JavaScript replace content by sliding more content in without losing height

So i currently have a setup that allows for a button to be pressed, the current content is hidden, and more content scrolls in from the right. However my problem is that for the briefest of moments the footer, which sits below the content, moves up before moving back down below the content just loaded in.
This fiddle best illustrates the problem: http://jsfiddle.net/9Dubr/766/
My Code:
$('#rightButton').click(function(){
var toLoad = 'page.html #content';
$('#content').hide("fast", loadContent);
function loadContent() {
$('#content').load(toLoad,'',showNewContent);
}
function showNewContent() {
$('#content').show("slide", {direction: "right" }, 1000 );
}
return false;
});
Thanks for your help

The fiddle doesn't seem to work for me, but it sounds to me like your footer is simply trying to occupy the empty space left behind by the previous content. In which case, you can try giving the parent container of your content a fixed height just before hiding it. You can then unset the height once the next content is loaded, that way there isn't really any empty space for the footer to try and occupy.
Untested code:
$('#content').parent().css({height: $('#content').height()});
$('#content').hide("fast", loadContent);
...
function showNewContent() {
$('#content').show("slide", {direction: "right", complete: function() {
$('#content').parent().css({height: ''});
} }, 1000 );
}
If you'd like to make it more visually appealing, you can animate the height so the footer will get pushed/pulled more smoothly.
Hope this helps.

It may be because the page is allowed to resize the lengths of divs. A few suggestions that might work is:
Quick Fixes:
Hiding your footer until the person is at the bottom of the screen
Making your footer a static size and maybe even making the footer position final.
Adding a fixed size container around your objects as mentioned in a previous comment.
This way atleast it won;t bother the footer in any way.
Fix without changing footer:
It is obviously a load problem when the button itself is pressed. Because as I understand from your code when the button is pressed and then you are adding this new content to your page right before using the slide effect.
I would suggest you preload the content when first opening the page and then just use the .slide() when the button is pressed.

jQuery onScroll() show and hide DIVs

I have a simple onScroll function, which shows a DIV when the scroll (down) height is 100 for example, and then if scrolled up soon as it reach 100 it hides the div, works perfect.
However, if I scroll down quickly and while its showing the DIV if I quickly scroll up & down 2 three times, it doesn't catch the event, even if its up again, it still shows the DIV, but again if I scroll even 1 pixel down, it hides it and if reaches 100 then it shows DIV again.. I hope I made it clear, I dont have an online demo as I am working on localhost.. below is my function that I am using standalone in the template within just <*script> tag..
jQuery(document).scroll(function ($) {
var y = jQuery(this).scrollTop();
var hoffset = 100;
if (y > hoffset) {
// show div
} else {
// hide div
}
});
Can someone please guide me to right direction, what other best approaches can be done for this, basically I am doing this for header nav div..
regards

Do you want like this? See my Fiddle
I use fadeIn() and fadeOut() instead.

The only way I found to stop animation, while its in the process is below and works..
jQuery('.thedivclass').stop(false, true).slideDown();

Jquery Sticky Nav Issue

I'm been trying to get my head around issue and seem to cant find some help.
http://fiddle.jshell.net/DQgkE/7/show/
The experience is a bit jumpy and buggy now- but what i will like is
1) When you scroll down the page. I want the Sticky Nav to be (disable,dropped off, stop) at a specific location(chapter-3) on the page and the user should have the ability to keep scrolling down.
2) When the user is scrolling back up, the code will stick the nav back and carry it up until the nav reaches the original position at the top.
Below is a starting point.
3) Currently is kinda of doing that but there's some huge jump going on when scrolling back up
http://imakewebthings.com/jquery-waypoints/#doc-disable
using disable, destroy, enable option will be nice.
This is a original experience cleaned: http://fiddle.jshell.net/DQgkE/1/show/
Thanks for the help in Advance.

I'm not sure how this plugin you used work, but I have a solution I wrote a while back that I wrote in jquery. It has few variables at the top, the item you wanted sticky, the item where you want it to stop, and the class to add when it becomes sticky and padding at the top and bottom. I only modified the javascript portion in this fork.
EDIT
I went ahead and fixed the original code. Solution without waypoint plugin is in comments.
Here is the result:
http://fiddle.jshell.net/Taks7/show/

I would recommend to use jQuery (that was a surprise, right?! :P)
$(document).ready(function() { //when document is ready
var topDist = $("nav").position(); //save the position of your navbar !Don't create that variable inside the scroll function!
$(document).scroll(function () { //every time users scrolls the page
var scroll = $(this).scrollTop(); //get the distance of the current scroll from the top of the window
if (scroll > topDist.top - *distance_nav_from_top*) { //user goes to the trigger position
$('nav').css({position:"fixed", width: "100%", top:"*distance_nav_from_top*"}); //set the effect
} else { //window is on top position, reaches trigger position from bottom-to-top scrolling
$('nav').css({position:"static", width:"initial", top:"initial"}); //set them with the values you used before scrolling
}
});
});
I really hope I helped!

How to slowly move header while user scrolls the page?

I want to achieve the effect that is used on this Header on this example website:
http://anchorage-theme.pixelunion.net/
You will notice that as you scroll the page, the header slowly moves upward until it disappears from view. I want to achieve this same effect. I believe it will need some JS and CSS positioning but still have no clue how to achieve this. Is this done with parallax scrolling?
Would appreciate if someone could give me a quick example of the code used to do this with a element. So I can then use it on my own site.
Cheers.

the $(window).scroll(function () {...}) is the one you need here
$(document).scrollTop() is the amount of scrolled distance from the top

Use this:
$(window).scroll(function(){
if ($(this).scrollTop() > x){ // x should be from where you want this to happen from top//
//make CSS changes here
}
else{
//back to default styles
}
});

How do I stop a bouncy JQuery animation?

In a webapp I'm working on, I want to create some slider divs that will move up and down with mouseover & mouseout (respectively.) I currently have it implemented with JQuery's hover() function, by using animate() and reducing/increasing it's top css value as needed. This works fairly well, actually.
The problem is that it tends to get stuck. If you move the mouse over it (especially near the bottom), and quickly remove it, it will slide up & down continuously and won't stop until it's completed 3-5 cycles. To me, it seems that the issue might have to do with one animation starting before another is done (e.g. the two are trying to run, so they slide back and forth.)
Okay, now for the code. Here's the basic JQuery that I'm using:
$('.slider').hover(
/* mouseover */
function(){
$(this).animate({
top : '-=120'
}, 300);
},
/* mouseout*/
function(){
$(this).animate({
top : '+=120'
}, 300);
}
);
I've also recreated the behavior in a JSFiddle.
Any ideas on what's going on? :)
==EDIT== UPDATED JSFiddle

It isn't perfect, but adding .stop(true,true) will prevent most of what you are seeing.
http://jsfiddle.net/W5EsJ/18/
If you hover from bottom up quickly, it will still flicker because you are moving your mouse out of the div causing the mouseout event to fire, animating the div back down.
You can lessen the flicker by reducing the delay, however it will still be present until the delay is 0 (no animation)
Update
I thought about it and realized that there is an obvious solution to this. Hoverintent-like functionality!
http://jsfiddle.net/W5EsJ/20/
$(document).ready(function() {
var timer;
$('.slider').hover(
/* mouseover */
function(){
var self = this;
timer = setTimeout(function(){
$(self).stop(true,true).animate({
top : '-=120'
}, 300).addClass('visible');
},150)
},
/* mouseout*/
function(){
clearTimeout(timer);
$(this).filter(".visible").stop(true,true).animate({
top : '+=120'
}, 300).removeClass("visible");
}
);
});

You could use .stop() and also use the outer container position
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.slider').hover(
/* mouseover */
function(){
$(this).stop().animate({
top : $('.outer').position().top
}, 300);
},
/* mouseout*/
function(){
$(this).stop().animate({
top : $('.outer').position().top + 120
}, 300);
}
);
});

DEMO
Hope this helps

Couldn't reproduce your issue but I believe that hover is getting called multiple times. To work around this you can check if the div is already in animation. If yes, then don't run another animation again.
Add following piece of code to check if the div is already 'animating':
if ($(this).is(':animated')) {
return;
}
Code: http://jsfiddle.net/W5EsJ/2/
Reference:http://api.jquery.com/animated-selector/

I understand the problem and reproduced it, it happens when hovering from the bottom up. The hovering with the mouse is what's causing the problem since the animation function will be called when the mouse hovers over the image. You need to control what happens here by using mouse enter and mouse leave, check out a similar example: Jquery Animate on Hover

The reason it's like that is because the hover is getting queued up causing it to slide up and down multiple times. There's a plug-in called hoverIntent which fixes the issue. http://cherne.net/brian/resources/jquery.hoverIntent.html
If you do decide to use hoverIntent, the only thing you have to change in your code is .hover > .hoverIntent
