Adjust the height of a column dynamically

This is the page I am working on http://bigislandnaturetours.com/tour/
The issue is I am trying to extend the height of the right column to automatically adjust the height of the left column. I use the following JS below which I have tested and works on other sites but not on this one. What might be wrong?
function doResize() {
if ($(window).width() > 981) {
setTimeout(function() {
$(".leftpane").css("height", "auto");
$(".midpanel").css("height", "auto");
var heightLeft = $(".rightpane").height();
var heightMiddle = $(".midpanel").height();
var heightRight = $(".leftpane").height();
if (heightRight > heightMiddle) {
$('.midpanel').css('min-height', heightRight + 2)
} else {
$('.leftpane').css('min-height', heightMiddle + 2)
}
heightMiddle = $(".midpanel").height();
heightRight = $(".leftpane").height();
if (heightLeft >= heightRight) {
$(".leftpane").css("height", heightLeft - 10);
$(".midpanel").css("height", heightLeft - 10);
}
}, 1000);
}
}
$(document).ready(function() {
doResize();
});
$(window).resize(function() {
doResize();
if ($(window).width() < 561) {
$(".leftpane").css("min-height", "auto");
$(".midpanel").css("min-height", "auto");
}
$('.main-nav li').unbind("click");
if ($('.rightpane').css('display') == 'none') {
$('.main-nav li').bind("click", function() {
$(this).addClass('im-curent');
$("ul", this).toggle(100);
});
}
});

The simplest answer is to use flex-box CSS (HTML5 / CSS3) or, for older browsers, a table used in 'presentation' mode.
Both should automatically keep column height in sync.

jQuery: Why can't my script remove the class?

jQuery won't remove the class after scrolling
This is my script:
$(window).scroll(function(){
if($(window).scrollTop() >= $("#white").offset().top -70) {
$('.burger-menu').addClass('white');
} else {
$('.burger-menu').removeClass('white');
}
});
$(window).scroll(function(){
if($(window).scrollTop() >= $("#color-main").offset().top -70) {
$('.burger-menu').addClass('color-main');
} else {
$('.burger-menu').removeClass('color-main');
}
});
$(window).scroll(function(){
if($(window).scrollTop() >= $("#yellow").offset().top -70) {
$('.burger-menu').addClass('yellow');
} else {
$('.burger-menu').removeClass('yellow');
}
});
This is my HTML:
<section class="home-page" id="white">Blablabla</section>
<section class="wrap" id="color-main">Blablabla</section>
<section class="wrap" id="yellow">Blablabla</section>
but my <div>
<div class="burger-menu white color-main yellow">
still has the classes "white" and "color-main", which should be removed. :(
I made a codepen for you to see it.

There are 2 fixes I would recommed you try:
Don't do multiple .scroll(function(){...}) calls, they overwrite each other.
Use $("body").scroll(function(){...}), because that's the element you (usally) scroll in

The below example uses only the IF statement and deletes the other classes. Try this and see if you get the result you desire. Instead of relying on an ELSE that could be broken by another scroll function else statement we simply remove all classes and only add the class you want.
Example:
$(window).scroll(function () {
if ($(window).scrollTop() >= $("#white").offset().top - 70) {
$('.burger-menu').removeClass("color-main").removeClass("yellow").addClass('white');
}
});
$(window).scroll(function () {
if ($(window).scrollTop() >= $("#color-main").offset().top - 70) {
$('.burger-menu').removeClass("white").removeClass("yellow").addClass('color-main');
}
});
$(window).scroll(function () {
if ($(window).scrollTop() >= $("#yellow").offset().top - 70) {
$('.burger-menu').removeClass("color-main").removeClass("white").addClass('yellow');
}
});

I agree with those who suggest putting them all in a single .scroll() function. This worked for me:
(function($) {
$(window).scroll(function () {
if ($(window).scrollTop() >= $("#white").offset().top - 70) {
$('.burger-menu').addClass('white');
} else {
$('.burger-menu').removeClass('white');
}
if ($(window).scrollTop() >= $("#color-main").offset().top - 70) {
$('.burger-menu').addClass('color-main');
} else {
$('.burger-menu').removeClass('color-main');
}
if ($(window).scrollTop() >= $("#yellow").offset().top - 70) {
$('.burger-menu').addClass('yellow');
} else {
$('.burger-menu').removeClass('yellow');
}
});
})(jQuery);

To have only one class active at a time, use removeClass to remove the others. You can use a single scroll event handler, and rearrange the code to look for the last section first, that makes the code simpler:
$(window).scroll(function(){
var top = $(window).scrollTop() + 70;
if (top >= $("#yellow").offset().top) {
$('.burger-menu').removeClass('white color-main').addClass('yellow');
} else if(top >= $("#color-main").offset().top) {
$('.burger-menu').removeClass('white yellow').addClass('color-main');
} else if (top >= $("#white").offset().top) {
$('.burger-menu').removeClass('color-main yellow').addClass('white');
} else {
$('.burger-menu').removeClass('white color-main yellow');
}
});

Another way would be to determine the status for each class:
$(window).scroll(function(){
var top = $(window).scrollTop() + 70;
var white = top >= $("#white").offset().top;
var main = top >= $("#color-main").offset().top;
var yellow = top >= $("#yellow").offset().top;
$('.burger-menu')
.toggleClass('white', white && !main)
.toggleClass('color-main', main && !yellow)
.toggleClass('yellow', yellow);
});

Javascript animate on scroll position

I am trying to get a scrolling animation like here (notice the circle figure fading in when you scroll down):
http://demo.atticthemes.com/skoty/
This is what I have sofar, but it keeps hanging somehow:
http://jsfiddle.net/v4zjgwL6/
var timer;
var triggerHeight = $("#bar").offset().top;
var headerAvatar = $(".header-avatar-wrapper");
$(window).scroll(function() {
if(timer) {
window.clearTimeout(timer);
}
timer = window.setTimeout(function() {
var y = $(window).scrollTop();
if(y > triggerHeight - 220) {
headerAvatar.css("visibility", "visible");
headerAvatar.animate({opacity: 1}, 200);
} else {
headerAvatar.animate({opacity: 0}, 200);
headerAvatar.css("visibility", "hidden");
}
}, 10);
});

You don't need to use a timer, the way you have implemented it causes performance drops.
I would suggest to use css classes instead:
var triggerHeight = $("#bar").offset().top;
var headerAvatar = $(".header-avatar-wrapper");
$(window).scroll(function() {
var y = $(window).scrollTop();
if (y > triggerHeight - 220 && !headerAvatar.hasClass("visible")) {
headerAvatar.addClass("visible");
} else if(y <= triggerHeight - 220 && headerAvatar.hasClass("visible")) {
headerAvatar.removeClass("visible");
}
});
I have also added this class in CSS:
.header-avatar-wrapper.visible{
opacity: 1;
visibility: visible;
}
JSFiddle demo
Or alternatively, use jQuery's .fadeIn() and fadeOut() functions:
var triggerHeight = $("#bar").offset().top;
var headerAvatar = $(".header-avatar-wrapper");
$(window).scroll(function() {
var y = $(window).scrollTop();
if (y > triggerHeight - 220 && headerAvatar.css("display") == "none") {
headerAvatar.fadeIn();
} else if(y <= triggerHeight - 220 && headerAvatar.css("display") == "block") {
headerAvatar.fadeOut();
}
});
In CSS I removed the opacity and visibility properties from .header-avatar-wrapper and added display: none; instead.
JSFiddle demo

Looks like you're only handling the cases where you need to change state (shown or hide the element) and not the cases where nothing should change. This causes you to continuously re-show (re-animate) the thing, which makes it flicker.
It's early and I have not yet had coffee, but something like this should fix you up. :)
var timer;
var triggerHeight = $("#bar").offset().top;
var headerAvatar = $(".header-avatar-wrapper");
var shown; // NEW
$(window).scroll(function() {
if(timer) {
window.clearTimeout(timer);
}
timer = window.setTimeout(function() {
var y = $(window).scrollTop();
var shouldShow = y > triggerHeight - 220; // CHANGED
if(!shown && shouldShow) { // CHANGED
shown = true; // NEW
headerAvatar.css("visibility", "visible");
headerAvatar.animate({opacity: 1}, 200);
} else if (shown && !shouldShow) { // CHANGED
shown = false; // NEW
headerAvatar.animate({opacity: 0}, 200);
headerAvatar.css("visibility", "hidden");
}
}, 10); });

Animation ( bar fills up over time ) with Jquery (Suggestion)

I would like to replicate the same functionality as at ign.com, where the indicator bar fills up over time. I got it working but I got some sync issues after a while. So i'm open to suggestions to do it from scratch (I'm beginner with all this animation stuff).
This is the code.
function GoProgressBar() {
var $lineStatus = $('.featured-articles-line-status');
$lineStatus.css('width', '0px');
$lineStatus.animate({ width: '694px' }, 12000, 'linear', GoProgressBar);
};
function GoOverlay(width, isLast, currentWidth) {
var $overlayLine = $('.status-overlay');
if (isLast) {
$overlayLine.css('width', '0px');
return;
}
if (currentWidth) {
$overlayLine.css('width', currentWidth);
$overlayLine.animate({ width: width }, 700);
} else {
$overlayLine.css('width', '0px');
$overlayLine.animate({ width: width }, 700);
}
};
function ShowNextElement() {
var $elements = $('.element'),
$overlayLine = $('.status-overlay'),
$liElements = $('#elements li'),
width;
if (currentElement === elements[elements.length - 1]) {
currentWidth = $overlayLine.width() + 'px',
width = currentWidth + $($liElements[(elements.length - 1)]).outerWidth() + 'px';
GoOverlay(width, true, currentWidth);
currentElement = elements[0];
$elements.hide();
$(currentElement).fadeIn(1000);
return;
}
i = elements.indexOf(currentElement) + 1;
var currentTab = $liElements[(i - 1)],
currentWidth = $overlayLine.width();
if (currentWidth) {
width = currentWidth + $(currentTab).outerWidth() + 'px';
GoOverlay(width, false, currentWidth);
} else {
width = $(currentTab).outerWidth() + 'px';
GoOverlay(width, false, false);
}
currentElement = elements[i];
$elements.hide();
$(currentElement).fadeIn(1000);
}
Thanks!

You could try this..
There are more features in addition to this,check it out.
Might come useful :)

There are a wealth of ways in which you could do this.
You should have some kind of controller to manage the show and hide.
var Application = {
show : function() {
jQuery('.application-overlay').stop().animate({ top: 40 }, 500);
jQuery('.cf-ribbon').stop().animate({height: 1000},500);
},
hide : function() {
jQuery('.application-overlay').stop().animate({ top: -1200 }, 500);
jQuery('.cf-ribbon').stop().animate({height: 200},500);
}
};
Then you have your triggers : Application.show();
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('.cf-speakers .span2 a').hover(function() {
jQuery('span',this).stop().animate({ opacity: 1.0 },100);
}, function() {
jQuery('span',this).stop().animate({ opacity: 0.0 },100);
});;
jQuery('.apply-now').click(function(e) {
Application.show();
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
});
jQuery('body').click(function(e) {
var application = jQuery('.application-overlay');
if( application.has(e.target).length === 0)
Application.hide();
});
jQuery('.gallery a').click(function(e) {
var src = jQuery(this).attr('href');
jQuery('.main-container img').hide().attr('src', src).fadeIn('fast');
jQuery('.gallery a').each(function() {
jQuery(this).removeClass('active');
});
jQuery(this).addClass('active');
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
});
});
Your css would of course come into play also but that can be left to you!
This should give you an example of what you need .. But you're already on the right track, sometimes there is merit in reusing other people code too you know! :)

Force "overscrolling" at Chrome/Mac with javascript

When you get to the limit of document, you can keep scrolling and can see an background behing the document before it bounces back (overscrolling).
How can I force the window to overscroll like this with javascript?

This is not the ultimate solution since I think the animation is imperfect and it's really only for desktops, but it can at least get you started. What I have done is increase the height of the body for animation on scroll.
$(document).on('scroll mousewheel', function (e) {
//Check for mousewheel scrolling down (or not used at all)
if (!e.originalEvent || !e.originalEvent.wheelDeltaY
|| e.originalEvent.wheelDeltaY < 0) {
if ($(window).height() + $(this).scrollTop() == $(this).height()) {
//Prevent simultaneous triggering of the animation
if (!$("body").data('bouncing')) {
$("body").height(function (_, h) { return h + 15; })
.data('bouncing', true);
$("body, html").animate({
'scrollTop': '+=15'
}, 125).animate({
'scrollTop': '-=15'
}, {duration: 125, complete: function () {
$(this).height(function (_, h) { return h - 15; })
.data('bouncing', false);
}});
}
}
}
}).on('keydown', function (e) {
//The "down" arrow; still bounces when pressed at the bottom of the page
if (e.which == '40') {
$(this).trigger('scroll');
}
});

I've been playing with this version that imitates the effect using a div, that slides in and out of view at the bottom of the page. If you have a high res monitor, you may need to increase the height of the main div to test it.
<div id="main" style="background:#f5f5f5;height:1000px"></div>
<div id="overscroll" style="background:#666666;height:120px"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var $doc = $(document);
$doc.ready(function () {
var $wnd = $(window),
$oscroll = $('#overscroll'),
block = false;
$wnd.bind('scroll', function () {
if (!block) {
block = true;
var scrollTop = $wnd.scrollTop(),
wndHeight = $wnd.height(),
docHeight = $doc.height();
try {
if (scrollTop + (wndHeight + 120) > docHeight) {
$oscroll.slideUp('slow');
}
else if ($oscroll.css('display') === 'none'
&& (scrollTop + (wndHeight + 120) < docHeight)) {
$oscroll.slideDown();
}
} finally {
block = false;
}
}
});
});
</script>
