Scrollpane on the bottom, css is hacky, javascript is hard - javascript

I want to put a bar on the bottom of my page containing a varying number of pictures, which (if wider than the page) can be scrolled left and right.
The page width is varying, and I want the pane to be 100% in width.
I was trying to do a trick by letting the middle div overflow and animate it's position with jquery.animate().
Like this:
Here is a fiddle without the js: http://jsfiddle.net/SoonDead/DdPtv/7/
The problems are:
without declaring a large width to the items holder it will not overflow horizontally but vertically. Is this a good hack? (see the width: 9000px in the fiddle)
I only want to scroll the middle pane if it makes sense. For this I need to calculate the width of the overflowing items box (which should be the sum of the items' width inside), and the container of it with the overflow: hidden attribute. (this should be the width of the browser window minus the left and right buttons).
Is there a way to calculate the length of something in js without counting all of it's childrens length manually and sum it up?
Is there a way to get the width of the browser window? Is there a way to get a callback when the window is resized? I need to correct the panes position if the window suddenly widens (and the items are in a position that should not be allowed)
Since the window's width can vary I need to calculate on the fly if I can scroll left or right.
Can you help me with the javascript?
UPDATE: I have a followup question for this one: Scroll a div vertically to a desired position using jQuery Please help me solve that one too.

Use white-space:nowrap on the item container and display:inline or display:inline-block to prevent the items from wrapping and to not need to calculate or set an explicit width.
Edit:: Here's a live working demo: http://jsfiddle.net/vhvzq/2/
HTML
<div class="hscroll">
<ol>
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
</ol>
<button class="left"><</button>
<button class="right">></button>
</div>
CSS
.hscroll { white-space:nowrap; position:relative }
.hscroll ol { overflow:hidden; margin:0; padding:0 }
.hscroll li { list-style-type:none; display:inline-block; vertical-align:middle }
.hscroll button { position:absolute; height:100%; top:0; width:2em }
.hscroll .left { left:0 }
.hscroll .right { right:0 }
JavaScript (using jQuery)
$('.hscroll').each(function(){
var $this = $(this);
var scroller = $this.find('ol')[0];
var timer,offset=15;
function scrollLeft(){ scroller.scrollLeft -= offset; }
function scrollRight(){ scroller.scrollLeft += offset; }
function clearTimer(){ clearInterval(timer); }
$this.find('.left').click(scrollLeft).mousedown(function(){
timer = setInterval(scrollLeft,20);
}).mouseup(clearTimer);
$this.find('.right').click(scrollRight).mousedown(function(){
timer = setInterval(scrollRight,20);
}).mouseup(clearTimer);
});

Thanks Phrogz for this part -- give the image container the white-space: nowrap; and display: inline-block;.
You can calculate the width without having to calculate the width of the children every time but you will need to calculate the width of the children once.
//global variables
var currentWidth = 0;
var slideDistance = 0;
var totalSize = 0;
var dispWidth = (winWidth / 2); //this should get you the middle of the page -- see below
var spacing = 6; //padding or margins around the image element
$(Document).Ready(function() {
$("#Gallery li").each(function () {
totalSize = totalSize + parseFloat($(this).children().attr("width"));// my images are wrapped in a list so I parse each li and get it's child
});
totalSpacing = (($("#Gallery li").siblings().length - 1) * spacing); //handles the margins between pictures
currentWidth = (parseFloat($("#Gallery li.pictureSelected").children().attr("width")) + spacing);
maxLeftScroll = (dispWidth - (totalSize + totalSpacing)); //determines how far left you can scroll
});
function NextImage() {
currentWidth = currentWidth + (parseFloat($("#Gallery li.pictureSelected").next().children().attr("width")) + spacing); //gets the current width plus the width of the next image plus spacing.
slideDistance = (dispWidth - currentWidth)
$("#Gallery").animate({ left: slideDistance }, 700);
}
There is a way to get the browser window with in javascript (jQuery example).
and there is a way to catch the resize event.
var winWidth = $(window).width()
if (winWidth == null) {
winWidth = 50;
}
$(window).resize(function () {
var winNewWidth = $(window).width();
if (winWidth != winNewWidth) {
window.clearTimeout(timerID);
timerID = window.setInterval(function () { resizeWindow(false); }, 100);
}
winWidth = winNewWidth;
});
On my gallery there's actually quite a bit more but this should get you pointed in the right direction.

You need to change your #items from
#items
{
float: left;
background: yellow;
width: 9000px;
}
to
#items {
background: yellow;
}
Then calculate the width very easily with jQuery
// #items width is calculated as the number of child .item elements multiplied by their outerWidth (width+padding+border)
$("#items").width(
$(".item").length * $(".item").outerWidth()
);
and simply declare click events for the #left and #right elements
$("#left").click(function() {
$("#middle").animate({
scrollLeft: "-=50px"
}, 'fast');
});
$("#right").click(function() {
$("#middle").animate({
scrollLeft: "+=50px"
}, 'fast');
});

EDIT
I overlooked that detail about the varying image widths. Here is the correct way to calculate the total width
var totalWidth = 0;
$(".item").each(function(index, value) {
totalWidth += $(value).outerWidth();
});
$("#items").width(totalWidth);

Show a series of images on scroll

The closest solution I found is Show div on scrollDown after 800px.
I'm learning HTML, CSS, and JS, and I decided to try to make a digital flipbook: a simple animation that would play (ie, load frame after frame) on the user's scroll.
I figured I would add all the images to the HTML and then use CSS to "stack them" in the same position, then use JS or jQuery to fade one into the next at different points in the scroll (ie, increasing pixel distances from the top of the page).
Unfortunately, I can't produce the behavior I'm looking for.
HTML (just all the frames of the animation):
<img class="frame" id="frame0" src="images/hand.jpg">
<img class="frame" id="frame1" src="images/frame_0_delay-0.13s.gif">
CSS:
body {
height: 10000px;
}
.frame {
display: block;
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
z-index: 1;
transition: all 1s;
}
#hand0 {
padding: 55px 155px 55px 155px;
background-color: white;
}
.frameHide {
opacity: 0;
left: -100%;
}
.frameShow {
opacity: 1;
left: 0;
}
JS:
frame0 = document.getElementById("frame0");
var myScrollFunc = function() {
var y = window.scrollY;
if (y >= 800) {
frame0.className = "frameShow"
} else {
frame0.className = "frameHide"
}
};
window.addEventListener("scroll", myScrollFunc);
};
One of your bigger problems is that setting frame0.className = "frameShow" removes your initial class frame, which will remove a bunch of properties. To fix this, at least in a simple way, we can do frame0.className = "frame frameShow", etc. Another issue is that frame0 is rendered behind frame1, which could be fixed a variety of ways. ie. Putting frame0's <img> after frame1, or setting frame0's CSS to have a z-index:2;, and then setting frame0's class to class="frame frameHide" so it doesn't show up to begin with. I also removed the margin and padding from the body using CSS, as it disturbs the location of the images. I have made your code work the way I understand you wanted it to, here is a JSFiddle.
It depends on your case, for example, in this jsFiddle 1 I'm showing the next (or previous) frame depending on the value of the vertical scroll full window.
So for my case the code is:
var jQ = $.noConflict(),
frames = jQ('.frame'),
win = jQ(window),
// this is very important to be calculated correctly in order to get it work right
// the idea here is to calculate the available amount of scrolling space until the
// scrollbar hits the bottom of the window, and then divide it by number of frames
steps = Math.floor((jQ(document).height() - win.height()) / frames.length),
// start the index by 1 since the first frame is already shown
index = 1;
win.on('scroll', function() {
// on scroll, if the scroll value equal or more than a certain number, fade the
// corresponding frame in, then increase index by one.
if (win.scrollTop() >= index * steps) {
jQ(frames[index]).animate({'opacity': 1}, 50);
index++;
} else {
// else if it's less, hide the relative frame then decrease the index by one
// thus it will work whether the user scrolls up or down
jQ(frames[index]).animate({'opacity': 0}, 50);
index--;
}
});
Update:
Considering another scenario, where we have the frames inside a scroll-able div, then we wrap the .frame images within another div .inner.
jsFiddle 2
var jQ = $.noConflict(),
cont = jQ('#frames-container'),
inner = jQ('#inner-div'),
frames = jQ('.frame'),
frameHeight = jQ('#frame1').height(),
frameWidth = jQ('#frame1').width() + 20, // we add 20px because of the horizontal scroll
index = 0;
// set the height of the outer container div to be same as 1 frame height
// and the inner div height to be the sum of all frames height, also we
// add some pixels just for safety, 20px here
cont.css({'height': frameHeight, 'width': frameWidth});
inner.css({'height': frameHeight * frames.length + 20});
cont.on('scroll', function() {
var space = index * frameHeight;
if (cont.scrollTop() >= space) {
jQ(frames[index]).animate({'opacity': 1}, 0);
index++;
} else {
jQ(frames[index]).animate({'opacity': 0}, 0);
index--;
}
});
** Please Note that in both cases all frames must have same height.

Finding position of element within scrollable div

I have these "pages" aka div's inside a scrollable container. On command, I am trying to find out what part of the div in question, is touching the top of .pageContent.
So for example, right when the page loads, no part of #page_1 is touching the top of pageContent, but as I scroll down. #page_1 hits the top of .pageContent and I now want to figure out where that is.
I know I can get the position of .pageContent using $("#pageContent").scrollTop() but these page's could be different sizes and I am not sure how to go about figuring it out.
Could anyone put me in the right direction?
jsfiddle
HTML
<div id="pageContent">
<div id="page_1" class="content"></div>
<div id="page_2" class="content"></div>
<div id="page_3" class="content"></div>
</div>
CSS
#pageContent {
overflow: auto;
width:500px;
height:300px;
padding:10px;
border:1px solid black;
background-color:grey;
}
.content {
height:400px;
width:300px;
margin:0 auto;
background-color:red;
margin-bottom:10px;
}
You can use the jQuery .position() function to compute where each page is in relation to the top of the container. See this Fiddle.
For example, for #page_1,
var page1 = $('#page_1');
$('#pageContent').scroll(function() {
// page1.position().top gives the position of page_1 relative to the
// top of #pageContent
});
ScrollTop can be used, be I wouldn't recommend it.
Attach a scroll event to your main div and listener for all the objects inside:
$('#pageContent').scroll(function(){
var pages = $("#pageContent > .content");
for (var i = 0; i < pages.length; i++)
{
if ($(pages[i]).position().top < 0 && ( $(pages[i]).position().top + $(pages[i]).outerHeight() ) > 0)
{
var outerHeight = $(pages[i]).outerHeight();
var pixels = (outerHeight - (outerHeight + $(pages[i]).position().top));
console.log("These pixels are in view between: " + pixels + " and " + outerHeight );
}
}
})
Every time the div scroll a loop is performed checking the position of all elements. If the elements scroll out of view a the top the if is triggered, calculating the remaining visible pixels of the page currently visible.
This uses jQuery's: position() and outerHeight() and JavaScript's native offsetTop.
http://jsfiddle.net/q5aaLo9L/4/
I tried something like this
$(document).ready(function () {
var divs = $('.content').map(function (i, el) {
return $(el).offset().top - $(el).parent().offset().top;
});
$('#pageContent').scroll(function () {
var index = findIndex($(this).scrollTop(), divs) - 1;
if (index > -1) {
console.log($(this).children().eq(index).attr('id'));
} else {
console.log('outside');
}
});
});
function findIndex(pos, divs) {
return (divs.filter(function (el, et) {
return et <= pos
}).length);
}
It's not super clean code because I had to do it quickly.
DEMO
I hope this helps
I mocked this up, it uses JQuery's each() function to iterate through the pages and return the information of the page that has breached the top of the box.
I wasn't sure from your question exactly what you wanted returned, so I got it to return either the percentage of the page that has cleared the top border, the position (as negative value of pixels) of the top of the "page " in relation to the content container, and also just the ID of that div.
var getCurrentPage = function(){
var page;
var position;
var percentageRead;
$('.content').each(function(){
if($(this).position().top <= 0){
page = $(this);
position = $(this).position().top;
}
});
percentageRead = ((position *-1)/ $(page).height()* 100);
console.log(page.attr('id'));
console.log(position);
console.log(percentageRead + '%');
}
$('#pageContent').on('scroll', getCurrentPage);
You could fire this on any event but I used scroll to build it.

Insert inline element and animate shift to left

I've been trying to solve this problem for a week now and it seems basic, so maybe I'm missing something.
I want to have a div centered on the screen (or its container), and then insert a second div to the right of it, so that afterwards the two of them are centered (space on each side is equal).
Inserting the second div is not a problem, but I need the first block to slide over to where its going to be after the new block is inserted.
http://jsfiddle.net/rdbLbnw1/
.container {
width:100%;
text-align:center;
}
.inside {
border:solid 1px black;
width:100px;
height:100px;
display:inline-block;
}
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#add").click(function() {
$(".container").append("<div class='inside'></div>");
});
});
<div class="container">
<div class="inside"></div>
</div>
<input id="add" type="button" value="add"/>
Do I need to explicitly calculate where the original box is going to end up and then animate that, or is there a better way to do it?
I like your question so decide to write this:
$(document).ready(function() {
var isInAction = false;
var intNumOfBoxes = 1;
var intMargin = 10;
$containerWidth = $(".container").width();
$insideWidth = $(".inside").width();
$(".inside").css('margin-left',($containerWidth - $insideWidth - intMargin)/2 + 'px');
$("#add").click(function() {
if (!isInAction){
isInAction = true;
intNumOfBoxes +=1;
$(".current").removeClass("current");
$(".container").append("<div class='inside current'></div>");
$('.inside').animate({
'margin-left': '-=' + ($insideWidth + intMargin)/2 + 'px'
}, 300, function () {
$(".current").css('margin-left',($containerWidth + ((intNumOfBoxes - 2) * ($insideWidth + intMargin)))/2 + 'px');
$(".current").fadeIn(500,function(){
isInAction = false;
});
});
}
});
});
Also add this class in CSS:
.current {
display:none;
}
You don't need to change variables in JS code except intMargin. you can change this var to set margin between boxes.
Note: This code works fine on older browsers too and not need to support CSS3 features like transition.
Update: Some bugs like repeated clicks fixed.
Check JSFiddle Demo
First, we can animate only things that have explicit numerical values such as width, left or margin. We can't animate things like alignment (which actually use the same margin property but implicitly, never mind). So if we know width of inserted div let's just add it to our container.
1) Let's centre container itself and add transition to it
.container {
width: 102px; /* set explicit width; 102 - because of borders */
margin: auto; /* set margin to 'auto' - that will centre the div */
transition: width 0.5s;
}
2) Then increase the width when add div
$(".container").width($(".container").width() + 102);
3) But wait! If we add div to too narrow container it will be added to bottom not to right. So we need another container set to appropriate width before.
See final example on JSFiddle.
BTW, remove all line breaks and tabs from your code when you use inline-block, because it will cause spaces between your blocks.

stick div to screen if bottom of div and screen matches

Hello all I am working on a project where in a page I have to stick the div to screen (disable scrolling) when its bottom is at the bottom of screen. I have two divs in the page and both the divs are of variable height. I want to stick the div2 and scroll the div1.
<script>
var divheight
var scrolltop
var screenheight
if(divheight-scrolltop <= screenheight){
/* now stick the div wherever it is i can not
use fixed position as both the divs are floating and
fixing the position will make it to change the position*/ }
else { /*un stick the div*/ }
</script>
i dont know what to put in if and else please help me
Make a function which fire on scroll. The main aim of the function would be to see the difference between screen height and bottom of the div. Once the difference is less than or equal to zero modify the css position to fixed. This will help you
(function ($) {
$('.DIV1').scroll(function () {
var $this = $(this),
win_ht = $(window).height(),
div_ht = $this.height(),
div_bot = $this.offset().top + div_ht;
if (win_ht - div_bot <= 0) {
$this.css({
'position': 'fixed',
'bottom': '0'
})
}
});
})(jQuery);

table needs to be fixed during scrolling

I have 3 tables and one of them I want to be fix after scroll more then specific distance
var distance = $("#thead").offset().top;
$(window).scroll(function () {
var wdistance = $(window).scrollTop();
if (wdistance > distance) {
};
})
demo jsfiddle
I want to say when this "if" is correct then position of div with "thead" id become fixed on top of the other tables when scrolling the page. and after the div with id "first" is finish then <div id="thead"></div> come back to previous place.
You can create a .fixed class and add/remove that to/from the #thead element, as follows:
CSS
* { padding: 0; margin: 0; } /* Tiny reset for removing paddings and margins */
.fixed {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
}
Note that, you have to remove the padding/margin from the <body> element to adjust the width of each column (when the #thead is positioned).
Or use the same padding/margin for the positioned #thead element as well.
var $table = $("#thead"),
$window = $(window),
distance = $table.offset().top;
$window.scroll(function () {
var wdistance = $window.scrollTop();
if (wdistance > distance) {
$table.addClass('fixed');
} else {
$table.removeClass('fixed');
}
});
