stickyfloat not working on absolute positioned element - javascript

Here's the deal. I have a small div who is position: absolute;. I'm using stickyfloat plugin to make it scroll ONLY within the <section class="software-content"></section>, like the demo they show on the github page. However this absolutely positioned div, where the menu is, instead of scrolling with the browser, it instead scrolls ALL the way to the top. I have no idea why it is having this behaviour. Here's a fiddle demonstrating it:
http://jsfiddle.net/yisera/19amn27z/1/
Note: Summary the above fiddle for some reason, does not emulate the behaviour. The div.store-menu element should scroll within the section.softwate-content element and stop as the user scrolls down into the div.prefooter element.
Can anyone figure out what the problem is?

Try that way:
$(document).ready(function(){
t = function(){$('.scroll-store-menu').stickyfloat({duration: 400, lockBottom: true});}
setTimeout(t, 50);
});

Javascript Slide-In Onload

So I'm trying to have a div slide in on pageload. It has an id of "#crazyslide" and is absolutely positioned to the right -800px in the css.
So I used this code in the head:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#crazyslide").animate( { right: '0px' }, 2000 );
});
</script>
Shouldn't this work?
No, you can't hide it off the edge of the screen. Devices like mobiles will let people scroll past the edge and it will look bad.
I recommend using this example of hiding and showing it with javascript.
http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/tryit.asp?filename=tryjquery_hide_show
Yes it should. I just tested with your exact code, and it worked fine. There are ways to prevent a parent element from showing scroll bars for offscreen content.
Check to be sure your div is properly named: (console.log($("#crazyslide"));
Be sure a parent element's css isn't preventing the div from being
shown at all, such as a strange body width or something.
Be sure the div has content, and a set width.
*This turned out to be a load order issue where jquery was not yet defined when the animation code was called.

Adding animate in and animate out classes with one menu button

I was wondering, for all you javascript and jquery guru's what would be my best way to tackle this problem. What I have is a navigation that is hidden via CSS to the bottom of the screen. I've managed to have it working as a toggle fine - which you can see here http://jsfiddle.net/olichalmers/Lby7vfdf/.
var body = $("body"); $("#menuBtn").click(function() {
body.toggleClass("showMenu");});
This obviously means that the menu slides up and down.
What my problem is is that I want to animate the menu up on the initial click, and then when you click the button again to close it I want the navigation window to slide up. Then when you click it again to open it, it is appearing from the bottom again. I've been trying to get my head around how this would work and what I think is that it would be two classes (one for hide menu, and one for show menu) which would be added and removed from the body. I have a jsfiddle here http://jsfiddle.net/olichalmers/twqd2yj0/
var body = $("body"); $("#menuBtn").click(function() {
if (body.hasClass("hideMenu")) {
body.removeClass("hideMenu").addClass("showMenu");
}
else if (body.hasClass("showMenu")) {
body.removeClass("showMenu").addClass("hideMenu");
}});
This is probably shocking in it's attempt to come to a solution to this problem. I'm using jquery but maybe it is a javascript solution using an event listener that is needed here? My jquery and javascript knowledge is patchy at best as i'm still in the midst of learning so please go easy if I appear very dumb!
Hope i've been clear enough. Thanks.
May I suggest a different approach?
Create your bottom menu in a separate DIV, located at very top of your HTML (directly under BODY tag). Make that DIV position: fixed -- that takes it out of the "flow" and positions it relative ot the viewport (the screen), not to any other divs or to the web page itself. Now, you can move it up/down based on some trigger.
Here is a code example:
jsFiddle Demo
HTML:
<div id="botttrig"></div>
<div id="bottmenu">The menu is here</div>
<div id="wrap">
<div id="content">
<p>Content goes here</p>
<p>Hover over small box at bottom left</p>
</div>
</div>
jQuery:
$('#botttrig').hover(
function(){
$(this).fadeOut();
$('#bottmenu').animate({
'bottom': '0px'
},500);
},
function(){
//do nothing on hover out
}
);
$('#bottmenu').hover(
function(){
//do nothing on hover in
},
function(){
$('#bottmenu').animate({
'bottom': '-80px'
},500);
$('#botttrig').fadeIn();
}
);
See this jsFiddle for another example. I removed the trigger box, and left the top 10px of the menu visible at screen bottom. Upon hover, slide the menu up. You may wish to increase the z-index on the #bottmenu div to always display it above the other DIVs on the page, so that it is always visible.

I've used slideToggle() and added display:none; to #navHold

Fixed div once page is scrolled is flickering

I am trying to have an advertisement block/div that will be switched to a fixed position once you scroll down the page.
Here is a demo of what I am trying to do and the code I am using to do it with...
http://jsfiddle.net/jasondavis/6vpA7/3/embedded/result/
In the demo it works perfectly how I am wanting it to be, however when I implement it on my live site, http://goo.gl/zuaZx it works but when you scroll down the div flickers in and out of view on each scroll or down key press. On my site to see the problem live it is the block on the right sidebar that says "Recommended Books"
Here is the code I am using...
$(document).ready( function() {
$(window).scroll( function() {
if ($(window).scrollTop() > $('#social-container').offset().top)
$('#social').addClass('floating');
else
$('#social').removeClass('floating');
} );
} );​
css
#social.floating {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
}​
My demo jsfiddle where it works correctly
http://jsfiddle.net/jasondavis/6vpA7/3/
The only thing different on my live site is the div/id name is different. As you can see it is somewhat working on my live site except the flickering in and out of view as you scroll down the page.
Anyone have any ideas why this would happen on my live site and not on my jsfiddle demo?
You'll notice that in the example code, and your jsFiddle, your inner div (#social, #text-2 etc) have a wrapper/container div which is where the scrollTop() test is performed. On your live code, you've ommited this wrapper, and you are both checking the scrollTop() AND setting the floating class on the same element (#text-2). So every time you scroll, it swaps between the classes, because the scrollTop() conditional keeps checking the same element. You need to wrap #text-2 in another div and perform the conditional on that, just like in your examples.
Also, #text-2 is an li element yet has no parent ul. You should either give it a parent ul or change it to a div, otherwise it's invalid HTML.

HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT : How to move an element and not show scrollbars

i'm trying to slide a div element from outside the page to within the page. However as soon as the element is shown outside the page, horizontal scrollbars appear!
How can I achieve this without the scrollbars appearing?
Any help appreciated very muchly, thanks :)
Briefly, using overflow-x:
function moveStuff() {
$('body').css('overflow-x', 'hidden');
$('#iteminmotion').show().animate(..., function() {
$('body').css('overflow-x', 'auto');
});
}
move the element off the page to the left, moving it off to the right increases the width of the page
You could temporarily turn off side scrolling by applying this css to the body:
body {overflow-x:hidden;}
http://jsfiddle.net/pxfunc/YYUZJ/
Do you really need to construct the element off page, or just make it look like it slides onto the screen? Ive done similar things in the past to emulate a graphic that slides across a page, but instead of starting outside the view area I've created it as far to the side as possible and then animated the slide to the middle. The user experience at that point can be a graphic that slides onto a page from outside the view area.

How to scroll to an element in jQuery?

I have done the following code in JavaScript to put focus on the particular element (branch1 is a element),
document.location.href="#branch1";
But as I am also using jQuery in my web app, so I want to do the above code in jQuery. I have tried but don't know why its not working,
$("#branch1").focus();
The above jquery (focus()) code is not working for div, whereas If i am trying the same code with textbox, then its working,
Please tell me, how can I put focus on a div elemnt using jQuery?
Thanks!
For my problem this code worked, I had to navigate to an anchor tag on page load :
$(window).scrollTop($('a#captchaAnchor').position().top);
For that matter you can use this on any element, not just an anchor tag.
Like #user293153 I only just discovered this question and it didn't seem to be answered correctly.
His answer was best. But you can also animate to the element as well.
$('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: $("#some_element").offset().top }, 500);
You can extend jQuery functionalities like this:
jQuery.fn.extend({
scrollToMe: function () {
var x = jQuery(this).offset().top - 100;
jQuery('html,body').animate({scrollTop: x}, 500);
}});
and then:
$('...').scrollToMe();
easy ;-)
Check jQuery.ScrollTo, I think that's the behavior that you want, check the demo.
Check out jquery-scrollintoview.
ScrollTo is fine, but oftentimes you just want to make sure a UI element is visible, not necessarily at the top. ScrollTo doesn't help you with this. From scrollintoview's README:
How does this plugin solve the user experience issue
This plugin scrolls a particular element into view similar to browser
built-in functionality (DOM's scrollIntoView() function), but works
differently (and arguably more user friendly):
it only scrolls to element when element is actually out of view; if element is in view (anywhere in visible document area), no scrolling
will be performed;
it scrolls using animation effects; when scrolling is performed users know exactly they're not redirected anywhere, but actually see
that they're simply moved somewhere else within the same page (as well
as in which direction they moved);
there's always the smallest amount of scrolling being applied; when element is above the visible document area it will be scrolled to the
top of visible area; when element is below the visible are it will be
scrolled to the bottom of visible area; this is the most consistent
way of scrolling - when scrolling would always be to top it sometimes
couldn't scroll an element to top when it was close to the bottom of
scrollable container (thus scrolling would be unpredictable);
when element's size exceeds the size of visible document area its top-left corner is the one that will be scrolled to;
Use
$(window).scrollTop()
It'll scroll the window to the item.
var scrollPos = $("#branch1").offset().top;
$(window).scrollTop(scrollPos);
If you're simply trying to scroll to the specified element, you can use the scrollIntoView method of the Element.
Here's an example :
$target.get(0).scrollIntoView();
I think you might be looking for an "anchor" given the example you have.
This link will jump to the anchor named jump
<a name="jump">This is where the link will jump to</a>
The focus jQuery method does something different from what you're trying to achieve.
For the focus() function to work on the element the div needs to have a tabindex attribute. This is probably not done by default on this type of element as it is not an input field. You can add a tabindex for example at -1 to prevent users who use tab to focus on it. If you use a positive tabindex users will be able to use tab to focus on the div element.
Here an example: http://jsfiddle.net/klodder/gFPQL/
However tabindex is not supported in Safari.
maybe you want to try this simple one
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".to-branch1").click(function() {
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#branch1").offset().top
}, 1500);
});
});
