I am new to using javascript and jquery so I'm having some problems figuring this one out.
I am trying to use the animate function in jquery to move a box from one corner to the next.
The box begins on the top-left corner of the screen and upon clicking the 'go' button, it will move to the next corner (top-right).
Clicking the same 'go' button then moves the box to the next corner (bottom-right).
Clicking the 'go' button once more will move it to the next corner (bottom-left).
Clicking the 'go' button once more will move it to the next corner (top-left, which is the start).
I've included a picture to show exactly what I mean by this:
What the program should do!
So, this is what I've got so far:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#go').click(function(){
var dest = parseInt($('#block').css('margin-left').replace('px', '')) + 100;
if (dest > 0) {
$('#block').animate({
marginLeft: '1800px'
}, 0 );
}
else {
$('#block').animate({
marginLeft: dest + 'px'
}, 0 );
}
});
});
#block {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
margin: 0px;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="block"></div>
<button id="go">» Run</button>
I've got the box to move to the top-right corner but cannot figure out how to make it now move down using the same button.
I've tried something with a toggle but it did not work. That looked something like this:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#go').click(function(){
var toggle = 1
if (toggle == 1){
$("#block").animate({left: "80px"});
toggle = 0;
} else{
$("#block").animate({right: "80px"});
toggle = 1;
}
});
I was thinking of maybe using cases to switch between which coordinates the button will move the box to. However, I have no knowledge of how this works with jquery and the animate function.
If anyone has any other ideas or knows how to use the case switches in this scenario, I would really appreciate it and thank you in advance!
P.S. I've tried searching this answer on here for a couple of hours now and have not found much that will help me. I am hoping this question will serve to help others who are having a similar problem to mine!
Please try this example:
$(document).ready(function () {
var leftValue = window.innerWidth - 115; // 115 is a temp value
var topValue = window.innerHeight - 115;
var actionNum = 0;
var movingBlock = $('#block');
$('#go').click(function () {
if (actionNum < 4) {
actionNum++;
} else {
actionNum = 1;
}
switch (actionNum) {
case 1:
// move to the top right
movingBlock.animate({
left: leftValue + 'px',
top: 0
}, 1000);
break;
case 2:
// move to the bottom right
movingBlock.animate({
left: leftValue + 'px',
top: topValue + 'px'
}, 1000);
break;
case 3:
// move to the left bottom
movingBlock.animate({
top: topValue + 'px',
left: 0
}, 1000);
break;
case 4:
// move to the top left
movingBlock.animate({
left: 0,
top: 0
}, 1000);
break;
default:
break;
}
});
});

There is a multi solution for your problem ,
So I suggest some simple solution , is that you pput position absolute to your div ,
then change (annimate) the left or top of this last after checking conditions ,
you can get top left position in Jquery using .position() funcion ,
See belwon Snippet (added , 1000 milisseconde in order to show annimation transition )
var widh_annimation = "400px";
var hieght_annimation = "100px";
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#go').click(function(){
var position = $("#block").position();
var annimation = {};
if(position.left == 0 && position.top == 0) {
annimation = { left:widh_annimation};
}else if(position.left > 0 && position.top == 0) {
annimation = { top:hieght_annimation};
}else if(position.left > 0 && position.top > 0) {
annimation = { left:"0"};
}else if(position.left == 0 && position.top > 0) {
annimation = { top:"0"};
}
$('#block').animate(annimation, 1000 );
});
});
#block {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
margin: 0px;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
position:absolute;
}
#go {
position:absolute;
}

I am using jquery function element.scrollTop() to get the current scroll position of the page using following line:
var currentScrollPosition= $('html').scrollTop() || $('body').scrollTop();
But it always return a value of previous scroll position. Please check the code below (which is same as is in here).
As you can try yourself and see in the code, after each tiny scroll, we get following series of values:
(1: when code is first run and no move is made yet)
delta:0
cumulativeDelta:0
functionCallCount:0
currentScrollPosition:0
(delta gives how much is scrolled, cumulativeDelta gives total amount of scroll, functionCallCount is how many times you scrolled and currentScrollPosition is value returned by scrolltop() )
(2: when scrolled a little)
delta:-120
cumulativeDelta:-120
functionCallCount:1
currentScrollPosition:0
(note here, currentScrollPosition is still not updated)
(3: when scrolled a little further)
delta:-120
cumulativeDelta:-240
functionCallCount:2
currentScrollPosition:90.90908893868948
(here, cumulativeDelta, which is addition of total scroll made so far, is doubled and currentScrollPosition is updated for the first time)
(4: when scrolled a little more)
delta:-120
cumulativeDelta:-360
functionCallCount:3
currentScrollPosition:181.81817787737896
(now, cumulativeDelta is tripled while currentScrollPosition is doubled. Hence, this is value after two scrolls but is updated adter 3 scrolls)
I apologize for long question, but would have been difficult to ask otherwise. I would like to know why is this happening and if I should use this function some other way there are any alternative to this function.
document.addEventListener("mousewheel", MouseWheelHandler);
var cumulativeDelta = 0,
functionCallCount = 0;
function MouseWheelHandler(e) {
e = window.event || e; // 'event' with old IE support
var delta = e.wheelDelta || -e.detail; // get delta value
cumulativeDelta += delta;
functionCallCount += 1;
currentScrollPosition = $('html').scrollTop() || $('body').scrollTop();
document.getElementById("info1").innerHTML = "delta:" + delta;
document.getElementById("info2").innerHTML = "cumulativeDelta:" + cumulativeDelta;
document.getElementById("info3").innerHTML = "functionCallCount:" + functionCallCount;
document.getElementById("info4").innerHTML = "currentScrollPosition:" + currentScrollPosition;
}
body {
height: 2000px;
border: solid red 3px;
}
.normalPart {
border: solid green 2px;
height: 900px;
}
.stationary {
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="stationary">
<div id="info1"></div>
<div id="info2"></div>
<div id="info3"></div>
<div id="info4"></div>
</div>
The issue is because the mousewheel event fires when the mousewheel movement starts. You are reading the scrollTop at the point before the update has happened. You need to use a timer to get the scrollTop after the mouse wheel scroll has finished. Try this:
document.addEventListener("mousewheel", MouseWheelHandler);
var cumulativeDelta = 0,
functionCallCount = 0,
currentScrollPosition = 0;
function MouseWheelHandler(e) {
e = window.event || e; // 'event' with old IE support
var delta = e.wheelDelta || -e.detail; // get delta value
cumulativeDelta += delta;
functionCallCount += 1;
setTimeout(function() {
currentScrollPosition = $(window).scrollTop();
document.getElementById("info4").innerHTML = "currentScrollPosition:" + currentScrollPosition;
}, 200); // update currentScrollPos 200ms after event fires
document.getElementById("info1").innerHTML = "delta:" + delta;
document.getElementById("info2").innerHTML = "cumulativeDelta:" + cumulativeDelta;
document.getElementById("info3").innerHTML = "functionCallCount:" + functionCallCount;
}
body {
height: 2000px;
border: solid red 3px;
}
.normalPart {
border: solid green 2px;
height: 900px;
}
.stationary {
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="stationary">
<div id="info1"></div>
<div id="info2"></div>
<div id="info3"></div>
<div id="info4"></div>
</div>
Alternatively you could read the currentScrollTop position directly on the scroll event of the window as that will always be in sync with its current position.
I would listen for the scroll event instead of wheel. Scroll activates after the scrollTop value has been updated.
target.onscroll = functionRef
Great example here
Please take a look at this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/dhcyA/
Try clicking on a block. What I want is that when the other elements disapear, the selected block will animate/ease to his giving position instead of just jumping like it does now. Then the same animation repeats itself when clicking again on the box, but then back to place.
Maybe to keep in mind:
I'm using a reponsive design, which means those blocks can be vertical and horizontal after scaling the window.
Any redevisions on the fiddle or suggustions would be great!
Here is my solution.
On your existing markup, I added a wrapper division to calculate the position of boxes inside the wrapper. Like this
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="block">
<h2>I'm block 1</h2>
</div>
....
</div>
To maintain the fluidness of the block, I created a function to position the block on the wrapper. Here is the function for position of the blocks:
var reposition = function() {
wrapper = $("#wrapper");
console.log(wrapper.innerWidth());
pLeft = 0;
pTop = 0;
maxRowHeight = 0;
$(".block").each(function(){
if($(this).data('active')) {
$(this).data('top', pTop);
$(this).data('left', pLeft);
} else {
$(this).stop(0,0).animate({
'top' : pTop + 'px',
'left' : pLeft + 'px'
});
}
pLeft += $(this).outerWidth() + parseInt($(this).css('marginLeft'));
if($(this).height() > maxRowHeight) maxRowHeight = $(this).outerHeight() + parseInt($(this).css('marginTop')); //Find out the longest block on the row
if(pLeft + $(this).next().outerWidth() + parseInt($(this).next().css('marginLeft')) >= wrapper.innerWidth()) {
pLeft = 0;
pTop += maxRowHeight;
maxRowHeight = 0;
}
});
};
Finally, the script to toggle the block
$(".block").click(function() {
$(this).siblings().slideToggle('slow'); //Toggle other blocks
if(!$(this).data('active')){ //if the block is not active
$(this).data('left', $(this).position().left); //sets its left
$(this).data('top', $(this).position().top); // and top position
$(this).animate({ //animate at the top and bottom
top:0,
left:0
},'slow');
$(this).data('active',true);
}else{
$(this).animate({ //animate to its last known position
top:$(this).data('top'),
left:$(this).data('left')
},'slow');
$(this).data('active',false);
}
});
Demos
Demo[Full] (Resize this to see the fluidness maintained)
Demo[Full] (version showing variable heights)
Here is what this solutions gives:
Remembers the last position and gradually animate to/from this position
Block positions are calculated and animated on load and every resize
Repositioning happens on $(window).resize() thus maintaining the fluid nature of the block, despite the use of position absolute
Support variable heights
Minor change on existing markup & CSS
Also fixed two issues extended by Gaby
Accounts for each block margin independently
Recalculates the position of the element after resize
Final Update
Here is a full working solution (pretty straight forward in my opinion) with JS to set the positioning (a simple calculation) and CSS transitions for the rest..
Demo at http://jsfiddle.net/gaby/pYdKB/3/
It maintains the fluidity of float:left and works with any number of elements, and you can keep the :nth-child for the styling, and it will also work if you want to leave more than one element visible..
javascript
var wrapper = $('.wrapper'),
boxes = wrapper.children(),
boxWidth = boxes.first().outerWidth(true),
boxHeight = boxes.first().outerHeight(true);
function rePosition(){
var w = wrapper.width(),
breakat = Math.floor( w / boxWidth ); // calculate fluid layout, just like float:left
boxes
.filter(':not(.go)')
.each(function(i){
var matrixX = ((i)%breakat)+1,
matrixY = Math.ceil((i+1)/breakat);
$(this).css({
left:(matrixX-1) * boxWidth ,
top: (matrixY-1) * boxHeight
});
});
}
$('.box').click(function(){
$(this)
.siblings()
.toggleClass('go');// just add the go class, and let CSS handle the rest
rePosition(); // recalculate final positions and let CSS animate the boxes
});
$(window).resize(rePosition);
$(window).trigger('resize');
CSS
.wrapper{
position:relative;
}
.box{
width:200px;
height:100px;
position:absolute;
margin:5px;
cursor:pointer;
overflow:hidden;
text-align: center;
line-height: 100px;
-moz-transition-property: top,left,width,height;
-webkit-transition-property: top,left,width,height;
-ms-transition-property: top,left,width,height;
-o-transition-property: top,left,width,height;
transition-property: top,left,width,height;
-moz-transition-duration: 1s;
-webkit-transition-duration: 1s;
-ms-transition-duration: 1s;
-o-transition-duration: 1s;
transition-duration: 1s;
}
.go{
height:0;
width:0;
}
note: As #Athari correctly mentioned in the comments, you should include all browser prefixes for the widest support. (my initial answer only included moz / webkit and the standard)
Original Answer
You can not do it directly with your current HTML structure. The floated concept does not support it.
But if you can afford an extra wrapper, then it is no problem..
Just slide the contents of your extra wrapper element..
Put the float code on the wrapper element and use
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".block-wrapper").click(function() {
$(this).siblings().find('.block').slideToggle("slow");
});
});

Update #1
If you need to move the clicked element to the top left and back, then you cannot really do it with CSS.
You will need to manually position them (through JS), set CSS transitions (or jquery), and apply the new positions once you click.
Later on you might want more than one to remain visible and reposition as well..
So you might want to take a look at the great Isotope plugin which can handle this and a multitude of more situations/layouts
Here is my version:
http://jsfiddle.net/selbh/dhcyA/92/
(only javascript is changed, and it's responsive)
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".block").click(function() {
var $this = $(this);
var pos = $this.offset();
var $siblings = $(this).siblings().add(this);
var marginTop = $this.css('marginTop').replace(/[^-\d\.]/g, '');
var marginLeft = $this.css('marginLeft').replace(/[^-\d\.]/g, '');
var $clone = $this.clone();
$siblings.slideToggle("slow");
$clone.css({
position: 'absolute',
left: pos.left - marginLeft,
top: pos.top - marginTop,
'background-color': $this.css('background-color')
});
$('body').append($clone);
$this.css('opacity', 0);
$clone.animate({
'left': 0,
'top': 0
});
$clone.click(function() {
$siblings.slideToggle("slow", function() {
$clone.remove();
$this.css('opacity', 1);
});
$clone.animate({
left: pos.left - marginLeft,
top: pos.top - marginTop
});
});
});
});
I'm kind of sleepy(It's 2:30 AM here) so I leave the half done answer here to give you an idea (I did it in 30 minutes so I guess with 30 minutes more you can get something really nice)
http://jsfiddle.net/LuL2s/2/
The trick comes by the block-holder which make the ease animation and making a difference between when they appear and disappear
JS
$(document).ready(function() {
var open = true;
$(".block").click(function() {
var $this = $(this);
var count = 0;
if (open) {
$this.parent().siblings().children().slideToggle("slow", function(){
if (count++ == 2) {
$this.parent().siblings().animate({width: 'toggle', height:'toggle'});
}
});
} else {
$this.parent().siblings().animate({width: 'toggle', height:'toggle'}, function(){
if (count++ == 2) {
$this.parent().siblings().children().slideToggle("slow");
}
});
}
open = !open;
});
});
HTML
<div class="block-holder">
<div class="block">
<h2>I'm block 1</h2>
</div>
</div>
<div class="block-holder">
<div class="block">
<h2>I'm block 2</h2>

text-align: center;
line-height: 100px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.block-holder:nth-child(1) .block {
background: green;
}
.block-holder:nth-child(2) .block {
background: red;
}
.block-holder:nth-child(3) .block {

margin: 20px;
}
Great Challenge!
New Version:
Here is a much better version as it makes the blocks stay in their rows. I added a css function so that your nth-child styles could be applied even in the rows. Even maintains same HTML Structure.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/MadLittleMods/fDDZB/23/
The jQuery for this new revision looks like:
$('.block').on('click', function() {
var block = $(this);
// Keep the blocks in line
makeRows($('body'));
$('.block').not(this).each(function() {
// If sibling on the same level, horizontal toggle
// We also want ignore the toggleMethod if it is shown because we might need to reassign
if (($(this).position().top == block.position().top && (($(this).data('toggle') == -1) || $(this).data('toggle') == null)) || ($(this).data('toggle') != -1 && $(this).data('toggleMethod') == 'side'))
{
$(this).data('toggleMethod', 'side');
// Hide block
if ($(this).data('toggle') == -1 || $(this).data('toggle') == null)
{
// Set properties for later use in show block
$(this).data('overflowBefore', $(this).css('overflow'));
$(this).css('overflow', 'hidden');
$(this).data('marginBefore', $(this).css('margin'));
var width = $(this).width();
$(this).animate({
width: 0,
margin: 0
}, function() {
$(this).data('toggle', width);
});
}
// Show block
else
{
$(this).css('overflow', $(this).data('overflowBefore'));
$(this).animate({
width: $(this).data('toggle'),
margin: $(this).data('marginBefore')
}, function() {
$(this).data('toggle', -1);
});
}
}
// Do a normal vertical toggle
else
{
$(this).data('toggleMethod', 'top');
$(this).slideToggle('slow');
}
});
});
// Make rows to make the blocks in line
function makeRows(container)
{
// Make rows so that the elements stay where they should
var containerWidth = container.width();
var currentRowWidth = 0;
// Add styles first so nothing gets messed up
container.children().each(function() {
var itemCSS = css($(this));
$(this).css(itemCSS);
});
// Now assemble the rows
container.children().each(function() {
var blockWidth = $(this).outerWidth() + parseInt($(this).css('margin-left')) + parseInt($(this).css('margin-right'));
if((currentRowWidth + blockWidth) < containerWidth)
{
currentRowWidth += blockWidth;
}
else
{
Array.prototype.reverse.call($(this).prevUntil('.row')).wrapAll('<div class="row"></div>');
$(this).prev().append('<div class="row_clear" style="clear: both;"></div>');
currentRowWidth = 0;
}
});
}
// Remove the rows added
function deleteRows()
{
var content = $('.row').contents()
$('.row').replaceWith(content);
$('.row_clear').remove();
}
$(window).resize(function() {
deleteRows();
});
// Functions courtesy of marknadal
// https://stackoverflow.com/a/5830517/796832
function css(a)
{
var sheets = document.styleSheets, o = {};
for(var i in sheets) {
var rules = sheets[i].rules || sheets[i].cssRules;
for(var r in rules) {
if(a.is(rules[r].selectorText)) {
o = $.extend(o, css2json(rules[r].style), css2json(a.attr('style')));
}
}
}
return o;
}
function css2json(css)
{
var s = {};
if(!css) return s;
if(css instanceof CSSStyleDeclaration) {
for(var i in css) {
if((css[i]).toLowerCase) {
s[(css[i]).toLowerCase()] = (css[css[i]]);
}
}
} else if(typeof css == "string") {
css = css.split("; ");
for (var i in css) {
var l = css[i].split(": ");
s[l[0].toLowerCase()] = (l[1]);
};
}
return s;
}
I added a makeRows and deleteRows functions so that the blocks would stay in their rows instead of getting smaller and moving into the row above. I call deleteRows whenever the window resizes so that it can maintain a responsive layout. Then if the blocks need to be toggled, I recreate the rows.
css and css2json functions are courtesy of marknadal
Old version:
I came up with a solution with .animate so that it could ease horizontally.
Here is a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/MadLittleMods/fDDZB/8/
The jQuery looks like:
$('.block').on('click', function() {
var block = $(this);
$(this).siblings().each(function() {
// If sibling on the same level, horizontal toggle
// We also want ignore the toggleMethod if it is shown because we might need to reassign
if (($(this).position().top == block.position().top && ($(this).data('toggle') == -1) || $(this).data('toggle') == null) || ($(this).data('toggle') != -1 && $(this).data('toggleMethod') == 'side'))
{
$(this).data('toggleMethod', 'side');
// Hide block
if ($(this).data('toggle') == -1 || $(this).data('toggle') == null)
{
// Set properties for later use in show block
$(this).data('overflowBefore', $(this).css('overflow'));
$(this).css('overflow', 'hidden');
$(this).data('marginBefore', $(this).css('margin'));
var width = $(this).width();
$(this).animate({
width: 0,
margin: 0
}, function() {
$(this).data('toggle', width);
});
}
// Show block
else
{
$(this).css('overflow', $(this).data('overflowBefore'));
$(this).animate({
width: $(this).data('toggle'),
margin: $(this).data('marginBefore')
}, function() {
$(this).data('toggle', -1);
});
}
}
// Do a normal vertical toggle
else
{
$(this).data('toggleMethod', 'top');
$(this).slideToggle('slow');
}
});
});
The key was to separate the blocks that were toggled with .slideToggle and .animate because you have to apply the same when they show and hide.
So, I'm trying to make an animation in JavaScript (I want a navigation bar to pull down when I click it). The problem is that every time I click this navigation bar, it only moves down one pixel. How do I make it to where I can make the "Move" function repeat over and over so that it realizes the navigation bar is below "0", and move it up? Here's the code I have atm:
var i = -43 //original position of div
function Move(x)
{
if (i < 0)
{
i++;
x.style.top = i + "px";
}
}
function setPosition(x)
{
setInterval(Move(x), 500);
}
P.S. I have the "div onclick" equal to "setInterval(this)"
I would use a setTimeout() (so you don't have to worry about canceling the setInterval()), and note the use of an anonymous function (function(){}) for the first argument of the setTimeout() call:
#slider {
position: absolute;
top: -43px;
left: 200px;
width: 200px;
height: 50px;
border: 1px solid blue;
background: #dff;
}
<div id='slider'>This is a slidout</div>
<div id="clicker">Click me!</div>
var slider = document.getElementById('slider'),
clicker = document.getElementById('clicker');
clicker.onclick = function(){
Move(slider, -43);
};
function Move(x, i)
{
if (i < 0)
{
i++;
x.style.top = i + "px";
setTimeout(function(){
Move(x, i);
}, 50);
}
}
http://jsfiddle.net/h2C3A/
This is a function thats supposed to move an image slowly to the right, it isnt working... what did i mess up?
<script type="text/javascript">
var userWidth = window.screen.width;
function moveRight(id, speed) {
var pp = document.getElementById(id);
var right = parseInt(pp.style.left);
var tim = setTimeout("moveRight(id, speed)",50);
right = right+speed; // move
if (right > window.screen.height / 2)
{
right=0;
pp.style.left = right+"px";
}
}
</script>
Looks like id and speed aren't getting passed into moveRight(). When they're in the string as you have them they won't get evaluated. Have a look at this, it seems to do the trick. I stripped it down a little.
<div id="test" style="width: 50px; height: 50px; left: 0px; background-color: #000; position: absolute;"> </div>
<script type="text/javascript">
