I have a form, that when the "Next" button is clicked, a new div appears in place of the old one with this code:
function showDiv() {
document.getElementById('2').style.display="block";
document.getElementById('1').style.display="none";
}
I am then, once the form is submitted, sending my data to a server so that it is emailed to me. The problem is that the previous action, the transition between divs after the button click, is being performed far too quickly. People have told me that it would look a lot better with some sort of transition or a quick loading icon, and that it doesn't look authentic.
Is there any way to have my second div "slide" into the position of the new one? Or some sort of transition? Keep in mind, this is just switching two divs out for one another. No actual data is being processed yet, and no new page is being loaded. Or is there any way to create a loading icon on this action to last for 1second?
Thank you for your help.
Try this
// send data
// show loading gif
setTimeout(function () {
// hide loading gif
// show other div
}, 2000);
You get a 2 second delay this way. Hope it helps.
I assume you're open to using jQuery based on your tags. jQuery offers a number of ways to animate changes to divs. .animate() provides a way to do custom animations, or your can use one of the provided options. In your case, perhaps something like .fadeToggle() would work?

I am working with the skrollr plugin.
I have a set of arrows. One points down and the other up. When you click the down arrow it takes you to the next section/chapter of the animation. Right now it works great. But my issues is lets say the user does the following:
He/she scrolls half way through the page(lets say section 5). They then decided to see how much of the animation is left. So they click the next section arrow.
This user will be put to section 2 even though they are at section 5 because I have no way to detect when the user hits each section so I can update the arrow #hrefAnchor.
What I was thinking is adding an interval/ event listener that would detect when the section is visible on the DOM and update the arrows to take you to the previous and next sections.
Does anyone know how I can approach this idea?... and will work in ie >= 9
If you're willing to modify the Skrollr library, something I had done was add:
else if(prop === 'javascript') {
eval(val);
}
as an option in skrollr.setStyle which allows then for you to add a hook for arbitrary JavaScript code on elements like each section here using data-XXX="javascript:myFunction();" and I believe Skrollr will even still interpolate numbers in your arguments for you.
If you have control of what gets executed when "next" is clicked, can you check the scroll value at that time to determine which section it is between and switch on that to send them to the appropriate section? Essentially, rather than trying to keep the target current at all times which is wasteful/difficult/error prone, just calculate it when it matters - when the click occurs.
If you give your element a class like "visible", you could select all the visible elements by using jQuery:
$(".element.visible:last-of-type").on("click", function() {
});
So I'm webmastering this page full of ebulletins and ppl are asking options to sort different bulletins by their importance. So I created this nice little JQuery thingy:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#show_all").click(function() {
localStorage.setItem("show","all");
$("div#tiedotteet_infonet div").css("display","block");
});
});
So the div element which display value I'm changing is none in css and I'm using JQuery to switch it to block but I also wan't to store this click into localStorage to key-value-pair "show" and "all", so I can make code to check which is the users preference when she comes back to the page. The button and similarly constructed buttons work fine in the way that they are showing or hiding the div elements (and the bulletins inside them) when the user is clicking different buttons. But the code won't store anything to localStorage according to Chrome. I'm obviously doing something wrong here. What that might be?
I managed to get some js to work to my surprise, now I want to make it a little more complex which is way out of my expertise.
I have a button when clicked will reload a iframe that is on my page. I have multiple iframes all but 1 are hidden. Then I use jquery to display a different iframe and hidden the previous depending on the nav button clicked. e.g. "1-btn" (nav btn) tied to "1-win" (iframe), "2-btn" (nav btn) tied to "2-win" (iframe) etc. So when you click "2-btn", "1-win" iframe hides and "2-win" iframe is displayed. Now I want to change my code so this ties into my reload javasrcipt. Currently, my js only reloads 1 iframe via the iframe id. I want to change this id every time to a different iframe. This will allow my Reload btn to only reload the current iframe displayed and not any of the other that are hidden.
Here is my Reload js
function Reload () {
var f = document.getElementById('1-win');
f.src = f.src;
}
As you can see this reload script only works for iframe "1-win". When i click "2-btn" nav to display "2-win" iframe (and hides "1-win") the reload button still only works for "1-win". Therefore, I want it to also change. For e.g. when I click "2-btn" (nav) to display "2-win" iframe I want to change the Reload id to "2-win" also.
I was thinking of using onClick within my nav buttons which passed through the id of the iframe which that nav btn is tied to. However, I have no idea how to do this.
For full code see:

Sorry if this doesn't make any sense, I cant think of an easier way to explain it.
Thanks
EDIT
This below answer may or may not still apply now that the problem has been better defined.
One approach you could try is having a hidden field on the page which contains a semi-colon separated list of the Id's of the iframes. E.g.
<input type="hidden" name="iframeids" value="1;2;3;4;5">
On the click event of your button, call some JavaScript which gets the value of the hidden field, takes the first token before the semicolon, and then reorganise the string. An example:
// Next value is 1
// Use 1 in your JS
// Put 1 to the end, next is now 2
<input type="hidden" name="iframeids" value="2;3;4;5;1">
You would contain the logic of re-arranging etc. in the JS function.
Now that the problem is better defined, we can work out a proper solution.
Here are some design considerations:
Ideally you do not want to manually add a new button for every iframe that you put on the page. Main reason being code maintenance. If you were to add a new iframe, or remove one, your code would not function correctly. Also the amount of mark-up required will be unnecessarily high
jQuery will make your life easier, although it's not required, it will cut out a lot of code. I can't stress enough the importance of knowing JavaScript basics first, but this is your responsibility to learn
For point 1, what we would like is a generic solution so that if you add more iframes, the buttons are added automatically. JavaScript is the way to do this (I'm assuming this is just HTML, not ASP.net or php or some other server side
Point 2 - jQuery will help with point 1.
Now we have this understanding, let's look at an outline of what we need to do:
In JavaScript, loop through the iframe tags on the page
For each iframe, generate a button using jquery, using the values like src and id in the iframe as attributes on the button
Add some click-event code to the button do define what it needs to do when clicked
Again using jQuery, add the newly created buttons to the DOM
This did the trick:
function Reload()
{
$("iframe").each(function()
{
if($(this).is(':visible'))
$(this).attr('src', $(this).attr('src'));
});
}
Really hope someone can help with this.
I am building a site and need to be able to have people display a price based on their preferred option.
To see what I mean, please look at this link where it is done perfectly: https://swiftype.com/pricing
...when people select monthly or yearly, the displayed price in the chart beneath changes dynamically and instantly (without page reload).
This is what I need (except with three option to choose, not one). I suspect it is jquery with dynamic divs, but I cannot make it happen.
If anyone can help, I would be so so grateful.
Best wishes, and thanks for your time. AB.
// make the billing period selected tabs work
$(function() {
var $pricingTable = $('#pricing-table');
$('#billing-picker .tab').click(function() {
var $selectedTab = $(this);
var selectedPeriod = $selectedTab.data('period-length');
$('.tab').removeClass('selected');
$selectedTab.addClass('selected');
$pricingTable.removeClass().addClass(selectedPeriod);
})
});
This is the SCRIPT which does the selection of button ..
The link that you provide, is using a monthly or yearly class to hide and show the divs that already contains the prices, without any Ajax call. Try to inspect the elements with firebug or other console and you will see by yourself how is working.
You can either have an empty div which, on button click loads ajax content dynamically. If it's always going to be the same content, than I would suggest just have three divs and simply hiding the ones that are not being shown.
Have a look into the Jquery 'hide' method.
Hope that helps
I'm currently building an application using Sencha Touch. We have a certain Carousel on a page that contains multiple items. Upon clicking a button on a different panel, certain items are added and removed to the panel.
The problem: all works as planned for the first click, but clicking upon clicking the same button again, the functionality stops working and the Carousel display turns blank, with none of the items visible.
Below is the handler for the buttons that change the content of the carousel itemsCarousel. The function adds itemPanels[ b.getBadgeText() ] to the itemsCarousel's items. For the first four clicks or so, this works great. After around then, when I click a button, all the items in the Carousel vanish, and I cannot add or remove any more content, even invoking the Carousel manually from the console.
handler: function(b, e) {
itemsCarousel.insert(1, itemPanels[ b.getBadgeText() ]);
itemsCarousel.doLayout(); itemsCarousel.doComponentLayout();
itemsCarousel.setActiveItem(1);
itemsCarousel.remove(0, false);
}
Things I have attempted:
Changing the order by inserting the item at slot 0, setting 0 active, and then removing 1.
Putting javascript breakpoints on each of the lines, seeing where the carousel goes blank. Sometimes it occours at the .insert() statement, sometimes at the .remove().
Doing all this manually, from the console.
Tweaking the autoDestroy parameter in the .remove() call (as seen above) and in the declaration of itemsCarousel.
If you need more code I can post whatever you think may be relevant, I didn't want to pollute this thread with excess code. Thanks for your help!
Edit: If anyone knows another way to reproduce the same functionality, I am open to that as well. I am thinking perhaps creating a dummy holder Container with one item, a carousel, and deleting the entire carousel and re-adding a brand new (with the new items) one upon the button click?
Well, I figured out how to reproduce the functionality using a different method.
I built multiple carousels, each containing the panels I wanted, and then had a root panel that simply sets the active carousel based on button presses. For example, the hierarchy looks like this now:
rootPanel
{
carousel[0]
{
panel1
panel2
}
carousel[1]
{
panel3
panel4
}
...
}
and I perform rootPanel.setActiveItem(x) to display the new carousel.
