Faux pas columns and masonry.js not working - javascript

My portfolio website currently uses masonry.js to show the posts in a grid-like manner. Though i've recently come up on a bug that i can't seem to get rid of. If you go to my portfolio website at http://www.aerosphere.nl on a small resolution (resize browser or look at it with a tablet/phone), and somehow the masonry blocks move below the navigation menu.
I've tried adjusting the widths of the columns, even moving the sidebar to the right of the masonry blocks, all with no luck. Anyone care to look at the source code and/or know how to fix this?

The problem lied at the fact that i didn't use fixed positions for the nav menu and the masonry section of the site. MasonryJS uses fixed positions to get the whole effect, and when resizing it calculates screen size from the far left side of the screen since it doesn't have an x-coordinate assigned.
Since the nav bar is in the way to position the whole thing at x = 0 the whole section moves below the nav bar.

Synchronized Independent column scrolling

I am developing a react web page, where I am using this kind of layout.
But the height of the page could be even more than 4k px because I do not exactly know how many "boxes" will be displayed. Therefore, I added scrollbar to the page.
Now I would like to have aligned items to the bottom (top is already aligned by default) when the user is scrolling.
To achieve this, every column must scroll independently but synchronized at the same time.
Does someone have any suggestions on how to achieve this goal? It is some kind of parallax in combination with the masonry effect.
Thanks for any ideas.
An idea would be to contain each of the columns in their own div and then use the parallax effect to scroll all of them together.

How to get a scrolling background inside image effect with css and js? not sure what to call it

So essentially what I am looking to do is have a section that has a solid background at some point on my page, and at the top of that a pair of sunglasses that as you begin to scroll, the reflection of the sunglasses changes from a few different images, as well as some text changes below the sunglasses to match each change in the sunglasses. Then once the final image is scrolled through, you reach a new section with different information. I am not entirely sure what this effect is called or how to achieve it, though I am guessing it will require a significant amount of jquery.
An existing website that demonstrates the effect I am trying to achieve is https://software.dakno.com/ with the phone effect in the second area down the page. (I do not own this site nor am I affiliated with the owners). I used chrome developer tools to figure out how it is working, but didn't get too far.
The site that I am working on is http://zack2171.github.io . This is an example site I am using to practice css and web design. The second section is where I am trying to get this effect to work. If someone could help me out a bit and give me some pointers, that would be great. Thanks
To achieve your goal, your definitely looking towards a mixture of jQuery and css. Most of your time will be dedicated towards the scroll position and at what pixel (Scroll distance) is covered to showing your images/text. I would start to align your image that you want in a position that is either fixed or absolute, to give you a better adjustment. Then start to play around with jQuery's Scroll Position. My personal approach would be to to detect the distance scrolled and after reaching those milestones (Half a page / 3/4 of a page) you would use jQuery to verify the position and then display those extra materials you want to show. I hope this kind of let you onto a good starting path.
Quick example, scroll down within the script below and check the console it logs!
$(window).scroll(function() {
console.log($(window).scrollTop());
})
.box {
background-color:#333;
height:5000px;
}

<div class="box"></div>

Split Ajax animation

I am developing a mobile web application using jQuery and i have been requested to have each page transition into the next with an animation where the page is "split in half", then have the upper part slides up and the bottom part slides down, thus revealing the next page.
I have a small idea, but i dont seem to have the knowledge to get trough:
2 Canvas with display: none, each width width: 100%, height: 50%. - Check
Have the actual display be rendered into said canvas's - I have not the slightest of ideas.
Ajax the next page in a div below both canvas's - Check
Slide the canvas's in the respective directions - Check
Set the canvas's to display: none and restore them to their original positions - Check
Any thoughts? I'm open to use any other framework appart from jQuery, if that's the need. I am also open to change my canvas idea into something else.
EDIT:
As for clarification imagine the page to be a closet, but a vertical one so its doors (the actual page) will slide into the roof and the floor respectively (Its not the greatest of comparisons, but please bear with me) and thus let you see and interact with the content of the closet (The next page). This will go on and on until the application's workflow ends at the last screen, as there will be no back button.
I'm pretty sure I know what you want. You have multiple pages in your registration/form process and instead of having the old fadein/fadeout or sliding effects, you want the top half to slide up and the bottom half to slide down. In order to do this, I'd dump the canvas idea. I don't think that there's an easy way to do it using canvas as of right now. You could try using the html2canvas script, but it's not 100% accurate when it comes to rendering things like this.
As an alternative, I'd recommend using the following process. As a preface, make sure that every step in your form has its own container div (called something obvious like "step-wrap" or "step-container"). Then, when you begin the animation, the first thing to do is to duplicate the current step-wrap, calling it something like step-wrap-animation. Give the original wrap, step-wrap, a height of 50% and position the duplicate below the first with the same height of 50%. Both of the divs should have styling that has an overflow of hidden. Make sure, also, that you set the scrollTop of the duplicate div to scroll to the bottom so that it looks like a continuation of the first div. Everything from here should be smooth sailing.
Second, once you have everything in the first step working, start the animation process. You can do this however you want now that we have the splitting functionality figured out. Make sure that before you start splitting the two divs apart you put the next step behind the previous so that it unravels.
Essentially, what you need to do is:
Duplicate the div
Position both divs (the original and the duplicate) so that both the heights equal 50% and they look like continuations of each other
Animate the top div up, bottom div down
Here's a basic fiddle illustrating how something like this should work. Click on the rendered screen to get the animation going.
Take a look at backbone.js and marionette.js based on backbone.js.
backbone.js is MVC framework where you can define separate views. Marionette is an extension which supports regions and switching views based on whatever you want. Inside switching logic you can easily implement your transitions. Very generic answer but perhaps it will help you to get started.

Top and bottom split-screen with jquery, constraining the bottom half to the page

I have a top and a bottom with a line in between to resize(giving more real estate to either the top or the bottom).
Basically a split-screen layout. But I am having a problem getting the bottom portion correct, no matter what I do it always extends beyond the page, and I want the box in the bottom portion to perform exactly as it does in the top portion of the page.
The following demo will show you basically what I am doing as well as my problem:
http://jsfiddle.net/mstefanko/e38bE/67/
I don't have any hard-coded heights(everything is currently set by %'s), but I added them to the fiddle for demonstration of my issue.
Right now the divider that resizes the top and bottom is resizing the top, and I have some code from jQuery UI Resizable alsoResize reverse to reverse resize the bottom. I'm not sure that I even need the extra code, but when I couldn't sort this out, I figured it was worth a shot.
Also, there's a large bottom margin on the top in order to get the jquery ui handle right, this might be causing my problems but playing with it didn't seem to get rid of the issue.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Your problem is that you're trying to scrunch several divs of a fixed size into one bigger fixed-size div, but the other divs don't fit. You can't expect the text to resize when you move the resizer handle to make it fit, and the divs have to go somewhere, so they overflow. Here are a few suggestions:
Give the container a css overflow value of auto (so when you resize it and it's too big to fit, it will automatically give you a scrollbar)
Set the overflow value and get rid of the resizer entirely
Give container a css height value of auto or scroll (if size is not an issue)

Making overlay <div> that stays in position after zoom-resize using HTML-CSS only

I my working on the site that will have image gallery. Designer idea was to make buttons that switch photos be above the photos a bit.
Like this
Example http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/1253/showq.png
Currently I've made a javascript solution to this - it gets position of photo and applies absolute positioning to the button divs. There are some drawbacks - it works unstable in Opera and IE. Also I had to make some dirty haxx to make it stay in position after zooming. I wonder if there is a better way to do this, preferably without javascript.
you mean like here ? (dutch website, see photo browser in the center column at the top)
browser zooming works fine in browsers like firefox and safari because they zoom all the content and recorrect pixel-values. To make zooming work in ie(6) you'd need to style all in em's. But browser zooming is crappy for pixel data anyways…
Absolute positioning of the buttons (left 0 and right 0) is not a problem as long as the container element is positioned relative.
If I understand you correctly, you're trying to center those arrow buttons vertically in relation to the image. This is pretty easily accomplished with just CSS (no javascript required). Here's an example.
The basic idea is that you're using a couple of divs plus some absolute/relative positioning. There's an outer div that drops the top of the whole thing to the center of the parent element and then an inner div that pulls up your content so that the content is centered and not the top of the element.
A popular technique is to split the whole image into two huge (mostly transparent) links. The left half of the photo would take you to the previous image, the right to the next.
Of course you position you images of buttons appropriately and they would move around but I assume the problem you're finding is you have to keep moving your mouse to go through lots of images as the buttons move.... Well with this idea, you only need keep your mouse near the middle, and it should remain over the photo (and therefore a direction).
Example: http://gizmodo.com/photogallery/dreamhomespshop/1008251500
Mouse-over the image and you'll see it's active the complete way across. Not quite the same as your implementation, I'm sure, but the concept applies.
