I wonder how to achieve this effect on http://www.squarespace.com. What I mean is:
you scroll down and at one point the image of computer monitor stays at fixed position
after that, the images keep changing while you scroll.
How can you control content and change CSS using Javascript? It should be on window scroll event:
window.onscroll = function () {
// but I don't know what to use here
}
At smaller browser width, the above elements become a carousel, but I am not interested in that.
Because of the tags on this post I'm going to assume that this question is regarding the skrollr library
Skrollr is controlled via HTML data attributes. What you're seeing when the monitor scrolls, and then becomes fixed at a given position, is referred to as "pinning". How you define data attributes in Skrollr can be pretty confusing at first, but once that is understood, the library is kind of a dream to work with.
I printed and pinned Petr Tichy's cheat sheet next to my monitor the first few weeks of my first skrollr project.
An example of pinning in Skroller would be accomplished as such:
<div id="example"
data-100-top="position:fixed;"
data-anchor-target="#example">
These words are pinned 100px from the top of the screen
</div>
The purpose of Skrollr is that knowledge of jQuery/JavaScript isn't really required. The css is manipulated by the library, and defied in the data elements. The above example shows changing the position to fixed, but if you wanted the div to expand 100px from the top you could input width/height css parameters in there, or just about any other css you'd like.
If you're looking for a more robust skrolling library, in which jQuery knowledge is more of a requirement, I recommend you take a look at ScrollMagic (my lack of reputation prevents me from linking to scrollmagic).

So essentially what I am looking to do is have a section that has a solid background at some point on my page, and at the top of that a pair of sunglasses that as you begin to scroll, the reflection of the sunglasses changes from a few different images, as well as some text changes below the sunglasses to match each change in the sunglasses. Then once the final image is scrolled through, you reach a new section with different information. I am not entirely sure what this effect is called or how to achieve it, though I am guessing it will require a significant amount of jquery.
An existing website that demonstrates the effect I am trying to achieve is https://software.dakno.com/ with the phone effect in the second area down the page. (I do not own this site nor am I affiliated with the owners). I used chrome developer tools to figure out how it is working, but didn't get too far.
The site that I am working on is http://zack2171.github.io . This is an example site I am using to practice css and web design. The second section is where I am trying to get this effect to work. If someone could help me out a bit and give me some pointers, that would be great. Thanks
To achieve your goal, your definitely looking towards a mixture of jQuery and css. Most of your time will be dedicated towards the scroll position and at what pixel (Scroll distance) is covered to showing your images/text. I would start to align your image that you want in a position that is either fixed or absolute, to give you a better adjustment. Then start to play around with jQuery's Scroll Position. My personal approach would be to to detect the distance scrolled and after reaching those milestones (Half a page / 3/4 of a page) you would use jQuery to verify the position and then display those extra materials you want to show. I hope this kind of let you onto a good starting path.
Quick example, scroll down within the script below and check the console it logs!
$(window).scroll(function() {
console.log($(window).scrollTop());
})
.box {
background-color:#333;
height:5000px;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="box"></div>
I want to have one image above another one that is being revealed on scroll.
I am thinking of a similar effect as on this page: https://affinity.serif.com/de/photo/ (live-filters section, called "fixed-scroll" here).
Preferrably a native CSS solution or with as little JS as possible.
So far, I've found this example https://tympanus.net/Blueprints/ScrollingLayout/
It's almost what I want but I can't think of a way to make the background-attachment fixed to the element's parent rather than the whole viewport.
It only works when it's fullscreen and there's nothing above this effect.
I've also thought about a solution using translate-y but can't find a way to slide the top image up revealing the image underneath instead of sliding the lower image upon the first one.
Can you help me out here or point me in the right direction, how this may be achieved? Thanks!
As far as I know using background-attachment: fixed might be the only way to achieve this particular effect using only CSS, but it looks like that doesn't quite solve your problem.
I would try a simple parallax scrolling library such as parallax.js. This uses javascript to achieve the desired effect but you can apply all the code via CSS data attributes, like so:
<div id="mydiv" data-parallax="scroll" data-speed="0" data-image-src="/path/to/image.jpg"></div>
With data-speed="0" the image inside the div will be stationary as you scroll past.
I am doing an website where I have to keep one image fixed to the screen and on scroll I want different elements to appear one by one and stick to one position. When this is done I continue to the footer of the website.
I have done tried to reach that but whatever I do the page keeps scrolling and does not wait for all the elements to appear on the screen.
Example of what I want to do can be seen here Link on the second page where the mobile phone it is sticked in the screen and on scroll different content appear one by one.
How do I achieve this ? What kind of libraries would you suggest?
Thank you in advance.
stuff like this is usually done with js libriaries, as you already wrote. One that is actively supported and works quite well is Scrollmagic. It should be able to do what you describe, at least it can do the stuff in the example you linked: It can "pin" elements on the page for a defined duration (= "scroll duration") or animate elements controlled by the scroll position.
Scrollmagic can be found on Github or here: http://scrollmagic.io/ , examples to be seen here: http://scrollmagic.io/examples/index.html
Your fixed html content should have css position: fixed;.
Have you tried position: sticky? There may be browser compatibility issues but there are polyfils out there to fix that.
I am developing a mobile web application using jQuery and i have been requested to have each page transition into the next with an animation where the page is "split in half", then have the upper part slides up and the bottom part slides down, thus revealing the next page.
I have a small idea, but i dont seem to have the knowledge to get trough:
2 Canvas with display: none, each width width: 100%, height: 50%. - Check
Have the actual display be rendered into said canvas's - I have not the slightest of ideas.
Ajax the next page in a div below both canvas's - Check
Slide the canvas's in the respective directions - Check
Set the canvas's to display: none and restore them to their original positions - Check
Any thoughts? I'm open to use any other framework appart from jQuery, if that's the need. I am also open to change my canvas idea into something else.
EDIT:
As for clarification imagine the page to be a closet, but a vertical one so its doors (the actual page) will slide into the roof and the floor respectively (Its not the greatest of comparisons, but please bear with me) and thus let you see and interact with the content of the closet (The next page). This will go on and on until the application's workflow ends at the last screen, as there will be no back button.
I'm pretty sure I know what you want. You have multiple pages in your registration/form process and instead of having the old fadein/fadeout or sliding effects, you want the top half to slide up and the bottom half to slide down. In order to do this, I'd dump the canvas idea. I don't think that there's an easy way to do it using canvas as of right now. You could try using the html2canvas script, but it's not 100% accurate when it comes to rendering things like this.
As an alternative, I'd recommend using the following process. As a preface, make sure that every step in your form has its own container div (called something obvious like "step-wrap" or "step-container"). Then, when you begin the animation, the first thing to do is to duplicate the current step-wrap, calling it something like step-wrap-animation. Give the original wrap, step-wrap, a height of 50% and position the duplicate below the first with the same height of 50%. Both of the divs should have styling that has an overflow of hidden. Make sure, also, that you set the scrollTop of the duplicate div to scroll to the bottom so that it looks like a continuation of the first div. Everything from here should be smooth sailing.
Second, once you have everything in the first step working, start the animation process. You can do this however you want now that we have the splitting functionality figured out. Make sure that before you start splitting the two divs apart you put the next step behind the previous so that it unravels.
Essentially, what you need to do is:
Duplicate the div
Position both divs (the original and the duplicate) so that both the heights equal 50% and they look like continuations of each other
Animate the top div up, bottom div down
Here's a basic fiddle illustrating how something like this should work. Click on the rendered screen to get the animation going.
Take a look at backbone.js and marionette.js based on backbone.js.
backbone.js is MVC framework where you can define separate views. Marionette is an extension which supports regions and switching views based on whatever you want. Inside switching logic you can easily implement your transitions. Very generic answer but perhaps it will help you to get started.
I have been trying to understand how they did those effects in http://artofflightmovie.com/ with no success so far. I am not even sure what to google for for help. Could any one ellaborate on it and perhaps put links to plugins\tutorials\other websites doing the same thing?
There is already a similar question, but it didn't help me a bit ^^
Custom scroll bar behavior in Javascript?
All of the answers here so far are spot on and cover various pieces of the execution. Joseph's post about how we 'contained' and 'maneuvered' the site are dead-on, and those mentioning jQuery accurately depict our heavy reliance on it :)
With that said, the other concept of moving along a non-linear path was probably the most difficult part. We literally used an Illustrator file that was setup like a piece of graph paper and drew a bezier path that reflected the movement we wanted from the scrollbar. Then we 'downsampled' the path by converting the curved lines into a bunch of straight lines that represented the curve (similar to downsampling audio waveforms) to keep performance/speed high. We took those coordinates, gave them to our designer, and he created a gigantic design file and literally designed each content section at the designated 'stop' points. Next we mapped each coordinate along the path to a percentage value of the scroll position. We stored these values in a JavaScript array. Lastly we wrote some JS functions that we pipe the scroll position through to determine how to offset the positioning of the site 'container'. (It basically 'tweens' between each coordinate allowing us very fine/precise values at any given scroll percentage) The scroll functionality is handled by a tall div that basically sets our document height to force a scrollbar, and we just read it's position during a Scroll Event and slide the container around to where it should be using the above mentioned functions.
The parallax effect is achieved by applying a percentage of the position offset (what we use to move the container around) and applying it to the sub-containers of the various content sections. This makes the subcontainers move slower or faster than the background, but on the same motion path.
Lastly, the little snowboarders and helicopters (which have CSS3 rotations in addition to x,y movement in some browsers!) are positioned by using a simliar array of 'start' and 'end' positions and tweening between them based on the scroll percentage.
I'll leave it at that to keep this from turning into a book, but I'd be happy to elaborate on specifics if you're interested.
Full disclosure: I was lead developer on the site. I'm not posting to 'toot my own horn' or anything like that, just to be helpful and provide assistance to a fellow tinkerer. I come here a lot to dig through and get insight from others. (many, many thanks to those who have helped us!) Also, shameless plug, but the film is breath-taking... go rent it if you haven't yet, you won't be sorry. :)
That's a pretty cool website ;)
Basically using some javascript you can detect how far a person has scrolled. Considering the amount of scrolling you can move the contents of your webpage around if their position is absolute.
There are a couple of jQuery plugins that allow you to do simular stuff although I'm not sure you can "scroll through" a sequence of coordinates.
Here are a couple of jQuery plugins that helps you get simular effects:
http://johnpolacek.github.com/scrolldeck.js/
http://johnpolacek.github.com/scrollorama/
http://demos.flesler.com/jquery/scrollTo
http://webdev.stephband.info/parallax.html
I just picked a couple I'm familiar with but there are many plugins that are alike.
edit:
Decided to add some more simular websites for your pleasure.

the whole page is an "overlay" - a full width and height wrapper <div>. sort of how modal windows do their "full page shadow" effect and have a small div float inside. the whole page content is in that wrapper. the scroll path is a script. the script captures the body scroll and moves the contents of the div accordingly to the positions provided by the script. with a body long enough to be scrollable (which cannot be seen since the wrapper covers the whole page), it's as if you are scrolling sideways, upwards etc.
an analogy is a modal window. the wrapper is the full-page shade. the modal window is the content. and notice how modal windows stick to the middle? that's using a script to calculate it's position to stay in the middle by moving the modal window down, relative to the page's top. but in that website's case, they move in different directions.
It doesn't seem too complicated.
Using the .scroll(function() {}) in jQuery you listen for a scroll event. When triggered you set the position style (left, top) of the content div to give the appearance of moving sideways instead of down.
I guess you'll need overflow:none property on the div to prevent users from scrolling over the area you don't want them to see.
Sounds like a lot of effort for a clunky user interface in my opinion.
