Im new to learning JQuery. Im doing a sample from JQuery Novice to Ninja and Im getting an error when I move my mouse over then next item. The #navigation_blob dissapears it could be a css problem for all I know but run the code tell me what you think I need to do. Im using the easing plugin
$(document).ready(function () {
$('<div id="navigation_blob"></div>').css({
width: $('#navigation li:first a').width() + 10,
height: $('#navigation li:first a').height() + 10
}).appendTo('#navigation');
$('#navigation a').hover(function () {
$('#navigation_blob').animate(
{ width: $(this).width() + 10, left: $(this).position().left },
{ duration: 'slow', easing: 'easeOutElastic', queue: false }
)
}, function () {
$('#navigation_blob')
.stop(true)
.animate(
{width: 'hide'},
{duration: 'slow', easing: 'easeOutCirc', queue: false}
)
.animate({
left: $('#navigation li:first a').position().left }, 'fast'
);
});
});
<style type="text/css">
#navigation li
{
display:inline-block
}
#navigation_blob
{
background-color:Blue; position:absolute; float:left
}
</style>
<ul id="navigation"><li>Home</li><li>About Us</li><li>Buy!</li><li>Gift Ideas</li></ul>
I think your problem is the width: 'hide' in the first .animate() of the second .hover() function:
//...
}, function () {
$('#navigation_blob')
.stop(true)
.animate(
{width: 'hide'},
//...
I think your blob will, essentially, have display: none; once that animation completes so further manipulations of its width or position will have no visible effect. If you say {width: 0} it should work okay: http://jsfiddle.net/ambiguous/YaVzd/
You can also try adding an explicit .show() before the hover-in animation but that produces some odd effects: http://jsfiddle.net/ambiguous/uH9yJ/1/
It looks like the version of jQuery is the culprit here. In this fiddle everything looks fine (using jQuery 1.4.2). However, if you change the version to 1.4.4 (the latest version), things start acting weird. Additionally, I downloaded the code from this book and it looks like the version of jQuery that this sample is using 1.4.
This makes sense if the author's update log is correct. According to the plugin's website, the last update was 12/11/07, which may mean development has stopped, but at the very least it probably means the plugin is out of date.
Hope that helps.

Currently im trying to set a page so that on click of a button one div .animates up and another .animates down in the place the old div was which has been successful. The problem is they both do this at the same time making the animation a bit messy. What I want to do is have the animation pause for about 2 seconds just after the first div has moved up and then bring down the second div. Here is my code so far:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.aboutcontainer,.contactcontainer,.homecontainer,.portfoliocontainer,.musiccontainer').hide();
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".homecontainer").show();
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#about').click(function go() {
$('.homecontainer,.musiccontainer, .portfoliocontainer, .contactcontainer').fadeOut({
queue: false,
duration: 'slow'
});
$('.homecontainer, .musiccontainer, .portfoliocontainer, .contactcontainer').animate({
'margin-Top': "-1000px" //moves left
});
$('.aboutcontainer ').fadeIn({
queue: false,
duration: 'slow'
});
$('.aboutcontainer').animate({
'margin-Top': "115px" //moves left
});
});
});
I have tried inserting a .delay(2000)just before the .fadeIn here:
$('.aboutcontainer ').fadeIn
and another one before the .animate here:
$('.aboutcontainer').animate
.delay does not seem to work at all (im using the lates jQuery version)
The weird thing is I have tried using a setTimeout() function like so:
setTimeout(function() {
$('.aboutcontainer ').fadeIn({
queue: false,
duration: 'slow'
});
$('.aboutcontainer').animate({
'margin-Top': '115px' //moves left
});
}, 2000);
When I do the .fadeIn pauses for the 2 seconds but the .animate does not. Can someone please let me know what im doing wrong here?
At your site .aboutcontainer has margin-top: 115px; at main.css:131.
So animation from margin-top: 115px; to margin-top: 115px; actually does nothing.
You can set, for example, margin-top: -1000px for .aboutcontainer and see the animation in action.
You are missing the time paramater for animation,
Try to add the timing for animation like below.
setTimeout(function() {
$('.aboutcontainer ').fadeIn({
queue: false,
duration: 'slow'
});
$(".aboutcontainer").animate({
marginTop: "115px",
}, 750);//Look at here..
}, 2000 );
here is the jsfiddle, check it http://jsfiddle.net/ganeshgaxy/d6g1empb/
I have this semi-slider-style UI where new terms are added in from the left: http://jsfiddle.net/v4v5cvkz/. I'm using the jQuery prependTo function to do this. My issue is that I want the terms that are already displayed to perform an animated slide to the right when a new term gets added, rather than suddenly "appear" in the correct position. I did try adding a "displayed" class to terms that had successfully shown up, and tried adding a slide-to-right animation after that, but that didn't quite achieve the effect I was going for (the "displayed" objects were moved much further to the right than I expected).
Here is the problematic code (you'll probably want to view the fiddle to see it in context though):
function addToStream(term, delay) {
setTimeout(function(){
$("<div />")
.addClass("stream_term")
.html(term)
.css({
opacity: 0
})
.prependTo("#stream_terms")
.animate({opacity:1},
{ duration: 1000,
complete: function() {
$(this).addClass("displayed");
}
});
}, delay);
}
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you!
*Note: I have access to jQuery UI in my code, though it isn't linked in the fiddle. Also, if anyone knows of a plugin that can do this sort of thing better than I can, please let me know. The closest one I was able to find was Fraction Slider, but I didn't find it obvious how to create a similar UI with it (it might also be overkill for my purposes).
Here's a way to do it:
function addToStream(term, delay) {
setTimeout(function(){
var newDiv = $("<div />");
newDiv.addClass("stream_term")
.html(term)
.css({
opacity: 0,
display: 'none'
}).prependTo("#stream_terms");
var width = newDiv.width();
var height = newDiv.height();
newDiv.css({
width: 0,
height: height,
display: 'inline-block'
})
.animate({
width: width,
margin: '0 10px',
padding: '5px 10px'
}, 1000)
.animate({opacity: 1}, 1000, function(){
$(this).addClass("displayed");
});
}, delay);
}
It also needs the following CSS changes:
.stream_term {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}

I put together a jQuery animation for a menu background. The menu has a dropdown and when you hover over the menu the animation kicks in, but the dropdown starts to act all wonky. Pretty new to jquery so not sure why this is doing that.
I added a div (menu-bg) with absolute position to change height on hover inside the menu.
Here is my javascript controlling the animation:
$('.navbar-nav >li > a').hover(
function() {
$(this).stop().next().animate({
height: "60px"
}, {
easing: "swing",
queue: true,
duration: 400
});
},
function() {
$(this).stop().next().animate({
height: "0px"
}, {
easing: "swing",
queue: true,
duration: 200
});
});
Here is a link to the site to view the actual issue, you will notice it when you hover over home.

I found the following changes in your code got the job done:
Inside of init.js around line 15 remove the 200 millisecond delay from the dropdown menu fadeOut().
$(this).find('.dropdown-menu').stop(true, true).delay(0).fadeOut();
I re-wrote your hover function to target the li's instead of the a, it looked like there was some kind of conflict there:
$('.navbar-nav > li').on({
mouseenter: function() {;
$(this).find('.menu-bg').animate({ height: "60px" });
},
mouseleave: function() {
$(this).find('.menu-bg').animate({ height: "0px" });
}
});
And finally, I overwrote the CSS that was creating that 5px margin gap on the .dropdown-menu:
.dropdown-menu {
margin-top:0px!important;
}
There you go! Please let me know if you'd like me to expand on anything?
Basically I have a small div that is initially styled to 60x60. I have created click event that animates the expansion of the div:
$("#myDiv").click(function () {
$(this).animate(
{
width: "350px",
height: "300px"
}, 500);
}
I would like to reverse this animation if someone clicks the div again. Is there anyway to toggle between the original size and the expanded size (still using the animate function) with each click?
I found the toggleClass function but I don't think this will work with animiate.
You can see a basic fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/NS9Qp/
$("#myDiv").toggle(function() {
$(this).stop().animate({
width: "350px",
height: "300px"
}, 500);
}, function() {
$(this).stop().animate({
width: "60px",
height: "60px"
}, 500);
});
Example.
The jQuery toggle() function allows you to define two or more functions to cycle through on each mouse click. In this case, the first one (triggered on the first click) expands the div and the second one (triggered on the second click) resets it. On the third click, it starts back at the first one, and so on.
More about toggle() here.
just to be different :
var size=[];
$("#cornerBox").click(function(){
$(this).width() >= 350 ? size=[60, 60] : size=[350, 300];
$(this).stop().animate({ width: size[0], height: size[1] },500);
});
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/NS9Qp/1/
I ended up using jQuery UI's animated toggleClass effect: http://jqueryui.com/demos/toggleClass/
super simple code:
$('h2').click(function() {
$(this).next().toggleClass("hidden", 1000);
});
Do not hardcode css styles (in my example I used inline css for myDiv element, put this in css files).
<div id="myDiv" style="background:red; width: 60px; height: 60px;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var div = $('#myDiv');
div
.attr('defWidth', div.width())
.attr('defHeight', div.height())
.toggle(function() {
$(this).stop().animate({width: "350px", height: "300px"}, 500);
}, function() {
$(this).stop().animate({width: $(this).attr('defWidth'), height: $(this).attr('defHeight')}, 500);
}
);
</script>
What I do for cases like this, is store a transformation array.
var transforms = { 'height0': 60, 'width0': 60, 'height1': 300, 'width1': 350};
Then, store a toggle between 0 or 1, and use the corresponding values for the animation.
EDIT: combine this with the previous example of toggle, and you've got yourself a solid working solution!
I'm using localScroll to create a content slider. The problem is that I want to give a fade effect to the div that I'm sliding out, to make it fade before it disappears.
Does anyone have any idea how can I make this? I tried something with onBefore and onAfter but I didn't get what I expected.
Thanks!
LE: here is the code that I'm using:
$(document).ready(function() {
var localScroll = $('#slider .slideshow-wrapper')
var localSections = $('#slider .slideshow-wrapper ul.slideshow li');
var local = $('#slider ul.slideshow');
local.css('width', localSections[0].offsetWidth * localSections.length);
var localScrollOptions = {
target: localScroll,
items: localSections,
navigation: 'ul.tabs li a',
hash: 'false',
axis: 'xy',
duration: 500,
easing: 'swing'
//onAfter: fadeAway
};
$('.container').serialScroll(localScrollOptions);
$('ul.tabs').find('a span').click(selectNav);
});
You can't use fadeOut because it sets the div style to display:none and thus the div has a zero height and width making the scrollTo plugin mess up pretty bad. I would suggest using opacity. In the code below I set the minimum opacity to 0.2 because when I set it to zero, it was hard to tell the content was scrolling.
I took the LocalScroll Demo and made these modifications - it seems to work pretty well. I didn't try to match your code because I know the code below works with the demo and your question title says localScroll but your code uses serialScroll. Anyway, I'm guessing the ul.slideshow li in your code should be equivalent to the .sub in the code below.
$.localScroll({
target: '#content', // could be a selector or a jQuery object too.
queue: false,
duration: 500,
hash: false,
easing: 'swing',
onBefore:function( e, anchor, $target ){
// The 'this' is the settings object, can be modified
$('.sub').animate({ opacity: 0.2 }, 250);
},
onAfter:function( anchor, settings ){
// The 'this' contains the scrolled element (#content)
$(anchor).animate({ opacity: 1 }, 250);
}
});
Edit: I posted a demo at this pastebin
