javascript, offsetTop, offsetBottom

I have a paragraph tag in my html id is move, I am trying to move the p tag to slowing fall down while on page load. but my code is not working.......
var speed = 12;
var direction = 1;
var getParagraph = document.getElementById("move");
getParagraph.onmouseover = moving;
function moving() {
var bo = getParagraph.offsetHeight;
var boTop = getParagraph.offsetTop;
var boBottom = boTop + bo;
// When right side of the box goes too far - change direction:
if (boBottom > document.body.offsetHeight) {
direction = -1;
}
// When left side of the box goes too far - change direction:
if (boTop < 0) {
direction = 1;
}
// Recalculate position:
getParagraph.style.Top = (boTop + speed * direction)
}

This is your code with minor changes, and it "works":
JS:
var speed = 12;
var direction = 1;
var getParagraph = document.getElementById("move");
document.getElementById("move").addEventListener("mouseover", moving);
//getParagraph.onmouseover = moving;
function moving() {
console.log("Moving??");
var bo = document.getElementById("move").offsetHeight;
var boTop = document.getElementById("move").offsetTop;
var boBottom = boTop + bo;
// When right side of the box goes too far - change direction:
if (boBottom > document.body.offsetHeight) {
direction = -1;
}
// When left side of the box goes too far - change direction:
if (boTop < 0) {
direction = 1;
}
// Recalculate position:
document.getElementById("move").style.marginTop = (boTop + speed * direction) + "px";
speed++;
}
CSS:
#move {
display : block ;
position : absolute ;
}
Hope it helps.

I am trying to animate my website falling apart but I am having a hard time articulation this into code. I thought of running the animation in a loop, creating events at specific frames and reusing some codes as functions. I have a rotate function which works to rotate several things.
THE PROBLEM:
The problem I am having is sliding my menu items one at a time to the right. I want one to slide a bit and the next to start sliding after. I wrote a function to slide an item and then in that function it adds another process to an array for the next menu item to be called and run the same function (with passed interval of who is calling). I do not know how many menu items there will be, thats why I am trying to make it dynamic.
I can get it so that the first mwnu item falls, the menu falls by rotating it (some times if there is an error in the code then it wont rotate, but when there are no errors it works better).
The issue is sliding each menu item.
my website is here: http://clearlove.ca/89-404-error
Can any one help me with why this isnt working, and if there is a better way to do what I am trying to do?

Javascript help, Trying to animate two different sprites at same time

I need some javascript help. I am trying to set up two sprite animations with different frame rates in two separate div.
Here is a fiddle I started and i am very much stuck.
How do I combine the two div IDs into one statement? OR Should I be using ClassName in the statement to run on both divs?
http://jsfiddle.net/akwilinski/3t7d6qbL/1/
<div id="animate" class="animation"></div>
<div id="animate2" class="animation2"></div>
onload = function startAnimation() {
var frameHeight = 400;
var frames = 27;
var frame = 0;
var div = document.getElementById("animate");
setInterval(function () {
var frameOffset = (++frame % frames) * -frameHeight;
div.style.backgroundPosition = "0px " + frameOffset + "px";
}, 100);
}
Thank you for any assistance!

Simplest way to do this using the method you have already started using is to define 2 new variables, 1 for the second div and one for the second frame count. Then you can just add the call to your function.
Updated js:
onload = function startAnimation() {
var frameHeight = 400;
var frames = 27;
var frame = 0;
var div = document.getElementById("animate");
var div2 = document.getElementById("animate2");
setInterval(function () {
var frameOffset = (++frame % frames) * -frameHeight;
var frameOffset2 = (++frame % frames) * -frameHeight - 10;
div.style.backgroundPosition = "0px " + frameOffset + "px";
div2.style.backgroundPosition = "0px " + frameOffset + "px";
}, 100);
}
Fiddle

http://jsfiddle.net/f4v1vy7x/5/
I made a Can object to store the configuration for each can (so you can have different frameHeights, frames and frameRates.
I used window.requestAnimationFrame because it's far more efficient than setInterval. On each available frame I check whether it's time to animate based on each Can's set frame rate:
var Can = function( selector, frameHeight, frames, frameRate )
{
this.domCan = document.getElementById( selector );
this.frameHeight = frameHeight;
this.frames = frames;
this.frameRate = frameRate;
this.frame = 0;
};
onload = function startAnimation() {
var can1 = new Can( 'animate', 400, 27, 20 );
var can2 = new Can( 'animate2', 400, 27, 100 );
var cans = [ can1, can2 ];
window.requestAnimationFrame( function() {
can1.start = can2.start = new Date();
animate( cans );
} );
};
var animate = function( cans ) {
for( var i = 0; i < cans.length; i++ ) {
var now = new Date();
var can = cans[i];
if( now - can.start >= 1000 / can.frameRate ) {
can.start = now;
var frameOffset = (++can.frame % can.frames) * -can.frameHeight;
can.domCan.style.backgroundPosition = "0px " + frameOffset + "px";
}
}
window.requestAnimationFrame( function() {
animate( cans );
} );
}

You could do something like this:
var div = document.getElementById("animate");
var div2 = document.getElementById("animate2");
function anim(div) {
setInterval(function () {
var frameOffset = (++frame % frames) * -frameHeight;
div.style.backgroundPosition = "0px " + frameOffset + "px";
}, 100);
}
anim(div);
anim(div2);
You could then pass in additional parameters like frameHeight, frame, and frames to further customize each animation.

how to use setInterval to continue animation while mouse is over div

I am trying to modify a slideshow to continuously animate while the mouse is over the back or next arrow. If the mouse leaves, I would like the animation to stop where it is.
I found this post and this post which are helpful in telling me I need to use setInterval, but because I am a beginner I am not sure how to implement it with the code I have. I tried updating the miliseconds set in the counter variable but that didn't change anything.
Here is the hover code so far. It advances the image on hover but not continuously.
$(document).ready(function(){
var thumbs = $('ul.thumbHolder li');
var bigImgs = $('ul.imgHolder li');
var mask = $('.imgHolder');
var imgW = $('ul.imgHolder li').width();
var speed = 800;
thumbs.removeClass('selected').first().addClass('selected');
thumbs.click(function () {
var target = $(this).index();
mask.animate({
'left': '-' + imgW * target + 'px'
}, speed);
thumbs.removeClass('selected');
$(this).addClass('selected');
});
$('.Bleft').on('mouseover', function () {
var i = $('ul.thumbHolder li.selected').index();
i--;
$('ul.thumbHolder li.selected').removeClass('selected');
thumbs.eq(i).addClass('selected');
if (i === -1) {
mask.animate({
'left': '-' + imgW * $('ul.thumbHolder li').index() + 'px'
}, speed);
} else {
mask.animate({
'left': '-' + imgW * i + 'px'
}, speed);
}
clearInterval(counter);
});
$('.Bright').on('mouseover', function () {
var i = $('ul.thumbHolder li.selected').index();
i = i >= thumbs.length - 1 ? 0 : i + 1;
$('ul.thumbHolder li.selected').removeClass('selected');
thumbs.eq(i).addClass('selected');
mask.animate({
'left': '-' + imgW * i + 'px'
}, speed);
clearInterval(counter);
});
var count = 0;
var counter = window.setInterval(timer, 5000);
function timer() {
count = count + 0;
if (count >= 0) {
count = 0;
return;
}
mask.animate({
'left': '-' + imgW * count + 'px'
}, speed);
thumbs.removeClass('selected');
thumbs.eq(count).addClass('selected');
}
});
This is an example of what I am trying to achieve (I know it is flash but I think it can be done with jQuery too).
This is a fiddle that has all my work so far.
Thank you for any help.

I think I am close to the solution. This is my idea.
Every ul.imgHolder li is divided in many blocks of 20px ( you can change the size of course ), so if a div has a size of 980px you will have 49 blocks for image.
When mouseover event is fired I will slide for a block every speed milliseconds until the mouseout is fired.
I've implemented only the slide right button, I've deleted partially some logic, sorry!
var $ = jQuery.noConflict(true);
$(document).ready(function(){
var thumbs = $('ul.thumbHolder li');
var bigImgs = $('ul.imgHolder li');
var mask = $('.imgHolder');
var imgW = $('ul.imgHolder li').width(); //Assuming imgW % 20 = 0
var blockSize = 20; //20px
var blocksPerThumb = imgW/blockSize;
var numBlocks = (blocksPerThumb)*thumbs.length;
var speed = 400;
var blockPos = 0;
var currentAnim = null;
thumbs.removeClass('selected').first().addClass('selected');
thumbs.click(function () {
var target = $(this).index();
mask.animate({
'left': '-' + imgW * target + 'px'
}, speed,'linear');
thumbs.removeClass('selected');
$(this).addClass('selected');
});
$('.Bleft').on('mouseover', function () {
});
$('.Bright').on('mouseover', function(){
currentAnim = setInterval(goRight,speed);
}).mouseout(function(){
clearInterval(currentAnim);
});
var goRight = function () {
blockPos = (blockPos+1)%numBlocks;
mask.animate({
'left': '-' + blockSize * blockPos + 'px'
}, speed,'linear');
};
});
Good Work!

How to add scroll background effect to multiple elements with different settings?

In this demo http://www.htmldrive.net/items/demo/527/Animated-background-image-with-jQuery
This code is for one background only. I want to add multiple background with different direction and speed.
var scrollSpeed = 70;
var step = 1;
var current = 0;
var imageWidth = 2247;
var headerWidth = 800;
var restartPosition = -(imageWidth - headerWidth);
function scrollBg(){
current -= step;
if (current == restartPosition){
current = 0;
}
$('#header').css("background-position",current+"px 0");
}
var init = setInterval("scrollBg()", scrollSpeed);
Currently it has settings for
$('#header').css("background-position",current+"px 0");
In a website I want to use this effect on #footer or #content background also. but with different speed and direction.
And is there any better and more optimized jquery method to achieve same effect?
And can we get same effect using CSS 3, without javascript?

Just saw the OP's answer, but decided to post anyway:
I've created a jQuery plugin to do this:
(function($) {
$.fn.scrollingBackground = function(options) {
// settings and defaults.
var settings = options || {};
var speed = settings.speed || 1;
var step = settings.step || 1;
var direction = settings.direction || 'rtl';
var animStep;
// build up a string to pass to animate:
if (direction === 'rtl') {
animStep = "-=" + step + "px";
}
else if (direction === 'ltr') {
animStep = '+=' + step + "px";
}
var element = this;
// perform the animation forever:
var animate = function() {
element.animate({
backgroundPosition: animStep + " 0px"
}, speed, animate);
};
animate();
};
})(jQuery);
Usage:
$("#header").scrollingBackground({
speed: 50,
step: 50,
direction: 'ltr'
});
This is pretty basic, and assumes that you're background-repeat is 'repeat-x' on the element you call it on. This way, there's no need to reset the background position every so often.
Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/andrewwhitaker/xmtpr/

I could work out the following solution. Am not sure if it is efficient. Will wait for anyone to comment or provide a better option.
Till then...:
var scrollSpeed = 70;
var step = 1;
var current = 0;
var images =
[
{
imageWidth:2247,
imagePath:"images/image1"
},
{
imageWidth:1200,
imagePath:"images/image2"
}
]
var headerWidth = 800;
var imageRotateCount = 0;
var imagesLength = images.length;
$('#header').css("background-image", images[0].imagePath);
function scrollBg(){
var curIndex = imageRotateCount%imagesLength;
var curImage = images[curIndex];
current -= step;
var restartPosition = -(curImage.imageWidth - headerWidth);
if (current == restartPosition){
current = 0;
imageRotateCount++;
curIndex = imageRotateCount%imagesLength;
curImage = images[curIndex];
$('#header').css("background-image", curImage.imagePath);
}
$('#header').css("background-position",current+"px 0");
}
var init = setInterval("scrollBg()", scrollSpeed);
