I'm creating a custom carousel for my current project. Here's a simplified version (only tested in Chrome/Mac):
http://codepen.io/troywarr/pen/LpQzbv
Note that when the carousel scrolls, you can see that each page (1-5) butts up flush against its neighbor on the left and right sides (looking like a single double-thick border). I'd like to add a 5px-wide gutter between the left and right borders of each page so that the borders don't touch.
However, since this is a fluid-width carousel, this has proven to be more difficult than expected.
I need to support IE9+, so I can't rely on calc() values or CSS animations; I'd probably need to do this via jQuery .animate(), but when the horizontal position to which I'm animating is basically 100% + 5px, I can't figure out how to express that in code.
How would I go about that? Is there, perhaps, another clever way to set up the carousel that allows me to use margins, padding, table cell padding, etc. to my benefit? Or, any other ideas? I've played around with different approaches for a couple of hours and I'm running out of ideas.
UPDATE:
Just to clarify what I mean by "gutter" - I'd like there to be a 5px empty gap between the left and right sides of each page in the carousel. Each page should retain its own borders, but there should be empty whitespace between them (only noticeable on scroll). Here's an example that uses calc() and CSS transitions to do exactly what I want (only tested in Chrome):
http://codepen.io/troywarr/pen/GpQYPj
I just need to find a comparable solution that is compatible with IE9+ (which calc() and CSS animations are not).
Applying border-box to everything will allow you to add paddings without breaking the layout.
// See an explanation here:
// http://www.paulirish.com/2012/box-sizing-border-box-ftw/
html {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
*, *:before, *:after {
box-sizing: inherit;
}
EDIT:
Sorry, you were already doing this. Here is my take on it:
.window {
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
// Add these two rules
// The idea is to make a static frame, except for the right column
// which is the one being repainted.
border: 5px solid #666;
border-right: 0;
}
...
.slider li {
float: left;
width: 20%;
height: 100%;
background-color: #ccc;
display: table;
border-right: 5px solid #666; // <- Paint the right column only
}

Okay I apologize if this is a repeat - but I couldn't find any working answers anywhere.
I want to have two divs (50% width each) side by side... so a left and a right - inside of a content div (see photo below).
I want them to have min-widths at 300px and once the page gets smaller than 600px (which is when both divs will reach their mins) I want to divs to wrap.. so one on top the other.
I've tried to do that here: fiddle but am having problems.
Here is EXACTLY what I want:
You're making things hard for yourself! This can be done quickly and easily with inline-blocks. Have a nice JSfiddle.
Lets explain the code:
.wrapper
{
text-align: center; /* specifies that the inline-blocks (which are treated
like text here) will be centered. */
font-size: 0; /* Explained later */
max-width: 1000px; /* Your desired max-width */
position: relative; /* These two lines center your wrapper in the page. */
margin: 0 auto;
}
Now for the inside 50% elements:
.left, .right{
display: inline-block; /* This will treat these divs like a text element.
This will work with the parent's "text-align: center" to center the element. */
min-width: 300px;
width: 50%;
font-size: 16px; /* Explained below */
vertical-align: text-top; /* Explained below */
}
You might be wondering why font-size is included. It is because with this method comes a little quirk - if a font size is kept at default, the div's will have an annoying gap between them that can not be eliminated with margin.
However, adding font-size: 0; to the parent element eliminates this gap. It's weird, and you then have to specify the font-size for your children elements, but it's well worth it for the ease of use.
But there's still a problem - the blue element is pushed down, and isn't flush on the top. This can be remedied with vertical-align: text-top; This will make sure all Div elements are aligned by the tops, so they lay in a more pleasant pattern. This is just another little quirk to remember when using inline-blocks. I know it seems like a lot of things to fix just for something this simple, but compared to your other options using inline-block is the cleanest and easiest way of going about this. (Though if you prefer, jshanley offers a very good alternative using float elements)
Also, because these children are now treated like text, they will automatically reposition themselves when the window gets too small! No media-queries needed. Yay.
Good luck.
Instead of using inline-block which causes some sizing quirks, you can use block elements, and float both .left and .right to the left, giving each a width of 50%.
Then to make them stack you need to do a little calculating. Since you specified that the wrapper is 80% of the page width, and the break point for the content is at 600px (each element 300px) the page's breakpoint would be at 750px since 80% of 750 is 600.
You can make a media query that will only apply styles when the page width is less than 750px and set .left and .right to width 100% to make them stack.
#media only screen and (max-width: 750px) {
.left, .right {
width: 100%;
}
}
It's very simple to implement, and gives a good result, here's the fiddle.
I think both #jshanley and #emn178's answers do the trick, but I want to point something out:
The display: inline-block; css property doesn't work with float: right nor float: left, since when you use the float property, it ALWAYS automatically set the display property to block.
Since you're doing this:
.right{
min-width:100px;
background-color:purple;
height:100%;
margin-left:50%;
display:inline-block;
}
The display: inline-block; property is doing nothing.
left and right could have same layout, so I add a class block.
To use float:left and width:50%, it should work.
http://jsfiddle.net/emn178/mzbku/7/
I add media query, it should be what you want.
But you need to calculate how to set the size.
I'm still to this day surprised when I run into the slideDown jumpy bug in jQuery. Been reading so much about it, articles on jQuery for designers and so on. Still can't wrap my head around it.
Is there still no easy way to solve this without storing heights and so on? Any other take to get to the same result?
Made a basic example of my code in question, but I guess it's the same as in any other buggy case.
http://jsbin.com/oyokoc/20/edit
There is no bug as such you are saying in slidetoggle actually,
The problem is with how the browser behave to the default padding and margin for the tags like p, if they are not visible the default padding and margin are not added,
but as soon they become visible they are added in the layout and i.e. the reason of this jumping you are mentioning.
Here is something I did for ignoring these implementation error:
.more{
display: none;
background: #eee;
/* added to make the margin and padding instead of p */
padding: 5px;
margin-top: 5px;
}
/* removing the default margin and padding of p */
p{
margin: 0px;
padding :0px;
}
Here is the demo http://jsbin.com/udexix/1/
UPDATE
If you want to use multiple p and dont want to change the default padding and margins, what you can do is you can change the display style for all the p to inline-block
Here is the code for that as well:
.more{
display: none;
background: #eee;
/* no changes here */
}
/* changing the display property of p */
p{
display: inline-block;
}
Here is the demo 2 http://jsbin.com/udexix/8/
I currently have a div appearing on hover, but it just pops up rather than sliding in:
#home-heroImage{
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px auto;
width:980px;
height: 525px;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
background-color: #fcba2e;
}
#home-hero-pop{
background-color: #ffffff;
opacity:0.8;
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=80)";
filter: alpha(opacity=80);
font: 16px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
color: #6d6e70;
text-align: left;
padding: 10px;
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
top: 0px;
height: 505px;
width: 460px;
z-index: 2;
}
Fiddle.
After looking through the posts on SO, I found this example, which would work if I could get it to slide in from the right instead of the bottom. I don't know much about JavaScript or jQuery so the modifications I've tried to make to this code are not producing the desired effect:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.up-down').mouseover(function(){
$('.default').stop().animate({
height: 0
}, 200);
}).mouseout(function(){
$('.default').stop().animate({
height: 200
}, 200)
})
});
Fiddle.
I've tried reading several JavaScript articles online but they're over my head right now.
Based on the example you give, here's it sliding in from the right.. is this what you are after? http://jsfiddle.net/jPneT/208/
EDIT 2017
Too much jQuery
You're right, here's a CSS alternative
.left-right {
overflow:hidden;
height:200px;
width:200px;
position:relative;
background-color:#333;
}
.slider {
width:200px;
height:200px;
position:absolute;
top:0;
right:-200px;
background-color:#000;
color:#fff;
transition:0.4s ease;
}
.left-right:hover .slider {
right:0;
}
<div class="left-right">
<div class="slider">Welcome !</div>
</div>
My answer uses no JavaScript. CSS can handle this automatically for you.
Here's a link to a fork of your code as a working example:
http://jsfiddle.net/g105b/Adk8r/11/
There is only a little change from your example. Rather than hiding the element and showing it with display property, the element is placed off-screen using right: -480px (where 480 is the cumulative width), and moving it to right: 0 when the mouse hovers.
Using CSS transitions provides the animation, and support is very good now: http://www.caniuse.com/#search=transition
This technique allows all browsers back to IE6 view and use your website, but users with older browsers will not have an enhanced experience. Unless you require the animation - as in, it is a feature for it to animate - I would suggest using CSS transitions to futureproof your website and use web standards.
Users of deprecated browsers deserve a deprecated experience.

As said: please learn to write logical and correct HTML. Your markup is invalid and unlogical. You should perfect your HTML and CSS and then study JavaScript and jQuery rather than trying to get a hang of everything at once. This code is a pain to the eye.
Here's what's wrong:
Try to avoid large chunks of inline style and JavaScript.
You use a span where one would use a heading-tag (<h1>Welcome</h1>) and style it via CSS.
You use line breaks <br /> where one would use paragraphs:
<p>This div appears on hover but I would like to slide in from the right instead of just appearing.</p>
There's no structure in your code. This is not necessary to create a working website, but it's good practice to give child elements an indent of two or four spaces. This way, it's very clear for yourself which element is which child or parent. The same is true for your CSS rules: it's better to put your selector first and then the rules (indented) like so:
h1 {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 160%;
}
You have a closing </a> tag but there's no opening <a>.
There is a very simple way to do it using css3.
instead of going through the hassle of javascript
try something like in the CSS:
div.move {
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
background:#0000FF;
color:#FFFFFF;
padding:10px;
}
/*on mouse hover*/
div.move:hover {
/*General*/
transform:translate(200px,100px);
/*Firefox*/
-moz-transform:translate(200px,200px);
/*Microsoft Internet Explorer*/
-ms-transform:translate(200px,100px);
/*Chrome, Safari*/
-webkit-transform:translate(200px,100px);
/*Opera*/
-o-transform:translate(200px,100px);
}
in the HTML:
<div class="move">Anything is here moves!</div>
Also the translate works on an x/y axis.
This is very simple. All you need is HTML, CSS and jQuery.
Make a solid div.
Make the parent div to hide overflow (overflow:hidden) in CSS.
Assign a margin-left of 100% (or some length) that the required div hides away because of margin.
Do a jquery animate() function to bring down margin-left to 0 or 0%.
You can also set the speed of animation by giving time in ms (milliseconds) or some expression like slow or fast
Is there a library that can help to make a scrolling bar, which scrolls for a div in HTML?
Let's say there's a div that's 200 X 200, but everything inside this div is actually 200 * 1000, so you have to scroll down to see everything.
You can use Tiny Scrollbar, which is based on JQuery.
You should use
overflow: auto;
for automatic scrollbar insertion, and
overflow: scroll;
to make it appears.
*You tagged CSS.
ADDED
You can use CSS3 to style your scrollbars: (Even Google is using them, just take a look in the console.)
http://css-tricks.com/custom-scrollbars-in-webkit/
http://www.webkit.org/blog/363/styling-scrollbars/
Note: IE does not support CSS3 (as always), so you'll have to use the good old IE-specific way to style them.
Currently Webkit browsers will support it: (like Chrome and Safari)
::-webkit-scrollbar {
width: 12px;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
border-radius: 10px;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
border-radius: 10px;
background: gray;
}
TEST IT OUT HERE.
However, this won't work in Firefox, because they think users hate those fancy scrollbars. So if you really really want to change it, you might try jScrollPane, which is a jQuery plugin and is easy to use. IMO, CSS is way better than a plugin, since it contains fewer characters to download.
Let's say you want to place the scrolling bar on the following div:
<div class="myscrolling" >blah blah...</div>
The CSS:
div.myscrolling{
height:200px;
width:200px;
overflow:auto;
}
I wrote a small script to let a label move out of the way everytime the corresponding input field is needed.
Please check it out here: http://jsfiddle.net/5nZWJ/68/
The problem is: it works just as expected in Firefox, but all other browsers I tried (Chromium, Internet Explorer and others) don't keep the bottom-border justified (hard to explain but you will see it if you try it out).
What do I have to change to make this thing in all browsers look like in Firefox?
Thank you in advance!
I have solved your problem. It is now smooth in all browsers: http://jsfiddle.net/5nZWJ/70/
The key is having #formWrapper positioned absolutely from the bottom. This means when the height is increased it expands from the bottom up and doesn't need to recalculate the position from the top.
CSS:
#wrapper {
background-color: lightblue;
height: 110px;
width: 500px;
position:relative; /* Allows absolute figures to be predictable */
}
#formWrapper {
background-color: yellow;
border-bottom: 4px solid red;
bottom: 29px; /* Changed from top and new measurement added */
left: 120px;
height: 57px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
width: 108px;
}
JavaScript:
I removed all lines of code referring to the position, as it no longer needs to be changed or recalculated.
I think this might be related how different browsers count border pixels
http://ejohn.org/blog/sub-pixel-problems-in-css/
(not actually the same problem, but you get some idea)
Instead of using border, I recommend you add a div wrapper around the element, with the background color set to border color and padding set to the border width.
