Jumping element by element when scrolling

I have two divs with the total height of the viewport and a button for scrolling from one to another with ScrollTo jquery plugin. The problem is that I want to prevent the posibility of manual scroll.
I want that when someone scrolls with mouse down, the browser scroll automatically to the second view, and when I scroll to top gets the previous view.
I don't know if I'm explaining well, here an example: http://orangina.eu/heritage
Try to scroll in this webpage, this is what I need.
Thanks!

Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks to me like you're trying to disable the browsers default scrolling behaviour, attach events to scroll up and scroll down and scroll up or down to the height of the page's height.
The way I would do this is disable the browser's default scrolling behaviour with overflow:hidden to the body and html.
Then you can bind the jQuery "mousewheel" and "DOMMouseScroll" to the div checking for "event.originalEvent.detail > 0" or "e.originalEvent.wheelDelta < 0" for down scrolling or else for scrolling up.
Finally add your function call inside the if or else depending on the downscroll or upscroll.
I can write the code if you want but it might help you more if you try this yourself.

You can achieve that same effect by using fullPage.js plugin for jQuery.
Compatible with old browsers such as IE 8.
Touch devices compatible
CSS3 animations improving performance
Lots of options, callbacks and methods.

Thanks for all replies!
I solved my problem, instead of using standard scrolling I used the translateY css property. Setting a data-id to each page layer and doing translateY(100%, 200%, 300%...) every time I want to scroll down/up.

Preventing iPad top page drag

I'm trying for numerous days to solve the following issue.
I have a menu located on the top of the page which needed to be open using swipedown event (I'm using Hammer.js jQuery version).
Problem is, every time I try to interact using swipes I either scroll the page (swipeup) or pulling the page down same as described in the following question.
Here is what I've tried so far:
overflow: hidden; on the body element with an inner container with overflow: auto, swipe on top element still triggered document scroll.
Setting preventDefault on the document also disabled lower elements events in the DOM hierarchy and by that I had no swipe events working in the page.
Also tried using stopPropagation on the actual element when the event occurs, to prevent the bubbling up the chain for the event, the result cause the object to not respond to the events (swipes) and document scroll worked with no problems.
Any ideas how can I still keep page scroll but also when using common gestures, such as swipedown/swipeup, on specific elements that the element only will be affected?
Here is an example using JSFiddle, to better demonstrate the issue.
Would appreciate ideas/thoughts

I don't know if this will help, but I've always liked to use drag more than swipe. Using Hammer on my projects, swipes were a bit finicky. And from a UX standpoint, drag feels instantaneous vs a swipe. Much like, mousedown vs mouseup/click. So in instances where it's appropriate, and I believe in the case of showing swipey menu it is, I'd opt for drag.
Replacing your example with drag rather than swipe, and also using CSS transition, -webkit-transition, rather than jQuery's animate (drag will trigger like a mousemove, vs a click or a mouseup) seemed to make it work.
Hammer('.nav').on('dragdown', function(e){
e.gesture.preventDefault()
$(".blue").html("down")
$('.nav').css({"top":"0px"});
})
.on('dragup', function(e){
e.gesture.preventDefault()
$(".blue").html("dragup")
$('.nav').css({"top":"-150px"});
});
//Added in CSS, for .nav
.nav {-webkit-transition:0.5s top;}
Example
This does still have the page overscroll. A preventDefault() on document.ontouchstart would could fix that but that breaks scrolling. You might be able to do a selective preventDefault() by checking the scrollOffset perhaps. But I guess in the long run, I'd recommend something like iScroll.
Example
Also maybe tweak the hitbox for the drag to be a bit larger. Which I did in the last example. I attached the dragdown event on the document instead of the "menu" so the menu doesn't have to be visibly bigger.
Hammer(document).on("dragdown",function(e){
//calculate ratio of first touch from top
var pos=e.gesture.startEvent.center.pageY/window.innerHeight
if(pos<0.2){ //drag occurs in the first 20% of the screen
menu.style.marginTop="0px" //or animate here
e.gesture.preventDefault()
e.gesture.stopPropagation();
}
})

You should use the preventDefault function of the orginal gesture, to stop the browsers default behaviour, see here: https://github.com/EightMedia/hammer.js/wiki/Event-delegation-and-how-to-stopPropagation---preventDefaults
When you have a div element, on which you want to register swipe events, you would do the following:
$('#swipeDiv').hammer().on("swipe", function(ev) { ev.gesture.preventDefault(); });
That should prevent the scrolling of the page, but only if the swipe happens on the div element.

Twitter Bootstrap affix events not firing

I'm trying to affix a toolbar when the user scrolls passed it. The affix portion works fine however I want to adjust the padding on my main container when the affix class actually get applied. http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#affix-usage Has some events listed However; I can't get any of them to fire. The JSfiddle doesn't look right I'm guessing cuz of the size. But essentially none of those events get fired when the affix is applied to the #nav.
$('#nav').on('affix.bs.affix', function () {
alert('Fired!');
});
You can see more of my code here.. Its essentially just the navbar given in the BS example.
http://jsfiddle.net/dTR4A/1/

The affix.bs.affix event fires when the affixed element is scrolled so if you scroll the page:
This event fires immediately before the element has been affixed.
so make your page content higher.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/4vmMd/

Encountered a similar problem..
Turns out that it was older version of bootstrap. It worked just fine with newer version.
Also ensure that your content has enough height.

For future travelers falling into this issue, I was having the same issue but the above solutions did not work for me.
I found out that in a completely remote part of my application, we have:
$(window).unbind('scroll')
$(window).off('scroll')
Which was killing the handler for the scroll event (probably, the Affix library observes the $(window) element in order to fire the scrolling events).
Hope this helps.

Using jQuery UI Draggable, how to avoid drag when using scrollbar?

A long time ago I created a dialog box in my application. The dialog is pretty simple, position absolute, centered in the screen via javascript.
Now I have added jQuery UI to the application but I do not want to use jQuery UI's dialogs just because they work differently. But I did make my dialog draggable using jQuery UI as it is very easy:
$('#dialog').draggable();
There is one problem with that, some of my dialogs have scrollbars.
But using the draggable method, if there is a scrollbar, it bugs because it drags the dialog.
Is there a way for the dialog to not drag while using the scrollbar ?
I noticed there are some ways to avoid elements to be dragged, but scrollbars are not elements.
Thank you
EDIT: JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/FGXnR/

As a workaround, you could try using the handle option and only make the dialog draggable by the parts that aren't scrollable. (The title or some such.)
jsFiddle Example
Another solution that #AlexFigueiredo pointed out involves just wrapping the content / handle in a div that handles the sizing and scrolling – that seems stop the click event from being sent to the handle.

onscroll for div

Does a div element not have an onscroll event handler?
The behaviour on my page doesn't seem to indicate the div onscroll event handler is recognized.
<div id='bd' onscroll='alert("Scroll Called");'></div>
Also,
Do div scroll events roll up to window scroll events, as per DOM event bubbling ?

Depending on which version of HTML you're using, you could use the onwheel event, instead.
The onscroll event works only if all the following are true:
The div has overflow: auto, overflow: scroll, overflow-y: scroll, etc.
The div currently has a visible scrollbar that can scroll.
The mouse movement actually causes the scrollbar to scroll.
So the onscroll event is not really suited for detecting general mouse wheel movement.
Please note that the onwheel event is new in HTML 5. According to w3schools, it is pretty widely supported, though.

I scratched my head on this one too, until I started learning more about DOCTYPE directives. The onscroll attribute is not supported in most recent version of the HTML spec. It'll show as invalid syntax in Visual Studio. It might work in many browsers, but it's still invalid code.
Instead, you canan event using Javascript or jQuery. I use an approach like this to synchronize scrolling on two separate div's:
$("#gridTableContainer").scroll(function() {
HandlingScrollingStuff();
});

Yes but the element needs to have a scrollbar. You can give it one with either overflow: auto (which gives you a scrollbar when the content is tall enough) or overflow: scroll. (These can be set specifically for x & y as well overflow-y: scroll...)
Although they don't bubble once the div has been scrolled to the bottom the window will start scrolling. (Basically if the div can scroll it will intercept the scroll event, but if it can't then it will go to the page)

I know it may not be exactly what you're looking for, but a lot of javascript frameworks can help you with this. It is not necessary for the div to have a scrollbar for you to hook to the scroll events.
Eg. Mootools has the mousewheel event. Demo here. (It has scrollbars, but you can use Firebug to remove the scrollbars and try -- it still works).
I have used this myself on a site I made a while back. If you scroll while holding your mouse over the images it prevents the default page scrolling and instead slides the image-bar.

JQUERY scroll() can help you.
$("#gridTableContainer").scroll(function() {
HandlingScrollingStuff();
});
