jQuery - Animation flickering? (IE8) - javascript

This code does what I need it to but it has an annoying flicker as it's doing it. What it does is at the base I have an inline list contained in a "large" div (navContainer) and on top of the large div is a smaller div (smallNavContainer). As the large div below is moved left or right the the smaller div displays a different part of the list. When I'm using "margin-left" it works but there is an annoying flicker and if I use just "left" there is no flicker but div once the area that was displayed is offscreen none of the rest of the list that is moving in is displayed. Is there any way to get rid of the flicker from marginLeft? or is there a way to make the rest of the list render when I use "left".
jQuery
$('#capeBtnsPrevTab').live("click",function()
{
$("#navContainer").animate({"margin-left": "+=468"}, 1000, function(){
});
});
$('#capeBtnsNextTab').live("click",function()
{
$("#navContainer").animate({"margin-left": "-=468"}, 1000, function(){
});
});
CSS
.floatIt
{
float:left;
}
div#smallNavContainer
{
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
z-index:0;
overflow:hidden;
width: 780px;
height: 88px;
margin-left:-392px;
margin-top: 72px;
}
#navContainer
{
position: relative;
margin-left:-506px;
margin-top:0px;
}
#navlist li
{
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
padding-right: 0px;
padding-left: 0px;
margin-right: -2px;
margin-left: -2px;
}
HTML
<img class="floatIt" id="capeBtnsPrevTab" src="btn_1.png" alt="Previous"/></a>
<div class="floatIt" id="smallNavContainer">
<div id="navContainer">
<ul id="navlist">
<li><img id="btn9" src="menu_one.jpg"/></li>
<li><img id="btn10" src="menu_two.jpg"/></li>
<li><img id="btn11" src="menu_three.jpg"/></li>
<li><img id="btn1" src="menu_four.jpg"/></li>
<li><img id="btn2" src="menu_five.jpg"/></li>
<li><img id="btn3" src="menu_six.jpg"/></li>
<li><img id="btn4" src="menu_seven.jpg"/></li>
<li><img id="btn5" src="menu_eight.jpg"/></li>
<li><img id="btn6" src="menu_nine.jpg"/></li>
<li><img id="btn7" src="menu_ten.jpg"/></li>
<li><img id="btn8" src="menu_eleven.jpg"/></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<a><img class="floatIt" id="capeBtnsNextTab" src="UI/btnNext_n.png" alt="Next"/></a><br/>

using % instead of += or -= may help but not sure about it

I figured out what the flickering was, it was IE prematurely removing each button when the edge of it crossed off of the rendered div.

Adding bottom arrow/triangle to a hovered active element

I have a <ul> that is displayed inline-block and I need it to have a arrow appear when the element is active, see screenshot:
And here is what I have currently:
I already have the functionality with activating the element on hover:
.coffee
$(".solutions-items li").hover ->
$(this).addClass("solutions-items-active").siblings().removeClass "solutions-items-active"
My .html
<div class="text-center">
<ul class="solutions-items">
<li class="solutions-items-active"><img class="home-solutions-icon" src="" alt="online shop"></li>
<li><img class="home-solutions-icon" src="" alt="mobile smartphone"></li>
<li><img class="home-solutions-icon" src="" alt="couch commerce tablet"></li>
<li><img class="home-solutions-icon" src="" alt="pos point of sale"></li>
<li><img class="home-solutions-icon" src="" alt="marketplace"></li>
<li><img class="home-solutions-icon" src="" alt="wearables"></li>
<li><img class="home-solutions-icon" src="" alt="e-commerce innovations"></li>
</ul>
</div>
And here is my css:
.scss
.solutions-items li {
display: inline-block;
}
.home-solutions-icon {
height: 7em;
padding: 0.5em;
}
.solutions-items-active {
background: $green;
}
Any ideas how I can tackle this? Thanks !
You probably just want to add a bit of CSS to do that. If your image has a fixed size, there is a CSS trick to do that :
.arrow-down {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 20px solid transparent;
border-right: 20px solid transparent;
border-top: 20px solid #f00;
}

How to create horizontal scroll bar for a div

I have the following items.

I want to be able to have horizontal scroll bar in my div.
I have something like this

#slide-container{
width: 970px;
height: 190px;
line-height: 190px;
border:solid 1px #EEEEEE;
position: relative;
overflow: scroll;
}
I can only see the vertical scroll bar and my slides are vertically aligned. I was hoping someone here can help me to keep my slides aligned horizontally and show a scroll bar for it.
My brain is fried...
Thanks a lot!
To #slide-container add white-space: nowrap; overflow: auto;.
For #slide-list li add display: inline-block;.
Please replace your style with this
#slide-container{
width: 970px;
height: 190px;
line-height: 190px;
border:solid 1px #EEEEEE;
position: relative;
overflow-y:hidden;
overflow-x: scroll;
display:block;
}
#slide-list
{
width:1500px; /*i put this for see the scrolling/*
}

How to make combination of images responsive in twitter bootstrap?

I want the above five different images joined as this is header part of a webpage.
I used the lavalamp plugin and it works, but the webpage loses its responsiveness. On different devices, the header is not displayed in one line.
I tried to insert it in bootstrap. I inserted the lines of code of lavalamp CSS in bootstrap CSS file, shown here:
.lavaLampWithImage {
margin-top:10px;
position: relative;
height: 55px;
/* width: 734px;*/
/*width:780px;*/
}
.lavaLampWithImage li {
float: left;
list-style: none;
}
.lavaLampWithImage li.back {
background: url("res/arrow.png") no-repeat right -30px;
z-index: 0;
padding-top:59px;
padding-left:40px;
position: absolute;
}
.lavaLampWithImage li.back .left {
background: url("res/arrow.png") no-repeat top left;
height: 30px;
}
.lavaLampWithImage li a {
z-index: 20;
display: block;
float: left;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
.mm {
border:0px;
}
#navbar {
/*margin-left:152px;*/
/*padding-top:60px;*/
padding-top:1px;
/*width:727px;*/
}
And the relevant HTML code part is as follows:
<div class="span6">
<div id="navbar">
<ul class="lavaLampWithImage" id="1">
<li><img class="mm" src="res/1.png" width="300" height="60" alt="home" onClick="location.href='index.html'"/></li>
<li class="current"><img class="mm" src="res/Home-n.png" width="120" height="60" alt="home" onClick="location.href='index.html'"/></li>
<li><img class="mm" src="res/blog.png" width="120" height="60" alt="contact us" onClick="location.href='http://eywaz.com/sit2/'"/></li>
<li><img class="mm" src="res/Help-n.png" width="120" height="60" alt="about us" onClick="location.href='help.html'"/></li>
<li><img class="mm" src="res/Contact_us-n.png" width="120" height="60" alt="contact us" onClick="location.href='contactus.html'"/></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
How to make it responsive?
Please reply as early as possible.
Thanks in advance.
First remove specific width and height from your image tag like bellow :
<li><img class="mm" src="res/Home-n.png" alt="home" onClick="location.href='index.html'"/></li>
Then write in css :
#media only screen and (max-width:720px){
.lavaLampWithImage li img {
max-width:100%;
}
}
and give a specific width of li element in percentage in this media query.
I am not 100% sure what you mean with responsive images. But if you just want to resize the images according to the screen width, you could try something like this:
.lavaLampWithImage {
margin:10px 0 0;
padding:0;
display:block;
position: relative;
width:100%;
}
.lavaLampWithImage li {
display:inline-block;
list-style: none;
background-color:green;
width:15.38%;
}
.lavaLampWithImage li:first-child {
width:38.45%;
}
.lavaLampWithImage li a, .lavaLampWithImage li a img {
display:block;
width:100%;
}
and the html:
<div class="span6">
<div id="navbar">
<ul class="lavaLampWithImage" id="nav1">
<li><img class="mm" src="http://www.upsdell.com/BrowserNews/img/ban_300x60.png" alt="home" onClick="location.href='index.html'"/></li><li class="current"><img class="mm" src="http://www.motive.co.nz/glossary/img/banner-120x60.gif" alt="home" onClick="location.href='index.html'"/></li><li><img class="mm" src="http://www.motive.co.nz/glossary/img/banner-120x60.gif" alt="contact us" onClick="location.href='http://eywaz.com/sit2/'"/></li><li><img class="mm" src="http://www.motive.co.nz/glossary/img/banner-120x60.gif" alt="about us" onClick="location.href='help.html'"/></li><li><img class="mm" src="http://www.motive.co.nz/glossary/img/banner-120x60.gif" alt="contact us" onClick="location.href='contactus.html'"/></li>
</ul>

jQuery Slider performing unexpectedly?

I have, after many tutorials and lots of time, managed to build a slider with jQuery. However, it's not working as smoothly as I would have hoped. I have used a custom handle, and seeing as the new jQueryUI doesn't have a handle option, I have created a handle in CSS. However, this handle is going beyond the required bounds of the slider. I have uploaded a test page which can be found here.
My code is as follows:
CSS
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
<!--
body {
padding: 0;
font: 1em "Trebuchet MS", verdana, arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 100%;
background-color: #212121;
margin: 0;
}
h1 {
margin-bottom: 2px;
}
#container {
background-color: #fff;
width: 580px;
margin: 15px auto;
padding: 50px;
}
/* slider specific CSS */
.sliderGallery {
background: url(productbrowser_background_20070622.jpg) no-repeat;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
padding: 10px;
height: 160px;
width: 560px;
}
.sliderGallery UL {
position: absolute;
list-style: none;
overflow: none;
white-space: nowrap;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.sliderGallery UL LI {
display: inline;
}
.slider {
width: 542px;
height: 17px;
margin-top: 140px;
margin-left: 5px;
padding: 1px;
position: relative;
background: url(productbrowser_scrollbar_20070622.png) no-repeat;
}
.ui-slider .ui-slider-handle {
width:180px;
margin-left:-90px;
}
.ui-slider-handle {
position: absolute;
cursor: default;
height: 17px;
top: 0;
background: url(productbrowser_scroller_20080115.png) no-repeat;
z-index: 100;

<span class="slider-lbl2">Other Books</span>

What I'd like to know is if there is any way to force the slider bar to stay inside the image behind it? The test link will let you understand what I mean if I didn't explain myself clearly.
Thanks in advance,

The problem is coming from the fact that your handle is set to go outside of it's container.
The two problems are coming from the following
.ui-slider .ui-slider-handle {
width:180px;
margin-left:-90px;
}
The second line says that the slider is allowed to go 90px before the left of it's initial container (hence the left overflow)
And when setting the left of the handle to 100%, it means that it will overflow on the right from 90px (180-90).
The way I would handle that would be to drop the margin-left:-90px;, to reduce the width of the scrolling div by 180px and to use another div to display the scroll bar image (positioned under your sliding div, but wider).
Something like:
.slider {
width: 362px;
height: 17px;
margin-top: 140px;
margin-left: 5px;
padding: 1px;
position: relative;
}
.ui-slider .ui-slider-handle {
width:180px;
}
.sliderImg{
background: url(productbrowser_scrollbar_20070622.png) no-repeat;
/*add css to position it correctly here*/
}
EDIT: To answer to your comment, the following correction to the CSS on your page should make that work:
.slider {
/*let the rest as is*/
margin-left: 90px;
}
.ui-slider .ui-slider-handle {
width:180px;
margin-left:-90px;
}
This combination will let it with the same boundaries (-90 + 90 = 0 ) but are going to make it move nicely.
EDIT2:
TO enable the click on the handle, you'll need to specify a height to your handle (otherwise you wouldn't be able to click on it). However this will move your span under the sliding div, to overcome it you'll have to specify their top position (as you already have them in absolute it's easy ;) ).
The following should do.
.handle {
height: 100%;
}
.slider span {
/*let the rest as is*/
top: 0;
}
To make that work above the span, you'll need to change your html a bit like that:
<div class="handle">
<span id="slider-tags" class="slider-lbl1">Our Books</span>
<span id="slider-tags" class="slider-lbl2">Other Books</span>
</div>

slideshow using overlapping transparent images

I have looked at the very helpful suggestions for the css for handling a bunch of exactly overlapping transparent images placed on a non-transparent image (in my case, a map but not a google-type map, just a line drawing). Could someone help me with turning that into a slideshow? I want to progressively stack images directly on top of each other so that the user sees an accumulation of visual information.
Here's a very simplified implementation: http://jsfiddle.net/r7B4n/
JavaScript:
$('#showNext').click(function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
$('#slideShow li:hidden:first').fadeIn();
});
CSS:
#slideShow {
position: relative;
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid #444;
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: url(http://dummyimage.com/300x200/ccc/fff)
}
#slideShow li {
position: absolute;
left: 0; top: 0;
display: none
}
HTML:
<ul id="slideShow">
<li><img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/hCTLO.png" /></li>
<li><img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/Zm25l.png" /></li>
<li><img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/3Rtc5.png" /></li>
<li><img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/cg3MF.png" /></li>
</ul>
