At a road block with scroll section for my featured items on site

On my site I have a scroll section that will display watches and allow you to scroll on the section similar to what rolex does on their homepage. I created div container for the section and added a wrapper container that I was using to control the items. I also was trying to add arrows that can be used as an option to scroll just like how rolex does on theirs. Nothing is working. The items are there but the functionality isnt. Take a look at Rolex website and scroll down to their watches section on the home page. I want to do exactly that.
I tried adding JavaScript to make it functional but that did nothing for me. I even added a console.log() to see if anything would print in the browser console and got nothing. Please help.
// Select the left and right arrow buttons
const leftButton = document.querySelector('.arrow-button.left');
const rightButton = document.querySelector('.arrow-button.right');
// Select the watch items wrapper element
const watchItemsWrapper = document.querySelector('.watch-items-wrapper');
// Scroll the watch items wrapper element to the left or right when the arrow buttons are clicked
leftButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
watchItemsWrapper.scrollBy({
left: watchItemsWrapper.scrollLeft - 200, // Scroll 200 pixels to the left
behavior: 'smooth' // Use a smooth scroll transition
});
});
rightButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
watchItemsWrapper.scrollBy({
left: watchItemsWrapper.scrollLeft + 200, // Scroll 200 pixels to the right
behavior: 'smooth' // Use a smooth scroll transition
});
});

Add overflow: scroll to your .watch-items-wrapper:
.watch-items-wrapper {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: nowrap;
overflow: scroll;
}
You can remove the overflow: scroll; from your .watch-reel-container, it's not needed. If you want the container to span full width then add overflow: hidden to your .watch-reel-container.
Next adjust both your scroll functions as such:
Left:
leftButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
watchItemsWrapper.scrollBy({
left: -200,
behavior: 'smooth'
});
});
Right:
rightButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
watchItemsWrapper.scrollBy({
left: 200,
behavior: 'smooth'
});
});
I think this will give you the functionality you're looking for.
If you'd like to hide the scrollbar but keep the functionality, check our this doc from w3schools.
I hope this helps!

Flexbox inheritence issue

I am building a simple website. I have flex boxes full of "modules" which contain text content. When one of these modules is hovered over (using javascript code that is not included in this post because it works fine) I would like a "shade" to appear which darkens the entire module and displays a button. I am having a lot of trouble getting the shades to be the correct size: 100% of the width and height of each module. For some reason, height and width are not inherited from module to shade.
HTML:
<div class="support">
<div class="module">
<div class="shade">
<button type="button" class="source_btn">View Source</button>
</div>
<div class="content">
<h1>Homocide rates have skyrocketed in the United States.</h1>

</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
section .support {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
background: var(--bg);
height: 60vh;
}
.module {
flex: 1;
text-align: center;
height: inherit;
}
.module .content h1 {
margin-top: 5rem;
margin-bottom: 5rem;
font-size: 2.5rem;
}
.module .content p {
font-size: 1.5rem;
padding: 0 3rem 0 3rem;
}
.module .shade {
position: absolute;
background: rgba(0,0,0,.6);
}
.shade .source_btn {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
width: 20%;
height: 20%;
font-size: 2vw;
background: var(--background);
color: var(--accent);
border: 2px solid var(--accent);
border-radius: .5rem;
}
Note that if I change the .shade styling to:
.module .shade {
position: absolute;
background: rgba(0,0,0,.6);
width: 33.33333%;
height: 60vh;
}
I get the exact desired effect IF there are 3 modules. I believe this means that the width and height are inherited from elsewhere, and I do not know why. I need to be able to say width: 100% and height: 100% in the .shade styling to make the shade take up the entire module because there will be a different number of modules per support class.
I am very confused as to why the width and height are not being inherited as I would expect. Since .shade is a child of .module, why aren't the width and height inherited from the .module div?
If I can provide any additional information, please let me know. I will be active.

When you set absolute as a value for position, the parent of the element should have relative as a value for position. Otherwise, the child element can't measure the position and the size of its parent element.
Following css should work for you:
.module {
flex: 1;
text-align: center;
height: inherit;
position: relative;
}
.module .shade {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background: rgba(0,0,0,.6);
}

JS popup is not working on Safari (hide/show)

Simple popup with js is not working on IPhone and IPad
Tried to replace href="javascript:PopUpShow()" to onclick="PopUpShow()", but still the same, it works everywhere but Safari
click me
<div onclick="PopUpShow()"><i class="fas fa-phone"></i> </div>
<div class="b-popup" id="popup1">
<div class="b-popup-content">
<a class="b-popup-close" href="javascript:PopUpHide()">
<div class="col-md-4 col-12 padding-pop"> <div class="right-cont-pop" id="pop-hide"> close </a></div></div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 col-12 padding-pop"><i class="fas fa-phone"></i></div>
<div class="col-md-4 col-12 padding-pop"><i class="fas fa-phone"></i></div>
<div class="padding-pop-text">blabla i'm pop up</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This is my JS code
function PopUpShow(){
$("#popup1").show();
}
function PopUpHide(){
$("#popup1").hide();
}
And css
.b-popup .b-popup-content a{
color: #000;
font-weight: 500;}
.mobil-icons {
display: block;
right: 0px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 999;
padding-top: 10px;}
.b-popup{
display: none;
min-height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
position: fixed;
top: 0px;}
.b-popup .b-popup-content{
margin: 38px auto 0px auto;
width: 250px;
height: 250px;
padding: 10px;
background-color: #fff;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
right: 0;}
.b-popup-close {
color: #000;
font-weight: 500;
text-decoration: none;}
Please, help me to resolve this problem!

As it appears, the problem was not in JS at all. "display: flex;" made the whole popup absolutely invisible. I mean the popup was there the whole time, I tapped at the link on it! Just changed it to "block" and it appeared. But I have a question to Safari developers... WTF?

Add image below a certain class of element using css

What I want to do:
I want to add a "walkingMan" image under an element when its class is changed to activeCell. I know how to do it when the image is added to the front or back of the element using pseudo class, but as far as I know, there isn't something like :below that I can use to achieve the same effect. Is there a way in css I can use to micmic this?
What I have done:
I have added image below every upper cell and make it visible when the class is changed to activeCell. But I hope to find a more simple solution.
What it looks like:
Code: Simplified Code Example

You can use a single pseudo element on the .cell element and place a background image on it when it's active.
let activeIndex = 0;
const cells = [...document.querySelectorAll('.cell')];
setInterval(() => {
cells.forEach(cell => {
cell.classList.remove('activeCell')
});
cells[activeIndex].classList.add('activeCell');
activeIndex = activeIndex === cells.length - 1 ? 0 : (activeIndex + 1);
}, 300)
.cell {
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid black;
margin-bottom: 1.2em;
}
.activeCell {
background-color: lightgrey;
position: relative;
}
.activeCell::after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
width: 1em;
height: 1em;
top: 1.3em;
left: calc(50% - .5em); /* Center the stickman. Position it half of its width before the parent center*/
background-image: url('https://www.shareicon.net/data/512x512/2016/01/17/704754_people_512x512.png');

I've never been a fan of the ::before and ::after pseudo classes mainly because I've personally noticed some oddities when trying to position things in Chrome vs IE (damn it IE!). Since most people here are going to give a solution using these pseudo classes (because that's somewhat what you asked) I thought I'd give a different solution using flexbox and more divs.
Not the most optimal for download size but I do like that it's not absolute positioning elements and if the squares get bigger or smaller it's pretty easy to handle that as a scss variable at the top of the file. This all uses only two values, your padding between boxes and the size of the boxes so it should be easy to update and maintain.
Anyway, have fun! Awesome question by the way :-)
.blocks {
display: flex;
}
.block {
flex: 0 0 20px;
margin: 0px 5px;
display: flex;
flex-direction:column;
}
.block > .square {
flex: 0 0 20px;
margin: 5px 0px;
background: grey;
}
.block > .space {
flex: 0 0 20px;
margin: 5px 0px;
}
.block.activeCell > .space {
background: green;
}
<div class="blocks">

<div class="block"><div class="square"></div></div>
<div class="block"><div class="square"></div></div>
<div class="block"><div class="square"></div></div>
</div>

Using jQuery you can toggle the class upon clicking with this:
$('.cell').click(function() { //catch clicks on .cell
$('.cell').removeClass('activeCell'); //remove class "activeCell" from all
$(this).addClass('activeCell'); //add class "activeCell" to .cell clicked
});
Apply position: relative; to .top and .bottom:
.top,
.bottom {
position: relative;
}
And use the psuedoclass :before to create a image under the .activeCell
.activeCell:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
bottom: -20px;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background-image: url("https://www.shareicon.net/data/512x512/2016/01/17/704754_people_512x512.png");
background-size: 20px 20px;
}
And remove this:
.walkingMan {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
display: inline-block
}
And this:
<img src="https://www.shareicon.net/data/512x512/2016/01/17/704754_people_512x512.png" alt="walkingMan" class='walkingMan'/>
And to add space between the divs .top and .bottom put a <br> between them.
$('.cell').click(function() {
$('.cell').removeClass('activeCell');
$(this).addClass('activeCell');
});
.cell {
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid black;
cursor: pointer;
}
.top,
.bottom {
position: relative;
}
.activeCell {
background-color: lightgrey;
}
.activeCell:before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
bottom: -20px;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;

You can do something like this, using CSS only. With :target selector you can apply a style to the element you need to hide / show.
.container {
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
height: 200px;
}
.link {
display: block;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: #ccc;
}
.walking-man {
display: none;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
}
#p1:target {
display: block;
}
#p2:target {
display: block;
}
#p3:target {
display: block;
}
#p4:target {
display: block;
}
height: 90px;
float: left;
}
.walking-man img {
width: 100%;
}
.walkin-man:target {
display: block;
}
<div class="container">
<div id="p1" class="walking-man"></div>
</div>
<div class="container">
<div id="p2" class="walking-man"></div>
</div>
<div class="container">

I am really unhappy with this solution because on wide displays the second level of controls looks unnatural -- there is enough space to hold them all in one level.
The solution I currently have in my head consists of:
Measure the available width of the space I would like to take up.
Measure the width of each control I have.
Place as many controls as I can on the first line.
Append a second level if I run out of space.
Obviously it doesn't make sense to collapse to just 1 item per row -- I would be specifiying a min-width for my first level controls.
Is this the proper way to go about doing this? Or is there an easy way to express this using CSS/HTML?
Just as a visual helper I've attached below what my page looks like on a landscape monitor vs a portrait monitor.

Hm, I would use pure CSS for that:
<div id="controls">
<div> "Separated" </div>
<div> another control </div>
<div> and one with an icon </div>
...
</div>
#controls {
width: 100%;
min-width: 10em; /* or whatever */
/* implicit height: auto; */
overflow: hidden; /* to hide the leftmost borders */
}
#controls > div {
display: inline-block;
border-left: 1px solid blue;
padding: 1em 0;
margin: 1em -1px; /* move the borders 1px into the off */
}
This should give a scalable toolbar, and there is no need for different level-divs.
