I have a container div that holds a react handsontable component, and I want to use the autosizing of the component but at the same time have it centered in the screen (or an outer div).
So in this example:
https://jsfiddle.net/opike99/b1ux0rLy/5/
I'm trying to get the width of div #example1 to match the contents of the table (so by changing the number of columns, the div width will adjust accordingly).
HTML:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/handsontable#11.1/dist/handsontable.full.min.js"></script>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/handsontable#11.1/dist/handsontable.full.min.css" />
<script src="https://handsontable.com/docs/8.3.2/components/numbro/dist/languages.min.js"></script>
<div class="outer2">
<div class="outer1">
<div id="example1">
</div>
</div>
</div>
JS:
const container = document.querySelector('#example1');
const numberOfColumns = 7;
const hot = new Handsontable(container, {
data: Handsontable.helper.createSpreadsheetData(5, numberOfColumns),
colHeaders: true,
rowHeaders: true,
hiddenColumns: true,
width: 'auto',
height: 'auto',
licenseKey: 'non-commercial-and-evaluation',
});
// re-render your Handsontable instance
hot.render()
CSS:
.outer2 {
}
.outer1 {
}
#example1 {
border-style: solid;
/* width: fit-content; */
}
So I've been playing around with your example, and got the following results:
There's actually three tings you need to do:
The generated $('.wtHolder') has a width: 680px defined on a style attribute, so the only way to remove it is programatically.
$('.ht_master.handsontable, #example1') need width: fit-content
Using a flexbox, I was able to centre the table. I set display: flex; justify-content: center; on $('.outer1').
And for some reason, the order in which these are applied is important too. I got it working with a setTimeout, although you'd probably want something more sophisticated.
setTimeout(function() {
document.querySelector('.wtHolder').style.width = 'initial';
document.querySelector('#example1').style.width = 'fit-content';
const outer = document.querySelector('.outer1');
outer.style.display = 'flex';
outer.style.justifyContent = 'center';
}, 2000);
Let me know how you go.
I'm trying to perform the Jquery function below when the element becomes visible in the viewport rather than on the page load. What would I need to change to allow that to happen? I'm using an external JS file to perform the Jquery, so keep that in mind.
Here's a piece of the HTML that is associated with the Jquery function -
<div class="skillbar clearfix " data-percent="70%">
<div class="skillbar-title" style="background: #FF704D;">
<span>Illustrator</span></div>
<div class="skillbar-bar" style="background: #FF704D;"></div>
<div class="skill-bar-percent">70%</div>
</div>
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('.skillbar').each(function(){
jQuery(this).find('.skillbar-bar').animate({
width:jQuery(this).attr('data-percent')
},4000);
});
});
I once came across such problem and what I used is waypoints small library.
all you need is to include this library and do:
var waypoint = new Waypoint({
element: document.getElementById('waypoint'),
handler: function(direction) {
console.log('Element is in viewport');
}
})
Using CSS3 transitions instead of jQuery animations might be more performant and simpler. a cheap and nasty way of pushing it out of screen to demonstarate the effect.
There's a couple of things you'll need to do - firstly if you only want the animation to trigger when it's in the viewport then you'll need to check if anything is in the viewport on scroll. Then only update the bars width when it comes into view. If you want the effect to repeat every time it comes into viewport you'll need to set .skillbar-bar's width back to 0 if it's out of the viewport (just add an else statement to the viewport checking if)
I've added a 1000px margin-top and 400px margin-bottom in my example to .skillbar as a cheap and nasty way of demonstrating the effect
(function($){
$(document).ready(function(){
var $els = $('.skillbar'); // Note this must be moved to within event handler if dynamically adding elements - I've placed it for performance reasons
var $window = $(window);
$window.on('scroll', function(){
$els.each(function(){ // Iterate over all skillbars
var $this = $(this);
if($window.scrollTop() > $this.offset().top - $window.height()){ // Check if it's in viewport
$this.find('.skillbar-bar').css({'width' : $this.attr('data-percent')}); // Update the view with percentage
}
});
});
});
}(jQuery));
.skillbar{
margin-top: 1000px;
margin-bottom: 400px;
position: relative
}
.skillbar-bar{
transition: width 4s;
position: absolute;
height: 20px;
}
.skill-bar-percent{
position: absolute;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Scroll down 1000px :)
<div class="skillbar clearfix " data-percent="70%">
<div class="skillbar-title">
<span>Illustrator</span></div>
<div class="skillbar-bar" style="background: #FF704D; width: 20%"></div>
<div class="skill-bar-percent">70%</div>
</div>
This might work for you.
var el = $('.yourElement'),
offset = el.offset(),
scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();
//Check for scroll position
if ((scrollTop > offset.top)) {
// Code..
}
I have an element on the page that I've already centered horizontally and vertically (It's a jQuery UI Modal Dialog), and want to resize it using .animate() like this:
<div id="element" style="width: 100px; height: 100px;">
Hi Stack Overflow!
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#element').animate({ height: "200px" });
</script>
That works fine, except the element only grows downwards. What I'm trying to do is have the element grow vertically in both directions (in this case 50px in each direction) so it stays centered. Is there a way that it can be done?
Live Demo
var growEl = $("#grow"),
curHeight = $("#grow").height(),
curTop = growEl.offset().top,
newHeight = 200,
newMargin = curTop -(newHeight -curHeight)/2;
if(newMargin < 0){
newMargin = 0;
}
$("#grow").animate({height:newHeight+"px", marginTop:newMargin + 'px'});
Formula for figuring out what to make the margin
NewTopMargin = CurrentMargin-(NewHeight-OldHeight)/2
Thanks #bobsoap for reminding me to use offset.top
margin-top: -50px, height: 50px;
That sort of thing (sorry its not code formatted) i'm sure you can insert it correctly.
i want to make a draggable image in jquery.
first of all my experience with jquery is 0. having said that let me describe what i want to achieve. i have fixed width/height div. and the image contained inside the div is large in size. so i want the image to be draggable inside that div so that the user can see the entire image.
can someone help. pls be a little elaborate about the procedure considering my jquery fluency.
You can use the following;
$(function() {
$("#draggable").draggable();
});
.container {
margin-top: 50px;
cursor: move;
}
#screen {
overflow: hidden;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
clear: both;
border: 1px solid black;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<div class="container">
<div id="screen">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/200/200" class="drag-image" id="draggable" />
</div>
</div>
You want the jQuery Draggable UI tool. The code for this, as with all jQuery, is very simple:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#draggable").draggable();
});
Will create a draggable object from a standard html tag (the IMG in your case). And for limiting it's mobility to a specific region, you would look into its containment option.
Update: "What is '#draggable' and 'ready'"?
'#draggable' represents the element that you want to be able to drag. The hash (#) symbol represents an ID. When you add your image tags, may give give it an id like the following:
<img src="myimage.jpg" id="draggable" />
That will make the javascript above make your image draggable, because it has the '#draggable' id that the jQuery is looking for.
'.ready()' is the method that is automagically raised by your browser once the page is finished loading. Developers are encouraged by the jQuery group to place all jQuery code within this method to ensure all of the elements on the page are completely loaded prior to any jQuery code attempts to manipulate them.
to limit to a region for this example, containment is not much of a help.
I have implemented this for vertical only scroll, needs enhancement for horizontal limit:
stop: function(event, ui) {
var helper = ui.helper, pos = ui.position;
var h = -(helper.outerHeight() - $(helper).parent().outerHeight());
if (pos.top >= 0) {
helper.animate({ top: 0 });
} else if (pos.top <= h) {
helper.animate({ top: h });
}
}
$('#dragMe').draggable({ containment: 'body' });
This code will make it posible to drag the div with the ID of dragMe where ever you want inside the body of the document. You can also write a class or id as containment.
$('#dragMe').draggable({ containment: '#container' });
This code will make the div dragMe able to be draggable inside of the id container.
Hope this helps otherwise you should be able to find your answer here http://jqueryui.com/demos/draggable/
Expanding on the answer from PH. this will provide an elastic bounceback whenever the image is dragged to the point the underlying container is exposed:
stop: function(event, ui) {
var helper = ui.helper, pos = ui.position;
var h = -(helper.outerHeight() - $(helper).parent().outerHeight());
var w = -(helper.outerWidth() - $(helper).parent().outerWidth());
if (pos.top <= h) {
helper.animate({ top: h });
} else if (pos.top > 0) {
helper.animate({ top: 0 });
}
if (pos.left <= w) {
helper.animate({ left: w });
} else if (pos.left > 0) {
helper.animate({ left: 0 });
}
}
I have a scrolled div and I want to have an event when I click on it, it will force this div to scroll to view an element inside.
I wrote its JavasSript like this:
document.getElementById(chr).scrollIntoView(true);
but this scrolls all the page while scrolling the div itself.
How to fix that?
I want to say it like this:
MyContainerDiv.getElementById(chr).scrollIntoView(true);
You need to get the top offset of the element you'd like to scroll into view, relative to its parent (the scrolling div container):
var myElement = document.getElementById('element_within_div');
var topPos = myElement.offsetTop;
The variable topPos is now set to the distance between the top of the scrolling div and the element you wish to have visible (in pixels).
Now we tell the div to scroll to that position using scrollTop:
document.getElementById('scrolling_div').scrollTop = topPos;
If you're using the prototype JS framework, you'd do the same thing like this:
var posArray = $('element_within_div').positionedOffset();
$('scrolling_div').scrollTop = posArray[1];
Again, this will scroll the div so that the element you wish to see is exactly at the top (or if that's not possible, scrolled as far down as it can so it's visible).
You would have to find the position of the element in the DIV you want to scroll to, and set the scrollTop property.
divElem.scrollTop = 0;
Update:
Sample code to move up or down
function move_up() {
document.getElementById('divElem').scrollTop += 10;
}
function move_down() {
document.getElementById('divElem').scrollTop -= 10;
}
Method 1 - Smooth scrolling to an element inside an element
var box = document.querySelector('.box'),
targetElm = document.querySelector('.boxChild'); // <-- Scroll to here within ".box"
document.querySelector('button').addEventListener('click', function(){
scrollToElm( box, targetElm , 600 );
});
/////////////
function scrollToElm(container, elm, duration){
var pos = getRelativePos(elm);
scrollTo( container, pos.top , 2); // duration in seconds
}
function getRelativePos(elm){
var pPos = elm.parentNode.getBoundingClientRect(), // parent pos
cPos = elm.getBoundingClientRect(), // target pos
pos = {};
pos.top = cPos.top - pPos.top + elm.parentNode.scrollTop,
pos.right = cPos.right - pPos.right,
pos.bottom = cPos.bottom - pPos.bottom,
pos.left = cPos.left - pPos.left;
return pos;
}
function scrollTo(element, to, duration, onDone) {
var start = element.scrollTop,
change = to - start,
startTime = performance.now(),
val, now, elapsed, t;
function animateScroll(){
now = performance.now();
elapsed = (now - startTime)/1000;
t = (elapsed/duration);
element.scrollTop = start + change * easeInOutQuad(t);
if( t < 1 )
window.requestAnimationFrame(animateScroll);
else
onDone && onDone();
};
animateScroll();
}
function easeInOutQuad(t){ return t<.5 ? 2*t*t : -1+(4-2*t)*t };
.box{ width:80%; border:2px dashed; height:180px; overflow:auto; }
.boxChild{
margin:600px 0 300px;
width: 40px;
height:40px;
background:green;
}
<button>Scroll to element</button>
<div class='box'>
<div class='boxChild'></div>
</div>
Method 2 - Using Element.scrollIntoView:
Note that browser support isn't great for this one
var targetElm = document.querySelector('.boxChild'), // reference to scroll target
button = document.querySelector('button'); // button that triggers the scroll
// bind "click" event to a button
button.addEventListener('click', function(){
targetElm.scrollIntoView()
})
.box {
width: 80%;
border: 2px dashed;
height: 180px;
overflow: auto;
scroll-behavior: smooth; /* <-- for smooth scroll */
}
.boxChild {
margin: 600px 0 300px;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
background: green;
}
<button>Scroll to element</button>
<div class='box'>
<div class='boxChild'></div>
</div>
Method 3 - Using CSS scroll-behavior:
.box {
width: 80%;
border: 2px dashed;
height: 180px;
overflow-y: scroll;
scroll-behavior: smooth; /* <--- */
}
#boxChild {
margin: 600px 0 300px;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
background: green;
}
<a href='#boxChild'>Scroll to element</a>
<div class='box'>
<div id='boxChild'></div>
</div>
Native JS, Cross Browser, Smooth Scroll (Update 2020)
Setting ScrollTop does give the desired result but the scroll is very abrupt. Using jquery to have smooth scroll was not an option. So here's a native way to get the job done that supports all major browsers. Reference - caniuse
// get the "Div" inside which you wish to scroll (i.e. the container element)
const El = document.getElementById('xyz');
// Lets say you wish to scroll by 100px,
El.scrollTo({top: 100, behavior: 'smooth'});
// If you wish to scroll until the end of the container
El.scrollTo({top: El.scrollHeight, behavior: 'smooth'});
That's it!
And here's a working snippet for the doubtful -
document.getElementById('btn').addEventListener('click', e => {
e.preventDefault();
// smooth scroll
document.getElementById('container').scrollTo({top: 175, behavior: 'smooth'});
});
/* just some styling for you to ignore */
.scrollContainer {
overflow-y: auto;
max-height: 100px;
position: relative;
border: 1px solid red;
width: 120px;
}
body {
padding: 10px;
}
.box {
margin: 5px;
background-color: yellow;
height: 25px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
#goose {
background-color: lime;
}
<!-- Dummy html to be ignored -->
<div id="container" class="scrollContainer">
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div id="goose" class="box">goose</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
</div>
<button id="btn">goose</button>
Update: As you can perceive in the comments, it seems that Element.scrollTo() is not supported in IE11. So if you don't care about IE11 (you really shouldn't, Microsoft is retiring IE11 in June 2022), feel free to use this in all your projects. Note that support exists for Edge! So you're not really leaving your Edge/Windows users behind ;)
Reference
To scroll an element into view of a div, only if needed, you can use this scrollIfNeeded function:
function scrollIfNeeded(element, container) {
if (element.offsetTop < container.scrollTop) {
container.scrollTop = element.offsetTop;
} else {
const offsetBottom = element.offsetTop + element.offsetHeight;
const scrollBottom = container.scrollTop + container.offsetHeight;
if (offsetBottom > scrollBottom) {
container.scrollTop = offsetBottom - container.offsetHeight;
}
}
}
document.getElementById('btn').addEventListener('click', ev => {
ev.preventDefault();
scrollIfNeeded(document.getElementById('goose'), document.getElementById('container'));
});
.scrollContainer {
overflow-y: auto;
max-height: 100px;
position: relative;
border: 1px solid red;
width: 120px;
}
body {
padding: 10px;
}
.box {
margin: 5px;
background-color: yellow;
height: 25px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
#goose {
background-color: lime;
}
<div id="container" class="scrollContainer">
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div id="goose" class="box">goose</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
<div class="box">duck</div>
</div>
<button id="btn">scroll to goose</button>
Code should be:
var divElem = document.getElementById('scrolling_div');
var chElem = document.getElementById('element_within_div');
var topPos = divElem.offsetTop;
divElem.scrollTop = topPos - chElem.offsetTop;
You want to scroll the difference between child top position and div's top position.
Get access to child elements using:
var divElem = document.getElementById('scrolling_div');
var numChildren = divElem.childNodes.length;
and so on....
If you are using jQuery, you could scroll with an animation using the following:
$(MyContainerDiv).animate({scrollTop: $(MyContainerDiv).scrollTop() + ($('element_within_div').offset().top - $(MyContainerDiv).offset().top)});
The animation is optional: you could also take the scrollTop value calculated above and put it directly in the container's scrollTop property.
We can resolve this problem without using JQuery and other libs.
I wrote following code for this purpose:
You have similar structure ->
<div class="parent">
<div class="child-one">
</div>
<div class="child-two">
</div>
</div>
JS:
scrollToElement() {
var parentElement = document.querySelector('.parent');
var childElement = document.querySelector('.child-two');
parentElement.scrollTop = childElement.offsetTop - parentElement.offsetTop;
}
We can easily rewrite this method for passing parent and child as an arguments
Another example of using jQuery and animate.
var container = $('#container');
var element = $('#element');
container.animate({
scrollTop: container.scrollTop = container.scrollTop() + element.offset().top - container.offset().top
}, {
duration: 1000,
specialEasing: {
width: 'linear',
height: 'easeOutBounce'
},
complete: function (e) {
console.log("animation completed");
}
});
None of other answer fixed my issue.
I played around with scrollIntoView arguments and managed to found a solution. Setting inline to start and block to nearest prevents parent element (or entire page) to scroll:
document.getElementById(chr).scrollIntoView({
behavior: 'smooth',
block: 'nearest',
inline: 'start'
});
There are two facts :
1) Component scrollIntoView is not supported by safari.
2) JS framework jQuery can do the job like this:
parent = 'some parent div has css position==="fixed"' || 'html, body';
$(parent).animate({scrollTop: $(child).offset().top}, duration)
Here's a simple pure JavaScript solution that works for a target Number (value for scrollTop), target DOM element, or some special String cases:
/**
* target - target to scroll to (DOM element, scrollTop Number, 'top', or 'bottom'
* containerEl - DOM element for the container with scrollbars
*/
var scrollToTarget = function(target, containerEl) {
// Moved up here for readability:
var isElement = target && target.nodeType === 1,
isNumber = Object.prototype.toString.call(target) === '[object Number]';
if (isElement) {
containerEl.scrollTop = target.offsetTop;
} else if (isNumber) {
containerEl.scrollTop = target;
} else if (target === 'bottom') {
containerEl.scrollTop = containerEl.scrollHeight - containerEl.offsetHeight;
} else if (target === 'top') {
containerEl.scrollTop = 0;
}
};
And here are some examples of usage:
// Scroll to the top
var scrollableDiv = document.getElementById('scrollable_div');
scrollToTarget('top', scrollableDiv);
or
// Scroll to 200px from the top
var scrollableDiv = document.getElementById('scrollable_div');
scrollToTarget(200, scrollableDiv);
or
// Scroll to targetElement
var scrollableDiv = document.getElementById('scrollable_div');
var targetElement= document.getElementById('target_element');
scrollToTarget(targetElement, scrollableDiv);
given you have a div element you need to scroll inside, try this piece of code
document.querySelector('div').scroll(x,y)
this works with me inside a div with a scroll, this should work with you in case you pointed the mouse over this element and then tried to scroll down or up. If it manually works, it should work too
User Animated Scrolling
Here's an example of how to programmatically scroll a <div> horizontally, without JQuery. To scroll vertically, you would replace JavaScript's writes to scrollLeft with scrollTop, instead.

Auto Animated Scrolling
In addition, here are functions for scrolling a <div> fully to the left and right. The only thing we change here is we make a check to see if the full extension of the scroll has been utilised before making a recursive call to scroll again.

I needed to scroll a dynamically loading element on a page so my solution was a little more involved.
This will work on static elements that are not lazy loading data and data being dynamically loaded.
const smoothScrollElement = async (selector: string, scrollBy = 12, prevCurrPos = 0) => {
