Limiting area of page scroll on navigation click - javascript

I am using the following jquery code to scroll to particular sections when a menu in the navigation tab is clicked. You must have well guessed by now that its a one page website. So coming further, the problem is that when the menu is clicked it scrolls to that particular DIV section but the header hides behind the menu's div. I mean it scrolls way too much up. I want to limit the level of scrolling. Say the it should stop 200px before than what it actually reaches a stop point now. Is it possible?
Here is my code
$(document).ready(function() {
$('body').find('a').click(function(){
var $href = $(this).attr('href');
var $anchor = $($href).offset();
var $li = $(this).parent('li');
$li.addClass('active');
$li.siblings().removeClass('active');
$('body,html').animate({ scrollTop: $anchor.top }, 1000);
return false;
});
});

Instead of hard coding the header value, a better approach would be dynamically getting the height of header, so it won't create issues in mobile and other devices.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('body').find('a').click(function(){
var $heightEx = $('.navbar').height(); // use your respective selector
var $href = $(this).attr('href');
var $anchor = $($href).offset();
var $li = $(this).parent('li');
$li.addClass('active');
$li.siblings().removeClass('active');
$('body,html').animate({ scrollTop: ($anchor.top - $heightEx) }, 1000);
return false;
});
});
EDIT
This is the code I personally use
$("a").on('click', function(event) {
$heightEx = $('header').height();
if (this.hash !== "") {
event.preventDefault();
var hash = this.hash;
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: ($(hash).offset().top - $heightEx)
}, 800);
}
});

Maybe, you need to change 'animate' scrollTop parameter:
$('body,html').animate({ scrollTop: $anchor.top - 200px }, 1000);

fixed navigation bar overlaying content when position is given dynamically

I am trying to create a one page website with multiple sections. my problem is that once I click on a link in the navigation bar it scrolls to the item but covers part of the content.
the navigation is only given static positioning when scrolling past its original position (Hope that makes sense). here is a link to my dev site http://wp.matthewwood.me/
here is my code for adding the fixed positioning using JQuery. i tried offsetting it by -50px to accommodate for the fixed nav size but this has not solved the problem.
$(document).ready(function(){
var offset = $(".navbar").offset().top;
$(window).scroll(function() {
if ($(window).scrollTop() >= offset) {
$('.navbar').addClass('navbar-fixed-top');
}
else {
$('.navbar').removeClass('navbar-fixed-top');
}
});
$('a.page-scroll').bind('click', function(event) {
var $anchor = $(this);
$('html, body').stop().animate({scrollTop: $($anchor.attr('href')).offset().top - 50}, 1500, 'easeInOutExpo');
event.preventDefault();
});
});
Any help would be appreciated
When you change from relative to fixed positioning, the block value of the div changes from it's height to zero. This causes the offset issue you are experiencing. See this fiddle here:
https://jsfiddle.net/7muk9zhh/5/
The main things that have changed:
JS:
$(window).scroll(function() {
if ($(window).scrollTop() >= offset) {
$('.navbar').addClass('navbar-fixed-top');
$("#Main").css("margin-top", $(".navbar").height()); //Compensates for fixed positioning
} else {
$('.navbar').removeClass('navbar-fixed-top');
$("#Main").css("margin-top", "");
}
});
$('a.page-scroll').bind('click', function(event) {
var $anchor = $(this);
var globOffset = $(".navbar").height(); //Acts as an offset for the fixed element
$('body').stop().animate({scrollTop: $($anchor).attr('href').offset().top - globOffset}, 1500);
event.preventDefault();
});
HTML:
There is one more problem. The "#home" anchor is used in body. So when finding the offset top for this, it returns 0 (offset of the body element).
Also I think the custom easing 'easeInOutExpo' requires jQuery UI (if that isn't working you need to include it):
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
Hopefully this answers your question!
Use this code: should work properly and has nice smooth scrolling effect:
$(document).ready(function(){
var offset = $(".navbar").offset().top;
$(window).scroll(function() {
if ($(window).scrollTop() >= offset) {
$('.navbar').addClass('navbar-fixed-top');
}
else {
$('.navbar').removeClass('navbar-fixed-top');
}
});
//here it starts
$('a[href^="#"]').bind('click.smoothscroll',function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var target = this.hash,
$target = $(target);
$('html, body').stop().animate({
'scrollTop': $target.offset().top-90 //change value to your need
}, 1200, 'swing', function () {
window.location.hash = target;
});
});
//end
});

Smooth Scroll works only from the same page and not from external links

I am using this code to a wordpress paid theme (Gavick - Creativity) and it uses the code below:
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
// SmoothScroll jQUery substitue
jQuery('a[href^="#"]').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var target = this.hash,
$target = jQuery(target);
if ($target.length) {
jQuery('html, body').stop().animate({
'scrollTop': $target.offset().top + 150
//'scrollTop': $target.offset().top ORIGINAL
}, 1000, 'swing', function () {
window.location.hash = target+150;
//window.location.hash = target; ORIGINAL
});
} else {
window.location.hash = target;
// window.location.hash = target; ORIGINAL
}
});
The thing is that it smooth scrolls only from internal links and not from external.
When I am at the same page and click on an anchor link it scrolls perfectly.
Visiting the page anchor from another page doesn't scroll at all.
All I need is to visit http://domain.com/#anchortag and scroll to it from the start of the page.
I also need to be able to have different offsets if I am in the same page or in an external one.
Any help?
Well first thing
Visiting the page anchor from another page doesn't scroll at all.
You can make a jQuery function to check for that case:
function checkForAnchor() {
var pathname = jQuery(location).attr('href');
pathname = pathname.split("#");
for(var i = 0; i < pathname.length; i++){
if(pathname[i] == 'YOUR ANCHOR'){
jQuery('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: (jQuery('.YOUR CONTAINER TO SCROLL TO').offset().top)}, 'slow');
}
}
}
I also need to be able to have different offsets if I am in the same page or in an external one.
Therefore you may use a cookie. When the user visits your page first and there is no cookie you can use another offset to scroll to. After that set a cookie and use a different offset.

Bootstrap scrolling navbar issues

The website I'm working on: zarwanhashem.com
You can find my previous question (which includes my code) here: Bootstrap one page website themev formatting problems
The selected answer solved my issues but I have another problem because of the jQuery adjustment with the -50. Now the navbar incorrectly indicates the page I am on. i.e. The navbar is supposed to darken the section that you are currently in. So if you click "about" it will take you to the about page and darken the about link in the navbar. But the link BEFORE the page you are on is highlighted because the -50 makes the navbar think that it is on the previous section. You can easily try this to see what I mean.
How can I fix this? Thanks. The reason I didn't add this onto my old question is because the person stopped looking at it.
Also please keep your explanations simple/dumb them down a little for me. I know very basic HTML and CSS, and I don't know any Javascript.
scrolling js:
//jQuery to collapse the navbar on scroll
$(window).scroll(function() {
if ($(".navbar").offset().top > 50) {
$(".navbar-fixed-top").addClass("top-nav-collapse");
} else {
$(".navbar-fixed-top").removeClass("top-nav-collapse");
}
});
//jQuery for page scrolling feature - requires jQuery Easing plugin
$(function() {
$('a.page-scroll').bind('click', function(event) {
var $anchor = $(this);
$('html, body').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $($anchor.attr('href')).offset().top -50
}, 1500, 'easeInOutExpo');
event.preventDefault();
});
});
js added at end of document as suggested by poster in previous question:
$(window).ready(function(){
$('div[class^="content-section"]').css('min-height', $(window).height());
})
You are putting the .active class on the wrong element somehow. You need to put the .active class on the clicked element. You should handle the active state with js. This is my solution based on your HTML structure but I'm sure there are different solutions as well.
$(document).on('click', '.page-scroll', function(event) {
var clicked = event.target; //get the clicked element
if($(clicked).closest('ul').hasClass('dropdown-menu')){ //check if clicked element is inside dropdown
$(clicked).closest('ul').parent().siblings().removeClass('active'); //remove active class from all
$(clicked).closest('ul').parent().addClass('active'); add active class on clicked element parent - in your case <li> tag.
}else{
$(clicked).parent().siblings().removeClass('active');
$(clicked).parent().addClass('active');
}
}
Let me know if this works for you.
EDIT after you posted your code
Try replacing your function with this:
$(function() {
$('a.page-scroll').bind('click', function(event) {
var $anchor = $(this);
$('html, body').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $($anchor.attr('href')).offset().top -50
}, 1500, 'easeInOutExpo');
if($($anchor).closest('ul').hasClass('dropdown-menu')){
$($anchor).closest('ul').parent().siblings().removeClass('active');
$($anchor).closest('ul').parent().addClass('active');
}else{
$($anchor).parent().siblings().removeClass('active');
$($anchor).parent().addClass('active');
}
event.preventDefault();
});
});
here is a work around this problem.
just change the contents of your scrolling-nav.js to the following:
//jQuery to collapse the navbar on scroll
$(window).scroll(function() {
if ($(".navbar").offset().top > 50) {
$(".navbar-fixed-top").addClass("top-nav-collapse");
} else {
$(".navbar-fixed-top").removeClass("top-nav-collapse");
}
});
//jQuery for page scrolling feature - requires jQuery Easing plugin
$(function() {
$('a.page-scroll').bind('click', function(event) {
var $anchor = $(this);
$('html, body').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $($anchor.attr('href')).offset().top -50
}, 1500, 'easeInOutExpo', function(){
$('ul.navbar-nav li, ul.dropdown-menu li').removeClass('active');
$($anchor).parent('li').addClass('active');
});
event.preventDefault();
});
});

Load page at specific point with jQuery (without animation!)

I want to load a page at a specific div on my page without animating to that point. Below is the code I'm using right now which animates to said div. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this same function without animation.
jQuery:
if(window.location.hash) {
var hash = window.location.hash;
var link = $("[href='"+ hash +"']");
if ( hash == "#specific-url" ) {
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#specific-div").offset().top
}, 1000);
}
instead of this:
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#specific-div").offset().top
}, 1000);
do this:
$(document).scrollTop($("#specific-div").offset().top);
In you code you were trying to animate the html,body of your document, so as you want to move at a specific location in your document i think you can directly set the .scrollTop() of your document the way i suggested to you above.
One way set animate time 0ms
if(window.location.hash) {
var hash = window.location.hash;
var link = $("[href='"+ hash +"']");
if ( hash == "#specific-url" ) {
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#specific-div").offset().top
}, 0);
}
You can use
.scrollTop()
$(document).scrollTop($("#specific-div").offset().top);
.scrollIntoView()
$("#specific-div")[0].scrollIntoView(true);
or
document.getElementById(specific-div).scrollIntoView(true);

jquery scrolling won't scroll from exact location

I'm using the following jquery to make my links scroll to the next div. However, I've run into a problem. From the top of the page the script works fine. As soon as I click a link from another div (another link further down the page) the script only scrolls so far either up or down but not to the next specified div. How can I make the script scroll fully from the current location of where the link is located?
$(function() {
$('#nav a').bind('click',function(event){
var $anchor = $(this);
$('html, body, #container, .main').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $($anchor.attr('href')).offset().top
}, 1500,'easeInOutExpo');
event.preventDefault();
});
});
You have a error here:
scrollTop: $($anchor.attr('href')).offset().top
//------^^^^^^^---------------------------------this itself a selector
change to this and try with:
scrollTop: $anchor.attr('href').offset().top
or this one too:
$('#nav a').bind('click',function(event){
var $anchor = $(this).attr('href');
$('html, body, #container, .main').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $($anchor).offset().top
}, 1500,'easeInOutExpo');
event.preventDefault();
});
CHECKOUT IN FIDDLE
You're not calling the correct spot...
this should do the trick... Set the anchor point first.
$(function() {
$('#nav a').bind('click',function(event){
var $anchor = $(this).attr('href');
$('html, body, #container, .main').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $($anchor).offset().top
}, 1500,'easeInOutExpo');
event.preventDefault();
});
});
ok, so I've made you a JSFiddle, the js-code I rewrote to the code below, but you can have a have a look at the full thing here: http://jsfiddle.net/re7Xc/
$(function() {
$('a.scrolltonext').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
var parentblock = $(this).parent();
var nextblock = parentblock.next();
//nextblock.css('background-color','#00f');
if(nextblock.size()>0) {
$('html, body').stop().animate({
'scrollTop': nextblock.offset().top
}, 800);
}
});
});
the catch in this script though is that I put the links in the div itself, so it's not in a #nav somewhere. So you'd have to rewrite that part if you put the links in your #nav!
I put an if-statement in there as well, because I thought it'd be better if you check if there is a next-div first, before scrolling there.
Hope it makes some sense, and let me know if it works for you!
cheers
