how to get a timeline hover animation to stop when a certain id is visible?

I am busy working on a timeline, the basic left right function of it works
the current issue I am having is that the hover function moves the timeline further than I need. I had an idea to stop the animation when the last li (#last) is visible and vise versa when the first li (#first) is visible. I think that my implementation of the jQuery might be wrong and would appreciate your assistance please. See below a JSFIDDLE and the jQuery code.
JSFIDDLE: http://jsfiddle.net/Jason1975/6nwkd2c8/84/
$(document).ready(function(){
if ($("li#last:visible")) {
stop();
} else {
$("a#next").click(function () {
$("#new").animate({
"left": "-=100px"
}, 200);
});
}
if ($("li#first:visible")) {
stop();
} else {
$("a#prev").hover(function () {
$("#new").animate({
"left": "+=100px"
}, 200);
});
}
});

There were a few things I had to change. First was your markup never had a positioning that was able to be moved. So I added position:relative; to #new.
<ul id="new" style="width: 1025px; position:relative;">
Note I also removed the translate property as you were using jQuery's animate, and translate is for CSS3 animations.
I also changed the hover functions to this:
var containerWidth = $('#container').width();
$('a#next').hover(function(){
$("#new").animate({
"left": -Math.abs(containerWidth) - 150
}, 1000);
}, function(){
$("#new").stop();
});
$('a#prev').hover(function(){
$("#new").animate({
"left": 50
}, 1000);
}, function(){
$("#new").stop();
});
And added it inside your document.ready function. I hope this helps!
Here is a working DEMO.

jQuery animate back when clicked anywhere on the page

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function (){
$(".links").click(function(){
$('.slider').stop(true,false).animate({right: "0" }, 800, 'easeOutQuint' ); },
function(){
$(".slider").stop(true,false).animate({right: "-200" }, 800, 'easeInQuint' ); },1000);
});
</script>
I am building a little slider on my website. The slider position is right: -200. It slides to position right:0 I want to animate it back to position right: -200 after clicking anywhere else on the page.
I tried all the ways which failed. toggle(slide) works good but doesn't looks good.

well, here you go
$(document).click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
if($(e.target).closest("your_slider_selector").length) return;
//here you can do what you want
});

Bind click on all document, stop current animation, run new animation.
$(document).click(function () {
$('.slider').stop(true).animate({right: -200}, 500);
});

Store the CSS value in a variable before you animate the slider:
var right = $('.slider').css("right");
And then you can just use the variable:
$('.slider').stop(true).animate({right: right}, 800);

Increment background-position-x using jQuery animate?

Is it possible to animate a DIVs background-position-x using jQuery animate?
Ideally, the background-position-x will increment 20% when clicked.
Here is my code so far:
$('.cycle').click(function() {
$(this).animate({ 'background-position-x': '+20%' }, 500, 'linear');
});
But it only works for the first click.
Thanks!

Try this
$('.cycle').on('click', function() {
$(this).animate({ 'background-position-x': '+=20%' }, 500, 'linear');
});

use something like this:
$(function() {
$('.element').css("backgroundPosition","0px 0px").animate({"backgroundPosition":"-200px 10px"});
});

Make a DIV reveal upwards onClick

I found a topic for revealing a DIV upwards but as I am no Javascript expert, I am wondering how I can make this work onClick rather than on hover?
Just in case this helps, the link to previous topic is: How to make jQuery animate upwards
Any help is appreciated.

Here is a sample demo
$("#slideToggle").click(function () {
$('.slideTogglebox').slideToggle();
});
$("#reset").click(function(){
location.reload();
});
​
HTML:
<button id=slideToggle>slide</button>
<br/>
<div class="slideTogglebox">
slideToggle()
</div>

$(document).ready(function() {
var isClicked = false; //assuming its closed but its just logic
$('.button').click(function() {
if (isClicked) {
isClicked = true;
$(this).closest('div').animate({
height: "150px",
}, 400, "swing");
}
else
{
isClicked = false;
$(this).closest('div').animate({
height: "50px",
}, 400, "swing");
}
});
});
This is pretty bad way of doing it any way. You should consider trying to use CSS3 instead and then jsut using jQueries toggleClass
.toggleClass('animateUpwards)
Lets the browser use hardware capabilities to animate all the stuff and also its a nice one liner in JavaScript.

Try jQuery slideUp or as posted elsewhere jQuery slideToggle - Alternatively CSS3 Example
or from the questions you posted, perhaps this is what you meant:
http://jsbin.com/ogaje
Clicking the (visible part of) the div
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.featureBox').toggle(function() {
$(this).animate({top: '-390px', height:'540px'},{duration:'slow', queue:'no'});
// or $(this).slideUp()
},
function() {
$(this).animate({top: '0px', height:'150px'},{duration:'slow', queue:'no'});
// or $(this).slideDown()
});
});
Clicking something else
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#button").toggle(function() {
$("#someDiv").animate({top: '-390px', height:'540px'},{duration:'slow', queue:'no'});
// or $("#someDiv").slideUp()
},
function() {
$("#someDiv").animate({top: '0px', height:'150px'},{duration:'slow', queue:'no'});
// or $("#someDiv").slideDown()
});
});

Javascript glow/pulsate effect to stop on click

I have the following Javascript to make a text link glow/pulsate continuously. This link reveals another section of the same page so I would like it to stop once the user has clicked on it.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
function pulsate() {
$(".pulsate").animate({opacity: 0.2}, 1200, 'linear')
.animate({opacity: 1}, 1200, 'linear', pulsate);
}
pulsate();
});
</script>
So basically, I just need to know what I need to add here so that the effect stops once it has been clicked.
If the same link is clicked again, the revealed section of the page will hide - is it too much trouble to make the effect start again after a second click?
I look forward to an answer from you good people.
Scott.

Simply bind to the click event and call stop(). You should also ensure that the opacity has been restored to 1:
$(document).ready(function() {
function pulsate() {
$(".pulsate").animate({ opacity: 0.2 }, 1200, 'linear')
.animate({ opacity: 1 }, 1200, 'linear', pulsate)
.click(function() {
//Restore opacity to 1
$(this).animate({ opacity: 1 }, 1200, 'linear');
//Stop all animations
$(this).stop();
});
}
pulsate();
});
Here's a working jsFiddle.

The solution is pretty simple. Have your pulsate() function make sure that .pulsate doesn't have the class stop before doing its thing. If it does have that class, then the pulsate() function will simply animate the link back to full opacity, but not continue the pulsating.
James' example works as well, but I prefer my approach because his way binds the click event to .pulsate over and over again. This kind of thing may cause problems depending on what the rest of your page is doing.
Live example: http://jsfiddle.net/2f9ZU/
function pulsate() {
var pulser = $(".pulsate");
if(!pulser.hasClass('stop')){
pulser.animate({opacity: 0.2}, 1200, 'linear')
.animate({opacity: 1}, 1200, 'linear', pulsate);
}else{
pulser.animate({opacity:1},1200)
.removeClass('stop');
}
}
$(document).ready(function() {
pulsate();
$('a').click(function(){
$('.pulsate').addClass('stop');
});
});
