I am creating a web page that contains lots of transitions and animations. I don't like it when things zap from one place to another, I like it to slide over instead. Which is why I have a problem with responsive web apps. Yes, the elements of the page will reposition themselves correctly when you resize the window, but they don't animate, instead they go from point A to point B in, quite literally, no time.
Is there any way I can solve this problem? I am open to any CSS or JS solutions. For an example, go here, make your browser window smaller, and click on the hamburger menu icon in the top left. The buttons in the main section of the page reposition themselves but again, no animation. It makes me sad.

I know this question sounds confusing, so here's a better explanation:
I'm using a mobile. Say there's a scrollable element somewhere in the body. When I scroll the element and it reaches the bottom, I want instead of getting stuck for keep scrolling the element, it scrolls the page instead. That's also true if I reach the top of the element, it scrolls up the page, not getting stuck.
I tested it on two different mobile phones with the latest version of Chrome. The First one does exactly that. Weirdly enough, the second one only works when it gets to the top but not to the bottom. Is there any way to make it always work irrespective of the environment (mobile phone or browser) we are using?
Edit: What I'm trying to achieve with this
Desktop:
I want a way so that the buttons placed at the bottom of the content are not so distanced from the user's view. If we remove the scrollbar, then the users have to scroll all the way to the end of the content to be able to click the buttons.
The problem with this method is that, on mobile, in some browsers, it blocks the user from scrolling the page, even after reaching the end of the element. So they have to touch the edges of the screen to be able to scroll the page instead of the element.
What I want is, for users having difficulty touching the edges, they can still scroll the element. And when it reaches the bottom of the element, it scrolls the page.
I know this is weird. I know some of the better tricks like using the Read More-Read Less button, but it requires JavaScript I guess? I'm in a situation that's really hard to use JavaScript at the moment (shortly because of how bad the code is organized), and looking for a way if there's a simple trick using pure CSS. Any help or idea is appreciated!
So I am trying to achieve a responsive website.
Here is my navigation so far (Window is maximized):
What I am trying to achieve is that when the window is resized, a new tab will appear called menu. This will be a button which once clicked will show all the existing links I have.
I have two lists in two separate div's, ideally, when the window is resized, I would want the content from both lists to be view able in this new menu.
This is what it looks like when Chrome is resized to its lowest width:
As you can see, those links in the image (Stretches, posture etc), those should not be visible. They should dynamically show up once menu is clicked, which is another issue, clicking menu does nothing.
Everything I have can be found in this fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/hudnybux/
This is quite a common use-case as im sure you can imagine. Googling it took me 5 seconds, this was the first one that popped up. It seems simple and straight forward to follow.
As a general rule at stack overflow, try looking around a bit before you ask a question...people will generally respond better to your answers. :)
I'm trying to find the best technique for showing a navigation/menu for a mobile site I'm working on. So far all my solutions have flaws, and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. (You may have to reduce browser window size to make the examples work as intended)
First off, take a look at this "basic" example: http://audunaas.no/menu/problem.html
You'll notice the content is still scrollable while the navigation is open. This is confusing and annoying.
My first attempt at a fix was to set the body to overflow:hidden and position:fixed whenever the navigation is open. Example here: (Had to remove link because maximum 2 links in post)
This, however, causes the body to snap back to the top and "forget" its scroll position. This means you are taken back to the top of the page whenever you open the navigation. Not good.
Lastly, my best solution so far is one where i put all the page content inside a #scroll-area-div with a fixed position taking up most of the screen, and body scroll set to hidden. Example here: http://audunaas.no/menu/
This solves most of the problems in the page itself, but breaks the "memory" of the back button. This means whenever you click back in your browser you are taken to the top of the page instead of back to where you were before you decided to click a link. (Mobile safari seems to be the only browser that remembers scroll position on div's aswell as body)
I can't really think of any more solutions to this, except for maybe some sort of javascript. Does anyone have some experience with similar cases, or any ideas on how to accomplish this?
The solution must:
Prevent scrolling on page content when navigation is open
Preserve scroll position on page content when navigation is open
Remember scroll position on previous page when back-button is used
I'm building a one-page site with the content area as large content boxes stacked down the page.
http://salondoreen.com/lowercasemenu.html
I'm looking for ideas on a way to use javascript to jump to each content box. With a one-page site like this, it takes a lot of scrolling to get to the bottom.
My idea is to somehow make this easier. If you are in one box, and you scroll down just a single click, I want the next box to scroll all the way up the page in one jump. That way the content stays easy and readable, and a box will never be half-on half-off the page. Theoretically you could scroll to the bottom of the page in less than ten clicks.
Does that make sense? I'm thinking of something similar to the home screen on android phones. It jumps horizontally between screens, no matter how little you swipe. There will only be one box on the page at time.
Disclaimer: I am a noob web developer, any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!
I would point you toward binding on the scroll event with jquery .scroll(), and using either IDs via http://myurl.com/derp#scrollhere style of links or use the jquery.ScrollTo plugin
In General:
I need my nav to behave like a mobile app (swipe effect), but WITHOUT accessing it via a mobile product. (So JQuery Mobile and such isn't applicable here... at least I don't think.)
Specifics:
My nav (example attached below) is a set of horizontally arranged icons. I would like to be able to scroll horizontally, but instead of simply scrolling the icons over, I'd like them to slide in increments (much like how an iPhone's pages slide into discrete positions with swipes across the screen.) This means regardless of how much the user scrolls, only the same amount of slide is performed.

My Problem:
So I currently have this (crappy/buggy) version working, but it's based on JQuery's .mousemove() which means as I cause the menu to move, the cursor is still also moving and no longer over the icon I wish to click. If I based it on .scroll(), then the containing div would have to be scrollable (which would show the scrollbars).
So: Is there...
a) an example of this already done somewhere? or
b) a way to make a div scrollable but without showing the scrollbars
This site is being used in a specific way for a specific purpose, so please don't reply just to tell me that hidden scrollbars on a scrollable div is bad juju/annoying for the users.
I found something called "Web In Touch". Could this help?
Many MANY thanks in advance.

Have you tried content flow? It can do horizontal scrolling for you on button presses (and you can map this to something else). I understand this isn't what you want exactly, but it might work, since you want to horizontally flow/scroll image icons.
