image2 for this to work, #image1 fades out to 'reveal' #image2 behind it. The code uses .animate() rather than .fadeIn() and .fadeOut() but the effect is the same.
Edit- to fade in another div after the end of the fadeoout animation use the complete call back of the animate function.
Something like:
$$ = $("#image1");
$$.hover(function () {
$$.stop().animate({
opacity: 0
}, 1000);
}, function () {
$$.stop().animate({
opacity: 1
}, 1000, function() {
$("#finalDiv").animate({ opacity: 1, 500 });
});
});
#finalDiv needs to be after the 2 <img />s in your html to appear above them.
I'm not sure how you're trying to accomplish this but I do know how it should be done.
Try this http://jsfiddle.net/xy5dj/
Make sure to listen for both events on the same element (preferably a wrapper element).
Take note that fadeOut actually removes the element from the rendered content (display: none) making sure that the mouse events won't fire on that element.
Side note:
A dirty trick that I used once (if you have to do this then you're doing something wrong) is to clear the style of the element after animation using the callback ability of the animate function i.e.
$('el').animate({opacity:0}, 500, function(){$(this).attr('style', '')});
fiddle
You should use the animation/transition in form:
.fadeTo( duration, opacity, complete )
where complete is callback function.
I have this code:
$('.pic_windows img').mouseenter(function () {
$(this).effect('shake', {
times : 4,
distance : 5
}, 15).attr('src', $(this).attr('src').replace(/.jpg/, '-1.jpg'))
});
$('.pic_windows img').mouseleave(function () {
$(this).attr('src', $(this).attr('src').replace(/-1.jpg/, '.jpg'))
});
where I'm using JQuery's .attr to swap the images, but I'd like the swapping to occur over the course of around 1 second. I've googled this and get all these complicated "CSS3 transitions with JQuery fallback" tutorials. Is there a way to 'animate' an .attr change?
I think I should do a fadeOut while the other fadeIn but I don't know how to write it, as I'm almost a complete JQuery newbie. I have a number of these transitions to do over the course of several pages. It'd be a cinch if I needed to write this for just one instance.
UPDATE On mouseenter, the image shakes and then should during this shake, fade from one picture to its swapped picture. On mouseleave, the image should just fade back to the original picture. Unfortunately I have also found that the shake effect is breaking on IE, all versions, as well as the image swap (it doesn't see image 2 at all)
No, you cannot animate an attribute change. What you can do is clone an element, change an attribute and transition between them.
var target = $(this).fadeOut();
var src = target.attr('src').replace(/-1.jpg/, '.jpg');
var copy = target.clone()
.attr('src', src)
.hide()
.insertAfter(target)
.fadeIn();
EDIT: Thank you for clarifying your intentions, I would advise not playing with the 'src', which will essentially require building a small stateful plugin. Instead, stick with the desired effect here, reveal an image on hover. jsFiddle
