'Replace' changes entire src and not just the ending.. why? - javascript

Situation:
I have ten gray divs (each with an image and text) as buttons. I want the buttons to have a darker text and darker image when active. When the active button is clicked I want it to deactivate. I also want it to deactivate when another button becomes active.
Problem:
When I replace the ending on the image sources, it changes the complete source on the images to the same as the active one... which changes all the other images to the same icon.
jsfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/messedUP90/gtf1dk0m/
Warning:
The jsfiddle shows the problem I am having with all the other images changing to be the same but for some reason the active image does not change color. It works fine in Dreamweaver so I am not too concerned about that.
$(document).ready(function(){
var x = 300;
$("[id^=pport]").click(function () {
var src = $('.butt', this).attr('src');
if($(this).hasClass('highlight')){
$(this).removeClass('highlight');
$('.butt', this).attr('src', src.replace(/_dark(\.[^.]+)?$/, '_light$1'));
}
else{
$('.butt').removeClass('highlight');
$('.butt').attr('src', src.replace(/_dark(\.[^.]+)?$/, '_light$1'));
$('.talk').fadeOut(x);
$(this).addClass('highlight');
$('.butt', this).attr('src', src.replace(/_light(\.[^.]+)?$/, '_dark$1'));
}
});
});

The problem is as you describe - you are changing the src of every icon to be the src of the one you have clicked, just swapping light with dark.
I.E. early on you set var src = $('.butt', this).attr('src');
At no point do you then re-set the variable src to anything else.
You then $('.butt').attr('src', src.replace(/_dark(\.[^.]+)?$/, '_light$1'));
This sets the src attribute of all elements with the butt class to the light version of the clicked icon.
That's where your problem lies...
Instead of simply trying to change the images in one go, you need to loop over the full set:
$('.butt').each( function( index ) {
if ( $(this).attr('src') ) {
$(this).attr('src', $(this).attr('src').replace(/_dark(\.[^.]+)?$/, '_light$1'));
}
});
Fiddle (working but with the same light / dark limitations as yours) here: http://jsfiddle.net/gtf1dk0m/1/

$('.butt').removeClass('highlight');
removes the highlight class from every element with the butt class. Likewise for the attribute replacement. You need to use $(this) instead.

What Javascript if/else statement can return an enlarged image to its default size?

I am new to this website and to coding in general. I am having trouble attempting to get an image to shrink back to its "small" size after being enlarged by a single click.
This is my HTML element:
<img src="http://image.com/123.jpg"
id="smart_thumbnail"
class="small"
This id and class cannot be changed, as it is for an assignment. The "small" class automatically turns the image into a thumbnail. It enlarges upon clicking, but I cannot get it to return to its "small" state by clicking it again. It must be done with an if/else statement.
Here is the Javascript template given:
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) {
var thumbnailElement = document.getElementById("smart_thumbnail");
thumbnailElement.addEventListener("click", function() {
thumbnailElement.className = "";
});
});
The double quotes is the "enlarge" class.
Thank you, and I apologize if this post does not fit the format required on this site. I also searched everywhere for this solution but could not find it for the life of me.
This can be done using the DOM classList attribute:
thumbnailElement.classList.toggle("small");
This will remove the small class from the element if it is present, otherwise it will add it.

Trigger a fade when swapping between classes using jQuery

I have following code working so far: JSFIDDLE DEMO
The relevant JS is here:
// Define classes & background element.
var classes = ['bg1','bg2','bg3','bg4'],
$bg = document.getElementById('blah');
// On first run:
$bg.className = sessionStorage.getItem('currentClass') || classes[0];
// On button click:
$('.swapper').mousedown(function () {
// (1) Get current class of background element,
// find its index in "classes" Array.
var currentClassIndex = classes.indexOf($bg.className);
// (2) Get new class from list.
var nextClass = classes[(currentClassIndex + 1)%classes.length];
// (3) Assign new class to background element.
$bg.className = nextClass;
// (4) Save new class in sessionStorage.
sessionStorage.setItem('currentClass', nextClass);
});
For my purposes, this functionally working great -- I can click a single button to continually swap between those four classes while also storing the current class to sessionStorage, so that when I click links on my website, the currentClass is loaded right away. (Note: on my website the setup is the same, but the classes bg1, bg2, bg3, and bg4 contain background images.)
What I'd like it to do:
When swapping from one class to another, I'd like it to do a quick/short cross-fade. Right now it just snaps from one class/background to another.
My thinking was: is there a way I can trigger a CSS class transition or animation that contains the fade, perhaps as a parent class? I know there's a jQuery fade function, but I haven't been able to get it working with my setup so that it triggers on mouseClick.
Here's an updated jsfiddle based on your comment where you said you've sort of having it work.
I've added the timeout functions
setTimeout(function(){$bg.className = nextClass}, 500);
setTimeout(function(){$($bg).fadeIn(500)}, 500)
The first timeout makes it so that the image is swapped right after the first image fades out. The second timeout gives it a bit of time to load in so it's not so jittery.
You can play with the }, 500); number to get it timed just like you want, 500 is half a second, 1000 is a second etc.

jQuery: inserting text into container div on hover

I'm using a simple jQuery image slider (Owl Carousel) to show a list of speakers at a convention with photos, and I'm trying to find a way to overlay text associated with each speaker onto a div placed above the slider. I have a mockup page here. As you can see on the mockup, I have two primary divs-- i.e. div#sit and div#carousel-sit; within the former I have an container with the class .sit-quote-container into which I'd like the quote text/markup injected. I would like this overlay text to pull from the paragraph elements with the .sit-quote class that exist for each speaker.
In addition to the problem of displaying the appropriate text within the container div, I'm seeing that placing the .sit-quote paragraph within each slide is causing a gap to appear under the speaker name (the grey box underneath) and I have no idea why this is happening given that I've set .sit-quote to display:none. I'm wondering if perhaps I need to move the elements containing the quotations out of the slider markup altogether (?)
As for the actual hover function, this is what I have so far, with the help of another SO user; but it doesn't seem to be working:
$(".slide-sit").hover(function() {
var clone = $(this).find(".sit-quote").clone();
clone.appendTo(".sit-quote-container");
}, function(){
$(".sit-quote-container").html(""); // this clears the content on mouseout
});
Ultimately, I'd like the quotes to fade in/out positioned within the main div. Thanks for any assistance, and please let me know if I need to provide further clarification as to the aim here.
you should first visible that quote
try this:
$(".slide-sit").hover(function() {
var clone = $(this).find(".sit-quote").clone();
clone.appendTo(".sit-quote-container").show(); // Here you should show the quote
}, function(){
$(".sit-quote-container").html("");
});
if you want to fade in:
$(".slide-sit").hover(function() {
var clone = $(this).find(".sit-quote").clone();
clone.appendTo(".sit-quote-container").fadeIn(); //Here if you want to fade the quote
}, function(){
$(".sit-quote-container").html("");
});
Use the below script to pull the text from .sit-quote p tag of the hovered item and display it in the .sit-quote-container
UPDATE
If needed wrap the quote in a para tag and to avoid complexity use a different class name, in this case .sit-quote_inner.
CSS : .sit-quote_inner{ display:none; }
JS
$('.sit-carousel-container .owl-item').hover(function(){
var quote = $(this).find('.sit-quote').text(); //Only text not the p tag
quote = '<p class="sit-quote_inner">' + quote + '</p>';
$('.sit-header .sit-quote-container').html(quote);
$('.sit-quote_inner').fadeIn(); //Add this
},function(){
$('.sit-header .sit-quote-container').html('');
});
The carousel seems to be dynamically injecting clones of the slides. In this case, you might want to delegate your event handler so that it works with the dynamically generated slides.
Also, if you want to fadeOut the text, you should remove it in the complete callback of fafeOut instead of simply emptying the html Try
$(document).on("mouseenter",".slide-sit",function() {
var clone = $(this).find(".sit-quote").clone();
clone.appendTo(".sit-quote-container").fadeIn("slow");
});
$(document).on("mouseleave",".slide-sit", function(){
$(".sit-quote-container")
.find(".sit-quote")
.fadeOut("slow",function(){ // Fadeout and then remove the text
$(this).remove();
})
});
The gap (grey background) is the background of .slide-sit, which is visible due to the margin-bottom: 15px; applied on the paragraph containing name (style rule .item p main.css line 67 it seems), removing this will fix the issue.
Update
It'd be better if you keep a .slide-sit inside the .sit-quote-container so that you can fade it in/out properly using the below script.
$(document).on("mouseenter",".sit-carousel-container .slide-sit",function() {
var content = $(this).find(".sit-quote").html();
(".sit-quote-container .sit-quote").html(content).fadeIn("slow");
});
$(document).on("mouseleave",".sit-carousel-container .slide-sit", function(){
$(".sit-quote-container").find(".sit-quote").fadeOut("slow")
});

How to 'copy and paste' an element in jQuery?

I'm making a simple lightbox. If you click on an image, it takes that image and shows it full screen with a black background behind it.
Here is my code:
$('.theContent img').live('click', function(e) {
var lbImg = $(this);
$('#lb').toggle();
$('#lb').find("#lbImg").append(lbImg);
)
Thing is, it takes away the variable lbImg and puts it in the lightbox. I dont want that, i just want to copy that bit of info and duplicate, rather than reposition. How would you go about that?
Use the .clone() method to copy the element:
var lbImg = $(this).clone();
Normally, when an element is re-appended, it is removed from the previous location. When an element have to be appended without removing it from the previous spot, it has to be duplicated.

Java Script Mousovers

I am implementing a mouseover, which changes the background of a div onMouseDown, and onMouseUp, I am also trying to preload the images.
This is what I have so far;
if(document.images) {
buttonDown = new Image();
buttonDown.src = "buttonDown.png";
}
function down(affect) {
affect.style.backgroundColor="#333333";
affect.style.color="#ffffff";
affect.style.background = buttonDown;
return true;
}
the div uses onMouseDown="down(this);"
This doesn't work. The only part that doesn't work is -- affect.style.background = buttonDown;
I left out the script tags, but they are all there and work as they should.
My question is how do I assign the background property to a preloaded image verses just using a string to assign the image by name.
First, I think you are accessing the wrong style attribute; If you are going to use backgroundColor, may as well go with the more specific backgroundImage.
Second, it requires a string, not an Image Object.
Try this:
affect.style.backgroundImage='url(' + buttonDown.src + ')';
All that said, I would look into image Sprites and HTML classes (CSS) =)
I did some more research and this is what I found. You can preload the images by using a div which is set to style="display:none" and within that div include the images.
As long as the next time you refer to the image, you use the same path it will be preloaded.
