How to move DIV pixel by pixel - javascript

I have a DIV setup like this.
<div id="parent" class="parent">
<div id="child" class="child">
</div>
</div>
Styles
<style>
.parent{
float:left; height:300; width:300px; background-color:#00ff00;
}
.child{
float:left; height:60; width:60px; background-color:#00ff00;
}
</style>
<script>
function move(){
while(m < 100){
document.getElementByid('child').style.marginTop = m;
m = m+1;
}
}
move();
</script>
I want to move inner DIV ( named child) pixel by pixel from top to bottom by 100 pixels.
I think it can be done using style.marginTop = '' and settimeout() function
But still not able to get this working.

Here is how you can animate your div with vanilla JavaScript: http://jsfiddle.net/z6F7m/1/
JavaScript
var elem = document.getElementById('animated'),
top = parseInt(elem.style.marginTop, 10) || 0,
step = 1;
function animate() {
if (top < 100) {
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
elem.style.marginTop = top + 'px';
top += step;
}
}
animate();
I highly recommend you to use requestAnimationFrame instead of setTimeout, if the browser does not supports requestAnimationFrame you can fallback to setTimeout.

Try this
var element = document.getElementById('child');
for (var i=0; i != 100; i++){
element.style.marginTop += 1;
}
That'll loop 100 times and add 1 to the marginTop each loop.
I'd suggest using jQuery thought, because with jQuery you can simply do
$("#child").animate({ marginTop: 100 });
EDIT
Top example doesn't make sense, try this.
var element = document.getElementById('animated');
for (var i = 0; i != 100; i++) {
currentTop = parseInt(element.style.marginTop) || 0;
newTop = parseInt(currentTop + 1);
element.style.marginTop = newTop + "px";
}
This is also stupid because it loops way to fast and by the time the browser renders the box, it's already 100px from the top. See here
Again, go with the jQuery solution.

One way of doing it is using jQuery's animate function, which would require merely writing:
$(element).animate({ 'top': '100px' });
Example

Check the following fiddle. I did it without jquery.
var step = 0;
window.setInterval(function(){
var value = (++step)*100;
if (value<300)
document.getElementById("child").style.marginTop=value+"px";
else
step = -1;
},1000);

Scroll background-image / performance

I use the following Javascript to animate my body background-image (it's a pattern):
$(document).ready(function(){
var step = 1;
var current = 0;
function scrollBG(){
current += step;
if (current == 450){ current = 0; }
$('.pattern').css('background-position','center '+current+'px');
};
setInterval(scrollBG, 100);
});
It works fine but it causes heavy CPU load.
Any suggestions?
Thanks :)

Moving a div right animation not working

I am trying implement a small animation on a div. Whenever we click on the div it has to move right. I wrote some code but it is not working. Could anyone please help me?
here is my code
<style type="text/css">
#animDiv
{
background-color:#6F0;
width:87px;
height:39px;
left:10px;
}
</style>
<script>
function $(id)
{
return document.getElementById(id);
}
function moveRight()
{
var elem = $("animDiv");
//var divPos = parseInt($("animDiv").style.left);
var divPos = $("animDiv").offsetLeft;
var divWid = $("animDiv").offsetWidth;
if(divPos+divWid < 700)
{
$("animDiv").style.left = $("animDiv").style.left+100+"px";
}
}
</script>
<body>
<div id="animDiv" onclick="moveLeft()">
</div>
</body>
try replacing this code
<div id="animDiv" onclick="moveLeft()">
with this code
<div id="animDiv" onclick="moveRight()">
and add style position:fixed; to your css.
There are several issues in your code:
You are calling the wrong function. It is declared moveRight()
You are attempting to change the left property which will have no affect on elements that are positioned statically.
The element will only nudge right one time. After that the value for your left property is something like 100px100px.
How is this:
function moveRight() {
var elem = $("animDiv");
//var divPos = parseInt($("animDiv").style.left);
var divPos = $("animDiv").offsetLeft;
var divWid = $("animDiv").offsetWidth;
if (divPos + divWid < 700) {
var curLeft = Number($("animDiv").style.left.replace("px", ""));
$("animDiv").style.left = (curLeft + 100) + "px";
}
}

Displaying images like Google Image Search

Does anybody know of a script that will let me diplay image results in the way that Google Image Search does (image grid view) with hover to enlarge and details? Something that I can just "plug-and-play" so to speak.
Have a look at Masonry http://masonry.desandro.com/
First, you need to put all images inside a container element:
<div class="parent">
<img src="">
<img src="">
<img src="">
</div>
Then you need to make sure that the images are displayed in one line. This can be done by e.g. float: left. You should also set vertical-align to remove the small gap underneath each image:
img {
float: left;
vertical-align: top;
}
Finally you need some JavaScript to loop through all images and calculate the ideal rowHeight based on their dimensions. The only thing you need to tell this algorithm is the maximum row height that you want (rowMaxHeight)
// Since we need to get the image width and height, this code should run after the images are loaded
var elContainer = document.querySelector('.parent');
var elItems = document.querySelector('.parent img');
var rowMaxHeight = 250; // maximum row height
var rowMaxWidth = elContainer.clientWidth;
var rowWidth = 0;
var rowRatio = 0;
var rowHeight = 0;
var rowFirstItem = 0;
var rowIsLast = false;
var itemWidth = 0;
var itemHeight = 0;
// Make grid
for (var i = 0; i < elItems.length; i++) {
itemWidth = elItems[i].clientWidth;
itemHeight = elItems[i].clientHeight;
rowWidth += itemWidth;
rowIsLast = i === elItems.length - 1;
// Check if current item is last item in row
if (rowWidth + rowGutterWidth >= gridWidth || rowIsLast) {
rowRatio = Math.min(rowMaxWidth / rowWidth, 1);
rowHeight = Math.floor(rowRatio * rowMaxHeight);
// Now that we know the perfect row height, we just
// have to loop through all items in the row and set
// width and height
for (var x = rowFirstItem; x <= i; x++) {
elItems[i].style.width = Math.floor(rowRatio * itemWidth * (rowMaxHeight/itemHeight)) + 'px';
elItems[i].style.height = rowHeight + 'px';
}
// Reset row variables for next row
rowWidth = 0;
rowFirstItem = i + 1;
}
}
Note that this code is not tested and a very simplified version of what this vanilla JavaScript plugin does: https://fld-grd.js.org
Two solutions that I have found so far.

codrops actually puts the photo enlargement/details inline instead of as a modal overlay:

Check out this jQuery Plugin: https://github.com/brunjo/rowGrid.js
It places images like on the Google image search.
Simply just repeat your images like this:
<img style="float: left; height: 12em; margin-right: 1%; margin-bottom: 0.5em;border:1px solid lightgray" src="ImgSrc " />

Font size auto adjust to fit

I'm trying to do what the title says. I've seen that font-size can be a percentage. So my guess was that font-size: 100%; would do it, but no.
Here is an example: http://jsfiddle.net/xVB3t/
Can I get some help please?
(If is necesary to do it programatically with js there is no problem)
This question might help you out but I warn you though this solves it through jQuery:
Auto-size dynamic text to fill fixed size container
Good luck.
The OP of that question made a plugin, here is the link to it (& download)
BTW I'm suggesting jQuery because as Gaby pointed out this can't be done though CSS only and you said you were willing to use js...
Can't be done with CSS.
100% is in relation to the computed font-size of the parent element.
reference: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/fonts.html#font-size-props
For a jQuery solution look at Auto-size dynamic text to fill fixed size container
I was looking into this for work and I liked tnt-rox's answer, but I couldn't help but notice that it had some extra overhead that could be cut out.
document.body.setScaledFont = function(){
this.style.fontSize = (this.offsetWidth*0.35)+'%';
return this;
}
document.body.setScaledFont();
Cutting out the overhead makes it run a little bit quicker if you add it to an onresize event.
If you are only looking to have the font inside a specific element set to resize to fit, you could also do something like the following
window.onload = function(){
var scaledFont = function(el){
if(el.style !== undefined){
el.style.fontSize = (el.offsetWidth*0.35)+'%';
}
return el;
}
navs = document.querySelectorAll('.container>nav'),
i;
window.onresize = function(){
for(i in navs){
scaledFont(navs[i]);
}
};
window.onresize();
};
I just noticed nicolaas' answer also had some extra overhead. I've cleaned it up a bit. From a performance perspective, I'm not really a fan of using a while loop and slowly moving down the size until you find one that fits.
function setPageHeaderFontSize(selector) {
var $ = jQuery;
$(selector).each(function(i, el) {
var text = $(el).text();
if(text.length) {
var span = $("<span>").css({
visibility: 'hidden',
width: '100%',
position: 'absolute',
'line-height': '300px',
top: 0,
left: 0,
overflow: 'visible',
display: 'table-cell'
}).text(text),
height = 301,
fontSize = 200;
$(el).append(span);
while(height > 300 && fontSize > 10) {
height = span.css("font-size", fontSize).height();
fontSize--;
}
span.remove();
$(el).css("font-size", fontSize+"px");
}
});
}
setPageHeaderFontSize("#MyDiv");
And here is an example of my earlier code using jquery.
$(function(){
var scaledFont = function(el){
if(el.style !== undefined){
el.style.fontSize = (el.offsetWidth*0.35)+'%';
}
return el;
};
$(window).resize(function(){
$('.container>nav').each(scaledFont);
}).resize();
});
A bit late but this is how I approach this problem:
document.body.setScaledFont = function() {
var f = 0.35, s = this.offsetWidth, fs = s * f;
this.style.fontSize = fs + '%';
return this
}
document.body.setScaledFont();
The base document font is now set.
For the rest of your elements in the dom set font sizes as % or em and they will scale proportionately.
here I have a mootools solution:
Element.implement("fitText", function() {
var e = this.getParent();
var maxWidth = e.getSize().x;
var maxHeight = e.getSize().y;
console.log(maxWidth);
var sizeX = this.getSize().x;
var sizeY = this.getSize().y;
if (sizeY <= maxHeight && sizeX <= maxWidth)
return;
var fontSize = this.getStyle("font-size").toInt();
while( (sizeX > maxWidth || sizeY > maxHeight) && fontSize > 4 ) {
fontSize -= .5;
this.setStyle("font-size", fontSize + "px");
sizeX = this.getSize().x;
sizeY = this.getSize().y;
}
return this;
});
$$("span").fitText();
Here is another jQuery solution ...
/**
* Resizes page header font-size for the text to fit.
* basically we add a hidden span into the header,
* put the text into it and then keep reducing the super large font-size
* for as long as the height of the span exceeds the super
* tall line-height set for the test (indicating there is more than one line needed
* to show the text).
*/
function setPageHeaderFontSize(selectorString) {
jQuery(selectorString).each(
function(i, el) {
var text = jQuery(el).text();
var length = text.length;
if(length) {
var id = "TestToSeeLengthOfElement_" + i;
jQuery(el).append("<span style='visibility: hidden; width: 100%; position: absolute; line-height: 300px; top: 0; left: 0; overflow: visible; display: table-cell;' id='"+id+"'>"+text+"</span>");
var innerEl = jQuery("#"+id);
var height = 301;
var fontSize = 200;
while(height > 300 && fontSize > 10) {
height = jQuery(innerEl).css("font-size", fontSize).height();
fontSize--;
}
jQuery(innerEl).remove();
jQuery(el).css("font-size", fontSize+"px");
}
}
);
}
//you can run it like this... using any jQuery enabled selector string (e.g. h1.pageHeaders works fine).
setPageHeaderFontSize("#MyDiv");
Here's a way to find the height of the text that you are using.
It's simple and only uses javascript. You can use this to adjust your text relative to the height you want.
function getTextHeight(text, fontSize) {
var numberOfLines = 0;
var STL = text;
for(var i = 0; i < STL.length; i++){
if(STL[i] === '<'){
try{
if(STL[i + 1] === 'b' && STL[i + 2] === 'r' && STL[i + 3] === '>'){
numberOfLines++;
}
}
catch(err){
break;
}
}
return (numberOfLines + 1) * fontSize;
}

Javascript Marquee to replace <marquee> tags

I'm hopeless at Javascript. This is what I have:
<script type="text/javascript">
function beginrefresh(){
//set the id of the target object
var marquee = document.getElementById("marquee_text");
if(marquee.scrollLeft >= marquee.scrollWidth - parseInt(marquee.style.width)) {
marquee.scrollLeft = 0;
}
marquee.scrollLeft += 1;
// set the delay (ms), bigger delay, slower movement
setTimeout("beginrefresh()", 10);
}
</script>
It scrolls to the left but I need it to repeat relatively seamlessly. At the moment it just jumps back to the beginning. It might not be possible the way I've done it, if not, anyone have a better method?
Here is a jQuery plugin with a lot of features:

Simple javascript solution:

i = i < width ? i + step : 1;
m.style.marginLeft = -i + 'px';
}
var i = 0,
step = 3,
space = ' ';
var m = document.getElementById('marquee');
var t = m.innerHTML; //text
m.innerHTML = t + space;
m.style.position = 'absolute'; // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2057682/determine-pixel-length-of-string-in-javascript-jquery/2057789#2057789
var width = (m.clientWidth + 1);
m.style.position = '';
m.innerHTML = t + space + t + space + t + space + t + space + t + space + t + space + t + space;
m.addEventListener('mouseenter', function () {
step = 0;
}, true);
m.addEventListener('mouseleave', function () {
step = 3;
}, true);
var x = setInterval(go, 50);
}, true);
#marquee {
background:#eee;
overflow:hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
}

I recently implemented a marquee in HTML using Cycle 2 Jquery plugin :
http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle2/demo/non-image.php
<div class="cycle-slideshow" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-speed="9000" data-cycle-timeout="1" data-cycle-easing="linear" data-cycle-pause-on-hover="true" data-cycle-slides="> div" >
<div> Text 1 </div>
<div> Text 2 </div>
</div>
HTML5 does not support the tag, however a lot of browsers will still display the text "properly" but your code will not validate. If this isn't an issue for you, that may be an option.
CSS3 has the ability, supposedly, to have marquee text, however because anyone that knows how to do it believes it's a "bad idea" for CSS, there is very limited information that I have found online. Even the W3 documents do not go into enough detail for the hobbyist or self-teaching person to implement it.
PHP and Perl can duplicate the effect as well. The script needed for this would be insanely complicated and take up much more resources than any other options. There is also the possibility that the script would run too quickly on some browsers, causing the effect to be completely negated.
So back to JavaScript - Your code (OP) seems to be about the cleanest, simplest, most effective I've found. I will be trying this. For the seamless thing, I will be looking into a way to limit the white space between end and beginning, possibly with doing a while loop (or similar) and actually run two of the script, letting one rest while the other is processing.
There may also be a way with a single function change to eliminate the white space. I'm new to JS, so don't know off the top of my head. - I know this isn't a full-on answer, but sometimes ideas can cause results, if only for someone else.
This script used to replace the marquee tag
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.scrollingtext').bind('marquee', function() {
var ob = $(this);
var tw = ob.width();
var ww = ob.parent().width();
ob.css({ right: -tw });
ob.animate({ right: ww }, 20000, 'linear', function() {
ob.trigger('marquee');
});
}).trigger('marquee');
});
</script>
<div class="scroll">
<div class="scrollingtext"> Flash message without marquee tag using javascript! </div>
</div>
Working with #Stano code and some jQuery I have created a script that will replace the old marquee tag with standard div. The code will also parse the marquee attributes like direction, scrolldelay and scrollamount.
Here is the code:
jQuery(function ($) {
if ($('marquee').length == 0) {
return;
}
$('marquee').each(function () {
let direction = $(this).attr('direction');
let scrollamount = $(this).attr('scrollamount');
let scrolldelay = $(this).attr('scrolldelay');
let newMarquee = $('<div class="new-marquee"></div>');
$(newMarquee).html($(this).html());
$(newMarquee).attr('direction',direction);
$(newMarquee).attr('scrollamount',scrollamount);
$(newMarquee).attr('scrolldelay',scrolldelay);
$(newMarquee).css('white-space', 'nowrap');
let wrapper = $('<div style="overflow:hidden"></div>').append(newMarquee);
$(this).replaceWith(wrapper);
});
function start_marquee() {
let marqueeElements = document.getElementsByClassName('new-marquee');
let marqueLen = marqueeElements.length
for (let k = 0; k < marqueLen; k++) {
let space = ' ';
let marqueeEl = marqueeElements[k];
let direction = marqueeEl.getAttribute('direction');
let scrolldelay = marqueeEl.getAttribute('scrolldelay') * 100;
let scrollamount = marqueeEl.getAttribute('scrollamount');
let marqueeText = marqueeEl.innerHTML;
marqueeEl.innerHTML = marqueeText + space;
marqueeEl.style.position = 'absolute';
let width = (marqueeEl.clientWidth + 1);
let i = (direction == 'rigth') ? width : 0;
let step = (scrollamount !== undefined) ? parseInt(scrollamount) : 3;
marqueeEl.style.position = '';
marqueeEl.innerHTML = marqueeText + space + marqueeText + space;
let x = setInterval( function () {
if ( direction.toLowerCase() == 'left') {
i = i < width ? i + step : 1;
marqueeEl.style.marginLeft = -i + 'px';
} else {
i = i > -width ? i - step : width;
marqueeEl.style.marginLeft = -i + 'px';
}
}, scrolldelay);
}
}
start_marquee ();
});
And here is a working codepen
I was recently working on a site that needed a marquee and had initially used the dynamic marquee, which worked well but I couldn't have the text begin off the screen. Took a look around but couldn't find anything quite as simple as I wanted so I made my own:
<div id="marquee">
<script type="text/javascript">
let marquee = $('#marquee p');
const appendToMarquee = (content) => {
marquee.append(content);
}
const fillMarquee = (itemsToAppend, content) => {
for (let i = 0; i < itemsToAppend; i++) {
appendToMarquee(content);
}
}
const animateMarquee = (itemsToAppend, content, width) => {
fillMarquee(itemsToAppend, content);
marquee.animate({left: `-=${width}`,}, width*10, 'linear', function() {
animateMarquee(itemsToAppend, content, width);
})
}
const initMarquee = () => {
let width = $(window).width(),
marqueeContent = "YOUR TEXT",
itemsToAppend = width / marqueeContent.split("").length / 2;
animateMarquee(itemsToAppend, marqueeContent, width);
}
initMarquee();
</script>
And the CSS:
#marquee {
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0;
padding: 0.5em 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
background-color: #000;
color: #fff;
}
#marquee p {
white-space: nowrap;
margin: 0;
overflow: visible;
position: relative;
left: 0;
}
