I basically want the browser to trigger a function when a section touches the top of the viewport as the user scrolls and I'm not really sure how to do this with Vanilla JS.
I've found some jQuery alternatives, but I'm just trying to figure out how Javascript works at the moment, so I'm not exactly sure where to begin or what to google for that matter.
The following example creates a page with a single div inside.
The scroll event handler uses Element.getBoundingClientRect() in order to get the div's position relative to the viewport and logs a msg to the console when the div is at or above the top edge of the viewport.
var handlerFired;
window.addEventListener('scroll', function(e){
var containerTop = document.querySelector('.container').getBoundingClientRect().top;
if (containerTop <= 0) {
if (!handlerFired) {
handlerFired = 1;
console.log('container at top of viewport or above');
}
}
if (containerTop > 0) {
handlerFired = 0;
}
});
body{
height:2000px;
}
.container{
width:300px;
height:200px;
border:5px solid red;
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
}

I'm using JQuery to have my .wrapper div snap back to its original margin-top after being moved to margin-top. The original margin-top is dependent on browser height. I'm trying to do this by storing the original margin-top value into a variable, and using it for JQuery animate when I want to .wrapper div to snap back later on.
$(document).ready(function() {
//Adjust .wrapper Margin-top to adjust position to 1/4 of Window Broswer Height
var marginWindowSpace = ($(window).height()) / 4;
$(".wrapper").css("margin-top", marginWindowSpace);
var originalMargin = $(".wrapper").css("margin-top").toString();
});
$(".title").click(function() {
$("#results-container").empty();
$(".wrapper").animate({
'margin-top': originalMargin
}, 200);
$(".title-tag, .or, .random-article, .random-article-underline").fadeIn(500);
$("footer").addClass("footer-pos1");
});
QUESTION: Why wont my the animate margin-top accept my variable (where the original margin-top value is stored), even when converted to string? I don't want to use a static value as my margin-top.
If you want to see the app code, it's here. http://codepen.io/myleschuahiock/pen/zqvvNZ
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
EDIT: I changed the click function to $('.go-back'), but the animate for magin-top should still be the same
Move the whole $(".title").click(function(){}) into the $(document).ready(function(){})
The problem exists because at the time of the initialisation of the $(".title").click(function(){}) originalMargin is not set yet because the document is not ready yet.
Do like this. there are some errors in your animate part.margin-top should be correct as marginTop and your string should convert as int and do like this.I implement as an example.hope this will help to you.

});
});
</script>

</html>
note :
var one = $(".testing").css("margin-top").toString();
int this part get the margin-top value as a string.
var vaL = parseInt(one,10);
convert it to an integer.
then the animate part
$(".two").animate({'marginTop':vaL+'px'},1000);
I want to start page at the center horizontally and vertically when it had loaded (not at top), anyone any suggestions? Or at a specific height if that is possible. Thank you!
You can Do it like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(window).scrollTop($(window).height()/2);
$(window).scrollLeft($(window).width()/2);
});
You can change the position to what suit your needs.
Also you can use $(window).scrollTo($(window).width()/2, $(window).height()/2);
not sure what you are asking but have you tried relative coordinates ?
like >>
/*i put this all css selector for canceling all margins, paddings so i can remove default browser prefereces for the same*/
/*border box is just that any size od div is not changed after addinational padding*/
*{margin:0;padding:0;box-sizing:border-box;}
body{
position:absolute;
width:100%;height:100%;
background-color:red;
padding-top:10%;
padding-left:10%;
padding-right:10%;
padding-bottom:10%;
}
centerd{
/*relative dimensions wont work if not display:block;*/
display:block;
width:100%;height:100%;
background-color:blue;
}

for more information visit : it is cool way to know enough about html, css, javascript etc.
Although not sure if this is what you are looking for:
To center a container (a DIV element say) horizontally, give it a fixed width and auto left and right margins in CSS:
div#container
{ width: 1024px; /* a fixed width container */
border: thin solid green; /* debug, to see */
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
then an anonymous JavaScript function to center a container vertically after load using its margin-top property:
function ()
{ var e = document.getElementById("container");
var eHeight = e.offsetHeight;
var clientHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
var marginTop = 0;
if(clientHeight > eHeight)
{ marginTop = (clientHeight - eHeight) >> 1; // integer divide by 2
}
e.style.marginTop = marginTop + "px";
}
added to the page using jQuery's ready() function for the window, and HTML
<div id="container">
hello this is page content
</div>
centers a container element in the viewport where possible
Old question but I just use:
function Scrolldown() {
window.scroll(250, 400);
}
window.onload = Scrolldown;
I want to make the last/third div to be filled the whole remaining space. I given the 100% height but there is scroll bar is coming, which i dont want to show. I there any CSS solution for same. if not possible from css then the jQuery/JS solution will be fine.
<html style="height:100%">
<head>
<style type="css">
html , body {
width:100%; height:100%;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body style="height:100%;padding:0px;margin:0px;">
<div style="height:100%;width:100%">
<div style="height:100px;background-color:#ddd"> </div>
<div style="height:25px;background-color:#eee"> </div>
<div style="display:block;height:100%;background-color:#ccc"> </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
In jQuery, you can try something like this:
$(function() {
$(window).resize(function() {
$('div:last').height($(window).height() - $('div:last').offset().top);
});
$(window).resize();
});
Whenever the window is resized, the last div's height is modified so that the div extends to the bottom of the page. Window's resize method is called on page load so that the div is resized immediately.
If you substract the top offset of the div from the height of the window, you are left with the maximum height available. If you have margins, borders of padding applied, you might have to adjust the value which is substracted, for example:
$('div:last').height($(window).height() - $('div:last').offset().top - 30);
Assuming you want the div 30px from the bottom of the window.
On modern browsers: set position: relative on the container div, position: absolute on the third div. Then you can position it to the top and bottom of the container the same time: top: 0px, bottom: 0px;
You could also use faux columns by adding a vertically repeating background image to the CSS making the columns appear toy the space - this gives the appear. You could add this image to the div that wraps the three columns or to the body tag.
If these columns a going to have content in them it's probably worth adding some as the columns will behave differently.
You can hide the overflow in the containing DIV:
<html>
<head>
<style>
*{margin:0;padding:0;}
html,body{height:100%;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div style="overflow:hidden;height:100%">
<div style="height:100px;background-color:#ddd"></div>
<div style="height:25px;background-color:#eee"></div>
<div style="height:100%;background-color:#ccc"> </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Note that content might dissapear when resizing the window using this technique.
You can use pure CSS height:100% (where 100% is the height of the visible area in the window) values in quirks mode by not using DOCTYPE at all or using IE-faulty HTML 4.0 DOCTYPE (without the .dtd url)
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<body style="margin:0; padding:0; overflow:hidden;">
<div style="height: 100%; background: red"></div>
</body>
</html>
You can ditch the <!DOCTYPE.. entirely, it still would have the same effect. overflow:hidden declaration in body style is to get rid of the empty scrollbar in IE. But remember - this is quirks mode which means that you are on unpredictable territory, CSS box model differs from browser to browser!
html style="height:100%">
<head>
<style type="css">
html , body {
width:100%;
height:100%;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body style="height:100%;padding:0px;margin:0px;">
<div style="height:100%;">
<div style="height:100px;background-color:#ddd"> </div>
<div style="height:25px;background-color:#eee"> </div>
<div style="position:fixed;top:125px;height:100%;width:100%;background-color:#ccc"> </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Perhaps this could work?! But I don't know whats happens if there is to mutch text...
Simply don't worry about it if your goal is to have the colour fill the bottom.
Set the colour of the outer div, and let the third one resize its height however it wants as content goes in.
<html style="height:100%">
<head>
<style type="css">
html , body {
width:100%; height:100%;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body style="height:100%;padding:0px;margin:0px;">
<div style="height:100%;width:100%;background-color:#ccc">
<div style="height:100px;background-color:#ddd"> </div>
<div style="height:25px;background-color:#eee"> </div>
<div style=""> </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The property 'height: 100%;' will instruct browsers to take the 100 per cent of the available screen space for that particular div, which means that your browser will check the browsing space size and return it to the CSS engine without checking whether there are any elements inside it.
The only workaround that I see to fit here is to use the solution provided by David to use 'position: absolute; bottom: 0;' for that div.
it a bit ugly, but it works..
<html style="height:100%">
<head>
<style type="css">
html , body {
width:100%;
height:100%;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body style="height:100%;padding:0px;margin:0px;">
<div style="width:100%;height:100%;">
<div style="width:100%;height:100px;background-color:#ddd;"> </div>
<div style="width:100%;height:25px;background-color:#eee;"> </div>
<div style="width:100%;height:100%;background-color:#ccc;margin-bottom:-1000em;padding-bottom:1000em;"> </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Here's a litle jquery fix I have done:
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<script src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var heightToFill = $("#parentDiv").height() - $("#firstDiv").height() - $("#secondDiv").height();
$("#thirdDiv").height(heightToFill);
});
</script>
</head>
<body style="height: 100%; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">
<div id="parentDiv" style="height: 100%; width: 100%; position:absolute;">
<div id="firstDiv" style="height: 100px; background-color: #ddd">
</div>
<div id="secondDiv" style="height: 25px; background-color: #eee">
</div>
<div id="thirdDiv" style="background-color: #ccc;">
a</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
$(window).resize(function(){
$('.elastic').each(function(i,n){
var ph = $(this).parent().height();
var pw = $(this).parent().width();
var sh = 0;
var s = $(this).siblings().each(function(i,n){
sh += $(this).height();
})
$(this).height(ph-sh);
sh = 0, ph = 0, s=0;
});
});
put the following on on your script tag or external javascript.
then change
when you resize the window... it will automatically fit its height to available space on the bottom. you could have as many divs as you like however you can only have one elastic inside that parent. couldnt be bothered to calculate multiple elastics :) hope it helps
$(document).ready(function() {
var heightToFill = $("#parentDiv").height() - $("#firstDiv").height() - $("#secondDiv").height();
$("#thirdDiv").height(heightToFill);
$(window).resize(function(){ var heightToFill = $("#parentDiv").height() - $("#firstDiv").height() - $("#secondDiv").height();
$("#thirdDiv").height(heightToFill);
});
This should be included in case the browser is resized....
window.onload = setHeight
window.onresize = setHeight
function setHeight() {
document.getElementById('app').style.height = window.innerHeight + "px"
}
I have an odd situation in which I need to modify the position of a draggable element as soon as the user starts dragging it. So, during the draggable element's start event handler, I'm trying to set the position. It doesn't respond to the position change unless - and this is weird - I do something to cause a javascript error after I change the position. Here's an example:
<html>
<head>
<title>Drag reposition test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/css_browser_selector.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="development-bundle/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="development-bundle/ui/jquery-ui-1.7.1.custom.js"></script> <!-- Includes JQuery UI Draggable. -->
<style type="text/css">
#draggable { width: 150px; height: 150px; padding: 0.5em; }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#initialdragger").draggable({
start: function(e, ui) {
$('#initialdragger').css('top', 400);
x = y; // Javascript error, which weirdly causes a redraw.
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="initialdragger" class="ui-widget-content" style="border-width: 1px; border-color: black; background-color: orange; width: 300px">
<p>Drag me around</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
How can I legitimately cause a redraw to happen in this context? JQuery's hide() and show() don't work and neither do these methods.
I think binding a mousedown event will get you what you want
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#initialdragger").draggable();
$('#initialdragger').bind("mousedown", function(e) {
$(this).css('top', 400);
});
});
</script>
