HTML/CSS/JS Fixed position div is not fixed - javascript

Basically, I'm coding a site and I want to implement a JQuery progress bar, I can get it to appear in my site just perfectly, however if I start scrolling with the position:fixed; the position jumps to hover 1/7th of the way down my page, and therefore after 7 scroll clicks down, it has left the page by the bottom, when I apply the same CSS to an image that have used on this object, the image behaves properly.
Also if I scroll back up to the top, the progress bar will never quite reach where it originally started.
Here is a jsfiddle.
HTML
<div id="progressbar"></div>
CSS
#progressbar {
position: fixed;
top:0;
left:0;
z-index:999;
width:100%;
height:20px;
}
There is a fiddle of my code, however the jQuery script doesn't seem to appear and I haven't used fiddle enough to be able to get it to display properly, so if it is a basic thing I've missed, that would be awesome if it could be pointed out too.

The reason your progressbar doesn't come back to the same position is this:
if (scroll <= 28) {
progressbar.style.top = "30px";
}
You are telling it that once you scroll, if the distance from the top is less than 28px it should go to 30px from the top while it starts at 0. Even if you start by scrolling 1px down it'll jump to 30px.

Animate div from middle of div to bottom right of screen into a fixed position

What I am trying to figure out is how to animate a div that will start out in the middle of a div that is in the middle of a page. The div originally should not have a position: absolute. Unless it is not possible, I would like it not to start with that because it seems very tough to have any data below it. It's not going to be that big of a box. I am guessing anywhere between the height of 100px and 600px, with a width between 400px and 800px.
I originally found this JsFiddle Example that does a great job and almost exactly what I need. But the div starts with an absolute position and it is already located at the bottom right of the page to be animated.
Once the div is at the bottom right of the page, it needs to be fixed there so that I can scroll up and down the page without it moving. At this point I am not worried about being able to push it back up to the spot in which it came.
A couple things I tried: Lining it up in the position I desired, and then on the click of a button, add a class with the attribute position: absolute and calling the animate function like this:
chatWindow.stop().animate({
bottom: 0
, right: 0
}, 2000);
But my guess is that it originally needs to the the position set as in top: 0; left: 0 and that's why it won't work.
I already have it working without any animation and would love to be able to figure out how to animate this thing. Without animation, it's as simple as toggling a class with it's normal positions attributes with one that has a position: fixed; bottom: 0; right: 0.
Here is a Codepen Example that I created to show really what I need other than right animation part not being there. Any help would be awesome as I've been toying with this for quite some time now.
If you want an animation from left to right, you will have to play with left and top values. But the negative point is that will cause a weird animation because you want to keep a relative position of the box in the beginning.
So when you will do the animation, it will start from the very top left on the window, which is not good.
Like this
To avoid that, you will have to use absolute position in the beginning state. You said in your question you doesn't want it but I think it is required to get the wanted visual effect.
See here the live example with good effect
However, to keep a pretty nice animation, but I know it is not what you want, you can play with right and bottom values. It will make the box appears from the right and bottom corners of the window.
Like this
One possibility, still using absolute positioning, based on what's going on in your codepen example, would be to fake the current positioning by adding the following CSS:
.container {
padding-top: 250px;
}
.center-window {
position: absolute;
right: 50%;
margin-right: -200px; /* i.e. half of its width */
bottom: 100%;
margin-bottom: -250px; /* i.e. its height */
}
Then you could animate the right, bottom, and margin properties accordingly. See https://codepen.io/anon/pen/RaOJYY (though it doesn't currently do anything with the padding). Of course, if your not sure of the dimensions of .center-window, perhaps this solution won't quite work.

Can't get fixed div to stop above the footer, what am I missing?

I have a side bar div that is fixed until a certain scroll/page height and then it becomes position:absolute.
My problem is that, when it loads in, it's at the right position and height, until I scroll and then it moves (partly due to the jQuery function). When it moves however, it makes it so it doesn't stop at the footer, but instead continues past it.
I am building this on a COS so I can't exactly recreate the problem in JSFiddle, but I can link you to the page.
CSS
/*fixed/absolute div*/
.widget-type-post_listing{
right:0;
width:50px;
position:absolute;
display;block;
background:yellow;
height:50px;
}
jQuery
$(function(){
var container = $('.widget-type-post_listing');
var minTop = $('.header-container-wrapper').outerHeight();
var maxTop = $('.footer-container-wrapper').offset().top - container.outerHeight();
$(document).scroll(function() {
container.css('top', Math.min( Math.max(minTop, $(document).scrollTop()), maxTop ));
});
});
Here is the JS Fiddle showing a working example: JSFiddle. You can see that the yellow box (fixed/abso.div) will stick on page until scrolling to footer.
As I said above, to see the exact problem, visit the working page: Working Page
Thanks for the help everyone!
You can add a div in between footer and header surrounding the yellow div 100% width position relative and then fix the max-height of that div and set it's display to inline-flex or inline-block. I think that should so the job.
Cover-div{
width: 100%;
display: inline-flex;
position: relative;
}

Hiding an element with hide() causes a page "jump"

I'm trying to create an effect where I display a big logo on page load. When the user scrolls pass the logo and navigation, I want to display a fixed nav bar with a smaller logo. I then want to hide the big logo so that when the user scrolls to the top they still see the fixed nav bar (i.e. the big logo and original navigation stay hidden).
However, when I remove a big block element with the .hide() property it causes the page to "jump" as the display:none property gets set. This reduces the usability of the page, as the location jumps the size of the element that was removed, potentially confusing users.
Is there a way I can get the effect I want, while still providing a smooth experience to the user? I've been thinking of potential options, but have been drawing blanks. Hoping you guys can inspire me :)
A simple JS fiddle can be seen here: http://jsfiddle.net/darudude/vA5WG/ (Note: You'll have to increase the result section to 720+px to get it to work properly - I'm still working on the responsive part)
The code in question:
function UpdateTableHeaders() {
var menu = $(".main_nav_menu"),
offset_top = menu.offset().top;
var scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();
if (scrollTop > (offset_top + menu.height()))
{
$(".clone").addClass("floating_header");
$(".big_logo").hide();
}
}
$(window).scroll(function(){
UpdateTableHeaders();
});
You can try this ,
Add a new style
<style>
.hide {
position: absolute !important;
top: -9999px !important;
left: -9999px !important;
}
</style>
And change your JS to
$(".big_logo").addClass('hide');
Instead of
$(".big_logo").hide();
Use visibility:hidden then
$(".big_logo").css('visibility','hidden');
Maybe it is because a different browser - margin/padding thing. Have you tried to add this to the body element (or to the container element if it inherits some margins/paddings)
body{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width:100%;
}

How to move div upward while scrolling downward

I am creating a small html file for myself just to try some new things. so far, I have a header, a background, and a center area for content. it is in the center and the position is set as fixed.
I want to make it so when someone scrolls down, the center area will move up. So there wont be large white-space at the top. Also, when they scroll up, so the center is near the top, it wont go over the header.
I"m sure this can be done with JavaScript. But, I'm not too sure how.
I'm sorry if this is unclear.
I recommend using jquery to accomplish this.
You can bind an event listener to the scroll event, the handler is passed an event object with all the information you need to achieve your desired result (scrolltop, pageX, pageY, etc....)
Once you have captured the scroll event, you can tell where the user scrolled to (how far down), and position your div accordingly.
http://api.jquery.com/scroll/
This could be achieved using javascript or Jquery (Jquery being the easiest of the two).
1.) Use arbitrary pixels to define when the div should move.
function scrolling() {
if ($(body).scrollTop() > 120px)
{
....perform div transition...
}
}
OR
2.) Use the position of the target div to define when the div should move.
function scrolling() {
if ($(body).scrollTop() > $("#TargetDiv").offset().top;)
{
....perform div transition...
}
}
If you use the second solution, be sure that you call Jquery and this script after the DOM is loaded i.e. after </body>. Otherwise it won't be able to define the #TargetDiv.
This can be done without use of jquery or javascript, if you are looking to do what I think you are.
http://jsfiddle.net/wN8c8/
by setting your content to a fixed size and setting the content to overflow:auto;
likewise, you could also set your page background-attachment to fixed, and create the illusion that the text is 'appearing' without the page moving. You can certainly go more in-depth with it using scripting, but it really depends on your intention.
z-index will also allow you to build your page in layers, so that you can determine what shows and what is hidden behind other page elements.
body {
background-color:yellow;
}
#header{
position:fixed;
width: 100%;
height:20px;
background-color:red;
z-index:2;
}
#content{
position:fixed;
width:80%;
height:60%;
background-color:#ddd;
overflow:auto;
margin:0px 10%;
z-index:1;
}
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="content">
This is some content.<br/>
This is some content.<br/>
This is some content.<br/>
</div>

how to fix a division using css and js..?

In my webpage a division in the left hand side should be fixed in a particular position.I am using position:fixed;top:150px;left:0px;. So now even we scrolldown the page the division will not change from the current position.
But here i am facing a problem. If am scrolling down the page 150px or more i am getting the white space of 150px at the top of that left hand side division.
So what my requirement is if am scrolling down the page 150px or more then the css of that left hand side division should be changed to position:fixed;top:0px;left:0px; and as well as when i am going to top of the page again the css should change to position:fixed;top:150px;left:0px;
I came to know that this can't be done with only CSS and we have to use JS along with the CSS. But i don't know how to do that.
Please help me...!!
Thanks in advance,
Sreeram
So based of what you said above you want to have an element follow you down the page but change it's top position after you scroll down a little ways.
I've created a jsfiddle that uses js to add a class to an element once the document is scrolled past 150px. It also removes that class if they scroll back above 150px.
http://jsfiddle.net/KQCRC/
.fix {
position:fixed;
top:150px;
left:0px;
width:100px;
height:100px;
background:#fff;
}
.fix.scrolled {
top:0;
}
