I'm working on a widget for a web application. When the user selects something in the widget, I use a CSS animation to hide it, then change something in the page based on the selection. I use the animationend event to wait before proceeding.
The widget can have multiple themes, meaning someone might choose not use a CSS animation. I would like to separate logic and presentation as much as possible, so I would prefer to avoid making other themes use JS.
How can I handle the fact that I don't know if an animation is present?
I was hoping to do something like the following, but I can't find anything like isAnimating in documentation.
elem.classList.add('hide');
if(elem.isAnimating()) {
elem.addEventListener('animationend', callback);
} else {
callback();
}
You can use the animationstart event.
var anmtn = false;
, switcher = function(){anmtn = !anmtn})
elem.addEventListener('animationstart', switcher);
elem.addEventListener('animationend', switcher);
//Poll for animation.
var e = setInterval(function() {
if( anmtn )
//code
},62)
That should work. Untested!

I want to replay my jquery function ChangeStats() every 5 seconds, it's currently doing sod all.
function ChangeStats() {
$('body').find('.admin-stats-big-figures-hidden').fadeIn(500);
setTimeout(function() {
$('body').find('.admin-stats-big-figures').fadeOut(500);
}, 500);
}
$(document).ready(function(){
setInterval(ChangeStats, 5000);
})();
Yes I have got the right class names.
No I haven't used underscores in my HTML.
I think it's something to do with my use of "find()", once the DOM has loaded and the function is set is it meant to traverse up the DOM tree instead of down?
EDIT:
Updated code, still not working.
HTML:
<span class="admin-stats-big-figures">%productCount%</span>
<span class="admin-stats-big-figures-hidden">hey</span>
Ok, I am going to go out on a limb and make several assumptions here; one is that you wish to cycle between two elements repeatedly, another is that you are using $(this) in the context of the window rather than a containing element. If either of these are incorrect then the following solution may not be suitable. However, let's give this a shot, eh?
1) You need to use setInterval rather than setTimeout to create a repeating call. You can of course "chain" your timeouts (ie: call the succeeding timeout from the code of the current timeout). This has some benefits in certain situations, but for now let's just assume you will use intervals rather than timeouts.
2) You call the find() jQuery method every time, which is a little unnecessary, especially if you will be repeating the actions so one idea would be to cache the lookup. If you are going to do that a custom object would be more suitable than separate global variables.
3) Some flexibility in terms of starting and stopping the animation could be provided. If we use a custom object as mentioned in (2) then that can easily be added.
4) You are using fadeIn and fadeOut, however if you wish the items to cycle then fadeToggle may be your best solution as it will simply allow you to do exactly that, toggle, without needing to check the current opacity state of the element.
5) Finally in my example I have provided a little extra "padding HTML" in order for the example to look good when run. Fading in jQuery will actually set the faded item to a CSS display of "none" which results in the content "jumping about" in this demo, so I have used some div's and a couple of HTML entity spaces to keep the formatting.
Ok, after all that here is the code..
// your custom animation object
var myAnim = {
// these will be cached variables used in the animation
elements : null,
interval : null,
// default values for fading and anim delays are set to allow them to be optional
delay : { fade: 500, anim: 200 },
// call the init() function in order to set the variables and trigger the animation
init : function(classNameOne, classNameTwo, fadeDelay, animDelay) {
this.elements = [$("."+classNameOne),$("."+classNameTwo)];
// if no fade and animation delays are provided (or if they are 0) the default ones are used
if (animDelay) this.delay.anim = animDelay;
if (fadeDelay) this.delay.fade= fadeDelay;
this.elements[0].fadeOut(function(){myAnim.start()});
},
// this is where the actual toggling happens, it uses the fadeToggle callback function to fade in/out one element once the previous fade has completed
update : function() {
this.elements[0].fadeToggle(this.delay.anim,function(el,delay){el.fadeToggle(delay)}(this.elements[1],this.delay.anim));
},
// the start() method allows you to (re)start the animation
start : function() {
if (this.interval) return; // do nothing if the animation is currently running
this.interval = setInterval(function(){myAnim.update()},this.delay.fade);
},
// and as you would expect the stop() stops it.
stop : function () {
if (!this.interval) return; // do nothing if the animation had already stopped
clearInterval(this.interval);
this.interval = null;
}
}
// this is the jQuery hook in order to run the animation the moment the document is ready
$(document).ready(
function(){
// the first two parameters are the two classnames of the elements
// the last two parameters are the delay between the animation repeating and the time taken for each animation (fade) to happen. The first one should always be bigger
myAnim.init("admin-stats-big-figures","admin-stats-big-figures-hidden",500,200);
}
);
OK, so now we need the HTML to compliment this (as I say I have added a little formatting):
<div><span class="admin-stats-big-figures">One</span> </div>
<div><span class="admin-stats-big-figures-hidden">Two</span> </div>
<hr/>
<input type="button" value="Start" onclick="myAnim.start()"/> | <input type="button" value="Stop" onclick="myAnim.stop()"/>
I have also provided buttons to stop/start the animation. You can see a working example at this JSFiddle - although the stop/start buttons are not working (presumably something specific to JSFiddle) they do work when in context though.
Here im gonna just replace your $(this). and maybe it'll work then.. also using callback.
function ChangeStats() {
$('body').find('.admin-stats-big-figures-hidden').fadeIn(500, function() {
$('body').find('.admin-stats-big-figures').fadeOut(500);
});
}
$(document).ready(function(){
setTimeout('ChangeStats()', 5000);
});
I am writing a script that needs to detect elements added to a Web page, for example events rendered in a calendar (div tags). I don't care about elements that are removed. There should be at most 20-30 such elements on the page.
My idea - short and easy code - is to use a specific class ("myName") to brand elements already in the page. At regular intervals I would poll the page:
// Get all divs in the calendar:
var allDivsCount=myCalendar.querySelectorAll("div").length;
// Get already branded divs
var oldDivsCount=myCalendar.querySelectorAll("div.myName").length;
if (allDivsCount > oldDivsCount) {
// brand the new divs and do stuff
}
Is this a good practice, or is there a better way to do it? Are there libraries that already have such logic implemented?
I am trying to avoid DOMNodeInserted as some browsers don't support it and it is deprecated (due to performance issues, from what I've read).
I know that you're against DOMNodeInserted but I'll added it anyways for options (in case you're not supporting older version of IE).
I blogged about this a while back but it seems like the same solution still applies today (but like I said, depending on the browsers you currently support).
Example:
$(document.body).on('DOMNodeInserted', function (e) {
if (e.currentTarget.toString() === 'HTMLBodyElement') {
console.log(e);
}
});
This triggers any changes within the body not just the body itself.
$('#context').append($('<div />')); // triggers the event above
If you can intercept a DOM change (an AJAX call for instance) and create a global callback function, that would be ideal instead of the setInterval option.
var globalCallback = function() {
/** Do something when the DOM changes */
};
/** Global AJAX event to watch for all AJAX complete within the body */
$('body').ajaxComplete(globalCallback);
This is just one example (AJAX callbacks) of course.
I am pretty new to web design. I just finished my first static website.
What i dont like about it is that the page often reload (each time you change section)
My question is "how to make this kind of nav : http://www.doblin.com/work/#innovation-strategy"
As you see the page doesnt reload when you click on "Set Innovation Strategy / Design, Build + Launch Innovations / Become Better Innovators"
How it s done ?
Is it possible on a static website (html/css/jquery) without sql or so (it may require ajax or ...) ?
Thanks
Taking a look at the code, this page uses some jQuery functions to do this work, check it out:
$(window).hashchange( function(){
var hash = location.hash;
// if a hash has been set
if(hash !== '') {
showContent(hash, origSections);
} else {
// pass in "empty" hash
showContent('', origSections);
}
return false;
});
// call hashchange on initial page load
$(window).hashchange();
// ----------- SHOW CONTENT ----------- //
function showContent(active, all) {
if (jQuery.support.opacity) {
opacity = true;
} else {
opacity = false;
}
This can also be done using CSS3 transitions and animations. Here's a pen based on this Codrops tutorial. I particularly think this is a better approach
But if you want to get dynamic data from somewhere, i advise you to use Ajax(There are some cool jQuery stuff to handle this)
you can use Jquery on your static website. You can go through below link
Jquery
But if you wish to save data and retrieve from server then you need to use Ajax to avoid refreshing page.There are many tutorials available on how to use Ajax
Take a (hard) look at JQuery or Dojo, any of them will be your friend.
Your example uses JQuery.
It can be done on one static page without worries.
Here you have some demos: http://jqueryui.com/tabs/
You can also study jquery on http://w3schools.com/jquery/default.asp
After a long struggle, I've finally found the only way to clear autofill styling in every browser:
$('input').each(function() {
var $this = $(this);
$this.after($this.clone()).remove();
});
However, I can’t just run this in the window load event; autofill applies sometime after that. Right now I’m using a 100ms delay as a workaround:
// Kill autofill styles
$(window).on({
load: function() {
setTimeout(function() {
$('.text').each(function() {
var $this = $(this);
$this.after($this.clone()).remove();
});
}, 100);
}
});
and that seems safe on even the slowest of systems, but it’s really not elegant. Is there some kind of reliable event or check I can make to see if the autofill is complete, or a cross-browser way to fully override its styles?
If you're using Chrome or Safari, you can use the input:-webkit-autofill CSS selector to get the autofilled fields.
Example detection code:
setInterval(function() {
var autofilled = document.querySelectorAll('input:-webkit-autofill');
// do something with the elements...
}, 500);
There's a bug open over at http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=46543#c22 relating to this, it looks like it might (should) eventually be possible to just write over the default styling with an !important selector, which would be the most elegant solution. The code would be something like:
input {
background-color: #FFF !important;
}
For now though the bug is still open and it seems like your hackish solution is the only solution for Chrome, however a) the solution for Chrome doesn't need setTimeout and b) it seems like Firefox might respect the !important flag or some sort of CSS selector with high priority as described in Override browser form-filling and input highlighting with HTML/CSS. Does this help?
I propose you avoiding the autofill in first place, instead of trying to trick the browser
<form autocomplete="off">
More information: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-forms/current-work/#the-autocomplete
If you want to keep the autofill behaviour but change the styling, maybe you can do something like this (jQuery):
$(document).ready(function() {
$("input[type='text']").css('background-color', 'white');
});
$(window).load(function()
{
if ($('input:-webkit-autofill'))
{
$('input:-webkit-autofill').each(function()
{
$(this).replaceWith($(this).clone(true,true));
});
// RE-INITIALIZE VARIABLES HERE IF YOU SET JQUERY OBJECT'S TO VAR FOR FASTER PROCESSING
}
});
I noticed that the jQuery solution you posted does not copy attached events. The method I have posted works for jQuery 1.5+ and should be the preferred solution as it retains the attached events for each object. If you have a solution to loop through all initialized variables and re-initialize them then a full 100% working jQuery solution would be available, otherwise you have to re-initialize set variables as needed.
for example you do: var foo = $('#foo');
then you would have to call: foo=$('#foo');
because the original element was removed and a clone now exists in its place.
We're trying to make sure our JavaScript menu, which loads content, doesn't get overrun with commands before the content in question loads and is unfurled via .show('blind', 500), because then the animations run many times over, and it doesn't look so great. So I've got about six selectors that look like this:
("#center_content:not(:animated)")
And it doesn't seem to be having any effect. Trying only :animated has the expected effect (it never works, because it doesn't start animated), and trying :not(div) also has this effect (because #center_content is a div). For some reason, :not(:animated) seems not to be changing the results, because even when I trigger the selector while the div in question is visibly animated, the code runs. I know I've had success with this sort of thing before, but the difference here eludes me.
$("#center_content:not(:animated)").hide("blind", 500, function () {
var selector_str = 'button[value="' + url + '"]';
//alert(selector_str);
var button = $(selector_str);
//inspectProperties(button);
$("#center_content:not(:animated)").load(url, CenterContentCallback);
if (button) {
$("#navigation .active").removeClass("active");
button.addClass("active");
LoadSubNav(button);
}
});
I hope this provides sufficient context. I feel like the second selector is overkill (since it would only be run if the first selector succeeded), but I don't see how that would cause it to behave in this way.
Here's the snippet that seemed to be working in the other context:
function clearMenus(callback) {
$('[id$="_wrapper"]:visible:not(:animated)').hide("blind", 500, function() {
$('[id^="edit_"]:visible:not(:animated)').hide("slide", 200, function() {
callback();
});
});
}
Here, the animations queue instead of interrupt each other, but it occurs to me that the selector still doesn't seem to be working - the animations and associated loading events shouldn't be running at all, because the selectors should fail. While the queueing is nice behavior for animations to display, it made me realize that I seem to have never gotten this selector to work. Am I missing something?
Sometimes it's helpful to use .stop() and stop the current animation before you start the new animation.
$("#center_content").stop().hide("blind", 500, function () {});
Really depends on how it behaves within your environment. Remember that .stop() will stop the animation as it was (eg. halfway through hiding or fading)
I don't know if I understand it correctly, but if you want to make sure the user doesn't trigger the menu animation again while it's currently animating(causing it to queue animations and look retarded, this works and should help. I use an if-statement. And before any mouseover/off animation I add .stop(false, true).
$('whatever').click(function(){
//if center_content is not currently animated, do this:
if ($("#center_content").not(":animated")) {
$(this).hide(etc. etc. etc.)
}
//else if center_content IS currently animated, do nothing.
else {
return false;}
});
another example i found elsewhere:
if($("#someElement").is(":animated")) {
...
}
if($("#someElement:animated").length) {
...
}
// etc
then you can do:
$("#showBtn").attr("disabled", $("#someElement").is(":animated"));
