When viewing the dayGridMonth view on mobile, the squishing causes the calendar to enable a scrollbar for you to sift through.
I would like for the height to remain in full, and only the width to dynamically resize, so that you only need to scroll through the page and not the actual calendar itself (since you already do have to scroll some on the page, it's awkward). The header doesn't look too hot either but the focus right now is really on the calendar itself.
My CSS is weak to begin with, but playing with a library's styling is tenfold intimidating. Any tips in the right direction would be appreciated. Below is a sample of what the scrolling looks like (obligatory cursor because the bar fades otherwise)
Technically mobile would warrant switching to maybe week view or even day view, that solves it quick and easy, but the person i'm setting this up for really likes the full month view and wants it in all media formats to stay as is.
I located the element for the full container, but messing with height or width seems to do nothing and I can't see why.
Thanks for any help
There were two element containers manipulating the whole box content, I was editing the outer container, but the inner one needed to also be extended as it was the one where the table/rows were being populated.

Wondering how I can achieve the following effect on a website I'm building:
Div with 100vw width and 100vh height (we'll call this #container2) hides to the right of the home page (we'll call the home page #container1).
Moving mouse towards the right edge of the page causes #container2 to peek out.
If the user clicks on the visible portion of #container2, it slides all the way to the left, fully obscuring #container1.
The user is now on a new page with a corresponding URL, where they can scroll down and view more content.
I've got the first 3 steps more or less figured out. What I need help with is figuring out the best way to:
Handle the URL transition from site.com into site.com/newpage during the sliding animation
How to dynamically load the new page's content to the #container2 once the page transition happens, so the user can scroll down and see the new pages content if they click into it, but don't have to load the content if they choose to stay on the homepage.
Making it so if someone types or is linked directly to site.com/newpage, they will see the same thing that someone who started on the home page, clicked #container2, and watched the transition animation sees (but without showing a page transition).
I don't have any code snippets to show because I'm not really sure where to start. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. If possible, I'd like to use a vanilla javascript solution, as I've managed to make all the other features on the site run without JQuery. If JQuery is the only way to do this though, I'd still love to hear the solution.
There are a lot of ways you could do this. My intuition would be to have only one page that has different url fragments. Your question is fairly broad so my answer will also be broad.
One approach would be to use the target pseudo-class in css. All you need to do is make container2 a link that adds fragment to the end of the url that matches the classname of said container. You could have a some style for :hover that makes the container slide out and some settings for :target that brings the container to the center of the page. Container2 could have have a second section beneath the fold that contains the rest of the content for the page.
You could do something very similar with javascript by adding and removing classes from the various elements, but using the target pseudo class will help with your last bullet point. If a user goes directly to the link with the fragment, they will see the page with that container displayed.
I hope that gives you a place to start. Here is some info about the target pseudo-class.
I am designing an interactive web game that takes place entirely in the browser. It uses html5, and everything (including the elements) is part of the game world. Since this is the case, I need some pretty strict control over the positioning of my elements, scroll position, zooming, etc.
One particular level requires that an element be placed off screen (just outside the viewport) so that the user must scroll the page to find it. Unfortunately, after scrolling, the page seems to record the new width of the page including the originally unseen element. When the page is refreshed, the zoom level is adjusted to fit the entire screen with the hidden element into the viewport. This gives away the puzzle and ruins the level.
I know that browsers store information like scroll position so that when a user revisits the page they can pick up right where they left off. This is great for some things, but bad for my purposes. Is there a way to prevent this caching behavior of my browsers? Is there a way to get or set the zoom level of a page using JavaScript?
Currently I am using the code below to reset the scroll position right before the user leaves the page. It works pretty well, but the user can see the page scroll right before leaving.
window.addEventListener("beforeunload",function(event_){
window.scrollTo(0,0);
/* What I would love is if there were a way to do this: */
// window.zoomTo(1.0);
/* But I'm sure that's asking for too much. */
});
I managed to fix my problem by keeping the hidden element out of the html flow all together by setting its css position property to fixed. I simulate page scrolling by changing the elements style.left value with some custom touch event handlers. The page has no need to resize or zoom with the addition of the off screen element because fixed position elements do not effect layout.
This doesn't answer my question about resetting the zoom level, however, and I would still appreciate any insight anyone may have.
I'm hoping somebody is able to point me in the right direction with what I'm hoping to achieve. I'm building a responsive site, and have a traditional navigation menu spanning the top, with several items inside.
I need for this menu to shrink when the page gets narrower, but rather than the navigation menu breaking I would like for the items that don't fit to go underneath a "More..." drop down tab. Does this make sense? Here's a graphical representation...
So the top image would be what it might look like with 1024 width, and below is the 768 width.
The content in the menu is unknown so the widths would vary, so I'd need to calculate the width of the combined links and then anything more than that would get put underneath the More.. dropdown.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated, just not sure where to start at the moment.
Thanks
Implementing this is quite simple, if the menu can be static and doesn't have to adjust when the window is resized; #skip405's example is a really good solution in this case (+1).
If the implementation has to adjust the menu dynamically on window resize, it get's tricky though... The window.onresize event is fired quite often while the user scales the browser window, so a naive implementation (e.g. #skip405's approach executed on every event) would be too slow/expensive.
I'd solve the problem as follows:
Calculate and add up the outer width of all links at the beginning.
Append all available links to the "more" tab (cloning) so they can be shown/hidden dynamically. This is much faster than creating new (resp. destroying) DOM elements all the time.
Bind a handler to the onresize event. In the handler, get the current menu width and compare it to the width of the links. Hide all links that don't fit in the menu and show their counterparts in the "more" tab. The same goes the other way round for showing links if the menu is wide enough.
Here's my implementation: http://jsfiddle.net/vNqTF/
Just resize the window and see what happens. ;) Note that the solution can still be optimized of course - it's just an example.
Here's a nice jQuery plugin that may solve the problem: https://github.com/352Media/flexMenu
Also be sure to check out a great article providing a step-by-step instructions on how to organize this kind of flexible navigation using the aforementioned flexMenu plugin: http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/tutorials/site-elements/a-flexible-approach-to-responsive-navigation/
I think my variant may be a starting point for you. I'm a novice in jQuery and am learning a lot myself - so anybody, feel free to correct (and improve) my method or my logic :)
My starting point is here: http://jsfiddle.net/skip405/yN595/1/
To see it in action you need to resize the Result window so that there were 3 or 4 items in a row (not 7) and press Run again. Hover over More to see the rest of them.
In this fiddle I calculate the width of the list items in a loop and compare it with the width of the whole menu. When the calculated width of the items becomes higher than that of the menu - we can get the number of visible lis at the moment.
NB: This code works on document.ready and won't work on resizing of the window yet. So press Run when you resize the window for now.
In General:
I need my nav to behave like a mobile app (swipe effect), but WITHOUT accessing it via a mobile product. (So JQuery Mobile and such isn't applicable here... at least I don't think.)
Specifics:
My nav (example attached below) is a set of horizontally arranged icons. I would like to be able to scroll horizontally, but instead of simply scrolling the icons over, I'd like them to slide in increments (much like how an iPhone's pages slide into discrete positions with swipes across the screen.) This means regardless of how much the user scrolls, only the same amount of slide is performed.

My Problem:
So I currently have this (crappy/buggy) version working, but it's based on JQuery's .mousemove() which means as I cause the menu to move, the cursor is still also moving and no longer over the icon I wish to click. If I based it on .scroll(), then the containing div would have to be scrollable (which would show the scrollbars).
So: Is there...
a) an example of this already done somewhere? or
b) a way to make a div scrollable but without showing the scrollbars
This site is being used in a specific way for a specific purpose, so please don't reply just to tell me that hidden scrollbars on a scrollable div is bad juju/annoying for the users.
I found something called "Web In Touch". Could this help?
Many MANY thanks in advance.

Have you tried content flow? It can do horizontal scrolling for you on button presses (and you can map this to something else). I understand this isn't what you want exactly, but it might work, since you want to horizontally flow/scroll image icons.
Ok, so I've created a little plugin that takes a bunch of elements and creates a sort of never ending list. I'll try to explain...
I have a div, and it's got about 20 elements tags in it. When the user scrolls up, the top element moves out of view and is moved to the bottom of the list. And vice-versa so that when the user scrolls down, the bottom element is moved to the top of the list.
This is specifically for Mobile Safari (iPad, iPhone) web content
What I would like to do is implement inertia so the scrolling slows to a halt in response to how fast or slow the user is scrolling when their finger leaves the screen. Just like the inertia commonly found in the iPhone / iPad UI.
The problem is, every time an element moves to the top or the bottom of the list, the scollTop value for the parent div is adjusted to make it look like all the elements are staying in the same place. Which means the scrollTop value is never more than the top elements total height. So there's no value I can think of that I can keep on manipulating to give the illusion of inertia.
I'm stumped. Does anyone have any suggestions?
iScroll implements scrolling with inertia, but I'm not sure how it would react to you adding and removing elements mid-scroll. Might be worth looking into though.
