Background scrolling with content matching top and bottom? - javascript

I have a page with a simple div. If the div is at the top of the page, the background image (a very long vertical wallpaper) should also only be displaying the top section. If we scroll all the way down, then at the last area way at the bottom, the bottom of the background will show. The effect is that it's like a parallax where the scrolling of the content and background image occur in tandem and are scaled to each other.
How would I do this?
Update: My attempt is something like this:
function setupMainContent(){
$("#programming").delay(1000).fadeIn(1000, function(){
$(window).scroll(function(){
var current = $(window).scrollTop();
var bottom = $(document).height() - $(window).height();
var scale = 100*(current/bottom);
$('body').css({
'background-position':scale+'%'
});
});
}
I don't really know how to work with variables within quotes however.
Update: I got it to work using this:
function setupMainContent(){
$("#programming").delay(1000).fadeIn(1000, function(){
$(window).scroll(function(){
var current = $(window).scrollTop();
var bottom = $(document).height() - $(window).height();
var scale = 100*(current/bottom) + "%";
document.body.style.backgroundPosition = "center " + scale;
});
});
}
But there seems to be very bad impact on performance. Is there any way to make it more responsive and faster?

CSS:
background-attachment: fixed;
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background-attachment

This worked for me:
function setupMainContent(){
$("#programming").delay(1000).fadeIn(1000, function(){
$(window).scroll(function(){
var current = $(window).scrollTop();
var bottom = $(document).height() - $(window).height();
var scale = 100*(current/bottom) + "%";
document.body.style.backgroundPosition = "center " + scale;
});
*/
});
}

Scroll of window doesn't work

I have some div and I want that, when I click on one of them, it automatic scroll to the top of the current window.
So, I calculated the current position (relative to the window), I calculated the height of the window, and I animated scroll to the position given by the difference between the previous numbers. But it doesn't scroll. Why?
Full code: http://jsfiddle.net/8dhhbk9r/
JS code:
$('.post').each(function() {
var post = $(this);
post.text( post.position().top - $(window).scrollTop() );
post.click(function() {
var where = post.position().top - $(window).scrollTop();
var h = $(window).height();
var scrollTo = h - where;
post.animate({
scrollTop: scrollTo
}, 800);
});
});
$(".post").on("click", function(){
$("body, html").animate({'scrollTop': $(this).offset().top}, 1000 );
});//click

Alternate direction scrolling with content underneath

I have 2 full height divs. When you scroll down the page the one div scrolls up and the other scrolls in an opposite direction. This works great.
I'm trying to keep this effect but put normal full width content underneath it whilst trying to maintain natural scrolling. So I'd like to keep the alternate scrolling effect but when I get to the bottom of the last div that uses this effect I would like to continue scrolling normally to see normal content underneath it.
Here's my jsFiddle, currently its floating over the effect I refer to: http://jsfiddle.net/u9apC/116/ and the JS is pasted below for reference:
(function ($) {
var top = 0;
$(document).ready(function () {
var contentHeight = $('.right').height(),
contents = $('.right > .content').length;
top = (0 - (contentHeight * (contents - 1)));
$('.right').css('top', top + 'px');
});
$(window).resize(function () {
var contentHeight = $('.right').height(),
contents = $('.right > .content').length;
top = (0 - (contentHeight * (contents - 1)));
$('.right').css('top', (top + $(window).scrollTop()) + 'px');
});
$(window).scroll(function () {
$('.right').css('top', (top + $(window).scrollTop()) + 'px');
});
})(jQuery);
EDIT
Here's a illustration of what I want:
I hope this is what you're after - it's a little hard to visualise from the description.
There are a couple of tricks to get this working:
Reverse the scroll direction when the right col top goes positive
Ensure the .row div has a top margin sufficient to push it down to the bottom of the left col.
(function ($) {
var top = 0;
var contentHeight = 0;
$(document).ready(function () {
calcContentHeight();
});
$(window).resize(function () {
calcContentHeight();
});
$(window).scroll(function () {
setRightTop();
});
function calcContentHeight() {
var contents = $('.right > .content').length - 1;
contentHeight = $('.right').height() * contents;
top = 0 - contentHeight;
setRightTop();
}
function setRightTop() {
var rightTop = top + $(window).scrollTop();
//1. don't allow right col top to go positive
if(rightTop > 0) rightTop = 0 - rightTop;
$('.right').css('top', rightTop + 'px');
//2. Ensure .row has sufficient top margin
$('.row').css('margin-top', contentHeight + 'px');
}
})(jQuery);
See updated JSFiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/u9apC/126/
I've also refactored your code a little to reduce duplication.
You just need to make height of the div.body equal to total height of elements within it. Either by js or css.

Basic Parallax - Background jerking up

I have a simple code for moving the background images, but the image is jerking up once the section is in view. the idea is for the background-pos to move only when the section is in view.
Any ideas?
$window = $(window);
$('.portfolioSection').each(function(){
var $bgobj = $(this); // assigning the object
var speed = 8;
$(window).scroll(function() {
if($(window).scrollTop() + 150 >= $bgobj.offset().top){
// Scroll the background at var speed
// the yPos is a negative value because we're scrolling it UP!
var yPos = -($window.scrollTop() / speed);
// Put together our final background position
var coords = '0 '+ yPos + 'px'
// Move the background
$bgobj.css({ backgroundPosition: coords });
}
}); // window scroll Ends
});
Solved it- I didn't account for the section position - Line 9
var yPos = -(($window.scrollTop()-$bgobj.offset().top) / speed);

How to determine if you have scrolled to the bottom of an element?

How will you determine if you have reached the bottom of an element? For instance you have a div with a height of 2000px, then the viewport is only 600px tall. With these in place, how will you know how much scroll value you need to know if it's already the bottom of the 2000px div?
You can use something like this:
var $element = $('div');
$(window).scroll(function() {
var scroll = $(window).scrollTop() + $(window).height();
var offset = $element.offset().top + $element.height();
if (scroll > offset) {
$element.css('background', 'blue');
} else {
$element.css('background', 'red');
}
});

Jquery follow scroll

I have a sort of sidebar on my website, which has to scroll down together with the user so that it is always in the view.
The code I'm using now is actually working fine however there is one problem. On smaller screens the sidebar scrolls before your at the sidebar thus making it impossible to see it all even if you scroll.
So what I want is the sidebar to scroll with the bottom instead of it being pushed down with the top so that when you reach the end of the sidebar it starts to scroll.
This is the code that I'm currently using.
var documentHeight = 0;
var topPadding = 10;
$(function() {
var offset = $("#mainright").offset();
documentHeight = $(document).height();
$(window).scroll(function() {
var sideBarHeight = $("#mainright").height();
if ($(window).scrollTop() > offset.top) {
var newPosition = ($(window).scrollTop() - offset.top) + topPadding;
var maxPosition = documentHeight - (sideBarHeight);
if (newPosition > maxPosition) {
newPosition = maxPosition;
}
$("#mainright").stop().animate({
marginTop: newPosition
});
} else {
$("#mainright").stop().animate({
marginTop: 0
});
};
});
});
I guess the "best practice" for accomplishing a task like this is to use dynamically changing css position from absolute to fixed and vice versa. A basic example could look like:
$(function(){
var $box = $('.box'),
offset = $box.offset(),
doc_h = $(document).height();
$(window).scroll(function(){
if($(window).scrollTop() > offset.top) {
if(!$box.hasClass('fix'))
$box.toggleClass('normal fix');
}
else{
if(!$box.hasClass('normal'))
$box.toggleClass('normal fix');
}
});
});​
Example in action: http://www.jsfiddle.net/YjC6y/14/
$(function() {
var top = 50;
$(window).scroll(function() {
$('#box').stop().animate({ top: $(window).scrollTop() + top}, 1000);
});
});
Try the example : http://jsbin.com/omiyi3
I think you can instead make the sidebar responsive by throwing your function into one of these:
if (responsive_viewport >= 768) {}
This makes it so that the function will only load if the viewport is bigger than or equal to 768px.
