Just a few questions about simple animations (that aren't Flash). I've searched around but haven't been able to find anything really concrete about alternatives to JS. Basically in terms of simple animation, is JS the be-all-end-all? What other options are there in terms of simple animated menus (besides Flash & animated GIFs)?
Something like the above Quick Links menu; would something like that be possible in only Javascript? Or would there be an alternative?
I have created an animation using jpeg images, arrays, and timeouts. However, I would like this animations to be an image, not a script. So when people right click on it, they see image5.gif and when they go to that image location, they see the animation.

$('.hireMe').mouseover(function(){
$(this).stop().animate(
{backgroundPosition:"(0 -25px)"},
{duration:200});
[code]....
And what this is doing is when a mouse is put over my div 'hireMe', the background position is animated upwards and in fades in my text with an id of 'resume'. However if halfway though the FadeIn you move the mouse out of the container, it will permantly be stuck in this limbo world and will never return to 100% opacity again. Am I utilizing the stop() properly?
This is the website that is in question. Below is the script that I think is causing the problem. Every time you navigate to a new page I want the pages to fade out/in. However, there is a brief blink in between animations. I have tried to use stop() and not, but neither seems to help. I will post both options.
Option 1:
Option 2:
I want to animate a button with .hover and then animate it even more with .click. The problem is when the button is clicked, the mouse is no longer hovered so the hover returns to the default position. I need to stop the .hover from returning to the default non-hover state when the button is clicked.
Hover Code:
$('#about-btn').hover(function () {
$('#about-btn').stop().animate({
marginLeft : 27
[code]....
I taught it to myself without even having any true JavaScript experience and am sure that while functional, many of my implementations could/should be written completely differently. I'm running some animations that look great in everything except for IE. In IE I'm seeing a thin, ragged black border around some of the elements that I'm animating.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have some code that executes two animations when the user clicks on an area. I want both animations to go off at the exact same time, however from time to time it seems as if one will be triggered first and then after a slight delay the second one will be triggered. This, of course, is noticeable and a problem. How can I ensure that they will go off together?
This is a watered down version of my code:
$('#container).click(function(){
$('#circle').animate({left:'500px'},1000);
$('#square').animate({left:'200px'},1000);
});
I have applied the fadeIn() and fadeOut() effects to a li>ul in my html, but if the user leaves the ul briefly then re-enters it before it has finished fading out, the ul fades back in again. This can happen many times over by accident and it's very annoying.
If the user leaves the ul I want it to fadeOut() and NOT fadeIn() again until the user re-enters the parent li element.Is there a way of ensuring this? I have done a quick search for while and if/then/else functions but haven't been getting anywhere. This is what I have, very simple indeed:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".nav ul").hide();
$(".nav li.conductor").hover(function() {
[code]....
I am working on some web projects that make use of still frame images that are put together to create animations. These animations are then used as building blocks to create an interactive application, I am hoping to get input on a current project that was just completed by a javascript programmer I am working with.
I am looking for ways to make development of these types of applications more efficient in the future, I am considering using jquery or some other framework. I am very interested to hear anyone's input on this. Something I have been thinking of is making a "code repository" of sorts where snippets of code are saved for use in future projects that may require similar effects.[URL]..
i have in place an fade in application of addclass to a selector but i would like the transition to use one of the easing plugin equations instead for more dynamism. I can't tell how i would do this, since all the examples only use the animate function.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn pseudo code, here's what I'm trying to do with some text:
shrinkText.changeText.EnlargeText.
The jQuery I'm using for this:
$('span#calendarNumber').animate({
color: '#999',
fontSize: '12px'
}, 500 ).html($('#calculatorSampleInPopup1').val()).animate({
color: '#900',
fontSize: '40px'
}, 2500, 'easeOutElastic' );
What happens visually upon triggering this is this:
- HTML content changes
- text shrinks
- text enlarges
I think what is happening is that the first animation is suppose to span 500 (miliseconds?) but jQuery doesn't pause for that, it just starts the animating and goes immediate to the second event which is to change the text. In otherwords, I think it's triggering correctly, it's just not producing the visual effect I want. Is the solution to put a pause of some sort between the first two events? If so, what's the proper method?
I've downloaded the folowing plugin: [URL]
And it worked ! But now I want to now if I cand do more color animations on one element.
I have an example, when an <li> is hovered, it chages its background color, and at the same time, I want it to change the color (text color):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

I have a group of 4 divs and I'm looking to use jQuery to animate them once, then have a delay using delay(), and then run another set of animations on them, putting the divs back to their original configuration. Here's the code that I have:
//only selectors called 'option1' are affected by delay, and not 'option1 img' or 'option2'
$("#option1").showOption1().delay(3000).hideOption1();
//if i don't attach to #option1, delay doesn't work, but the animations that need to happen simultaneously work
[Code]....
will work from hideOption1() after the delay. The rest of hideOption1() is fired immediately after showOption1() finishes, ignoring the delay.
On the other hand, if I run line 5, all the code in hideOption1() runs simultaneously as desired, but ignores the delay entirely, running immediately after showOption1() finishes. How can I have all the code in hideOption1() run simultaneously after the delay?
So I have a navigation thats decently simple, but the JS doesnt seem to operate in the correct manner. When i hover over a child navigation list item, the parent will start its animation as well. I know when you hover over the child you are in turn hovering over the parent, but is there a way to get the parent to not animate? [URL]
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want create a page which has animation at the bottom of that page. I use jQuery to do that. This is the way I do it
<a href="#" class="animation">Animate this</a>
And this is the jquery
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.animation').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
//animation goes here;
});
});
When I run the code, all animation run very well except the page always scroll to the top. I try to change the href attribute to javascript:void(0); but it still run like that..
I want to use the Ajaxify-Plugin ( URL... ) for my new Website. It fits exactly my needs.Sadly the animations are not working correctly.When your Internet-connection is too fast, you don't see animations at all (on a local machine also). I putted up a demo: URL...The content is supposed to fade out, then the new content gets loaded and then this new content should fade in nicely again, like in my own example, which I got from a tutorial that is just using pure jQuery resources: URL... [code]
The author of the plugin himself is using a server delay to overcome the sideeffect ( URL... - click some links under "New v2 features"), but i think that's the wrong way to go for production.Sadly im not good enough in JavaScript-programming to tweak the plugin by myself, to get it to work like in the second example... I tried it now for 6 hours.I would really like to use Ajaxify, because it has all the features I need united in it. The only thing that is not working are this animations.
This is a weird one. I have a page I'm working on, and I made a simple div that slides up to display some content, then slides down, replaces the content and slides back up again. Basically a showy news ticker.
When I created the div/animation code it ran fine. smooth as silk. However, I then decided to move that part of the html into a templated system, where some php reads a second file and outputs the contents into the webpage. (real simple stuff, it uses file_get_contents and echo to output the file contents).
Using this system, it all displays correctly, but the animation is suddenly slow and jerky. This doesn't make sense to me. Why would the animation suddenly become jerky just because the html that creates the divs is now created via php? Surely the php fires long before jquery gets involved - so why would this occur?
I have an image that I want to animate several properties, starting at the same time but ending at different times.
I want opacity to go from 0 to 1 in 2 seconds, and dimensions to grow in 10 seconds. Both animations should start at the same time.
I'm calling animate twice, but the second animation waits for the first one to complete.
Is there a way to get around this without having to code my own animate function?
I have some elements that hide and show real quick when I click on the same selected checkbox. I only want to hide or show something on change, and only when I need to. The way the behavior works now is I have 20 checkboxes, and each time I check one (even if it's the same), I see the associated elements hiding, then showing real quick. I don't want anything to happen though if all they do is toggle the checkbox, unless there's a condition to uncheck it. It's kind of hard to convey what I'm talking about here, but maybe my code can shed some light:[code]

I found this article over devness: [URL] It is fantastic, but I'm a complete n00b and I was wondering what the JavaScript would look like if the situation was a little different. Picture this: A Super Mario sprite with him standing normally, but to his right is the word "Home". Upon roll over of either the sprite itself or the text, mario does one of his trademark jumps by the way of a few sprites. I know how to do this in flash, but I would like to eliminate it so I have maximum compatibility and no external plugins required.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with JQuery powered animations in the lower part, they are sort of blacked out, see the site and you will understand [URL] How can I fix it? Works fine on Chrome and Firefox
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have noticed that when doing animations (moving an item across the screen), at times the animations are choppy in firefox. It is hard to explain how to reproduce this problem as it seems it is dependent on random elements of the page. I have tested the same page in Opera, Safari and IE and the animations are very smooth.[code]If I put the code block anywhere but inside the content div, the animation is smooth. However once put where it belongs, the animation becomes choppy in firefox. I was playing around a bit and found out that doing some random changes causes the animations to become smooth. For instance, removing height: 100% on the nav makes the animations in the content div smooth. I lucked out with this as it doesnt change the layout of the website at all. Another solution I found is that if I remove the box shadows I have on the mainsection the animations become smooth. These attributes are no problem for Safari and Opera though.I recently rewrote the plugin I was working on and ran into this problem again. However, removing the height:100% trick did not work.
I know this is most likely a problem with Firefox, I just wanted to see if any of you know a solution. Also, have you seen any related tickets in mozilla bugzilla? If not, I may have to create a new ticket for it.
I am attempting to do two things and I'm missing a vital element: ajax call to an XML file to be inserted onto a page, FOLLOWED by selecting these newly created elements to apply event handlers on them. I am near certain that the problem is that the selectors are not 'seeing' these elments and it's an issue of running the event handler only AFTER these elements have been loaded.
How do you do this? I already have a $(document).ready(function() { in order which I naively thought would take care of this exact issue...
My Javascript is very limited, but I get on pretty well with Jquery (I love it!) so some of what I say here may be seriously flawed I've done alot of searching on this but not found anything that fits what I need (I'd rather write and understand my own code than use a plugin) What a want is a simple function (or other means) of replicating the callback function for lengthy animations (so I don't end up with a load of functions within functions within functions) So I want to be able to animate (or change) a multiple number of elements IN TURN - ie once the previous animation has completed - eg
div1.animate({property: value}, 'fast');
div2.animate({property: value}, 'fast');
div3.css({property: value});
div1.animate({property: value}, 'fast');
div1.css({property: value});
div3.animate({property: value}, 'fast');
I know I can do this with callbacks, but as I said, this gets messy Can I stick these in an array and pass to a function to manage this (and if so how baring in mind my limited Javascript
