Show / Hide images randomly using jQuery - javascript

I want to create a function that grabs all the instances of an image class on the page. As default these will be hidden, then randomly after a certain interval show one of those images (can be any image). Then the function will rerun and show another image. (whilst hiding the image that was shown on the first run through.
I've got to this stage with the function (not currently working)
(function randomShow() {
var showDiv = $('.show'),
el = showDiv.eq(Math.floor(Math.random() * showDiv.length));
el.show().delay(2000).show(randomShow);
})();
Thanks

I put together a jsFiddle using divs in place of images to demonstrate (pure js):
http://jsfiddle.net/oogley_boogley/az9gd8wf/
the script:
var divs = document.getElementsByClassName('square');
var arrLength = divs.length;
var randomNumberLimit;
var interval_speed = 1000;
setInterval(function(){
randomNumberLimit = Math.floor((Math.random() * arrLength) + 1);
for(i=0;i<arrLength;i++){
var matchingDiv = divs[i];
if(matchingDiv.id == randomNumberLimit){
matchingDiv.setAttribute("class","showing square blue");
}
if(matchingDiv.id != randomNumberLimit){
matchingDiv.setAttribute("class","hiding square blue");
}
}
}, interval_speed);

Function executes only once when using onClick event [javascript]

I am trying to randomly change background image of a div (#reaction-background) after every click of a button (#angry) with onclick event.
However, the background image only changes once after clicking the button.
HTML:
<div class="btn-list">
<a id="angry">ANGRY</a>
<div id="reaction-background"></div>
Javascript:
// array of pictures
var fileNamesReactions = [
"angry1.jpg",
"angry2.jpg",
"angry3.jpg",
"angry4.jpg",
"angry5.jpg"
];
// random reaction index
var randomIndexReaction = Math.floor(Math.random() * fileNamesReactions.length);
// randomize pictures
document.getElementById("angry").onclick = function() {
document.getElementById("reaction-background").style.background = "url(./img/reactions/angry/" + fileNamesReactions[randomIndexReaction] + ")";
document.getElementById("reaction-background").style.backgroundRepeat = "no-repeat";
document.getElementById("reaction-background").style.backgroundSize = "contain";
}
Your click event handler is, in fact, running every time you click. The problem is that you are only generating a random number once, before any clicks happen and so you set the background image once and further clicks just set the same image over and over.
You need to move the random generator inside of the click callback so that a new random number is generated upon each click.
Also, don't use the onclick property of the element to set up the callback. While this approach works, it's outdated and you should use the more robust and standard .addEventListener() method to set up events.
In addition, do your styling in CSS as much as possible and use CSS classes.
Putting it all together:
// array of pictures
var fileNamesReactions = [
"angry1.jpg",
"angry2.jpg",
"angry3.jpg",
"angry4.jpg",
"angry5.jpg"
];
// Get your DOM references that you'll use repeatedly just once:
let backgroundElement = document.getElementById("reaction-background");
// randomize pictures
document.getElementById("angry").addEventListener("click", function() {
// You have to get a new random each time the click occurs.
var random = Math.floor(Math.random() * fileNamesReactions.length);
backgroundElement.style.background = "url(./img/reactions/angry/" + fileNamesReactions[random] + ")";
console.log(backgroundElement.style.background);
});
/* Use CSS classes as much as possible as they make code much simpler */
#reaction-background {
background-size:"contain";
background-repeat:"no-repeat";
}
<div class="btn-list">
<a id="angry">ANGRY</a>
<div id="reaction-background"></div>
</div>
Move the random number statement inside the onclick method so that it generate a new number on every click. Please find code below:
// array of pictures
var fileNamesReactions = [
"angry1.jpg",
"angry2.jpg",
"angry3.jpg",
"angry4.jpg",
"angry5.jpg"
];
// randomize pictures
document.getElementById("angry").onclick = function() {
// random reaction index
var randomIndexReaction = Math.floor(Math.random() * fileNamesReactions.length);
document.getElementById("reaction-background").style.background = "url(./img/reactions/angry/" + fileNamesReactions[randomIndexReaction] + ")";
document.getElementById("reaction-background").style.backgroundRepeat = "no-repeat";
document.getElementById("reaction-background").style.backgroundSize = "contain";
}

javascript value is not updating after onmousevent

I use 1 span tag at the moment.
<span onmouseover="numberOne()" onclick="imgNumber(); return false" onmouseout="noHoverOne()" class="img1 img" id="new-img"> </span>
The span has a "deafult" image, when the mouse goes on the span, another image will be shown, when the mouse leaves the span, the default image will be shown again.
now the javascript:
function numberOne() {
var random2 = Math.floor((Math.random() * 3) + 1);
var random3 = Math.floor((Math.random() * 3) + 1);
do {
var random = Math.floor((Math.random() * 3) + 1);
} while (random === numberOne.last);
numberOne.last = random;
Random numbers are made here. So every time you leave the span and go on the span, there will be a different image.
if (random == 2) {
document.getElementById('new-img').style = "background-image: url('http://web-stars.nl/molgeld.jpg');";
} else if ((random==random2)==random3) {
document.getElementById('new-img').style = "background-image: url('http://web-stars.nl/vrijstelling.jpg');";
} else {
document.getElementById('new-img').style = "background-image: url('http://web-stars.nl/haspel.jpg');";
}
These are the images that will be shown depending on the number
return random;
}
var value = numberOne();
function imgNumber() {
document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = value;
}
imgNumber();
This is where I am stuck. Before I even have touched the span tag with my mouse, there is already a random number and when I go with the mouse on the span tag, it shows a different image but not a different number. I want to use this number somehow to create a new level for my game. The game is influenced by the chosen image.
So there is a lot going on and it's pretty messy. So please, I would love to hear any kind of constructive feedback.
[EDIT] I will keep the JSfiddle up to date, but there is an error in the preview, it won't display anything. It's still useful Jsfiddle
use a wrapper function where you can call both imgNumber and numberOne
function mouseHover() {
var value = numberOne()
imgNumber(value)
}
function imgNumber(value) {
document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = value;
}
<span onmouseover="mouseHover()" onclick="imgNumber(); return false" onmouseout="noHoverOne()" class="img1 img" id="new-img"> </span>
Your code is a bit illogical. It seems you want to randomly assign an image to an element background and get a different element each time. So put the image URLs in an array and randomly grab one, ensuring it's different to the last. This means you can add or reduce the images you want to display just by modifying the images array.
Also put all your data in an object rather than using globals, it's just neater. And give your functions names that tell you what they do.
E.g.
var imageData = {
pix: ['http://web-stars.nl/molgeld.jpg',
'http://web-stars.nl/vrijstelling.jpg',
'http://web-stars.nl/haspel.jpg'
],
random: null
}
function changeImage(el) {
// limit do loop just in case data is bad
// Infinite loops are bad...
var len = imageData.pix.length;
var i = len;
do {
var random = Math.random() * len | 0;
} while (i-- && imageData.random == random)
imageData.random = random;
el.style.backgroundImage = imageData.pix[random];
console.log(random, imageData.pix[random]);
}
function updateImageRef() {
document.getElementById('imageRef').textContent = imageData.random;
}
<div id="imageDiv" onmouseover="changeImage(this)" onclick="updateImageRef()">Image div</div>
<div id="imageRef"><div>

Javascript memory card game last card not flipping

Hi I have a memory game that has a demo here.
https://kuochye.github.io/memorygame/
I have a issue with the last card not flipping over and can't figure out why.
document.querySelectorAll(".flip-container").forEach(card => card.classList.add("clicked"));
setTimeout(function () {
document.querySelectorAll(".flip-container").forEach(card =>
card.classList.remove("clicked"));
}, 30000);
^ This was what I did to show the cards for 30 secs before it flips down. But somehow the last card is not showing.
// Build single card
var buildCardNode = function (index, value, isRevealed, width, height) {
var flipContainer = document.createElement("li");
var flipper = document.createElement("div");
var front = document.createElement("a");
var back = document.createElement("a");
flipContainer.index = index;
flipContainer.style.width = width;
flipContainer.style.height = height;
flipContainer.classList.add("flip-container");
if (isRevealed) {
flipContainer.classList.add("clicked");
}
flipper.classList.add("flipper");
front.classList.add("front");
front.setAttribute("href", "#");
back.classList.add("back");
back.classList.add("card-" + value);
back.setAttribute("href", "#");
flipper.appendChild(front);
flipper.appendChild(back);
flipContainer.appendChild(flipper);
flipContainer.addEventListener('click', handleFlipCard);
document.querySelectorAll(".flip-container").forEach(card => card.classList.add("clicked"));
setTimeout(function () {
document.querySelectorAll(".flip-container").forEach(card =>
card.classList.remove("clicked"));
}, 30000);
return flipContainer;
};
What you're doing is looking for every card that has already been added and flipping it. That would be fine, but you're doing it before adding each card to the document. So for each card added it finds every card added previously and flips it.
You want to be doing one of two things instead:
a. Flip all cards after they have been added to the document (by moving that first piece of code out of buildCardNode function to where it is called from).
b. Flip each card directly before it is added to the document (instead of using document.querySelectorAll.forEach, you use flipContainer.classList.add/remove).

Access SVG DOM / 'g' Elements Created in Adobe Illustrator

I am trying to access the SVG DOM that has a variety of adobe illustrator (layered) elements within the SVG file. Ideally, I would align the HTML slider range number (1-100) with a individual 'g' elements and animate, hide, show when that range number is reached as the user engages with the slider.
Please see github project:
https://github.com/EdBrooks/media-stroke
$(document).ready(function() {
var input = document.getElementsByTagName('input')[0];
var svg = $('#svgFile').svg({loadURL: 'img/media_stroke.svg'});
for (i=0; i < svg.length; i++) {
var g = document.getElementsByTagName('g');
var g1 = [{0:g}];
console.log(g1);
// var g1 = document.getElementById('group1').style.visibility = "hidden";
// var re = [{0:g}];
// console.log(re);
}
function InputVal() {
this.number =
$('input');
var change = input.addEventListener('change', function() {
var value = this.value
console.log(value);
if (value == 23) {
alert('wow dumb')
}
}, false);
}
InputVal();
});
It looks like you want to perform manipulation on SVG elements and do some animation.. for that you can use library like Snap.svg which is similar to jQuery for HTML Dom!

Showing random divs images every time page is load

Lets say I have these images gallery, how do i randomly display the images everytime when i reload the page?
http://creativepreviews.com/fiddle/study/20131007/
Let's say the image will display in the background of the DIV, then the following should do it.
// JS
var imgArray = ["img1.jpg", "cat.jpg", "sky.jpg"]
function randomBg() {
x = Math.random()
y = Math.round(x * 10)
if (imgArray[y] != undefined) {
document.getElementById("blah").style.backgroundImage = "url('" + imgArray[y] + "')"
} else {
document.getElementById("blah").style.backgroundImage = "url('default.jpg')"
}
}
...and the HTML.
<script src="test.js"></script>
<body onload="randomBg()">
<div id="blah"></div>
...or you could replace the style.backgroundImage in the JS with innerHTML = <img src=" etc...
You could do something along these lines (not tested)
var grd = $('#grid');
var imgs = grd.children();
imgs.sort(function(){return (Math.round(Math.random()) - 0.5);});
grd.remove('li');
for(var i=0;i < imgs.length;i++) grd.append(imgs[i]);
In essence what we are doing is getting all the li elements in 'grid' into an array, randomizing them, removing them all from 'grid' and then putting them back in again.
If you had supplied a working fiddle rather than a link to the finished article it would be easier to modify it and provide a more complete solution.
