JQuery :: Finding Out How Close To Finished An Animate Element Is
Jan 31, 2011
I want to call stop() on an element animated with animate() based on a user hover. I also want to figure out how close to complete the animation was when the user hovered.
In a simple case I would just compare the animated element property's current value (ie height) to its target value, but in this case I'm creating a generic animator and don't actually know (without a ton of otherwise unnecessary housekeeping) what properties are being animated.
I'm fairly new to jquery and I've been stumped on this one for a day now. I'm creating a lighbox type photo gallery on a page. The box is simply a hidden div that is displayed when the user clicks a link. When the link is clicked to launch a gallery I'm using the .load() function to grab another page and load it into the hidden div which is now displayed.
The code looks like this $('#galleryBox').load('boxModal.php?ID=' + ID)); The issue I'm having is after I load up the gallery box with boxModal.php.. I want to be able to respond to the click or mouseover event of the images that have loaded in that box. But I can't seem to find the images in the DOM. Is it possible to add event handlers to images loaded using the .load() function?
I have a calendar in which each day is a separate div, and all these are within a container div #cal. When a user mouses over one of the days, I want to figure out the index number of that day's div within #cal. Simplified example:
I can easily get the index of #nov2 from Firebug if I do this in the console: $('#cal div').index($('#nov2')
But, I can't figure out how to write a function so that I don't need to assign an id to each day div. I'd like to be able to just take "this" from the moused-over div, and pass that to a function that can turn it into the needed index.
I am working on a little project with fullcalendar but while writing some callback functions stumbled upon an issue: Fullcalendar generates html that looks like this: <a><span></span><span></span><span></span></a>.
Now there is an eventClick callback that is fired when clicking on that <a> element. However, in that callback I would like to know which <span> element was clicked.
Since jQuery parses the entire dom first, is there any efficiency gain in directing it via the entire CSS chain rather than directly to an ID? That is, if I have a Div with an ID of "foo" and it contains a P with an ID of "bar", is there any speed advantage in using $(div#foo p#bar) as opposed to just using $(p#bar), assuming jQuery would be more efficient if it had both indexes?
Basically, I'm looking for a way to find a list element that has a ul child, and then hide or show that ul. What I have here doesn't seem to be working.
I'm pretty new to jQuery and this is giving me a lot of trouble! I found some code jQuery code to give me a great start but I can't get the logic to where I need it to be. Here is what I have:
What would be the easier way to do this? For each of the list elements I want to check how many image elements are inside each, and do something with the one that has only one image.
For example, if we press tab in a page and the tab finds an A Link and then we press enter, it will be like Clicking in the link. I would like to know how do I do to make that kind of selection in my element, cause I wanna make a function to select the item so the user when pressing enter it opens the <a> link.
there is a way to add an animation to an element that is being animated?I have an element called #example, i call $(#example).animate({"left",500},10000}, after 5 seconds i want to animate also the top attribute, then i call $(#example).animate({"top",500},10000}. It does not work.I have to stop animate, then create a second animate, or there is some way to merge the two animations?
However this doesn't always work in my script. Now, I've googled how to find the position of an element. And come accross many scripts which supposedly all find the position of any object. Some are very long scripts and some are very short all using a variety of methods. Incidently none of which work, they all return (0,0).
I forget how to do this. Maybe somebody can point me to a decent tutorial. But I'm looking to grab the width of an <li>, including padding and margins that doesn't have a set width, and has one of 'auto' or 0.

im having trouble using JQUERYs animate function. Basicly the div has a mouseover event that slides another div (that is inside the original div) upwards. The first div has a mouseout event that slides the second div downwards and out of view. The problem being that when you hover over the second div it fires the first divs mouseout event. Ive tried googling this and have tried adding some event bubbling but having serious trouble with it. here is the website... [URL] hover over the image and you should see the caption appear, roll over the caption and it goes crazy.
Is it possible to do this? Say I want to find out where on the screen a specific div is, and i want to know the values of the left and top properties. Can i find this out? If so, how?
I recently wrote some code, which involves a list. Elements can be picked by up/down arrow keys.To highlight the elements, I'm using a similar call to objects[focus]stop (true,true).animate({'opacity': 1}, 200);(As you can see, all DOM elements are cached)the same call goes to the element which lost the focus, with an opacity value of 0.2.Whatsoever, I noticed on testing that the performance is just fine on firefox 2/3, IE 7/8, even Safari has good results.Only exception so far is Chrome, it's terribly slow on those calls with a CPU load of 40-50%.I didn't further investigate that behavior since it still works "OK" on Chrome, but SIGNIFICANT slower.
I have a toggle animation which puts the area I want to show to the user in view, ones that animation has played I want to animate several other objects on the page. I have the code to animate one object by using the callback function in animate. But is it possible to animate several objects in the callback function?. this is the code I have so far
I've modified the Filament Group's jQuery Collapsible plugin so it would close any open elements when an new one is clicked to open. I'm using this plugin instead of the standard jQuery accordion because of how it handles accessibility issues. But now, when a user clicks an already 'open' element to close it, the element closes momentarily & then opens again. Not the desired behavior. It appears that the 'else' statement that handles this is being incorrectly interpreted (or rather, I'm passing the wrong data). here's the section of the code before modification:
I use the wonderful .animate() method to create a "parallax website". It's still in developpement, but you can see the result : www.ohnewgarden.fr My problem : When you are at the very right, the animate effect reset my left property before animating. Which is weird is that this "reset" is applied only to two layers, without any sense. I'm going crazy !
So if someone could help me, it will be very nice ! It's probably my code which is wrong, but I can't see the mistake.
[Code]...
I said for my defense, I have tried to remove .stop(), tried to change parameters of .stop(), tried to reset (like there) the left property with a .css() method, and I have also tried to animate with "+=" (like there), but nothing works. If you follow to the link I gave, you could see very easily by clicking on "Contact" and after animation by clicking on "Accueil".
