At a road block with scroll section for my featured items on site

On my site I have a scroll section that will display watches and allow you to scroll on the section similar to what rolex does on their homepage. I created div container for the section and added a wrapper container that I was using to control the items. I also was trying to add arrows that can be used as an option to scroll just like how rolex does on theirs. Nothing is working. The items are there but the functionality isnt. Take a look at Rolex website and scroll down to their watches section on the home page. I want to do exactly that.
I tried adding JavaScript to make it functional but that did nothing for me. I even added a console.log() to see if anything would print in the browser console and got nothing. Please help.
// Select the left and right arrow buttons
const leftButton = document.querySelector('.arrow-button.left');
const rightButton = document.querySelector('.arrow-button.right');
// Select the watch items wrapper element
const watchItemsWrapper = document.querySelector('.watch-items-wrapper');
// Scroll the watch items wrapper element to the left or right when the arrow buttons are clicked
leftButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
watchItemsWrapper.scrollBy({
left: watchItemsWrapper.scrollLeft - 200, // Scroll 200 pixels to the left
behavior: 'smooth' // Use a smooth scroll transition
});
});
rightButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
watchItemsWrapper.scrollBy({
left: watchItemsWrapper.scrollLeft + 200, // Scroll 200 pixels to the right
behavior: 'smooth' // Use a smooth scroll transition
});
});

Add overflow: scroll to your .watch-items-wrapper:
.watch-items-wrapper {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: nowrap;
overflow: scroll;
}
You can remove the overflow: scroll; from your .watch-reel-container, it's not needed. If you want the container to span full width then add overflow: hidden to your .watch-reel-container.
Next adjust both your scroll functions as such:
Left:
leftButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
watchItemsWrapper.scrollBy({
left: -200,
behavior: 'smooth'
});
});
Right:
rightButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
watchItemsWrapper.scrollBy({
left: 200,
behavior: 'smooth'
});
});
I think this will give you the functionality you're looking for.
If you'd like to hide the scrollbar but keep the functionality, check our this doc from w3schools.
I hope this helps!

Add image below a certain class of element using css

What I want to do:
I want to add a "walkingMan" image under an element when its class is changed to activeCell. I know how to do it when the image is added to the front or back of the element using pseudo class, but as far as I know, there isn't something like :below that I can use to achieve the same effect. Is there a way in css I can use to micmic this?
What I have done:
I have added image below every upper cell and make it visible when the class is changed to activeCell. But I hope to find a more simple solution.
What it looks like:
Code: Simplified Code Example

You can use a single pseudo element on the .cell element and place a background image on it when it's active.
let activeIndex = 0;
const cells = [...document.querySelectorAll('.cell')];
setInterval(() => {
cells.forEach(cell => {
cell.classList.remove('activeCell')
});
cells[activeIndex].classList.add('activeCell');
activeIndex = activeIndex === cells.length - 1 ? 0 : (activeIndex + 1);
}, 300)
.cell {
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid black;
margin-bottom: 1.2em;
}
.activeCell {
background-color: lightgrey;
position: relative;
}
.activeCell::after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
width: 1em;
height: 1em;
top: 1.3em;
left: calc(50% - .5em); /* Center the stickman. Position it half of its width before the parent center*/
background-image: url('https://www.shareicon.net/data/512x512/2016/01/17/704754_people_512x512.png');
background-size:cover; /* Scale the stickman to completely cover the background area. */

I've never been a fan of the ::before and ::after pseudo classes mainly because I've personally noticed some oddities when trying to position things in Chrome vs IE (damn it IE!). Since most people here are going to give a solution using these pseudo classes (because that's somewhat what you asked) I thought I'd give a different solution using flexbox and more divs.
Not the most optimal for download size but I do like that it's not absolute positioning elements and if the squares get bigger or smaller it's pretty easy to handle that as a scss variable at the top of the file. This all uses only two values, your padding between boxes and the size of the boxes so it should be easy to update and maintain.
Anyway, have fun! Awesome question by the way :-)

margin: 5px 0px;

</div>

Using jQuery you can toggle the class upon clicking with this:
$('.cell').click(function() { //catch clicks on .cell
$('.cell').removeClass('activeCell'); //remove class "activeCell" from all
$(this).addClass('activeCell'); //add class "activeCell" to .cell clicked
});
Apply position: relative; to .top and .bottom:
.top,
.bottom {
position: relative;
}
And use the psuedoclass :before to create a image under the .activeCell
.activeCell:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
bottom: -20px;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background-image: url("https://www.shareicon.net/data/512x512/2016/01/17/704754_people_512x512.png");
background-size: 20px 20px;
}
And remove this:
.walkingMan {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
display: inline-block
}
And this:
<img src="https://www.shareicon.net/data/512x512/2016/01/17/704754_people_512x512.png" alt="walkingMan" class='walkingMan'/>
And to add space between the divs .top and .bottom put a <br> between them.
$('.cell').click(function() {
$('.cell').removeClass('activeCell');
$(this).addClass('activeCell');
});
.cell {
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid black;
cursor: pointer;
}
.top,
.bottom {
position: relative;
}
.activeCell {
background-color: lightgrey;
}
.activeCell:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
bottom: -20px;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background-image: url("https://www.shareicon.net/data/512x512/2016/01/17/704754_people_512x512.png");

You can do something like this, using CSS only. With :target selector you can apply a style to the element you need to hide / show.
.container {
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
height: 200px;
}
.link {
display: block;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: #ccc;
}
.walking-man {
display: none;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
}
#p1:target {
display: block;
}
#p2:target {
display: block;
}
#p3:target {
display: block;
}
#p4:target {
display: block;
}
height: 90px;
float: left;
}
.walking-man img {
width: 100%;
}
.walkin-man:target {
display: block;
}
<div class="container">
<div id="p1" class="walking-man"></div>
</div>
<div class="container">
<div id="p2" class="walking-man"></div>
</div>
<div class="container">
<div id="p3" class="walking-man"></div>

Set width of child div in flex container

I have 4 divs with the class .piece-slide that horizontally scroll across the page within the the div #work, which is a flex element. Within the third .piece-slide div the 3 nested elements are absolutely positioned, this renders the width of the third .piece-slide div to 0, so now I want to programmatically set the width of the third .piece-slide div so that it covers the 3 nested elements.
For some reason I am unable to set this width through CSS. I have also tried through jQuery. It would be much appreciated if some pointed me in the right direction as how to rectify this. Here is a jsfiddle as well as the embedded code below.
$("#third-div").outerWidth("100vw");
#wrapper {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
height: 100vh;
}
.content {
flex: 1;
}
#work {
height: 100%;
overflow-x: scroll;
display: flex;
background-color: red;
}
.piece-slide {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
position: relative;
padding-right: 5em;
box-sizing: border-box;
border-right: 1px solid black;
}
.piece {
width: 25vw;
margin: 10px;
}
.piece img {
max-width: 100%;
}
#third-div {
/* D0ES NOT WORK */
width: 100vw;
background-color: green;
}
#third-div a {
position: absolute;
}
#third-div a:nth-child(1) {
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
#third-div a:nth-child(2) {
top: 25vw;

text over img hover with jquery

I'm a complete beginner at coding and I've already searched here but I couldn't really find a proper solution to my problem.
I'm trying to get a text to appear in place of the image when I hover over the image with the mouse.
Unfortunately jQuery has to be used, I know it can be done by just using CSS.
So far I have the following which I found on here:
In the head:
<script>
$(function(){
$('.parent').mouseenter(function(){
$(this).children('.child').fadeIn();
}).mouseleave(function(){
$(this).children('.child').fadeOut();
});
});
</script>
In the body:
<div class='parent'>
<img src='https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/cpsprodpb/37B5/production/_89716241_thinkstockphotos-523060154.jpg' alt='image'/>
<div class='child'>
<p>Random text.</p>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.parent
{
position:relative;
}
.child
{
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
background-color: black;
opacity: 0.5;
padding:10px;
display:none;
}
Thank you for an easy tip or explanation on what I'm doing wrong and how I can solve that problem.
Edit:
This is my full code in my PHP file:
echo "
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang=\"en\">
<head>
<meta charset=\"UTF-8\">
<title>Test Blog</title>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.gallery-item').hover(function() {
$(this).find('.img-title').fadeIn(300);
}, function() {
$(this).find('.img-title').fadeOut(100);
});
});
</script>
</head>

And there it continues with a dropdown menu routing to the other pages.
The CSS code is in my CSS file which I linked to above (the link is correct since all the other CSS code is working).

You have to define the size of the overly - I did that with the position settings below. Also, I erased the opacity setting. Not sure what else you want, but basically it works now.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.parent').mouseenter(function() {
$(this).children('.child').fadeIn();
}).mouseleave(function() {
$(this).children('.child').fadeOut();
});
});
.parent {
position: relative;
}
.child {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
background-color: black;
padding: 10px;
display: none;
}
.child p {
color: white;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 100px;
font-size: 30px;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div class='child'>

</div>
</div>

Hope it helps you out.

Click in a button overwritten by an image

In my HTML website I have a button, and I try add an transparent image over this button. And I can't click in this button after.
My problem is something like this:
#container {
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
position: relative;
}
#image {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
}
<div id="container">
<img id="image" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2d/SRU-Logo-Transparent.png" width="200px" ;height="200px" />
<a href="#">
Click here
</a>
</div>
Thanks very much for your help!

To fix this you can set the z-index of the image lower than the a element (which defaults to 0)
#container {
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
position: relative;
}
#image {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
z-index: -1;
}
<div id="container">
<img id="image" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2d/SRU-Logo-Transparent.png" width="200px" ;height="200px" />
<a href="#">

</a>
</div>
Alternatively you could use the image as a background on the container and avoid the need to position it absolutely, or have to change z-index at all.

you need to add a z-index to the button and give it position relative
.button {
z-index: 1;
position: relative;
}
Here is the code you need to use
html
<div id="container">
<img id="image" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2d/SRU-Logo-Transparent.png" width="200px";height="200px"/>
<a class="button" href="#">
Click here
</a>
css
#container
{
height:400px;
width:400px;
position:relative;
}
#image
{
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
}
.button {
z-index: 10;
position: relative;
}
See js fiddle here

You can alter width and height of image-container as you wish..
#container {
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
position: relative;
}
#image-container{
width:100%;
height:100%;
background-image: url("http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2d/SRU-Logo-Transparent.png");
background-position:center;
background-size:contain;
}

<div id="image-container">
