Flexslider - navigation arrow hide until hover - javascript

Currently using Flexslider and would like to be able to hide the navigation arrows which presently appear on right and left side of the image but than have them appear when the user hovers over the image. I remember it being addressed on the old site - muffin one, but cannot find it on woothemes.
Does anyone have an idea on how to change/modify/add info to do this?
Thanks in advance.

You can modify the arrows in the css. If you want the arrows to always be visible you want to change the opacity. It's currently set to 0 which makes it non-visible until hover (the hover opacity is set to 1 which is completely visible). So you want to just make it visible like so:
.flex-direction-nav a {opacity: 1;}
If you then want to change the location of the arrow you will need to simply change the margin. It is currently set to -20px. If you want to make it appear outside the box you will need to make it something like this:
.flex-direction-nav a {margin: -40px 0 0;}
If you did both your css would look like this:
.flex-direction-nav a {opacity: 1; margin: -40px 0 0;}
This would make your arrows always be visible and appear outside the image (to the right and left of the image instead of on top of the image).

You can probably accomplish this via jQuery. In my case I am using FlexSlider for Drupal so I cannot promise that you will have the same CSS selectors, but I hope this code could provide a general idea :)
$(document).ready(function(){$("div.flexslider").hover(function() {
$("a.prev").show();
$("a.next").show();
},
function() {
$("a.prev").hide();
$("a.next").hide();
});})
Good Luck!
P.S. I forgot to mention that you should set your a tag selectors in your CSS to display:none; by default.

Bring element on top of modal backdrop

I am trying to build a guide functionality for my application. As a part of this functionality, it is expected that a tooltip is shown next to the target HTML element and this target element is brought on top of modal backdrop that appears together with the tooltip.
The problem is that after significant effort I still cannot make HTML element show on top of the modal backdrop. Simple tricks like z-index: 10000 !important; position: relative do not help. Also changing parent elements' z-index by disabling it in Firefox Developer Tools (and leaving z-index: 10000 !important; position: relative for the target element that is supposed to be on top of the modal backdrop) does not help.
HTML of the application is quite complex with many elements. But I want to be able to "highlight" any given element by bringing it on top of the modal overlay knowing only its id. Is there an easy way to do that with JavaScript/React?
Hopefully there is a way to do this without modifying the DOM, which would be highly preferable.
UPD: Code demo - press hat button to show guide/tooltips
Remove the z-index from .form-wrapper and apply relative position with z-index for the targetted elements.
I did this by adding
d.classList.add("tooltip-active-element");
to App.js#77
Also added the class to the css file:
.tooltip-active-element {
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
background: red;
}
and removed the z-index value from other classes, the key one being the .form-wrapper class.

Rotation of CSS arrow and javascript toggling

I have two div banners that have corresponding CSS arrows. When the banners are clicked, the javascript toggles between revealing and hiding the text underneath. Likewise, the respective arrows rotate down when the text is revealed and back up when the text is hidden.
Now, I want my first div banner to be revealed automatically when the page first loads. However, when I drew my CSS arrows, due to the padding of the div, I can't get the arrow in the first div to be the same as the arrow in the subsequent div(s) and line up properly.
http://jsfiddle.net/nVuQ2/1/
I've tried messing with the placement of the arrow:
.tri0 {
margin-left: 20px;
margin-top: 5px;
}
but the best I can do is push the tri0 arrow up to the padding of the h3 tag and it won't go any farther.
Is there a way that I can set a toggle flag in the toggleClass to make it say that the first div banner is already toggled and subsequent clicks make it un-toggle?
Your issue happens because of the border of your tris elements. You are displaying different borders in each one of your elements, this will make them appear in different ways.
So basically I set them with the same borders values, the same rotation, and when your page first load it toggles your div and show your first message.
Note that is not necessary to have two different classes to toggle your element state, once that they are equal.
Check in the Fiddle.
Not sure if this is the solution that you wanted. But I hope that helps you.
Thanks.
Try using absolute positioning instead of floating, this way you can ensure the arrows are always aligned in the middle. You'd set parent div to position:relative, and arrows to position:absolute;
The code will look like this -
.slide0, .slide1 {
position:relative;
}
.tri0, .tri1 {
position:absolute;
top:0;
bottom:0;
margin:auto 0;
}
.tri0 {
right:5px;
}
.tri1 {
right:10px;
}
EDIT: Whoops, I realised I didn't compensate for the rotated arrow. Because the 10px border makes it effectively 10px wide, position .tri1 with right:10px instead. Updated code above, and update fiddle here.

Interactive HTML webpage

EDIT: Thanks for a lot of great examples on how to solve these. I cant decide between who to accept yet, but I will go though all examples and see which I like the most. Great feedback guys! =D
I normally do these kind of things in flash, but this time it has to be compatible with mac, iPads and all those units too.
So, what do I need help with?
I've got a picture, with some "hotspots" on. I want to be able to click any of those hotspots to show some information.
This should be fairly basic and easy to achieve, but since I've never done this in html before I have to ask you guys =)
So, what would be the best way to do this? It have to be compatible with any browser and device, and it doesnt need to be very advanced. If it's possible to add effects to the box (sliding out, fading in, or anything like that) then thats a nice bonus, but not something I need.
Any help would be great!
BREAKDOWN:
I have a background image with some "hotspots" (numbers 1 and 2 in my example). The users should be able to either hover the mouse over any of these or click it to get more information, as seen in picture #2
This is that happens when you hover/click any of these hotspots.
Text and image is displayed inside a nice little info box.
If the user clicks "more information" it will open up even further to display more information if available. Like in this img:
I don't think the Javascript approach is really necessary here. I created a little CSS-only mock-up for you on JSBin.
Basically the point is that you enclose the image in a relatively positioned div, then absolute position the hotspots inside the same div. Inside the hotspots divs you will have the more info elements, showing only on :hover of their parents.
This makes it simple, and far more accessible.
Update: cropping the image equally from both sides
If you want to keep the image centered and still not use any javascript, you could set the required image as a background-image of the container, and setting its background-position parameters to center center.
You would have to make sure that the width of this div is set to the width of your image, and the max-width to 100%, so that when the window gets resized below the image width it stays at the center.
Now, a problem that I encountered here is how to make the hotspots stay center relatively to the image. I solved it this way:
I created a wrapper div for the hotspots with these characteristics:
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
width: 0px;
This basically makes sure that the wrapper div finds the center of our image. Then, you would position the hotspots relatively to the top-center position of the image, instead of the top-left as a starting point.
Then you have what you are looking for.
Working demo
Here's another approach, and in my opinion far superior to using a map or excessive JS. Place <div> elements on top of the element with the background-image and have HTML and CSS do the heavy lifting for you.
See it on JSFiddle
HTML
The HTML should seem pretty each enough to understand, we create <div>s with the class hotspot and rely on certain things being present. Namely .text (to show digit), .hover-popup (to show on hover) and .click-popup (which is inside .hover-popup and is shown when clicked).
<div id="hotspot1" class="hotspot">
<div class="text">1</div>
<div class="hover-popup">
I was hovered!
<div class="click-popup">
I was clicked on!
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="hotspot2" class="hotspot">
<div class="text">2</div>
<div class="hover-popup">
I was hovered!
<div class="click-popup">
I was clicked on!
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
This is where most of the magic happens, see the comments for further explanation.
/* These two position each hotspot */
#hotspot1 {
left:15%; /* we could use px or position right or bottom also */
top:20%;
}
#hotspot2 {
left:35%;
top:25%;
}
/* General styles on the hotspot */
.hotspot {
border-radius:50%;
width:40px;
height:40px;
line-height:40px;
text-align:center;
background-color:#CCC;
position:absolute;
}
.hotspot .text {
width:40px;
height:40px;
}
/* Show the pointer on hover to signify a click event */
.hotspot .text:hover {
cursor:pointer;
}
/* hide them by default and bring them to the front */
.hover-popup,
.click-popup {
display:none;
z-index:1;
}
/* show when clicked */
.hotspot.clicked .click-popup {
display:block;
}
/* show and position when clicked */
.hotspot:hover .hover-popup {
display:block;
position:absolute;
left:100%;
top:0;
width:300px;
background-color:#BBB;
border:1px solid #000;
}
JavaScript (with jQuery)
Unfortunately you're going to have to use some JavaScript for the clicking part as CSS doesn't have a 'clicked' state (outside of hacks with checkboxes). I'm using jQuery because it's dead easy to do what I want.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.hotspot').click(function () {
$(this).toggleClass('clicked');
});
});
Creating the arrow
Over at css-tricks you can find a tutorial for attaching an arrow to a element using the :before and/or :after pseudo-elements. You can even 'simulate' a border around them by placing the :after element on top of the :before. But yea, lots of resources on how to do this.
You should be able to use the onclick or OnMouseOver event in the map area (define the href as "").
An example using OnMouseOver is here: http://www.omegagrafix.com/mouseover/mousimap.html
Give a class for that image in html (Ex: imgclass). And in javascript(using jquery), build that hover box in html format and bind it to 'mouseover' event of that image.
For example:
function bindhtmltoimage() {
myimg = $('body').find('.imgclass');
divSlot.each(function (index) {
$(this).bind('mouseover', function () {
try {
//position the hover box on image. you can customize the y and x axis to place it left or right.
var x = $(this).offset().left;
var y = $(this).offset().top;
var position = $(window).height() - ($("#divHover").height() + y);
var widthposition = $(window).width() - ($("#divHover").width() + x);
if (position < 0 || widthposition < 0) {
if (position < 0) {
$("#divHover").css({
position: 'absolute',
left: x + 20,
top: y - $("#divHover").height() - 20
});
}
if (widthposition < 0) {
$("#divHover").css({
position: 'absolute',
left: x - $("#divHover").width(),
top: y + 20
});
}
}
//build your html string for that hover box and apply to it.
$('#divHover').html("your Html content for that box goes here");
$('#divHover').show();
//if you want the box dynamically generated. create the html content and append to the dom.
}
catch (e) {
alert(e)
}
});
});
}
it will work fine in desktop and mobile. if you face any problem in touch devices, bind the function to click event instead of 'mouseover'.
Also, for map approach, i strongly recommend SVG instead of images.

How can I affect Opacity of an image whilst hovering a div?

I'm so so close to acheiving what I want... but I'm wondering if I've hit the limit of what is possible with css.
If you navigate to http://host17.qnop.net/~gjcwebde/ecocamel/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=28&Itemid=49
We have a product slider. I'm trying to get it so that..
1) products start at 100% opacity on load.
2) hover over a product.. and the one you are hovering over stays at 100% opacity, the others all go to say 0.5 opacity (dim down).
I have ALMOST achieved this with css. Yo can see it working, except, when you hover over the description that pops up... the active image goes back to 0.5 opacity. Is it possible to control the opacity of this image, whilst hovering over the popup description? I really really hope so! Failing that... how might I acheive this with js? Looked at some on here, but none really apply to my situation. Hope I've given enough information for you to understand. Cheers!
#containingDiv:hover img { } will affect the img when any of the containing div is hovered over so I would use that if I were you, Ryan's solution will only affect the img if you are hovering over it
I picked up your html and put it in a fiddle. Take a look http://jsfiddle.net/hMW8N/
Anyway, this is all you basically need. I'm over specifying with these selectors, but I'm doing it so you can better understand.
#slider-list-stick-1:hover .slide-index{
opacity: 0.5;
filter:alpha(opacity=50); //ie
}
#slider-list-stick-1 .slide-index:hover {
opacity: 1;
filter:alpha(opacity=100); //ie
}
This should work for the opacity on the images when the user is not hovering.
divName img {
opacity:0.3;
filter:alpha(opacity=30);(IE)
}
And then when they hover (this should include your product info styling to as you have that displayed when hovering.)
diveName img:hover{
opacity:1.0;
filter:alpha(opacity=100);(IE)
}
Also throw in an active class on start so that at least one product is being shown when the page loads
For example:
divName img .activeLoad{
opacity:1.0;
filter:alpha(opacity=100);(IE)
}
Add to your styles this declaration
.slide-index:hover img{
opacity: 1;
}
As other divs are also in the slide-index container - the hover effect will still be applied.

Slide Background with AnythingSlider

I need to slide a background when clicking the "next" arrow, and the "previous" arrow - right now the background is in the #container element - However, that doesnt work - I've tried putting the background on the ul#slider element - But that doesnt work either...
What i need is that the background will be slider as much as the liinside the slider...
Any suggestions on how to do that ?
You can see the project here: http://www.i-creative.dk/Slider/
thx
I've built something like what you're asking for, and it's a total pain.
The problem is, you're talking about having a different background image, the size of the page, for EVERY slide.
2 options are:
1: Have one BIG background image, with all the background aligned horizontally, and animate the css background-position when you change a div, to keep things matching. This ahs the advanatage that only one image needs to be downloaded, but it will be big.
Problems are: you see all the other images if you jump multiple steps at once;
it requires that you use a fixed width;
it's a pain if you want to change the background for just one slide;
Preload the background for the next slide on a div which is a sibling of container but has a higher z-index. Use jquery to slide this over the existing background, from the appropriate side.
The good thing about this method is that you can use css to make the background image always take up the full-width of the screen, or use a bigger imager and have it centred. See here: http://cksk.com for an example.
Long story short, you won't get this working with an off-the-shelf solution, you'll need to get your hands dirty.
Also, you'll need to spend a hell of a lot of time on optimisation.
Try this css...
#slider {
width: 472px; /* divided the width of the background image by 4 (# of panels) */
height: 570px;
list-style: none;
/* start background after the initial cloned panel: 472px to match panel width */
background: transparent url(../images/background.png) 472px 0 repeat-x;
}
/* This makes sure the last cloned panel background matches the first panel */
ul#slider li.clone {
background: transparent url(../images/background.png) 0 0 repeat-x !important;
}
/* Make the background visible */
div.anythingSlider .anythingWindow {
overflow: visible !important;
}
The only problem is that the width of the UL is limited, so when you get to the last panel, the background ends, but reappears once you hit the right arrow.
