I have a jsfiddle for this
Jsfiddle
The problem is, I am trying to create a script that ones a button is clicked flashes an image (car lights) on and off for a period of time. It works fine, but in IE8 since the lights are png the animation for it is causing a black background and border as it blinks on and off. So I trying to duplicate the same thing, but without using animation.
In my jsfiddle, the first function for the first click div represents what i am trying to do without animation, but it is not repeating. The code:
$('.oneD').click(function(){
for (var i = 0; i <= 9; i++) {
$('.oneP').show();
setTimeout(function(){
$('.oneP').hide();
}, 1000);
}
});
The 2nd function is the one I already created that does work, but it has the animation:
$('.twoD').click(function(){
for (var i = 0; i <= 9; i++) {
$(".twoP").fadeIn(1000, function () {
$(".twoP").hide();
});
}
});
Keep in mind that the jsfiddle is just a simple mock not using images. I am just looking for the functionality in which i can incorporate this. I appreciate your time in helping me with this.
instead of setTimeout() use setInterval() and clearInterval() like this:
$('.oneD').click(function(){
$('.oneP').show();
var interval = setInterval(function(){
$('.oneP').hide();
}, 1000);
//*after a number of time or loop
interval.clearInterval();
});
setInterval() "Loop" throught the function it is given every number of millisecond you pass it. and clearInterval() stop the "Loop".
I'd do it like this :
$('.oneD, .twoD').on('click', function(){
for (var i=0; i<9; i++)
$('.'+this.className.replace('D', 'P')).delay(1000).show(0)
.delay(1000).hide(0);
});
FIDDLE
This uses a selector for both elements and the same event handler, then swaps out the D for a P in the showing and hiding.
As for using delay() and making this work, hide() and show() will work just as the animated jQuery methods if a value for the duration is passed, even if that value is zero.
Fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/HxFpr/
var i;
$('.twoD').click(function(){
i = 0;
loopFlash();
});
function loopFlash(){
if(i < 10){ // flash 5 times (1 on 1 off = 2 cycles)
$('.twoP').toggle();
var flashing = setTimeout(loopFlash,500);
}
i++;
}
Yet another solution for you.
No Animation - with single interval
With animation - pure jQuery
http://jsfiddle.net/x6Kpv/6/
var noAnimationHandler = function() {
setInterval(function() {
var $el = $('.oneP');
$el[$el.is(":visible") ? "hide" : "show"]();
}, 800);
};
var animationHanddler = function() {
$('.twoP').fadeIn(300, function() {
$(this).delay(150).fadeOut(300, animationHanddler);
});
}
$('.oneD').click(noAnimationHandler);
$('.twoD').click(animationHanddler);
Thanks

I'm fairly new to jQuery and I'm currently working on a slideshow.
The slideshow consists of a number of headers that plays automatically and shows an image that belongs to a specific header. The moment you hover over a title as a user, the slideshow stops playing automaticly and you have the control over the view.
The problem I encounter is that sometimes after mouseout(); the slideshow shows the wrong image. I would like the slideshow to continue from where it left off.
I have tried several things including this example: Stop loop on hover
Which is basically what I am looking for. Unfortunately I'm not yet skilled enough to apply this myself in jQuery or understand this particular code. I know I have to keep track of the loop in some way...
All help and tips are welcome, thanks!
var autoPlay = 0;
$(function() {
myCarousel();
$(".indexTitle").mouseenter(pauseCarousel);
$(".indexTitle").mouseout(playCarousel);
});
function myCarousel() {
var x = $(".indexTitle");
var n = $(".indexImage");
for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
$(x[i]).removeClass("redStroke");
$(n[i]).removeClass("showIndexImage");
}
autoPlay++;
if (autoPlay > x.length && n.length) {
autoPlay = 1
}
$(x[autoPlay - 1]).addClass("redStroke");
$(n[autoPlay - 1]).addClass("showIndexImage");
myTimeOut = setTimeout(myCarousel, 2000); // Change image every 2.5 seconds
}
function pauseCarousel() {
console.log("Enter = Pause");
clearTimeout(myTimeOut);
$(".indexTitle").removeClass("redStroke");
$(".indexTitle").removeClass("showIndexImage");
};
function playCarousel() {
console.log("Exit = Play");
setTimeout(myTimeOut);
myCarousel();
};

I am currently modifying this piece of code as apart of a project, it works fine for what I need it to do, however I want a relatively short transition period,but the initial div element only display for a brief moment and the fade process starts.
I was wondering if anyone could help me to correct this. Ideally I would like to set the initial slider timeframe or delay it from triggering the process,
var divs = $('.fade');
function fade() {
var current = $('.current');
var currentIndex = divs.index(current),
nextIndex = currentIndex + 1;
if (nextIndex >= divs.length) {
nextIndex = 0;
}
var next = divs.eq(nextIndex);
current.stop().fadeOut(500, function() {
$(this).removeClass('current');
setTimeout(fade, 5000);
});
next.stop().fadeIn(500, function() {
$(this).addClass('current');
});
}
fade();
To delay the function fade() from starting right away just do:
var divs = $('.fade');
function fade() {
....
}
setTimeout(fade, 5000); //here is the only change
At the end of your code fade() is executed right away. Just add a timeout to it. 5000 is in milliseconds, just switch that to the delay time you want.
Apart from your question, if you wanted to apply the fade function to objects only after you clicked them, you could do this.
$('.fade').on('click',function(){//instead of click you could use any event ex. mouseover
fade();//call fade function
});
so I'm trying to create a simple slide show from scratch, and so far I was able to get full screen images to fade out and fade in infinetly, but for some odd reason using setInterval(function(){fade(var)}, 3500);didn't work, maybe someone can explain why the first and last images took way longer than 3,5 seconds to fade. Meanwhile, I was trying to solve that problem by implementing a callback function in the fade(). My example has four images, and they start fading out until it reaches image one, then don't fade out image one and start fading back in image two until image 4, and do this forever, here is my recent attempt to implement a callback function:
var i = 4;
$(document).ready(function(){
fade(i, fade);
});
var fadeIN = false;
function fade(objectID, callbackfn){
var fadeTime = 3500;
if(!fadeIN){
$("#slide-"+objectID).fadeOut(fadeTime);
i--;
if(i === 1) {
fadeIN = true;
}
}
else{
i++;
$("#slide-"+objectID).fadeIn(fadeTime);
if(i === 4){
fadeIN = false;
}
}
if(arguments[1]){
callbackfn(i);
}
}
But that is not working, it fades out image 4, image 3 and stops on image 2. Maybe there is a way to evenly time the fading transitions using the setIntervel(), if so can someone tell me how? Appreciate any help.
Here is a JSFiddle to the code: http://jsfiddle.net/8kgc0chq/ it is not working tho.
Here is the doc for .fadeOut()
There is an optional argument complete:
A function to call once the animation is complete.
Put the next animation in there, they too take a complete (callback) function.
$("#id").fadeOut(fadeTime, function() {
// code to execute after animation complete
});
You need to do it properly with javascript. Easy way fails after last element.
So here is my solution. Can it be improved further, I think yes.. But it does work now. And is future proof to some extent.
I cleaned up css and changed html structure a little.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/8kgc0chq/3/
$(document).ready(function () {
$(window).resize(function () {
realTimeHeight();
});
realTimeHeight();
startSlides();
});
function startSlides() {
var fadeTime = 1000,
delay = 1300,
i = 0,
slides = $("#hero-slider > .slide"),
len = slides.length;
slides.hide();
var pF = $('<div class="slide">'), pB = pF.clone();
pF.attr('id', slides.eq(i).attr('id'));
$('#hero-slider').prepend(pF).prepend(pB);
setInterval(fadeThisIn, fadeTime + delay);
function fadeThisIn() {
pB.attr('id', pF.attr('id'));
i = ++i % len;
pF.hide().attr('id', slides.eq(i).attr('id')).fadeIn(fadeTime);
}
}
function realTimeHeight() {
var altura = $(window).height();
$("#hero-slider").css("height", altura);
}
I'm trying to build a simple image slider (but using a fade effect). Every two seconds, the image should change to another image. At the end, it should call repeat_sponsor() again, to start over, so it becomes a loop.
I've written this (highly ineffective) code for 5 images. Turns out I'm going to need it for around 50 images. My editor just freezes when I add too much code.
I've tried using while-loops, but I just can't figure it out how to do this the right way.
Anyone who can help me with this?
function repeat_sponsor()
{
$("#sponsor2").hide();
$("#sponsor3").hide();
$("#sponsor4").hide();
$("#sponsor5").fadeOut("slow");
$("#sponsor1").fadeIn("slow", function() {
setTimeout(function(){$("#sponsor2").fadeIn("slow", function() {
setTimeout(function(){$("#sponsor3").fadeIn("slow", function() {
setTimeout(function(){$("#sponsor4").fadeIn("slow", function() {
setTimeout(function(){$("#sponsor5").fadeIn("slow", ...
(function (){
var cnt = 50; //set to the last one...
var max=50;
function show() {
$("#sponsor" + cnt).fadeOut("slow"); //if you want the fadeout to be done before showing next, put the following code in the complete callback
cnt++;
if(cnt>max) {
cnt=1;
}
$("#sponsor" + cnt).fadeIn("slow");
window.setTimeout(show, 2000);
}
show();
})();
But the real issue is the fact you are loading tons of images from the start. You will be better off changing it so you only have a small subset of images and change the source.
You should use some sort of for loop and a class for hiding the images. and add a max value that if checks out resets c & i
var i=0;
var c=1;
function repeat_sponsor()
{
$("#sponsor"+i).fadeOut("slow");
$(".sponsers").hide()
$("#sponsor"+c).fadeIn("slow", function() {
window.setTimeout(repeat_sponsor(), 3000);
}
i++;
c++;
}
Just run a function every two seconds with setInterval and appropriately target your different sponsor divs:
var i = 1;
var max = 50;
setInterval(function() {
// Could target all other sponsor images with a class "sponsor"
$('.sponsor').fadeOut();
// Execute code on the target
$("#sponsor" + i).fadeIn();
if (i === max) {
i = 0;
}
i++;
}, 2000);

In this example when you click run. The div is animated in after it got its 1000 hellos.
If i comment the for loop in the beginning out and comment in the other for loop the animation starts before the append is running.
But then the animation is not running smooth. Can you in some way make this happend or is it impossible in javascript.
I want it to load up the divDocument in the meantime it is animated in. I dont mean it should be live adding but I dont want it to mess upp the animation and I dont want to loose time by adding the 1000 records before the animation is started.
Hope that you understand my qustion.
If you're going to add 10000 elements in one go it will block any other activity until it has finished.
If you start the animation and then do the add, it's jerky because for a short while the system is busy adding the divs, and then suddenly it realises that it's running behind on the animation and it has to rush to catch up. Note that the animation does not get interleaved with the addition of the elements.
The best way to solve this is to add the elements in batches, using setTimeout to trigger the next batch each time.
The batching gives the background thread time to run any other events, such as the animation handlers.
See http://jsfiddle.net/alnitak/yETt3/ for a working demo using batching. The core of the sample is this:
var n = 0,
batch = 100;
function nextBatch() {
for (var i = 0; i < batch && n < 10000; ++i, ++n) {
$("#divDocument").append("<div>hello</div>");
}
if (n < 10000) {
setTimeout(nextBatch, 0);
}
}
setTimeout(nextBatch, 0);
which adds elements 100 at a time, with the setTimeout call allowing the event handling thread to jump in and process animations and other UI events.
For example you can use setTimeout
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".openWindow").click(function () {
setTimeout(function() {
var divToShow = $("#divDocument");
var windowWidth = $(window).width();
var leftOut = (windowWidth * -1);
var leftIn = windowWidth + 500;
divToShow.css({ left: leftIn });
divToShow.show();
divToShow.animate({ left: 0 }, 400, function () {
divToShow.addClass("visibleDiv");
});
}, 2000);
for (var i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
$("#divDocument").append("<div>hello</div>");
}
});
});
If you want to run animation after that elements was add you must create function for append elements and in end of this function call animation. If you want run this as async you must use setTimeout(func, 0) for animation and for elements add.
