I made a script that moves my "character" (element ID="character") to where I click. But I need to get it's position so I can make it "walk" to where I click instead of it just appearing there.
This is my code:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showCoords(evt){
document.getElementById("character").style.left = evt.pageX;
document.getElementById("character").style.top = evt.pageY;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onmousedown="showCoords(event)">
<div id="character" style="position: absolute; top: 100px; width: 80px; height: 40px; background:black;"> Char </div>
</body>
</html>
Basically I just want to retrieve the element's horizontal and vertical position at the beginning of my function. So I can later use those variables. How do I do it?
Thanks
If you only need this to work in reasonably modern browsers, then document.getElementById("character").getBoundingClientRect() will have left and top properties that give you the offsets from the viewport.
Using MooTools you can get the position of an element with:
$('element').getPosition(); // returns {x: 100, y: 500};
MooTools docs: Element Method: getPosition

my question is is there someone out there who managed to get a scaling/resizing like this: http://fabricjs.com/controls but in paper js?
Would appreciate some help or directions how to do that.
EDIT: You see the quadrats in the link, when you pull them the object gets sized in that direction. For example when I pull right side then only right side of object is expanded (in other word the object is scaled horizontally).
That behavior I'm looking for, when I pull an object on one side then it should expand in that side AND I also want to do that when the object have some rotation (e.g. 20° from x axis)
You have to listen to a slider change event, then update your item size accordingly.
Here is a fiddle demonstrating the solution.

I am 11 years old and I started learning Javascript a couple of months ago, So I am trying to make a page where if you scroll down too much it will take you back to the top so I made a Div element that fills up a large space and onmouseover it will take you back up to the top but if you try it a second time it won't do anything. Please help. Thanks in advance !
I hope my understanding of your problem is right. You have a div and you want to go up each time you scroll too much.
As an example of how to handle the scroll in vanilla JavaScript you can have a look at the document for the onscroll event: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/GlobalEventHandlers/onscroll.
Here is an example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<style>
#container {
height: 500px;
width: 515px;
overflow: auto;
}
#foo {
height: 1000px;
width: 500px;
background-color: #777;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="foo"></div>
</div>
<script>
var container = document.getElementById('container');
container.addEventListener('scroll', function(event) {
// Get top and left value
var top = container.scrollTop
if (top > 400) {
// Go to the top
container.scrollTop = 0;
}
}, false);
</script>
</body>
</html>
In this example the contained element is bigger that the container so the container becomes scrollable with the overflow: auto; css property.
The scripts applies a onscroll event that checks the scroll value of the container and reset it to 0 when it exceed an arbitrary value (400 in the example).
I hope this has been useful to your work.
I'm using JQuery to have my .wrapper div snap back to its original margin-top after being moved to margin-top. The original margin-top is dependent on browser height. I'm trying to do this by storing the original margin-top value into a variable, and using it for JQuery animate when I want to .wrapper div to snap back later on.
$(document).ready(function() {
//Adjust .wrapper Margin-top to adjust position to 1/4 of Window Broswer Height
var marginWindowSpace = ($(window).height()) / 4;
$(".wrapper").css("margin-top", marginWindowSpace);
var originalMargin = $(".wrapper").css("margin-top").toString();
});
$(".title").click(function() {
$("#results-container").empty();
$(".wrapper").animate({
'margin-top': originalMargin
}, 200);
$(".title-tag, .or, .random-article, .random-article-underline").fadeIn(500);
$("footer").addClass("footer-pos1");
});
QUESTION: Why wont my the animate margin-top accept my variable (where the original margin-top value is stored), even when converted to string? I don't want to use a static value as my margin-top.
If you want to see the app code, it's here. http://codepen.io/myleschuahiock/pen/zqvvNZ
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
EDIT: I changed the click function to $('.go-back'), but the animate for magin-top should still be the same
Move the whole $(".title").click(function(){}) into the $(document).ready(function(){})
The problem exists because at the time of the initialisation of the $(".title").click(function(){}) originalMargin is not set yet because the document is not ready yet.
Do like this. there are some errors in your animate part.margin-top should be correct as marginTop and your string should convert as int and do like this.I implement as an example.hope this will help to you.

var vaL = parseInt(one,10);
$(".clk").click(function(){
$(".two").animate({'marginTop':vaL+'px'},1000);
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
note :
var one = $(".testing").css("margin-top").toString();
int this part get the margin-top value as a string.
var vaL = parseInt(one,10);
convert it to an integer.
then the animate part
$(".two").animate({'marginTop':vaL+'px'},1000);
I need to make an image viewer that allows large images to be loaded into a container and then dragged within the container so that the entire image is viewable but the image is never dragged out of bounds. The below code works perfectly except the scrollbars are not accurately synchronizing with the position of the dragged image and allow the image to be scrolled out of bounds. How can I synchronize the scroll bars with the image while it is being dragged?
Edit:
Here is a working example
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

#screen{overflow:auto; width: 80%; height: 600px; clear: both; border: 1px solid black; background-color: #CCCCCC; float:left; margin-right: 15px;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div id="screen">
<img class="drag-image" id="draggable" />
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('#draggable').attr('src', 'http://i.imgur.com/uPjIz.jpg').load(function () {
CreateDraggablePicture();
});
});
function CreateDraggablePicture() {
var x = ($('#draggable').width() - $('#screen').width() - $('#screen').offset().left) * -1;
var y = ($('#draggable').height() - $('#screen').height() - $('#screen').offset().top) * -1;
var x2 = $('#screen').offset().left;
var y2 = $('#screen').offset().top;
$("#draggable").draggable({ containment: [x, y, x2, y2], scroll: true });
}

These plugins seems to do the same effect you describe here
http://www.azoffdesign.com/overscroll (seems to be the best one)
http://hitconsultants.com/dragscroll_scrollsync/scrollpane.html (I didn't find the download link though)
http://the-taylors.org/jquery.kinetic/ (didn't see an option for scrollbars, but it's mobile friendly)
I had this exact problem with a similar jQuery plugin. I eventually had to figure out and manually modify the plugin's math. I believe the secret was that it was missing css margins or css padding from the calculation.
See if that helps
When you scroll, are you changing the position of something?
How can I change the position of the scroll? Specifically to match the cursors movement.
What I want to do is scroll the window when I click and drag with the cursor inside the window.
For example:
I have a 400px by 400px div with a 900px by 900px div inside of it. I want to scroll around by click and dragging. Note, I do NOT want to move the position of the inside div (easily doable with jQuery UI via draggable), just the scroll position. Moving the actual div position messes with my other javascript applications.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
This should get you going with horizontal scrolling. Vertical would be similar, but with scrollTop().
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var lastPageX;
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#inner").mousedown(function(e) {
// Reference to the drag pad
var inner = $(this);
// Position where mouse was pressed
lastPageX = e.pageX;
// Attach mouse move listener
$(inner).mousemove(function(e) {
var diff = lastPageX - e.pageX;
// Scroll based on the new curson position
$("#outer").scrollLeft($("#outer").scrollLeft() + diff);
lastPageX = e.pageX;
});
// Remove mouse move listener
$(window).mouseup(function() {
$(inner).unbind("mousemove");
});
return false;
});
});
</script>
<style>
#outer {
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
background-color: Lime;
overflow: scroll;
}
#inner {
height: 900px;
width: 900px;
background-color: Yellow;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="outer">
<div id="inner">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Edit: Return false after the mousedown is handled to prevent firefox from grabbing the div.
