type in textarea..on textarea change it updates counter of "char_count" once it reaches at 0 it blinks..then hit backspace till counter reaches at 1
the issue is it wont stop blinking
<div>
<textarea rows="10"></textarea>
<div class="char_count">5 characters remaining</div>
</div>
here is jsfiddle

I have looked into the fiddle you've attached. There are two issues,
On keyup you're attaching jQuery animations each time on keyup. So clearing the interval wont help you.
jQuery animation has to be stopped, use $(element).stop(true, true)
I have updated the jsFiddle and also added a check isBlinking to attach animation only once.

var descriptionTextarea = $("textarea");
var char_count = ".char_count";
var textMax = 5;
var isRunning = false;
var clearInt = 0;
$(char_count).html(textMax + ' characters remaining');
descriptionTextarea.on("keyup", function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
var textLength = $(this).val().length;
var textRemaining = textMax - textLength;
var selfCharCounter = $(this).parent().find(char_count);
function blink() {
$(selfCharCounter).fadeOut(500).fadeIn(500);
};
if (textRemaining <= 0 && !isRunning) {
selfCharCounter.css("color", "red");
clearInt = setInterval(blink, 500);
isRunning = true;
} else if (textRemaining > 0 && isRunning) {
isRunning = false;
selfCharCounter.css("color", "");
$(selfCharCounter).stop(true, true).fadeOut();
$(selfCharCounter).stop(true, true).fadeIn()
clearInterval(clearInt);
clearInt = 0;
}
selfCharCounter.html(textRemaining + ' characters remaining');
});
There are multiple problems with your code:
In your case clearInt is set inside the keyup handler (so after every keypress you reset clearint to 0 so you don't clear the right one)
You set multiple intervals on every keypress and you just remove the last one, you should only add an interval if there's not one already running
To stop the animation you should use the stop method of jQuery
You should also paste the code with the problem on SO
https://jsfiddle.net/mzx79os2/13/
var $descriptionTextarea = $("textarea");
var $char_count = $(".char_count");
var textMax = 5;
var animation, animationInProcess;
$char_count.html(textMax + ' characters remaining');
function blinkStart(selfCharCounter) {
console.log('run blink');
animationInProcess = true;
animation = setInterval(function(selfCharCounter){
if( !animationInProcess){
blinkStop(selfCharCounter)
return;
}
$(selfCharCounter).fadeOut(500).fadeIn(500);
}, 500, selfCharCounter);
};
function blinkStop(selfCharCounter){
console.log('stop blink');
$(selfCharCounter).stop(true, true).show();
clearInterval(animation);
};
$descriptionTextarea.on("keyup",function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
var textLength = $(this).val().length;
var textRemaining = textMax - textLength;
var selfCharCounter = $(this).next();
if(textRemaining <= 0){
(!animationInProcess) && blinkStart(selfCharCounter);
selfCharCounter.css("color","red");
}else{
animationInProcess = false;
selfCharCounter.css("color","");
}
selfCharCounter.html(textRemaining + ' characters remaining');
});

So, I've been trying to figure out JS, and what better way to do so than to make a small project. It's a small trivia game, and it has a question timer I've made using setInterval. Unfortunately, after answering multiple questions, the interval's behaviour gets very weird - it runs the command twice every time. I guess it's my faulty implementation of buttonclicks?
By the way, if my code is awful I am sorry, I've been desperate to fix the issue and messed with it a lot.
function startGame(){
if (clicked === true){
return;
}
else{
$("#textPresented").html("Which anthem is this?");
$("#button").css("display", "none");
currentCountry = getRndInteger(0,8);
console.log(currentCountry);
var generatedURL = anthemnflags[currentCountry];
console.log(generatedURL);
audios.setAttribute("src", generatedURL);
audios.play();
$("#button").html("I know!");
$("#button").css("display", "block");
$("#button").click(function () {
continueManager();
});
y=10;
console.log("cleared y" + y);
x = setInterval(function(){
y = y - 1;
console.log("Counting down..." + y)
}, 1000);
console.log("INTERVAL SET");
}
}
Here is the console output:
cleared y10 flaggame.js:59:17
INTERVAL SET flaggame.js:64:17
AbortError: The fetching process for the media resource was aborted by the user agent at the user's request. flaggame.js:49

THE REST OF MY CODE:
function middleGame(){
$("#button").css("display", "none");
var n = document.querySelectorAll(".flagc").length;
correctIMG = getRndInteger(0,n-1);
showFlags();
var taken = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < n; ++i){
if (i === correctIMG){
images[i].attr("src", "res/" + flagsfiles[currentCountry]);
taken[currentCountry] = true;
}
else{
var randomFlag = getRndInteger(0, flagsfiles.length);
if (randomFlag !== currentCountry && taken[randomFlag] !== true){
images[i].attr("src", "res/" + flagsfiles[randomFlag]);
taken[randomFlag] = true;
}
}
}
$(".flagc").click(function(){
clickregister(this);
});
}
function continueManager(){
if (!clicked){
audios.pause()
clearInterval(x);
x = 0;
clicked = true;
middleGame();
return;
}
}
function clickregister(buttonClicked){
if ($(buttonClicked).attr("id") != correctIMG){
points = points - 1;
flagARR[$(buttonClicked).attr("id")].css("display", "none");
console.log("INCORRECT");
}
else{
if (y >= 0) {
var addedPoints = 1 + y;
points = points + addedPoints;
$("#points").html(points);
}
else{
points = points + 1;
}
hideFlags();
clicked = false;
startGame();
}
}
$(function(){
hideFlags();
$("#textPresented").html("When you're ready, click the button below!");
$("#button").html("I am ready!");
$("#button").click(function () {
if (!gameStarted){
gameStarted = true;
alert("STARTING GAME");
startGame();
}
});
});
Basically this is how it works:
When the "I am ready" button is clicked, startGame() is called. It plays a random tune and counts down, until the player hits the "I know" button. That button SHOULD stop the interval and start the middleGame() function, which shows 4 images, generates a random correct image and awaits input, checks if it's true, then launches startGame() again.
The first and second cycles are perfect - after the third one things get messy.
I also noticed that the "INCORRECT" log gets printed twice, why?
EDIT: here is the minimized code that has the same issue:
var x;
var gameStarted = false;
var y;
var clicked;
$(function(){
$("#button").click(function () {
if (!gameStarted){
gameStarted = true;
startGame();
}
});
});
function startGame(){
console.log("startgame()");
if (clicked === true){
return;
}
else{
console.log("!true");
$("#button").css("display", "block");
$("#button").click(function () {
continueManager();
});
y=10;
x = setInterval(function(){
y = y - 1;
console.log(y);
}, 1000);
}
}
function continueManager(){
if (!clicked){
clearInterval(x);
x = 0;
clicked = true;
middleGame();
return;
}
}
function middleGame(){
$("#button").css("display", "none");
var taken = new Array();
$(".flagc").click(function(){
clickregister(this);
});
}
function clickregister(buttonClicked){
console.log("clickgregister");
//Irrelevant code that checks the answers
clicked = false;
startGame();
}
EDIT2: It appears that my clickregister() function gets called twice, and that function then calls startGame() twice.
EDIT3: I have found the culprit! It's these lines of code:
$(".flagc").click(function(){
console.log("button" + $(this).attr("id") + "is clicked");
clickregister(this);
});
They get called twice, for the same button
I fixed it!
It turns out all I had to do was to add
$(".flagc").unbind('click');
Before the .click() function!
You need to clear the interval first then call it again. You can do that by creating a variable outside of the event listener scope and in the event listener check if the variable contains anything if yes then clear the interval of x. After clearing the interval you can reset it.
Something like this:
<button class="first" type="submit">Button</button>
const btn = document.querySelector('.first');
let x;
btn.addEventListener("click", () => {
x && clearInterval(x)
x = setInterval(() => console.log("yoo"), 500)
})
This is because if you don't clear the interval of x it will create a new one on every button press.

I'm trying to open Bootstrap Popover to auto-open on loop but so far I've have manage only to auto-play once.
HTML:
<div class="container">
Hover Left |
Hover Right |
Click Me
</div>
JS:
$(document).ready(function(){
var time = 1000;
var len = $('.myclass').length;
var count = 0;
var fun = setInterval(function(){
count++;
if(count>len){
clearInterval(fun);
}
$('.p'+count).popover('show');
if(count>1){
var pre = count-1;
$('.p'+pre).popover('hide');
}
}, time);
});
Could anyone help? I want it on loop so it plays forever or atleast 10 or 20 times.
Modify javascript part of your fiddle like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
var time = 1000;
var len = $('.myclass').length;
var count = 0;
var fun = setInterval(function(){
count++;
if(count>len){
$('.p'+(count-1)).popover('hide');
count = 1;
//clearInterval(fun);
}
$('.p'+count).popover('show');
if(count>1){
var pre = count-1;
$('.p'+pre).popover('hide');
}
}, time);
});
Since you are not clearing the interval in this modified snippet, it will run forever as you expected.
Thats because you have added line
if(count>len){
clearInterval(fun);
}
After showing them 1 time count is 3 and clearInterval(fun) is called
which terminates further call to function fun().
Original comment: You can't clear the interval and expect the loop to continue! Instead of clearing set the count back to 0. But you'll also need to remember to hide the last popover.
var fun = setInterval(function(){
count++;
$('.p' + count).popover('show');
if(count > 1){
$('.p' + (count - 1)).popover('hide');
}
if(count > len){
count = 0;
}
}, time);
Here is a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/89gcqnfm/
Simplicity and modular arithmetic are your friends:
$(document).ready(function(){
var time = 1000;
var eles = $('.myclass');
var count = 0;
var fun = setInterval(function(){
if(eles.length < 1)
return (console.log("No elements found!")&&!1) || clearInterval(fun);
eles.eq(count%eles.length).popover('hide');
eles.eq(++count%eles.length).popover('show');
}, time);
});

I have a text area where I do a countdown on .keyup() but it although it does what it supposed to it lets the user to believe that there id 1 character left to type, yet the length of the text area has reached the limit. Here is my code:
<script>
var w_limit = 3000;
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#comment').keyup(function(e) {
el = $(this);
if(el.val().length >= w_limit){
el.val( el.val().substr(0, w_limit) );
} else {
$("#word-count").text(w_limit-el.val().length + ' characters left');
}
});
});
</script>
Aside from your typos, you need to always run the $("#word-count").text(stuff); part. Here's it working without the else:
var w_limit = 20;
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#comment').keyup(function (e) {
var el = $(this),
val = el.val();
if (val.length >= w_limit){
el.val( val.substr(0, w_limit) );
}
$("#word-count").text(w_limit - el.val().length + ' characters left');
});
});
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/eHstm/
(of course, I used a lower w_limit number for testing purposes)
I have a bug in Javascript where I am animating the margin left property of a parent container to show its child divs in a sort of next/previous fashion. Problem is if clicking 'next' at a high frequency the if statement seems to be ignored (i.e. only works if click, wait for animation, then click again) :
if (marLeft === (-combinedWidth + (regWidth) + "px")) {
//roll margin back to 0
}
An example can be seen on jsFiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/ZQg5V/
Any help would be appreciated.
Try the below code which will basically check if the container is being animated just return from the function.
Working demo
$next.click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
if($contain.is(":animated")){
return;
}
var marLeft = $contain.css('margin-left'),
$this = $(this);
if (marLeft === (-combinedWidth + (regWidth) + "px")) {
$contain.animate({
marginLeft: 0
}, function () {
$back.fadeOut('fast');
});
} else {
$back.fadeIn(function () {
$contain.animate({
marginLeft: "-=" + regWidth + "px"
});
});
}
if (marLeft > -combinedWidth) {
$contain.animate({
marginLeft: 0
});
}
});
Sometimes is better if you create a function to take care of the animation, instead of writting animation code on every event handler (next, back). Also, users won't have to wait for the animation to finish in order to go the nth page/box.
Maybe this will help you:
if (jQuery) {
var $next = $(".next"),
$back = $(".back"),
$box = $(".box"),
regWidth = $box.width(),
$contain = $(".wrap")
len = $box.length;
var combinedWidth = regWidth*len;
$contain.width(combinedWidth);
var currentBox = 0; // Keeps track of current box
var goTo = function(n) {
$contain.animate({
marginLeft: -n*regWidth
}, {
queue: false, // We don't want animations to queue
duration: 600
});
if (n == 0) $back.fadeOut('fast');
else $back.fadeIn('fast');
currentBox = n;
};
$next.click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var go = currentBox + 1;
if (go >= len) go = 0; // Index based, instead of margin based...
goTo(go);
});
$back.click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var go = currentBox - 1;
if (go <= 0) go = 0; //In case back is pressed while fading...
goTo(go);
});
}
Here's an updated version of your jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/victmo/ZQg5V/5/
Cheers!
Use a variable to track if the animation is taking place. Pseudocode:
var animating = false;
function myAnimation() {
if (animating) return;
animating = true;
$(this).animate({what:'ever'}, function() {
animating = false;
});
}
Crude, but it should give you the idea.
Edit: Your current code works fine for me as well, even if I jam out on the button. On firefox.
I have built a jQuery rotator to rotate through 3 divs and loop them. I would like to add the functionality on mouse over to "freeze" the current div and then start again on mouse out.
I've thought about setting a variable to false at the start of the function and setting it true when it's on it's current frame but I've got my self a bit confused.
I've also tried to use the hover function but when using the in and out handlers, I'm confused as to how to stop, restart the animation.
function ImageRotate() {
var CurrentFeature = "#container" + featureNumber;
$(CurrentFeature).stop(false, true).delay(4500).animate({'top' : '330px'}, 3000);
var featureNumber2 = featureNumber+1;
if ( featureNumber == numberOfFeatures) {featureNumber2 = 1}
var NewFeature = "#container" + featureNumber2;
$(NewFeature).stop(false, true).delay(4500).animate({'top' : '0px'}, 3000);
var featureNumber3 = featureNumber-1;
if ( featureNumber == 1) {featureNumber3 = numberOfFeatures};
var OldFeature = "#container" + featureNumber3;
$(OldFeature).stop(false, true).delay(4500).css('top' , '-330px');
setTimeout('if (featureNumber == numberOfFeatures){featureNumber = 1} else {featureNumber++}; ImageRotate2()', 7500)};
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks, Matt
If you were to add this code:
var timerId = null;
function startRotation() {
if (timerId) {
return;
}
timerId = setInterval('if (featureNumber == numberOfFeatures){featureNumber = 1} else {featureNumber++}; ImageRotate2()', 7500);
}
function stopRotation() {
if (!timerId) {
return;
}
clearInterval(timerId);
timerId = null;
}
and replace the last line of your code block with a simple call to startRotation();, then you could call stopRotation and startRotation when the mouse hovers over/leaves your element:
$('your-element-selector').hover(stopRotation, startRotation);
It's not clear what you are trying to do with the three divs without seeing the HTML and more code, so I think a basic example might help you better (demo).
HTML
<div class="test">image: <span></span></div>
Script
$(document).ready(function(){
var indx = 0, loop, numberOfFeatures = 5;
function imageRotate(){
indx++;
if (indx > numberOfFeatures) { indx = 1; }
$('.test span').text(indx);
loop = setTimeout( imageRotate , 1000 );
}
imageRotate();
$('.test').hover(function(){
clearTimeout(loop);
}, function(){
imageRotate();
});
})
changed things up a little bit, here is how I ended up doing it. `
var animRun = false;
var rotateHover = false;
function startRotation() {
rotateHover = false;
ImageRotate();
}
function stopRotation() {
rotateHover = true;
clearTimeout();
}
function ImageRotate() {
if (rotateHover == false){
animRun = true;
var CurrentFeature = "#container" + featureNumber;
$(CurrentFeature).stop(false, true).animate({'top' : '330px'}, featureDuration, function(){animRun = false;});
var featureNumber2 = featureNumber+1;
if ( featureNumber == numberOfFeatures) {featureNumber2 = 1}
var NewFeature = "#container" + featureNumber2;
$(NewFeature).stop(false, true).animate({'top' : '0px'}, featureDuration); /* rotate slide 2 into main frame */
var featureNumber3 = featureNumber-1;
if ( featureNumber == 1) {featureNumber3 = numberOfFeatures};
var OldFeature = "#container" + featureNumber3;
$(OldFeature).stop(false, true).css('top' , '-330px'); /*bring slide 3 to the top*/
//startRotation();
setTimeout('if (featureNumber == numberOfFeatures){featureNumber = 1} else {featureNumber++}; if (rotateHover == false){ImageRotate2()};', featureDelay);
};
};
