This is my current solution to check if a specific div reaches the top of the page, which i got from here https://stackoverflow.com/a/5279537/4671165
document.addEventListener("scroll", Scroll, false);
function Scroll() {
var top = $('.element').offset().top - $(document).scrollTop();
if (top < 150){
var textvariable = $('.text').text();
}
}
But i want this to do something each time a different div reaches the top of the page, therefore i currently have
var top1 = $('.element1').offset().top - $(document).scrollTop();
var top2 = $('.element2').offset().top - $(document).scrollTop();
var top3 = $('.element3').offset().top - $(document).scrollTop();
if (top1 < 150 && top2 > 150){
var textvariable = $('.text1').text();
}
if (top1 < 150 && top2 < 150 && top3 > 250){
var textvariable = $(.text2').text();
}
if (top2 < 150 && top3 < 250){
var textvariable = $(.text3').text();
}
However, this doesn't seem the most effective way but i can't figure out what is. Especially since i have more elements then just 3 in the project. So i am looking for a more effective way.
I put this together using ES6. I believe this should work. It's been a while since I've used getBoundingClientRect() though.
var divs = document.querySelectAll('div');
document.addEventListener("scroll", Scroll, false);
function Scroll() {
divs.forEach((memo,index) => {
let divTop = memo.getBoundingClientRect().top;
if (divTop <= 0) {
var textvariable = $('.text' + index).text();
});
}
Hope this helps. It should be easier to use and it has a lot of bugs already fixed for you. It's a 1.82 kb file so there's not really much useless stuff into it if added.
I found a jquery solution
function ScrollStart() {
var scrolled = $(this).scrollTop();
/*filter current element at the top with a certain class & give it active class*/
$('.step').removeClass('activetext').filter(function() {
return scrolled <= $(this).offset().top + $(this).height() - 50 && scrolled >= $(this).offset().top - 50;
}).addClass('activetext');
/* make exclusion for first element */
var boven = $('.first').offset().top - $(document).scrollTop();
if (boven > 0){
$('.first').addClass('activetext');
}
/*make exclusion for last element*/
var bottom = $('.last').offset().top - ($('.last').height()/5) - $(document).scrollTop();
if (bottom < 150){
$('.step').removeClass('activetext')
$('.last').addClass('activetext');
}
else{
$('.last').removeClass('activetext')
}
/* give variable 'text' the text of the active class & append it */
var text = $('.activetext .headertekst').text();
$('.dropbtn').empty();
$('.dropbtn').append(text);
$('.dropbtn').append('<img src="images/downarrow.svg" galleryimg="no"></img>');
}
Ok so I have some sticky tabs that I am using to automatically pin to the top of the content area when scrolling so the user always knows that category they are in. You can see this here http://www.codeclimb.com/menus3/index2.html as you scroll the tab will stick the top. I am achieving this with the following javascript
function stickyTitles(stickies) {
this.load = function() {
stickies.each(function(){
var thisSticky = jQuery(this).wrap('<div class="followWrap" />');
thisSticky.parent().height(thisSticky.outerHeight());
jQuery.data(thisSticky[0], 'pos', thisSticky.offset().top);
});
}
this.scroll = function() {
stickies.each(function(i){
var thisSticky = jQuery(this),
nextSticky = stickies.eq(i+1),
prevSticky = stickies.eq(i-1),
pos = jQuery.data(thisSticky[0], 'pos');
if (pos <= jQuery(window).scrollTop()) {
thisSticky.addClass("fixed");
if (nextSticky.length > 0 && thisSticky.offset().top >= jQuery.data(nextSticky[0], 'pos') - thisSticky.outerHeight()) {
thisSticky.addClass("absolute").css("top", jQuery.data(nextSticky[0], 'pos') - thisSticky.outerHeight());
}
} else {
thisSticky.removeClass("fixed");
if (prevSticky.length > 0 && jQuery(window).scrollTop() <= jQuery.data(thisSticky[0], 'pos') - prevSticky.outerHeight()) {
prevSticky.removeClass("absolute").removeAttr("style");
}
}
});
}
}
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
var newStickies = new stickyTitles(jQuery(".followMeBar"));
newStickies.load();
jQuery(window).on("scroll", function() {
newStickies.scroll();
});
});
However you can see that this is designed to stick the tabs to the very top of the browser and not right below the header. Currently I have applied a margin-top to the CSS to make the followbar stick to the bottom of the div I want it to (the "now serving" section) but you can see that it takes longer for the title tab to snap to the next category because it is really doing it when it hits the top of the browser.
So as each time it passes the "now serving" section I want it to snap the tab there.
Any fix on how I can make it work to the div I want specifically?
You can accomplish this by accounting for the height of the header in the $(window).scroll event like so:
this.scroll = function() {
stickies.each(function(i){
var thisSticky = jQuery(this),
nextSticky = stickies.eq(i+1),
prevSticky = stickies.eq(i-1),
pos = jQuery.data(thisSticky[0], 'pos');
if (pos - 120 <= jQuery(window).scrollTop()) {
//**120px is the height of the header
thisSticky.addClass("fixed");
if (nextSticky.length > 0 && thisSticky.offset().top - 120 >= jQuery.data(nextSticky[0], 'pos') - thisSticky.outerHeight()) {
thisSticky.addClass("absolute").css("top", jQuery.data(nextSticky[0], 'pos') - thisSticky.outerHeight() - 120);
}
} else {
thisSticky.removeClass("fixed");
if (prevSticky.length > 0 && jQuery(window).scrollTop() <= jQuery.data(thisSticky[0], 'pos') - prevSticky.outerHeight()) {
prevSticky.removeClass("absolute").removeAttr("style");
}
}
});
}
P.S. When can I buy a chicken kabob drink? :)
I would change the line:
if (pos <= jQuery(window).scrollTop())
To something like this:
if (pos <= jQuery(window).scrollTop() + offset)
Where offset is equal to the height of the header.
I have a survey page divided into sections. As the user scrolls, each section's header sticks to the top of the screen until the next section is reached. I was able to do it for the first and second section but I am not sure how to do it for the third one. There must be a better way to do this.
Here is my code and a jsfiddle
Thank you
var s = $("#block2 .question-title-block");
var pos = s.position();
$(window).scroll(function() {
var windowpos = $(window).scrollTop();
if ($(this).scrollTop() > 404) {
$('#block1 .question-title-block').addClass("sticky");
if (windowpos >= pos.top) {
$('#block2 .question-title-block').addClass("sticky");
$('#block1 .question-title-block').removeClass("sticky");
}
else{
$('#block2 .question-title-block').removeClass("sticky");
}
}
else{
$('#block1 .question-title-block').removeClass("sticky");
$('#block2 .question-title-block').removeClass("sticky");
}
})
If you want it to be applied to as many elements as you want, don't use them individually, use their class. Here is what you can do:
var titleBlocks = $(".question-title-block");
$(window).scroll(function() {
var windowpos = $(window).scrollTop();
titleBlocks.each(function(){
$(this).toggleClass('sticky', $(this).parent().offset().top <= windowpos);
});
});
JS Fiddle Demo
try this (allows for any number of question blocks):
var containers = $('.question-block-container');
$(window).scroll(function () {
var windowpos = $(window).scrollTop();
containers.each(function () {
var container = $(this),
title = container.find('.question-title'),
contOffsetTop = container.offset().top,
conOffsetBottom = contOffsetTop + container.outerHeight() + 60; // 60 is margin bottom
if (windowpos >= contOffsetTop && windowpos <= conOffsetBottom) {
if (!title.hasClass("sticky")) {
title.addClass("sticky");
}
} else if (title.hasClass("sticky")) {
title.removeClass("sticky");
}
});
});
Example
I'm trying to get this div to stop at the bottom but for some reason once it reaches the bottom it starts jumping around.
Any ideas? It seems like even when bottom_offset < 181 it still keeps changing the css top property.
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var el = jQuery('#contactBox');
top_offset = jQuery('#contactBox').offset().top - 60;
var box_height = el.height();
jQuery(window).scroll(function() {
var scroll_top = jQuery(window).scrollTop();
var bottom_offset = jQuery(document).height() - scroll_top - box_height;
var new_top_offset = jQuery(document).height() - box_height - 100;
if ((scroll_top > top_offset) && (bottom_offset > 180)) {
el.css('top', scroll_top - top_offset);
}
else if ((scroll_top > top_offset) && (bottom_offset < 181)) {
el.css('top', new_top_offset);
}
else {
el.css('top', '');
}
});
});
</script>
Not sure how the html and css is setup so I'm taking a guess.
If the div has a fixed position, you can remove the following code and it should stop at the bottom.
The new_top_offset made the div jump down when i scrolled near the bottom.
else if ((scroll_top > top_offset) && (bottom_offset < 181)) {
el.css('top', new_top_offset);
}
else {
el.css('top', '');
Well I went ahead and changed it so that it worked a bit differently. It would just calculate body height minus footer height and also do scroll top + height of the scrolling div, and then it only changes css if total_height < body_height.
Here's the code if anyone needs it in the future.
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var el = jQuery('#contactBox');
top_offset = jQuery('#contactBox').offset().top - 60;
var box_height = el.height();
jQuery(window).scroll(function() {
var scroll_top = jQuery(window).scrollTop();
var total_height = scroll_top + box_height;
var body_height = jQuery('body').outerHeight() - 150;
if ((scroll_top > top_offset) && (total_height < body_height)) {
el.css('top', scroll_top - top_offset);
}
});
});
how to determine, using jquery, if the element is visible on the current page view. I'd like to add a comment functionality, which works like in facebook, where you only scroll to element if it's not currently visible. By visible, I mean that it is not in the current page view, but you can scroll to the element.
Live Demo
Basically you just check the position of the element to see if its within the windows viewport.
function checkIfInView(element){
var offset = element.offset().top - $(window).scrollTop();
if(offset > window.innerHeight){
// Not in view so scroll to it
$('html,body').animate({scrollTop: offset}, 1000);
return false;
}
return true;
}
Improving Loktar's answer, fixing the following:
Scroll up
Scroll to a display:none element (like hidden div's etc)
function scrollToView(element){
var offset = element.offset().top;
if(!element.is(":visible")) {
element.css({"visibility":"hidden"}).show();
var offset = element.offset().top;
element.css({"visibility":"", "display":""});
}
var visible_area_start = $(window).scrollTop();
var visible_area_end = visible_area_start + window.innerHeight;
if(offset < visible_area_start || offset > visible_area_end){
// Not in view so scroll to it
$('html,body').animate({scrollTop: offset - window.innerHeight/3}, 1000);
return false;
}
return true;
}
After trying all these solutions and many more besides, none of them satisfied my requirement for running old web portal software (10 years old) inside IE11 (in some compatibility mode). They all failed to correctly determine if the element was visible. However I found this solution. I hope it helps.
function scrollIntoViewIfOutOfView(el) {
var topOfPage = window.pageYOffset || document.documentElement.scrollTop || document.body.scrollTop;
var heightOfPage = window.innerHeight || document.documentElement.clientHeight || document.body.clientHeight;
var elY = 0;
var elH = 0;
if (document.layers) { // NS4
elY = el.y;
elH = el.height;
}
else {
for(var p=el; p&&p.tagName!='BODY'; p=p.offsetParent){
elY += p.offsetTop;
}
elH = el.offsetHeight;
}
if ((topOfPage + heightOfPage) < (elY + elH)) {
el.scrollIntoView(false);
}
else if (elY < topOfPage) {
el.scrollIntoView(true);
}
}
I made a slightly more generic version of digitalPBK's answer that minimally scrolls an element contained within a div or some other container (including the body). You can pass DOM elements or selectors to the function, as long as the element is somehow contained within the parent.
function scrollToView(element, parent) {
element = $(element);
parent = $(parent);
var offset = element.offset().top + parent.scrollTop();
var height = element.innerHeight();
var offset_end = offset + height;
if (!element.is(":visible")) {
element.css({"visibility":"hidden"}).show();
var offset = element.offset().top;
element.css({"visibility":"", "display":""});
}
var visible_area_start = parent.scrollTop();
var visible_area_end = visible_area_start + parent.innerHeight();
if (offset-height < visible_area_start) {
parent.animate({scrollTop: offset-height}, 600);
return false;
} else if (offset_end > visible_area_end) {
parent.animate({scrollTop: parent.scrollTop()+ offset_end - visible_area_end }, 600);
return false;
}
return true;
}
You can take a look at his awesome link from the jQuery Cookbook:
Determining Whether an Element Is Within the Viewport
Test if Element is contained in the Viewport
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var viewportWidth = jQuery(window).width(),
viewportHeight = jQuery(window).height(),
documentScrollTop = jQuery(document).scrollTop(),
documentScrollLeft = jQuery(document).scrollLeft(),
$myElement = jQuery('#myElement'),
elementOffset = $myElement.offset(),
elementHeight = $myElement.height(),
elementWidth = $myElement.width(),
minTop = documentScrollTop,
maxTop = documentScrollTop + viewportHeight,
minLeft = documentScrollLeft,
maxLeft = documentScrollLeft + viewportWidth;
if (
(elementOffset.top > minTop && elementOffset.top + elementHeight < maxTop) &&
(elementOffset.left > minLeft && elementOffset.left + elementWidth < maxLeft)
) {
alert('entire element is visible');
} else {
alert('entire element is not visible');
}
});
Test how much of the element is visible
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var viewportWidth = jQuery(window).width(),
viewportHeight = jQuery(window).height(),
documentScrollTop = jQuery(document).scrollTop(),
documentScrollLeft = jQuery(document).scrollLeft(),
$myElement = jQuery('#myElement'),
verticalVisible, horizontalVisible,
elementOffset = $myElement.offset(),
elementHeight = $myElement.height(),
elementWidth = $myElement.width(),
minTop = documentScrollTop,
maxTop = documentScrollTop + viewportHeight,
minLeft = documentScrollLeft,
maxLeft = documentScrollLeft + viewportWidth;
function scrollToPosition(position) {
jQuery('html,body').animate({
scrollTop : position.top,
scrollLeft : position.left
}, 300);
}
if (
((elementOffset.top > minTop && elementOffset.top < maxTop) ||
(elementOffset.top + elementHeight > minTop && elementOffset.top +
elementHeight < maxTop))
&& ((elementOffset.left > minLeft && elementOffset.left < maxLeft) ||
(elementOffset.left + elementWidth > minLeft && elementOffset.left +
elementWidth < maxLeft)))
{
alert('some portion of the element is visible');
if (elementOffset.top >= minTop && elementOffset.top + elementHeight
<= maxTop) {
verticalVisible = elementHeight;
} else if (elementOffset.top < minTop) {
verticalVisible = elementHeight - (minTop - elementOffset.top);
} else {
verticalVisible = maxTop - elementOffset.top;
}
if (elementOffset.left >= minLeft && elementOffset.left + elementWidth
<= maxLeft) {
horizontalVisible = elementWidth;
} else if (elementOffset.left < minLeft) {
horizontalVisible = elementWidth - (minLeft - elementOffset.left);
} else {
horizontalVisible = maxLeft - elementOffset.left;
}
var percentVerticalVisible = (verticalVisible / elementHeight) * 100;
var percentHorizontalVisible = (horizontalVisible / elementWidth) * 100;
if (percentVerticalVisible < 50 || percentHorizontalVisible < 50) {
alert('less than 50% of element visible; scrolling');
scrollToPosition(elementOffset);
} else {
alert('enough of the element is visible that there is no need to scroll');
}
} else {
// element is not visible; scroll to it
alert('element is not visible; scrolling');
scrollToPosition(elementOffset);
}
The following code helped me achieve the result
function scroll_to_element_if_not_inside_view(element){
if($(window).scrollTop() > element.offset().top){
$('html, body').animate( { scrollTop: element.offset().top }, {duration: 400 } );
}
}
Here is the solution I came up with, working both up and down and using only Vanilla Javascript, no jQuery.
function scrollToIfNotVisible(element) {
const rect = element.getBoundingClientRect();
// Eventually an offset corresponding to the height of a fixed navbar for example.
const offset = 70;
let scroll = false;
if (rect.top < offset) {
scroll = true;
}
if (rect.top > window.innerHeight) {
scroll = true;
}
if (scroll) {
window.scrollTo({
top: (window.scrollY + rect.top) - offset,
behavior: 'smooth'
})
}
}
There is a jQuery plugin which allows us to quickly check if a whole element (or also only part of it) is within the browsers visual viewport regardless of the window scroll position. You need to download it from its GitHub repository:
Suppose to have the following HTML and you want to alert when footer is visible:
<section id="container">
<aside id="sidebar">
<p>
Scroll up and down to alert the footer visibility by color:
</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="blue">Blue</span> = footer <u>not visible</u>;</li>
<li><span class="yellow">Yellow</span> = footer <u>visible</u>;</li>
</ul>
<span id="alert"></span>
</aside>
<section id="main_content"></section>
</section>
<footer id="page_footer"></footer>
So, add the plugin before the close of body tag:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.12.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery_visible/examples/js/jq.visible.js"></script>
After that you can use it in a simple way like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery( document ).ready(function ( $ ) {
if ($("footer#page_footer").visible(true, false, "both")) {
$("#main_content").css({"background-color":"#ffeb3b"});
$("span#alert").html("Footer visible");
} else {
$("#main_content").css({"background-color":"#4aafba"});
$("span#alert").html("Footer not visible");
}
$(window).scroll(function() {
if ($("footer#page_footer").visible(true, false, "both")) {
$("#main_content").css({"background-color":"#ffeb3b"});
$("span#alert").html("Footer visible");
} else {
$("#main_content").css({"background-color":"#4aafba"});
$("span#alert").html("Footer not visible");
}
});
});
</script>
Here a demo
No-JQuery version.
The particular case here is where the scroll container is the body (TBODY, table.body) of a TABLE (scrolling independently of THEAD). But it could be adapted to any situation, some simpler.
const row = table.body.children[ ... ];
...
const bottomOfRow = row.offsetHeight + row.offsetTop ;
// if the bottom of the row is in the viewport...
if( bottomOfRow - table.body.scrollTop < table.body.clientHeight ){
// ... if the top of the row is in the viewport
if( row.offsetTop - table.body.scrollTop > 0 ){
console.log( 'row is entirely visible' );
}
else if( row.offsetTop - table.body.scrollTop + row.offsetHeight > 0 ){
console.log( 'row is partly visible at top')
row.scrollIntoView();
}
else {
console.log( 'top of row out of view above viewport')
row.scrollIntoView();
}
}
else if( row.offsetTop - table.body.scrollTop < table.body.clientHeight ){
console.log( 'row is partly visible at bottom')
row.scrollIntoView();
}
else {
console.log( 'row is out of view beneath viewport')
row.scrollIntoView();
}
I think this is the complete answer. An elevator must be able to go both up and down ;)
function ensureVisible(elementId, top = 0 /* set to "top-nav" Height (if you have)*/) {
let elem = $('#elementId');
if (elem) {
let offset = elem.offset().top - $(window).scrollTop();
if (offset > window.innerHeight) { // Not in view
$('html,body').animate({ scrollTop: offset + top }, 1000);
} else if (offset < top) { // Should go to top
$('html,body').animate({ scrollTop: $(window).scrollTop() - (top - offset) }, 1000);
}
}
}
