I am currently modifying this piece of code as apart of a project, it works fine for what I need it to do, however I want a relatively short transition period,but the initial div element only display for a brief moment and the fade process starts.
I was wondering if anyone could help me to correct this. Ideally I would like to set the initial slider timeframe or delay it from triggering the process,
var divs = $('.fade');
function fade() {
var current = $('.current');
var currentIndex = divs.index(current),
nextIndex = currentIndex + 1;
if (nextIndex >= divs.length) {
nextIndex = 0;
}
var next = divs.eq(nextIndex);
current.stop().fadeOut(500, function() {
$(this).removeClass('current');
setTimeout(fade, 5000);
});
next.stop().fadeIn(500, function() {
$(this).addClass('current');
});
}
fade();
To delay the function fade() from starting right away just do:
var divs = $('.fade');
function fade() {
....
}
setTimeout(fade, 5000); //here is the only change
At the end of your code fade() is executed right away. Just add a timeout to it. 5000 is in milliseconds, just switch that to the delay time you want.
Apart from your question, if you wanted to apply the fade function to objects only after you clicked them, you could do this.
$('.fade').on('click',function(){//instead of click you could use any event ex. mouseover
fade();//call fade function
});

so I'm trying to create a simple slide show from scratch, and so far I was able to get full screen images to fade out and fade in infinetly, but for some odd reason using setInterval(function(){fade(var)}, 3500);didn't work, maybe someone can explain why the first and last images took way longer than 3,5 seconds to fade. Meanwhile, I was trying to solve that problem by implementing a callback function in the fade(). My example has four images, and they start fading out until it reaches image one, then don't fade out image one and start fading back in image two until image 4, and do this forever, here is my recent attempt to implement a callback function:
var i = 4;
$(document).ready(function(){
fade(i, fade);
});
var fadeIN = false;
function fade(objectID, callbackfn){
var fadeTime = 3500;
if(!fadeIN){
$("#slide-"+objectID).fadeOut(fadeTime);
i--;
if(i === 1) {
fadeIN = true;
}
}
else{
i++;
$("#slide-"+objectID).fadeIn(fadeTime);
if(i === 4){
fadeIN = false;
}
}
if(arguments[1]){
callbackfn(i);
}
}
But that is not working, it fades out image 4, image 3 and stops on image 2. Maybe there is a way to evenly time the fading transitions using the setIntervel(), if so can someone tell me how? Appreciate any help.
Here is a JSFiddle to the code: http://jsfiddle.net/8kgc0chq/ it is not working tho.
Here is the doc for .fadeOut()
There is an optional argument complete:
A function to call once the animation is complete.
Put the next animation in there, they too take a complete (callback) function.
$("#id").fadeOut(fadeTime, function() {
// code to execute after animation complete
});
You need to do it properly with javascript. Easy way fails after last element.
So here is my solution. Can it be improved further, I think yes.. But it does work now. And is future proof to some extent.
I cleaned up css and changed html structure a little.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/8kgc0chq/3/
$(document).ready(function () {
$(window).resize(function () {
realTimeHeight();
});
realTimeHeight();
startSlides();
});
function startSlides() {
var fadeTime = 1000,
delay = 1300,
i = 0,
slides = $("#hero-slider > .slide"),
len = slides.length;
slides.hide();
var pF = $('<div class="slide">'), pB = pF.clone();
pF.attr('id', slides.eq(i).attr('id'));
$('#hero-slider').prepend(pF).prepend(pB);
setInterval(fadeThisIn, fadeTime + delay);
function fadeThisIn() {
pB.attr('id', pF.attr('id'));
i = ++i % len;
pF.hide().attr('id', slides.eq(i).attr('id')).fadeIn(fadeTime);
}
}
function realTimeHeight() {
var altura = $(window).height();
$("#hero-slider").css("height", altura);
}
This may be a little too specific, but I have a jquery slider that I am using <p> classes instead of images to cycle through customer quotes. Basically the problem I am running into right now is when it is static and non moving (JS code is commeneted out) they are aligned how I want them to be. As soon as the JS is un commented, they stretch out of view and you just see a white box?
Any ideas?
How I want each panel to look like:
jsfiddle
So I sort of made this my Friday project. I've changed a whole lot of your code, and added a vertical-align to the quotes and authors.
Here's the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/qLca2fz4/49/
I added a whole lot of variables to the top of the script so you could less typing throughout.
$(document).ready(function () {
//rotation speed and timer
var speed = 5000;
var run = setInterval(rotate, speed);
var slides = $('.slide');
var container = $('#slides ul');
var elm = container.find(':first-child').prop("tagName");
var item_width = container.width();
var previous = 'prev'; //id of previous button
var next = 'next'; //id of next button
Since you used a % based width I'm setting the pixel widths of the elements in case the screen is reszed
slides.width(item_width); //set the slides to the correct pixel width
container.parent().width(item_width);
container.width(slides.length * item_width); //set the slides container to the correct total width
As you had, I'm rearranging the slides in the event the back button is pressed
container.find(elm + ':first').before(container.find(elm + ':last'));
resetSlides();
I combined the prev and next click events into a single function. It checks for the ID of the element targeted in the click event, then runs the proper previous or next functions. If you reset the setInterval after the click event your browser has trouble stopping it on hover.
//if user clicked on prev button
$('#buttons a').click(function (e) {
//slide the item
if (container.is(':animated')) {
return false;
}
if (e.target.id == previous) {
container.stop().animate({
'left': 0
}, 1500, function () {
container.find(elm + ':first').before(container.find(elm + ':last'));
resetSlides();
});
}
if (e.target.id == next) {
container.stop().animate({
'left': item_width * -2
}, 1500, function () {
container.find(elm + ':last').after(container.find(elm + ':first'));
resetSlides();
});
}
//cancel the link behavior
return false;
});
I've found mouseenter and mouseleave to be a little more reliable than hover.
//if mouse hover, pause the auto rotation, otherwise rotate it
container.parent().mouseenter(function () {
clearInterval(run);
}).mouseleave(function () {
run = setInterval(rotate, speed);
});
I broke this in to its own function because it gets called in a number of different places.
function resetSlides() {
//and adjust the container so current is in the frame
container.css({
'left': -1 * item_width
});
}
});
//a simple function to click next link
//a timer will call this function, and the rotation will begin :)
And here's your rotation timer.
function rotate() {
$('#next').click();
}
It took me a little bit, but I think I figured out a few things.
http://jsfiddle.net/qLca2fz4/28/
First off, your console was throwing a few errors: first, that rotate wasn't defined and that an arrow gif didn't exist. Arrow gif was probably something you have stored locally, but I changed the 'rotate' error by changing the strings in the code here to your actual variables.
So, from:
run = setInterval('rotate()', speed);
We get:
run = setInterval(rotate, speed);
(No () based on the examples here: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_setinterval.asp)
But I think a more important question is why your text wasn't showing up at all. It's because of the logic found here:
$('#slides ul').css({'left' : left_value});
You even say that this is setting the default placement for the code. But it isn't..."left_vaule" is the amount that you've calculated to push left during a slide. So if you inspect the element, you can see how the whole UL is basically shifted one slide's worth too far left, unable to be seen. So we get rid of 'left_value', and replace it with 0.
$('#slides ul').css({'left' : 0});
Now, there's nothing really handling how the pictures slide in, so that part's still rough, but this should be enough to start on.
Let me know if I misunderstood anything, or if you have any questions.
So, a few things:
1) I believe you are trying to get all of the lis to be side-by-side, not arranged up and down. There are a few ways to do this. I'd just make the ul have a width of 300%, and then make the lis each take up a third of that:
#slides ul {
....
width: 300%;
}
#slides li {
width: calc(100% / 3);
height:250px;
float:left;
}
2) You got this right, but JSFiddle automatically wraps all your JS inside a $(document).ready() handler, and your function, rotate needs to be outside, in the normal DOM. Just change that JSFiddle setting from 'onload' to 'no wrap - in head'
3) Grabbing the CSS value of an element doesn't always work, especially when you're dealing with animating elements. You already know the width of the li elements with your item_width variable. I'd just use that and change your code:
var left_indent = parseInt($('#slides ul').css('left')) - item_width;
$('#slides ul').animate({'left' : left_indent}, 1500, function () {
to:
$('#slides ul').stop().animate({'left' : -item_width * 2}, 1500, function () {
4) Throw in the .stop() as seen in the above line. This prevents your animations from overlapping. An alternative, and perhaps cleaner way to do this, would be to simply return false at the beginning of your 'next' and 'prev' functions if #slides ul is being animated, like so:
if ($('#slides ul').is(':animated')) return false;
And I think that's everything. Here's the JSFiddle. Cheers!
EDIT:
Oh, and you may also want to clearInterval at the beginning of the next and prev functions and then reset it in the animation callback functions:
$('#prev').click(function() {
if ($('#slides ul').is(':animated')) return false;
clearInterval(run);
$('#slides ul').stop().animate({'left' : 0}, 1500,function(){
....
run = setInterval('rotate()', speed);
});
});
I'm trying to build a simple image slider (but using a fade effect). Every two seconds, the image should change to another image. At the end, it should call repeat_sponsor() again, to start over, so it becomes a loop.
I've written this (highly ineffective) code for 5 images. Turns out I'm going to need it for around 50 images. My editor just freezes when I add too much code.
I've tried using while-loops, but I just can't figure it out how to do this the right way.
Anyone who can help me with this?
function repeat_sponsor()
{
$("#sponsor2").hide();
$("#sponsor3").hide();
$("#sponsor4").hide();
$("#sponsor5").fadeOut("slow");
$("#sponsor1").fadeIn("slow", function() {
setTimeout(function(){$("#sponsor2").fadeIn("slow", function() {
setTimeout(function(){$("#sponsor3").fadeIn("slow", function() {
setTimeout(function(){$("#sponsor4").fadeIn("slow", function() {
setTimeout(function(){$("#sponsor5").fadeIn("slow", ...
(function (){
var cnt = 50; //set to the last one...
var max=50;
function show() {
$("#sponsor" + cnt).fadeOut("slow"); //if you want the fadeout to be done before showing next, put the following code in the complete callback
cnt++;
if(cnt>max) {
cnt=1;
}
$("#sponsor" + cnt).fadeIn("slow");
window.setTimeout(show, 2000);
}
show();
})();
But the real issue is the fact you are loading tons of images from the start. You will be better off changing it so you only have a small subset of images and change the source.
You should use some sort of for loop and a class for hiding the images. and add a max value that if checks out resets c & i
var i=0;
var c=1;
function repeat_sponsor()
{
$("#sponsor"+i).fadeOut("slow");
$(".sponsers").hide()
$("#sponsor"+c).fadeIn("slow", function() {
window.setTimeout(repeat_sponsor(), 3000);
}
i++;
c++;
}
Just run a function every two seconds with setInterval and appropriately target your different sponsor divs:
var i = 1;
var max = 50;
setInterval(function() {
// Could target all other sponsor images with a class "sponsor"
$('.sponsor').fadeOut();
// Execute code on the target
$("#sponsor" + i).fadeIn();
if (i === max) {
i = 0;
}
i++;
}, 2000);
So I've created the following function to fade elements in and passed in a div that I want to fade in which in this case is an image gallery popup that I want to show when a user clicks an image thumbnail on my site. I'm also passing in a speed value (iSpeed) which the timeout uses for it's time value. In this case I'm using 25 (25ms).
I've stepped through this function whilst doing so it appears to be functioning as expected. If the current opacity is less than 1, then it is incremented and it will recall itself after the timeout until the opacity reaches 1. When it reaches one it stops fading and returns.
So after stepping through it, I take off my breakpoints and try to see it in action but for some reason my gallery instantly appears without any sense of fading.
var Effects = new function () {
this.Fading = false;
this.FadeIn = function (oElement, iSpeed) {
//set opacity to zero if we haven't started fading yet.
if (this.Fading == false) {
oElement.style.opacity = 0;
}
//if we've reached or passed max opacity, stop fading
if (oElement.style.opacity >= 1) {
oElement.style.opacity = 1;
this.Fading = false;
return;
}
//otherwise, fade
else {
this.Fading = true;
var iCurrentOpacity = parseFloat(oElement.style.opacity);
oElement.style.opacity = iCurrentOpacity + 0.1;
setTimeout(Effects.FadeIn(oElement, iSpeed), iSpeed);
}
}
}
Here's where I'm setting up the gallery.
this.Show = function (sPage, iImagesToDisplay, oSelectedImage) {
//create and show overlay
var oOverlay = document.createElement('div');
oOverlay.id = 'divOverlay';
document.body.appendChild(oOverlay);
//create and show gallery box
var oGallery = document.createElement('div');
oGallery.id = 'divGallery';
oGallery.style.opacity = 0;
document.body.appendChild(oGallery);
//set position of gallery box
oGallery.style.top = (window.innerHeight / 2) - (oGallery.clientHeight / 2) + 'px';
oGallery.style.left = (window.innerWidth / 2) - (oGallery.clientWidth / 2) + 'px';
//call content function
ImageGallery.CreateContent(oGallery, sPage, iImagesToDisplay, oSelectedImage);
//fade in gallery
Effects.FadeIn(oGallery, 25);
}
Could anyone help me out?
Also, I'm using IE10 and I've also tried Chrome, same result.
Thanks,
Andy
This line:
setTimeout(Effects.FadeIn(oElement, iSpeed), iSpeed);
calls Effects.FadeIn with the given arguments, and feeds its return value into setTimeout. This is exactly like foo(bar()), which calls bar immediately, and then feeds its return value into foo.
Since your FadeIn function doesn't return a function, that would be the problem.
Perhaps you meant:
setTimeout(function() {
Effects.FadeIn(oElement, iSpeed);
}, iSpeed);
...although you'd be better off creating that function once and reusing it.
For instance, I think this does what you're looking for, but without recreating functions on each loop:
var Effects = new function () {
this.FadeIn = function (oElement, iSpeed) {
var fading = false;
var timer = setInterval(function() {
//set opacity to zero if we haven't started fading yet.
if (fading == false) { // Consider `if (!this.Fading)`
oElement.style.opacity = 0;
}
//if we've reached or passed max opacity, stop fading
if (oElement.style.opacity >= 1) {
oElement.style.opacity = 1;
clearInterval(timer);
}
//otherwise, fade
else {
fading = true;
var iCurrentOpacity = parseFloat(oElement.style.opacity);
oElement.style.opacity = iCurrentOpacity + 0.1;
}
}, iSpeed);
};
};
Your code has a lot of problems. The one culpable for the element appearing immediately is that you call setTimeout not with a function but with the result of a function, because Effects.FadeIn will be executed immediately.
setTimeout(function(){Effects.FadeIn(oElement, iSpeed)}, iSpeed);
will probably act as you intend.
But seriously, you probably should not re-invent this wheel. jQuery will allow you to fade elements in and out easily and CSS transitions allow you to achieve element fading with as much as adding or removing a CSS class.
T.J. and MoMolog are both right about the bug: you're invoking the Effects.FadeIn function immediately before passing the result to setTimeout—which means that Effects.FadeIn calls itself synchronously again and again until the condition oElement.style.opacity >= 1 is reached.
As you may or may not know, many UI updates that all take place within one turn of the event loop will be batched together on the next repaint (or something like that) so you won't see any sort of transition.
This jsFiddle includes the suggested JS solution, as well as an alternate approach that I think you may find to be better: simply adding a CSS class with the transition property. This will result in a smoother animation. Note that if you go this route, though, you may need to also include some vendor prefixes.
I have a jsfiddle for this
Jsfiddle
The problem is, I am trying to create a script that ones a button is clicked flashes an image (car lights) on and off for a period of time. It works fine, but in IE8 since the lights are png the animation for it is causing a black background and border as it blinks on and off. So I trying to duplicate the same thing, but without using animation.
In my jsfiddle, the first function for the first click div represents what i am trying to do without animation, but it is not repeating. The code:
$('.oneD').click(function(){
for (var i = 0; i <= 9; i++) {
$('.oneP').show();
setTimeout(function(){
$('.oneP').hide();
}, 1000);
}
});
The 2nd function is the one I already created that does work, but it has the animation:
$('.twoD').click(function(){
for (var i = 0; i <= 9; i++) {
$(".twoP").fadeIn(1000, function () {
$(".twoP").hide();
});
}
});
Keep in mind that the jsfiddle is just a simple mock not using images. I am just looking for the functionality in which i can incorporate this. I appreciate your time in helping me with this.
instead of setTimeout() use setInterval() and clearInterval() like this:
$('.oneD').click(function(){
$('.oneP').show();
var interval = setInterval(function(){
$('.oneP').hide();
}, 1000);
//*after a number of time or loop
interval.clearInterval();
});
setInterval() "Loop" throught the function it is given every number of millisecond you pass it. and clearInterval() stop the "Loop".
I'd do it like this :
$('.oneD, .twoD').on('click', function(){
for (var i=0; i<9; i++)
$('.'+this.className.replace('D', 'P')).delay(1000).show(0)
.delay(1000).hide(0);
});
FIDDLE
This uses a selector for both elements and the same event handler, then swaps out the D for a P in the showing and hiding.
As for using delay() and making this work, hide() and show() will work just as the animated jQuery methods if a value for the duration is passed, even if that value is zero.
Fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/HxFpr/
var i;
$('.twoD').click(function(){
i = 0;
loopFlash();
});
function loopFlash(){
if(i < 10){ // flash 5 times (1 on 1 off = 2 cycles)
$('.twoP').toggle();
var flashing = setTimeout(loopFlash,500);
}
i++;
}
Yet another solution for you.
No Animation - with single interval
With animation - pure jQuery
http://jsfiddle.net/x6Kpv/6/
var noAnimationHandler = function() {
setInterval(function() {
var $el = $('.oneP');
$el[$el.is(":visible") ? "hide" : "show"]();
}, 800);
};
var animationHanddler = function() {
$('.twoP').fadeIn(300, function() {
$(this).delay(150).fadeOut(300, animationHanddler);
});
}
$('.oneD').click(noAnimationHandler);
$('.twoD').click(animationHanddler);
Thanks
