scrollTop(); animation issues - javascript

I'm at a complete loss here. I'll provide what I currently have below, but for some reason, every iteration I try, something goes wrong...either the animation of scroll doesn't work but the other functions work, the animation of scroll does work but other functions do not work, all doesn't work, or all does work but animation flickers...
I tried to comment everything the best I could and have gotten to a point where if I use return false; either in 1 location or another, part of the entire function works, as mentioned above.
In a nut-shell, I'm trying to create an if/else statement that allows for scrolling animation as well as other functions to run all by clicking (1) single div. This div, aside from scrolling back to top with scroll animation, changes it's text AND should focus on a form element.
Any suggestions?
$('.sign_in').click(function () {
// IMPORTANT - This scrolls the page back to top if user clicks on '.sign_in' div - May need fixed as it flickers for some reason...
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: 0
}, 350); // NOTE: Set second number to '0' to eliminate flicker - however, doing this also eliminates scroll animation speed...
// return false; // NOTE: Having 'return false;' stated here allows for smooth scrolling without flicker but disables the rest of the functions...
// IMPORTANT - If/Else statement changes text on '.sign_in' div
if ($(this).text() == 'REGISTER') {
$(this).text('LOGIN');
// IMPORTANT - This autofocuses on form element for 'Register' form
$('.fname').focus();
} else {
$(this).text('REGISTER');
// IMPORTANT - This autofocuses on form element for 'Login' form
$('.uname').focus();
}
// IMPORTANT - This flips the form if user clicks on '.sign_in' div
$('#formContainer').toggleClass('flipped');
// return false; // NOTE: Having 'return false;' stated here allows all functions to run but causes flicker on scroll animation...
});

The problem seems to be in setting focus to the input element, set it after the animation and it should be fine
$('.sign_in').click(function () {
var $this = $(this), counter = 0;
// IMPORTANT - This scrolls the page back to top if user clicks on '.sign_in' div - May need fixed as it flickers for some reason...
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: 0
}, 350, function(){
if(++counter>1){return;}
// IMPORTANT - If/Else statement changes text on '.sign_in' div
if ($this.text().toUpperCase().trim() == 'REGISTER') {
$this.text('LOGIN');
// IMPORTANT - This autofocuses on form element for 'Register' form
$('.fname').focus();
} else {
$this.text('REGISTER');
// IMPORTANT - This autofocuses on form element for 'Login' form
$('.uname').focus();
}
}); // NOTE: Set second number to '0' to eliminate flicker - however, doing this also eliminates scroll animation speed...
// IMPORTANT - This flips the form if user clicks on '.sign_in' div
$('#formContainer').toggleClass('flipped');
// return false; // NOTE: Having 'return false;' stated here allows for smooth scrolling without flicker but disables the rest of the functions...
// return false; // NOTE: Having 'return false;' stated here allows all functions to run but causes flicker on scroll animation...
});

fullpage.js: disable page scroll when scrolled with the mouse pointer inside a container

What's happening: Scrolling works no matter which position i have the mouse while i scroll.
What i want to achieve: When the user scrolls with the mouse pointer positioned inside a particular container, I would like to disable the plugin from changing pages. When the user scrolls with the mouse pointer outside that same container, the normal functionality of the plugin should be restored; i.e. the pages should be scrollable again.
What have i tried: I listened for the scroll event on the document and found out whether the mouse is inside the container while executing the scroll and store the possibilities as a boolean.
$(document).bind("mousewheel", function(event) {
// preventScroll = true;
console.log(event);
if($(event.target).closest(".no-scroll").length) {
preventScroll = true;
}
else {
preventScroll = false;
}
});
Then onLeave i try to find out the value of preventScroll and try to stop event propagation (since in want to stop an actual event) by returning false
setTimeout(function() {
console.log(preventScroll);
if(preventScroll) {
console.log("no-scroll")
return false;
}
}, 10);
I an using setTimeout to capture the desired value of preventScroll although I guess the plugin executes a scroll within that 10 ms and that's why return false doesn't seem to have an effect. I can't seem to figure out how else to proceed to achieve the desired functionality.
Codepen: https://codepen.io/binarytrance/pen/YxBqPj
In this implementation, the container i want to disable scroll is in the second page/section. Please be aware of the values spit out in the console.
Use the fullpage.js option normalScrollElements. Check the fullpage.js docs for more info:
normalScrollElements: (default null) If you want to avoid the auto scroll when scrolling over some elements, this is the option you need to use. (useful for maps, scrolling divs etc.) It requires a string with the jQuery selectors for those elements. (For example: normalScrollElements: '#element1, .element2'). This option should not be applied to any section/slide element itself.

Determining user scrolling vs click animate function

I have a fixed navbar that hides when a user scroll down; and appears when they scroll up. This works fine.
It is a single page scroller site.
The problem occurs when a user clicks a nav item, and they are subsequently scrolled down the page, the fixed nav disappears. I would like this to stay put when the nav item is clicked, until the user scrolls down themselves with the mouse wheel or scrollbar.
My approach this far has been to set a variable to determine if it is programmatic scrolling or not. I use that variable to determine if the nav should hide or not as a conditional statement.
window.programScrolling = false;
The nav item click function is as below, which sets the var to true.
$('a[href^="#"]:not([href="#"])').on('click',function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var target = this.hash;
var $target = $(target);
$('html, body').stop().animate({
'scrollTop': $target.offset().top
}, 500, 'easeInOutCubic', function () {
window.programScrolling = true;
});
});
This code does indeed work. But only once as now the variable is always true.
I need a way to reset that variable back to false when the user does the scrolling.
I have tried setting on the scroll event
$(window).scroll(function(e) {
window.programScrolling = false;
});
But this seems to take precedence over the click event and hence that variable is now always false.
Any suggestions? Or alternative approaches?
If by $(window).scroll is taking precedence you mean it is called second, you can use this code:
$(window).scroll(function() {
if (programScrolling)
window.programScrolling = false;
else{
//User initiated scroll!
}
});

What is the correct logic of hiding a DIV the instant its height is below a certain number?

I have a div filled with images.
I have a button that removes images one by one from the div, thus decreasing its height every time.
When the div's height is below 75px in height (implying that it no longer holds any images), I have this jQuery code that is meant to hide the div as soon as the low height is detected:
if ($('#ImageDiv').height() < 75) {
$('#ImageDiv').hide();
}
This code is programmed to activate every time the user clicks that Remove Image button.
Instead, here is what is actually happening: The user clicks the button, thus removing the image, but the div does NOT immediately hide the div despite the height being below 75. Instead, it requires a second click of the button to realize the height is low enough to hide the div.
What is wrong with my logic and how can this problem be fixed?
Without any code that's my better... try to print on console or alert $('#ImageDiv').height() at the end of your function to see what it really sizes.
Are you using an animation to remove the images? If yes, maybe you could check your height value at the complete callback from the animation. Maybe are you evaluating the $('#ImageDiv').height() before the animation has completed?
Hope this helps.
EDITED AFTER COMMENT
With .slideUp() function you can pass a function as second argument (callback). There you can check or do whatever you want:
$('#ImageDiv').slideUp('fast', function() {
// After slideUp is completed, run this...
});
More info here: http://api.jquery.com/slideup/
If you use .remove() function you could check the height with:
$.when($('#your_Removed_DIV_ID').remove()).then(
console.log(
'Height: ' + $('#ImageDiv').height()
)
);
The case might be that you are removing the image from the div after the height check condition. Make sure to do that earlier.
Alternatively, you can simply use if( $('#ImageDiv').has('img').length ) for the presence of img tag inside the div. This would for images less that 75 as well.
This might help you:
$('#remove').on('click', function(){
$('#ImageDiv > img').last().remove(); //remove the last Image
if ($('#ImageDiv > img').length === 0) { //check if there is an image left
$('#ImageDiv').hide();
}
});
Normally I would recommend to cache reused jQuery-Objects, but in this case this would cause an error because an old state is checked.
Side-Note: If this button is within a form-element or a styled anchor-tag you might need to use event.preventDefault() at the beginning of your function.
Demo
You would need to prevent the default activity of button and perform the desired action. http://jsfiddle.net/bcnsk83p/1/
Example:
$("#btn").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$('#ImageDiv img:last-child').remove();
if ($('#ImageDiv').height() < 75) {
$('#ImageDiv').hide();
$('p').text("#ImageDiv is now hidden!");
}
});

Determining when a page anchor (#) visit has occurred with jQuery

I am currently intercepting when a user clicks a particular link with jQuery and scrolling them to an anchor on the page. Once the page has scrolled to the anchor, I then want to show a div and focus on an element in that div. The following code does this but with a problem...
// Intercept the click on the link which scrolls to the signup form
$('#section-footer-buttons a').click(function(){
// Scroll to the welcome section
location.href = '#welcome';
// Show the hidden signup form if it's not already visible
$('#signup-form').slideDown(350, function(){
// Focus on the first element on the form now the animation is complete
$('#signup-form :input:enabled:visible:first').focus();
});
// We've handled this click so return false
return false;
});
The problem is that by the time the page has scrolled up to the anchor where the signup form is, the hidden div is already visible without the nice slideDown animation. Is there a way to only begin the slideDown animation once the page has stopped scrolling? Essentially, I need a callback from when location.href has completed.
You should come at this a different way.
$('#section-footer-buttons a').click(function(){
var welcome = '#welcome',
$offset = $('[href="'+welcome+'"]').offset().top;
$('html,body').animate({
scrollTop:$offset,350
},function(){
location.href = welcome;
$('#signup-form').slideDown(350, function(){
$(this).find('input').filter(':enabled:visible').first().focus();
});
});
return false;
});
Making use of the .animate() callback function like this should hopefully give you what you're looking for.

jQuery - auto input focus when scroll hit certain element

I am using jQuery plugin called Waypoints
to work with scroll action.
What I want to achieve is setting focus on the first input element of a section that is in the viewport and move the focus to the input of next respective sections when scrolled down. And, when scroll back to the first section up above, it should set the focus back to the input of the first section.
The following is what I have on my actual working setup that is using the aforementioned plugin.
Unfortunately, I can't really get the plugin up and running in my JS Fiddle.
This code block works in terms of setting focus on page load and changing focus to the targeted input when scrolled down
but scrolling back to the top section does not set the focus back.
(function($) {
var firstInput = $('section').find('input[type=text]').filter(':visible:first');
if (firstInput != null) {
firstInput.focus();
}
$('section').waypoint(function () {
var getFocus = $(this).find('input[type=text]').filter(':visible:first');
getFocus.focus();
});
$('section').waypoint(function () {
var getFocus = $(this).find('input[type=text]').filter(':visible:first');
getFocus.focus();
}, {
offset: function () {
return -$(this).height();
}
});
});
Here is my JS Fiddle
that doesn't have the plugin part.
As long as somebody can explain how they should be done in normal jQuery
if not familiar with this plugin.
jQuery Waypoints is very straightforward to use. I haven't tried with your code but I got it done with this:
$('input:first').focus();
$('section').waypoint(function() {
$(this).find('input:first').focus();
});
Please see this fiddle.
However, using mousewheel on scrolling down, the scroll sometimes jumps back at the mid part. It might be how the browser reacts on input focus. I haven't gone through the whole documentation but there is no example for input focus.
If you're only looking to do just this simple task I suggest you drop the plugin. I can show you how to get this done with jQuery.
You can handle the scrolling with jQuery's scroll() function. You need to get the scrollTop() on scrolling event then compare it with the <input>'s top offset().
$(window).scroll(function(){
var st = $(this).scrollTop();
$('input[type=text]').each(function(){
var offset = $(this).offset();
if(st >= offset.top -20 && st < offset.top + $(this).height()){
$(this).focus();
}
});
});
Here is the fiddle.
