Please feel free to change the heading if you think I've worded it wrong.
General
I'm running a wordpress site with multilingual control. And my menu/navigation is dynamic, controlled via the wordpress admin. The multilingual language plugin also changes the dynamic menu/navigation content, as well as page content.
My Contact button, which is in the dynamic navigation, opens a sliding menu using jQuery. Very simple animation using top css. The contact button is on the page twice, hence why I'm not using the .toggle for iterations. See jsFiddle.
Script
var $button = $(".contact-button"),
// var for button which controls sliding div
$slide = $("#content-slide");
// var for the div which slides up and down
$button.on('click', function () {
// function for when button is clicked
if ($button.html() == 'Close') {
// run this if button says 'Close'
$slide.stop().animate({ top: "-269px" }, 300);
// close slide animation
$button.html('Contact');
// change text back to 'Contact'
} else {
// else if button says Contact or anything else
$slide.stop().animate({ top: "0" }, 300);
// open slide animation
$button.html('Close');
// change text to 'Close'
}
});
Problem
Because I'm running multilingual on the site. The navigation spelling changes. See jsFiddle flag buttons for example. This is fine, the animation still runs OK, because it's using the button class 'contact-button'.
But because I'm using the .html to replace the text of the button to "Close" and then on the second iteration, back to "Contact" - obviously this is a problem for other languages, as it always changes to English 'close' and back to English 'Contact'
But my three languages and words that I need the iterations to run through are...
Contact - Close
Contatto - Cerca
Contacto - Chiudere
Can anyone help me expand my script to accommodate three languages, all my attempts have failed. The jsFiddle has the script.
The language functionality in the fiddle is only for demo purposes, so the iteration sequence can be tested from the beginning. I understand if you change the language whilst the menu is open (in the fiddle), it will confused it. But when the language is changed on my site, the whole page refreshes, which closes the slide and resets the sequence. So it does not matter.
Any pro help would be awesome thanks!!!
MY POOR ATTEMPT, BUT YOU CAN SEE WHAT I'M TRYING TO ACHIEVE
var $button = $(".contact-button"),
// Var for button which controls sliding div
$slide = $("#content-slide");
// Var for the div which slides up and down
$button.on('click', function () {
// function for when button is clicked
if ($button.html() == 'Close' || 'Cerca'|| 'Chiudere' ) {
// run this if button says Close or Cerca or Chiudere
$slide.stop().animate({ top: "-269px" }, 300);
// Close slide animation
$(function () {
if ($button.html(== 'Close') {
$button.html('Contact'); }
else if ($button.html(== 'Cerca') {
$button.html('Contatto'); }
else ($button.html(== 'Chiudere') {
$button.html('Contacto'); }
});
// Change text back to Contact in correct language
} else {
// else if button says Contact or anything else
$slide.stop().animate({ top: "0" }, 300);
// Open slide animation
$(function () {
if ($button.html(== 'Contact') {
$button.html('Close'); }
else if ($button.html(== 'Contatto') {
$button.html('Cerca'); }
else ($button.html(== 'Contacto') {
$button.html('Chiudere'); }
});
// Change text back to Close in the correct language
}
});
See my attempt script above which is not working on this jsFiddle.
Here's a working example: http://jsfiddle.net/Qh8fL/2/
When one of the language buttons gets clicked, it stores the strings for Contact and Close using jQuery's .data() method. Then, when the contact/close button gets clicked, it refers to those strings rather than having it hard-coded.
Here are the relevant lines of code:
$("#english").click(function() {
$(".contact-button").html('Contact').data('langTxt',{contact:'Contact',close:'Close'});
});
$("#spanish").click(function() {
$(".contact-button").html('Contatto').data('langTxt',{contact:'Contatto',close:'Close'});
});
$("#italian").click(function() {
$(".contact-button").html('Contacto').data('langTxt',{contact:'Contacto',close:'Close'});
});
if ($button.html() == 'Close') {
//...
$button.html($button.data('langTxt').contact);
} else {
//...
$button.html($button.data('langTxt').close);
}
All you need to do to modify the "close" text appropriately is by editing the close property inside the calls to data() that occur in each of the click events.
You should never depend on label strings ... especially in a multilingual environment. Instead you should use placeholders that you store in an attribute (maybe using .data()). Then you write your own setters for the labels depending on the value of the attribute.
var myLabels = {'close': ['Close', 'Cerca', 'Chiudere'], 'contact' : ['Contact', 'Contatto', 'Contacto']};
var currLang = 2; // to select italian
....
// to set the label
$button.data('mylabel', 'close');
$button.html(myLabels['close'][currLang]);
....
if($button.data('mylabel') == 'close') {
$button.data('mylabel', 'contact');
$button.html(myLabels['contact'][currLang]);
} else {
$button.data('mylabel', 'close');
$button.html(myLabels['close'][currLang]);
}

I am making a new website. As is what I'm doing is a gallery of videos by clicking shows me a video in modal, in total only shows me 1 large video with text and small 3 videos below where you can display more items. I need you to click show me more out a new row with 3 computer elements by al-md-4 columns. This step I have done but I have 2 problems:
Default with Javascript shows me 2 rows instead of just one, will define in the JS 1 and showing me appear 2
I also wish there was another button to "hide" and was hiding whenever I click a row.
Then I attached the complete code to where I could do.

Need help!!
Thank you so much! Greetings from Spain
Here is my fiddle
And JS:
$('.mydata:gt(0)').hide().last().after(
$('<a />').attr('href','#').attr('id','btn_less').text('Show less').click(function(){
var a = this;
$('.mydata:visible:gt(0)').last().fadeOut(function(){
if ($('.mydata:visible:gt(0)').length == 0) {
$(a).hide();
} else if($("#btn_more:not(:visible)")){
$("#btn_more").show();
}
});
return false;
})
).after($('<span />').text(' ')
).after(
$('<a />').attr('href','#').attr('id','btn_more').text('Show more').click(function(){
var a = this;
$('.mydata:not(:visible):lt(1)').fadeIn(function(){
if ($('.mydata:not(:visible)').length == 0) {
$(a).hide();
} else if($("#btn_less:not(:visible)")){
$("#btn_less").show();
}
}); return false;
}));
Tell me if I misunderstood you and you need something else.
So I have a photo gallery on my front page that switches between two images; each image links to a different page. Now, beside that gallery I have two links that go to the same two pages. The idea is that when image A is showing, side-link A should be highlighted with a border. The issue I keep running into is that once I get either side-link to be highlighted, I don't really know how to get it unhighlighted. Instead of switching with the images, they just stay highlighted.
var debugLink = "#firstLink";
function displayNextImage()
{
index++;
if(index >= indexgalpics.length)
{
index=0;
}
//---this is where I set the var debugLink which is
// supposed to carry the selected linke
if(index == 0)
{
console.log("first link selected");
//---when image A is showing, top side-link should be highlighted
//---ok so we know this much works, it seems these double equal
// signs are very important here.
//---makeActive();
//---but once makeActive() is called here, it makes the first link
// active for the entire time.
//---we can't put the entire style code here because same as before,
// it just keeps the link highlighted forever
debugLink = "#firstLink";
//---ok so i can set a var at top to a value in the makeActive() function,
// but i think the way JS works highlights either one forever
debugLink = "#firstLink";
}
else if(index == 1)
{
console.log("second link should be selected");
//---when image B is showing, bottom side-link should be highlighted
debugLink = "#secondLink";
}
showImg();
}
function makeActive()
{
var activeLink = document.querySelector(debugLink);
//---adds style to the debugLink
}
The function makeActive() is called in the function showImg(), and the function displayNextImage() is called in another function that sets the timer.
I changed your approach a little bit by using a boolean for the index, because you seem to only need two states.
Here is a revised version:
Note: In this code, I've used custom-made functions to make the code easier to read. I created hasClass(el,class), addClass(el,class), removeClass(el,class), toggleClass(el,class,bool). You can find them in the final JS Fiddle.
// Register the link elements
var links = {
true : document.getElementById('firstLink'),
false : document.getElementById('secondLink')
},
// Keep track of selected link (replaces your 'index')
leftLinkActive = false,
// Just so you don't go get it every time
gallery = document.getElementById('gallery');
// Let's trigger the gallery
displayNextImage();
// We'll change the active link and show the correct image
function displayNextImage(){
leftLinkActive = !leftLinkActive;
if(leftLinkActive){ console.log("first link selected"); }
else{ console.log("second link selected"); }
makeActive();
showImg();
// Let's do that again in 2 seconds
setTimeout(displayNextImage,2000);
}
// Add / remove the active class
function makeActive(){
addClass( links[ leftLinkActive ], 'active-class');
removeClass( links[ !leftLinkActive ], 'active-class');
}
// Change the image with a small fadeOut transition
function showImg(){
addClass(gallery,'fadeOut');
setTimeout(function(){
// Here we switch from img1 and img2
gallery.style.backgroundImage = 'url('+(leftLinkActive?'im1.jpg':'im2.jpg')+')';
removeClass(gallery,'fadeOut');
},200);
}
JS Fiddle Demo
I have this simple code which shows 3 items
When I press the header ($(".fileHeader")) , it should open then next element which is the next element (hidden div) ($(".LST_Documents"))
sketch :
JSBIN : it does work.
Most important :
When I press on a $(".fileHeader")- i need to close all other $(".LST_Documents") and then ( that why i used promise) open the relevant $(".LST_Documents").
The problem is (look at the pic) if i press again on the first $(".fileHeader").
what is happening is that it closing and then re opening. and I want it to stay CLOSED.
P.S.
I could solve it with class ( .rowOpen or something like that) but I want to do it via JS/JQ only.
How can I enhance my code to work as expected ?
Just hold the header's content visibility state before sliding it up. And slide down the content only when it was not visible.
Here is the fiddle.
$(".fileHeader").on('click', function () {
var content$ = $(this).next(),
isContentVisible = content$.is(':visible');
$(".LST_Documents:visible").slideUp().promise().done(function () {
if ( ! isContentVisible ) {
content$.slideDown();
}
});
});
How 'bout a simple condition:
$(".fileheader").on('click', function() {
var next = $(this).next();
if(next.is(':visible'))
{
next.slideUp();
}
else
{
$(".LST_Documents:visible").slideUp().promise().done(function() {
next.slideDown();
});
}
});

4 toggle buttons speak javascript to each other but none of them are good listeners

The new fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/Luhring/EjW7A/38/
Problem:
How can I insert the content dynamically- allowing each button to toggle it's own content while making sure the other buttons are toggled off and their content hidden? ex, if button 1 is toggled on (it is animated as if it were a 'real' pressed button), button 1s content is displayed in a gallery where the contents can be clicked to display a lightbox. when button 2 is clicked should toggle button 1 off and replace button 1's contents with its own.
New Working Demo
Anything invoking jQuery on DOM elements must be wrapped within the DOM ready function to work correctly (this is why your $('a').click() was failing. Also, normally if you see yourself creating multiple arrays that you never end up using, and still end up referencing each element directly, you're making a lot of wasted effort. I cleaned your code up a bit - take a look:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
//variable declaration section.
var contentArray = ['albumArt', 'logoDesign', 'UX', 'other'],
content = {}, newClassName, $selectedArray, i;
for ( i = 0; i < contentArray.length; i++) {
var className = contentArray[i];
content[className] = $('.' + className);
}
//prevent links that are clicked from going anywhere
$("a").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
$('.workTypes').click(function() {
if ($(this).is('#centeringDiv a')) return;
$(this).toggleClass('workTypesSelected');
$('.workTypesSelected').not(this).removeClass('workTypesSelected');
$selectedArray = content[$('.workTypesSelected').attr('id')];
$('#galleryDiv').empty();
if ( $selectedArray ) {
// note creates #largeGallery elements dynamically
for ( i = 0; i < $selectedArray.length; i++ ) {
var $selected = $selectedArray.eq(i);
$('<a>').attr({
href: $selected.attr('href'),
title: $selected.attr('title'),
class: "lb_gal"
}).append(
$('<img>').attr({
id: "largeGallery"+i,
src: $selected.attr('href'),
class: "gallery cf"
}).rlightbox()
)
.appendTo('#galleryDiv')
.rlightbox();
}
}
}); // end click handler
}); //end the document ready jquery function​
I am using JQuery 1.3.2-min in a project to handle JavaScript animations, ajax, etc. I have stored the file on the same server as the site instead of using Google. When I run the site locally on my development machine, everything works fine in FF, IE, Opera, and Safari (all the latest versions - I work from home and I only have 1 machine for personal use and development use) except for some CSS differences between them and when I go to the live site on my machine it works fine also. I have cleared my caches and hard refreshed the page, and it still works.
This is where it gets interesting however. When I send the site to my boss to test in various OS/Browser configurations, one page doesn't work correctly, some of it works, some doesn't. Also, the client (who uses IE 8) has also confirmed that it is not completely working - in fact he has told me that the page will work fine for a hour, and then just "turn off" for a while. I have never heard of this sort of thing before, and google isn't turning too much up. I have a hunch it may partly be with JQuery's .data(), but I'm not sure.
The page is basically nested unordered lists, and three basic actions happen on the list.
The top most unordered list is set to visible (all list via css are set to display: none to keep them hidden on a fresh page request); all list items divs are given a hover action of full opacity on mouseon, and faded back to 50% opacity on mouseoff; and then whenver a paragraph is clicked, the top most unordered list in that list item is displayed.
Here is my Javascript file for the page:
$(function() {
// Set first level ul visible
$('div#pageListing ul:first').css('display', 'block');
// Disable all the hyperlinks in the list
$('div#pageListing li a').click(function() {
var obj;
obj = $(this).parent(0).parent('div:first');
highlight(obj);
return false;
});
// List Item mouse hovering
$('#pageListing li').hover(
// Mouse On
function() {
if ($(this).children('div').attr('id') !== 'activePage') {
$(this).children('div').css('opacity', 1).css('filter',
'alpha(opacity=100)');
}
}, // Mouse off
function() {
if ($(this).children('div').attr('id') !== 'activePage') {
$(this).children('div').css('opacity', 0.4).css('filter',
'alpha(opacity=40)');
}
});
// Active list item highlighting
$('#pageListing li div').click(function() {
highlight($(this));
});
// Sub-list expanding/collapsing
$('#pageListing p.subpageslink').click(function() {
// Get next list
var subTree = $(this).parent('div').next('ul');
// If list is currently active, close it, else open it.
if (subTree.data('active') != true) {
subTree.data('active', true);
subTree.show(400);
} else {
subTree.data('active', false);
subTree.hide(400);
}
});
// Double clicking of list item - edit a page
$('#pageListing li div').dblclick(function() {
var classes = $(this).attr('class');
var classArray = classes.split(' ');
var pageID = classArray[1];
editPage(pageID);
});
// Handle button clicking
$('button#addPage').click(function() {
addPage();
});
$('button#editPage').click(function() {
var div = $('div#activePage');
var classes = div.attr('class');
var classArray = classes.split(' ');
var pageID = classArray[1];
editPage(pageID);
});
$('button#delPage').click(function() {
var div = $('div#activePage')
var classes = div.attr('class');
var classArray = classes.split(' ');
var pageID = classArray[1];
delPage(pageID);
});
});
// Highlighting of page when clicked
function highlight(obj) {
// Get previous hightlighted element
// and un-highlight
var oldElement = $('div#activePage');
oldElement.css('background', 'white');
oldElement.css('opacity', 0.4).css('filter', 'alpha(opacity=40)');
oldElement.removeAttr('id');
// highlight current selection
obj.attr('id', 'activePage');
obj.css('opacity', 1).css('filter', 'alpha(opacity=100)');
obj.css('background', '#9dc0f4');
// add appropiate action buttons
$('button.pageButton').css('display', 'inline');
}
function addPage() {
window.location = "index.php?rt=cms/editPage";
}
function delPage(page) {
var confirm = window.confirm("Are you sure? Any sub-pages WILL BE deleted also.");
if (confirm) {
var url = './components/cms/controller/forms/deletePage.php';
$.ajax( {
url : url,
type : 'GET',
data : 'id=' + page,
success : function(result) {
if (!result) {
document.location = "index.php?rt=cms";
} else {
window.alert('There was a problem deleting the page');
}
}
});
}
}
function editPage(page) {
var url = "index.php?rt=cms/editPage/" + page;
window.location = url;

Is it possible that you are linking to (some of) the script files using a src that points to a file on your local disk/HDD? If so, that would explain why it works only on your machine, as then only your machine has access to the script file.
Thank you one and all for your suggestions. The end problem was miscommunication. I work from home, and upload my projects to a SVN server, which the boss then uses to update the live server. Somehow, the correct files were not getting updated - a communication error on my part. Another possible reason was that the page, while being declared XHTML 1.0 Strict, had something like 50 validation errors (mosting incorrectly nested UL), and I cleaned that up to 5 errors. So thank you all, but again a sad example of the importance of team work communication.
