jQuery toggle div: have below content to slide "gently" - javascript

I use this script to toggle a div with an animation. It works like a charm, except that the content below the div to toggle moves jumpy when .click is triggered.
$('.toggle').click(function() {
var $toggled = $(this).attr('href');
$($toggled).siblings('.gallery:visible').hide();
$($toggled).toggle("slide", {direction: 'up'}, 750);
return false;
});
How can I have the content below to slide "gently" (as content of toggled div does)? Thanks in advance! :-)

I can't understand your call to .toggle with regards to the documentation. The order of parameters, their values, just don't match the documentation.
I have tried to use .slideToggle() - it works perfectly.

Try use thumbnails instead.
Use any program to change their size to the "slidedown" size. Change the <img> src to the thumbnail (smaller image) and change the <a> url to the actual size.
The website is loading the large size and then rezise them. This is my best guess why its feels laggy correct me if im wrong.
Good luck!
Hint: Try using a small image on every slot before you create thumbnails and see if it is actually causing the trouble.

Javascript Slide-In Onload

So I'm trying to have a div slide in on pageload. It has an id of "#crazyslide" and is absolutely positioned to the right -800px in the css.
So I used this code in the head:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#crazyslide").animate( { right: '0px' }, 2000 );
});
</script>
Shouldn't this work?
No, you can't hide it off the edge of the screen. Devices like mobiles will let people scroll past the edge and it will look bad.
I recommend using this example of hiding and showing it with javascript.
http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/tryit.asp?filename=tryjquery_hide_show
Yes it should. I just tested with your exact code, and it worked fine. There are ways to prevent a parent element from showing scroll bars for offscreen content.
Check to be sure your div is properly named: (console.log($("#crazyslide"));
Be sure a parent element's css isn't preventing the div from being
shown at all, such as a strange body width or something.
Be sure the div has content, and a set width.
*This turned out to be a load order issue where jquery was not yet defined when the animation code was called.

Why the image is broken occasionally with the hover

$(function () {
$(".btn").on("mouseover",function(){
$(this).attr("src", $(this).attr("src").replace("images", "images/hover"));
});
$(".btn").on("mouseleave",function(){
$(this).attr("src", $(this).attr("src").replace("images/hover", "images"));
});
});
The above code is the way I change the image when the user hover on the button, when user click on it , it will redirect to other page. And the Html element is like:
<img class="btn" src="images/index_03.gif" />
The problem is , I am sure the path is correct , but when the user click on the button , during the time of loading the next page or in some case, when i hover on the image , the hovered image is not shown but broken link, why is it and how to fix it? Thanks for helping
$(this).attr("src", $(this).attr("src").replace("images/hover", "images"));
This code will reload the image, every time (or from cache).
So, during the page loading as other data is also loading at the same time, onhover image loading will be slow or broken.
I suggest you should load both images at the same time and at the same position and show/hide them on hover to get faster results.
Using CSS sprites instead of javascript calls will eliminate mouseover flickering, and reduce the total number of http requests required for your site (making it load faster).
You can achieve the same 'mouseover' functionality by using the css ':hover' pseudo element to alter the 'clip' property of the image (supported in IE6 and above).

How can I make a DIV slide in and out?

I am currently learning jQuery. I'd like to know how to make an image slide in when you click on its edge, then click again and it slides away. Similar to this:
http://www.karenmillen.com/
If you see the right hand side and click, there is the effect that i'm looking for. I assume this will involve making a div and giving it a background image then using some jquery to make the div slide into view. Of course the div could have other content such as html. Any ideas?
Would the .slideDown() method work?
if you want a div to slideDown() first it has to hidden.
so use $("#div_Id").hide();
after that use $("#div_Id").slideDown('slow');
this will work
Check out slideToggle
Here's what i have so far:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.inner').hide();
$("button").click(function() {
$("#static_image").hide();
$('.inner').slideToggle(300);
});
});
So basically the animated div begins hidden. There's another div with a background image that is lined up to look as if the animated div is still sticking out a bit. Then clicking a button makes the static div dissapear and the animated div slide into view. However i'm not sure how to make the timing perfect so it's smooth and people won't know there are two divs. The animated div takes a fraction of a second to move up to where the div with the static image was, however the static images disappears immediately leaving a non-smooth animation.
One other thing, how do i get the static image div to return at the moment that the animated div moves back down after a user click? It can't be at the exact moment the user clicks 'retract' button else it'd definitely appear before it's supposed to.
In order to use the animate() function add a CSS class to the <div> tag that has a height attribute, it can either be in pixels or %, this will be the initial height. After that then you can use the animate().
$('#mydiv').animate({
height: 500px
}, 5000, function() {
// Animation complete.
});
This will slide the div to 500px, which will take 5 seconds.

How to keep div focus when the mouse enters a child node

So I have this page here:
http://www.eminentmedia.com/development/powercity/
As you can see when you mouse over the images the div slides up and down to show more information. Unfortunately I have 2 problems that i can't figure out and I've searched but haven't found quite the right answer through google and was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a tutorial.
The first problem is that when you mouse over an image it changes to color (loads a new image), but there's a short delay when the image is loading for the first time so the user sees white. Do I have to preload the images or something in order to fix that?
My second problem is that when you move your mouse over the 'additional content area' it goes crazy and starts going up and down a bunch of times. I just don't have any idea what would cause this but i hope one of you will!
All my code is directly in the source of that page if you would like to view the source.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Yes, you have to preload the images. Thankfully, this is simple:
var images_to_preload = ['myimage.jpg', 'myimage2.jpg', ...];
$.each(images_to_preload, function(i) {
$('<img/>').attr({src: images_to_preload[i]});
});
The other thing you have to understand is that when you use jQuery you have to truly embrace it or you will end up doing things the wrong way. For example, as soon as you find yourself repeating the same piece of code in different places, you are probably doing something wrong. Right now you have this all over the place:
<div id="service" onmouseover="javascript:mouseEnter(this.id);" onmouseout="javascript:mouseLeave(this.id);">
Get that out of your head. Now. Forever. Always. Inline javascript events are not proper, especially when you have a library like jQuery at your disposal. The proper way to do what you want is this:
$(function() {
$('div.box').hover(function() {
$(this).addClass('active');
$(this).find('div.slideup').slideDown('slow');
}, function() {
$(this).removeClass('active');
$(this).find('div.slideup').slideUp('slow');
});
});
(You have to give all the #industrial, #sustainable, etc elements a class of 'box' for the above to work)
These changes will also fix your sliding problem.
I can see your images (the ones that are changing) are set in the background of a div. Here is a jquery script that preloads every image found in a css file. I have had the same problem in the past and this script solves it. It is also very easy to use:
http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/update_automatically_preload_images_from_css_with_jquery/
I will take a look at your other problem...
1) You should be using the jquery events to drive your mouseovers. Give each div a class to indicate that its a category container and use the hover function to produce the mouseover/mouseout action you're after.
html
<div id="industrial" class="category"></div>
Javascript
$(".category").hover(
function () {
$(this).find('.container').show();
},
function () {
$(this).find('.container').hide();
}
);
I simplified the code to just do show and hide, you'll need to use your additional code to slide up and slide down.
2) Yes, you need to preload your images. Another option would be "sprite" the images. This would involve combining both the black and white and colour versions of each image into a single image. You then set it as the div's background image and simply use CSS to adjust the background-position offset. Essentially, sliding instantly from the black and white to colour images as you rollover. This technique guarentees that both images are fully loaded.

How to scroll to an element in jQuery?

I have done the following code in JavaScript to put focus on the particular element (branch1 is a element),
document.location.href="#branch1";
But as I am also using jQuery in my web app, so I want to do the above code in jQuery. I have tried but don't know why its not working,
$("#branch1").focus();
The above jquery (focus()) code is not working for div, whereas If i am trying the same code with textbox, then its working,
Please tell me, how can I put focus on a div elemnt using jQuery?
Thanks!
For my problem this code worked, I had to navigate to an anchor tag on page load :
$(window).scrollTop($('a#captchaAnchor').position().top);
For that matter you can use this on any element, not just an anchor tag.
Like #user293153 I only just discovered this question and it didn't seem to be answered correctly.
His answer was best. But you can also animate to the element as well.
$('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: $("#some_element").offset().top }, 500);
You can extend jQuery functionalities like this:
jQuery.fn.extend({
scrollToMe: function () {
var x = jQuery(this).offset().top - 100;
jQuery('html,body').animate({scrollTop: x}, 500);
}});
and then:
$('...').scrollToMe();
easy ;-)
Check jQuery.ScrollTo, I think that's the behavior that you want, check the demo.
Check out jquery-scrollintoview.
ScrollTo is fine, but oftentimes you just want to make sure a UI element is visible, not necessarily at the top. ScrollTo doesn't help you with this. From scrollintoview's README:
How does this plugin solve the user experience issue
This plugin scrolls a particular element into view similar to browser
built-in functionality (DOM's scrollIntoView() function), but works
differently (and arguably more user friendly):
it only scrolls to element when element is actually out of view; if element is in view (anywhere in visible document area), no scrolling
will be performed;
it scrolls using animation effects; when scrolling is performed users know exactly they're not redirected anywhere, but actually see
that they're simply moved somewhere else within the same page (as well
as in which direction they moved);
there's always the smallest amount of scrolling being applied; when element is above the visible document area it will be scrolled to the
top of visible area; when element is below the visible are it will be
scrolled to the bottom of visible area; this is the most consistent
way of scrolling - when scrolling would always be to top it sometimes
couldn't scroll an element to top when it was close to the bottom of
scrollable container (thus scrolling would be unpredictable);
when element's size exceeds the size of visible document area its top-left corner is the one that will be scrolled to;
Use
$(window).scrollTop()
It'll scroll the window to the item.
var scrollPos = $("#branch1").offset().top;
$(window).scrollTop(scrollPos);
If you're simply trying to scroll to the specified element, you can use the scrollIntoView method of the Element.
Here's an example :
$target.get(0).scrollIntoView();
I think you might be looking for an "anchor" given the example you have.
This link will jump to the anchor named jump
<a name="jump">This is where the link will jump to</a>
The focus jQuery method does something different from what you're trying to achieve.
For the focus() function to work on the element the div needs to have a tabindex attribute. This is probably not done by default on this type of element as it is not an input field. You can add a tabindex for example at -1 to prevent users who use tab to focus on it. If you use a positive tabindex users will be able to use tab to focus on the div element.
Here an example: http://jsfiddle.net/klodder/gFPQL/
However tabindex is not supported in Safari.
maybe you want to try this simple one
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".to-branch1").click(function() {
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#branch1").offset().top
}, 1500);
});
});
