JavaScript - Modifying An Expanding Menu Script To Turn Off An Effect - Help Needed

Hi, I want to take this redirect script and modify it so that it rotates a banner image instead of sending the user to another page. The script works so that if the window is out of focus for 10 seconds, it redirects. The images are defined in an external style sheet so I guess I'll have to move that into the document. Also, I want it to be able to work more than once with multiple images, like if the user opens a new tab, comes back, goes to a different tab, the image should change twice. Here's the script:
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var xScroll, yScroll, timerPoll, timerRedirect, timerClock;
function initRedirect(){
if (typeof document.body.scrollTop != "undefined"){ //IE,NS7,Moz
xScroll = document.body.scrollLeft;
yScroll = document.body.scrollTop;
clearInterval(timerPoll); //stop polling scroll move
clearInterval(timerRedirect); //stop timed redirect
timerPoll = setInterval("pollActivity()",1); //poll scrolling
timerRedirect = setInterval("location.href='http://www.google.com",10000); //set timed
redirect
}
else if (typeof window.pageYOffset != "undefined"){ //other browsers that support pageYOffset/pageXOffset instead
xScroll = window.pageXOffset;
yScroll = window.pageYOffset;
clearInterval(timerPoll); //stop polling scroll move
clearInterval(timerRedirect); //stop timed redirect
timerPoll = setInterval("pollActivity()",1); //poll scrolling
timerRedirect = setInterval("location.href='http://www.google.com'",10000); //set timed
redirect
}
//else do nothing
}
function pollActivity(){
if ((typeof document.body.scrollTop != "undefined" && (xScroll!=document.body.scrollLeft ||
yScroll!=document.body.scrollTop)) //IE/NS7/Moz
||
(typeof window.pageYOffset != "undefined" && (xScroll!=window.pageXOffset || yScroll!=window.pageYOffset))) {
//other browsers
initRedirect(); //reset polling scroll position
}
} document.onmousemove=initRedirect;
document.onclick=initRedirect;
document.onkeydown=initRedirect;
window.onload=initRedirect;
window.onresize=initRedirect;
</script>

The image is defined in
Code:

<div id="home" style="background: url(images/banner.png) no-repeat;"></div>

I'm thinking I should replace banner.png with a variable or array name that has the image names defined somewhere and using a loop to choose the next image in the array. I took a C++ class but I don't know any JS, sorry for not doing homework. Thanks for reading this

Hi,

I am using this image rotation tool on my website but I would like to alter it slightly

http://www.zurb.com/playground/orbit...y-image-slider

See the small navigation dots under the images to select individual pages there are 4 of them (more if you add more images) - on 1 horizontal line. I would like to alter the code if possible so that the dots are in pairs going down the page (I wont bore you with the reason why) ie:

o o
o o
o o
o o

etc


The code the handles the dots is this:

Code:

// ==================
// ! BULLET NAV   
// ==================
            
            //Bullet Nav Setup
            if(options.bullets) { 
            	var bulletHTML = '<ul class="orbit-bullets"></ul>';            	
            	orbitWrapper.append(bulletHTML);
            	var bullets = orbitWrapper.children('ul.orbit-bullets');
            	for(i=0; i<numberSlides; i++) {
            		var liMarkup = $('<li>'+(i+1)+'</li>');
            		if(options.bulletThumbs) {
            			var	thumbName = slides.eq(i).data('thumb');
            			if(thumbName) {
            				var liMarkup = $('<li class="has-thumb">'+i+'</li>')
							liMarkup.css({"background" : "url("+options.bulletThumbLocation+thumbName+") no-repeat"});
							
            			}
            		} 
            		orbitWrapper.children('ul.orbit-bullets').append(liMarkup);
            		liMarkup.data('index',i);
					liMarkup.click(function() {
            			stopClock();
            			shift($(this).data('index'));
            		});
            	}
            	setActiveBullet();
            }
            
            //Bullet Nav Execution
        	function setActiveBullet() { 
        		if(!options.bullets) { return false; } else {
	        		bullets.children('li').removeClass('active').eq(activeSlide).addClass('active');
	        	}
        	}

The CSS for this is:

Code:

/* BULLET NAV
   ================================================== */

.orbit-bullets {
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 1000;
    list-style: none;
    bottom: 150px;
    left: 0%;
	margin-left: 0px;
    padding: 0; }

.orbit-bullets li {
    float: left;
    margin-left: 5px;
    cursor: pointer;
    color: #999;
    text-indent: -9999px;
    background: url(bullets.png) no-repeat 4px 0;
    width: 13px;
    height: 12px;
    overflow: hidden; }

.orbit-bullets li.active {
    color: #222;
    background-position: -8px 0; }
    
.orbit-bullets li.has-thumb {
    background: none;
    width: 100px;
    height: 75px; }

.orbit-bullets li.active.has-thumb {
    background-position: 0 0;
    border-top: 2px solid #000; }

The image file for the small dots is this:




I'm afraid I'm not a Java person at all and know little about it so I would be very grateful if you could help me out with it... if it's possible.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I have a countdown script I'd like to modify so that the countdown ends at a specific hour, and not on a particular day at midnight. I'm new to coding (Ruby), so still trying to get the hang of Javascript:

Code:

 
	var current="Expired"
	var montharray=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
 
	function countdown(yr,m,d){
		theyear=yr;themonth=m;theday=d
		var today=new Date()
		var todayy=today.getYear()
		if (todayy < 1000)
		todayy+=1900
		var todaym=today.getMonth()
		var todayd=today.getDate()
		var todayh=today.getHours()
		var todaymin=today.getMinutes()
		var todaysec=today.getSeconds()
		var todaystring=montharray[todaym]+" "+todayd+", "+todayy+" "+todayh+":"+todaymin+":"+todaysec
		futurestring=montharray[m-1]+" "+d+", "+yr
		dd=Date.parse(futurestring)-Date.parse(todaystring)
		dday=Math.floor(dd/(60*60*1000*24)*1)
		dhour=Math.floor((dd%(60*60*1000*24))/(60*60*1000)*1)
		dmin=Math.floor(((dd%(60*60*1000*24))%(60*60*1000))/(60*1000)*1)
		dsec=Math.floor((((dd%(60*60*1000*24))%(60*60*1000))%(60*1000))/1000*1)
		if(dday==0&&dhour==0&&dmin==0&&dsec==1){
			document.getElementById('counter').style.display='none';
			document.getElementById('expired').style.display='block';
			return
		}
		else{
			document.getElementById('countdown_day').innerHTML=dday;
			document.getElementById('countdown_hour').innerHTML=dhour;
			document.getElementById('countdown_min').innerHTML=dmin;
			document.getElementById('countdown_sec').innerHTML=dsec;
			setTimeout("countdown(theyear,themonth,theday)",1000)
		}
	}
 
 
 
	//MODIFY THIS LINE: enter the count down date using the format year/month/day
        //e.g. countdown(2009, 03, 23);
	countdown(2011, 12, 24);

I've tried to play with it by changing the following in green:

Code:

	

function countdown(yr,m,d, h ){
		theyear=yr;themonth=m;theday=d; thehour=h 
.
.
.
setTimeout("countdown(theyear,themonth,theday, thehour )",1000)
.
.
countdown(2011, 12, 24,  10 )

But I don't seem to be getting anywhere.

Any tips or pointers to push me in the right direction is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I have been using a border-fading script to give the impression of onmouseover fading underline, and I wish to tweak it a bit to give a slightly different effect

I have two scripts that do virtually the same thing, although the second has a display bug in FF both have their advantages and I don't have my heart set on using either one, although Vic's scripts are being used all over the page i'm creating so his has first dibs

here they are, and I will describe what I need to do below:
first script:
Code:

startColor = "FFFFFF"; // MouseOut link color 
endColor = "000000"; // MouseOver link color 

stepIn = 20; // delay when fading in 
stepOut = 30; // delay when fading out 

var fading=new Array();
fading['now']=startColor;

function initLinkFade() {
  var links = document.getElementById('pageHolder').getElementsByTagName('A');
  for(var i=0;i<links.length;i++){
    links[i].onmouseover = domouseover;
    links[i].onmouseout = domouseout;
    }
  }

if(document.getElementsByTagName){
  window.onload = initLinkFade;
  document.write("<style type='text/css'>#pageHolder a{text-decoration:none}</style>");
  }

function domouseover() { 
  var rel="nofollow" target=arguments[0]?arguments[0].target:event.srcElement;
  if(target.nodeName!='A')return;
  for(var i=0;i<fading.length;i++) 
    clearTimeout(fading[i]);
  if(fading['el']!=target && fading['el']){
    fading['el'].style.borderBottom = "1px solid #"+startColor;
    linkFade(startColor,endColor,target,stepIn);
    }
  else
    linkFade(fading['now'],endColor,target,stepIn);
  } 

function domouseout() { 
  var rel="nofollow" target=arguments[0]?arguments[0].target:event.srcElement;
  if(target.nodeName!='A')return;
  for(var i=0;i<fading.length;i++) 
    clearTimeout(fading[i]);
  if(fading['el']!=target && fading['el']){
    fading['el'].style.borderBottom = "1px solid #"+startColor;
    linkFade(endColor,startColor,target,stepOut);
    }
  else
    linkFade(fading['now'],startColor,target,stepOut);
  } 

function hex(i) { 
  var s=Math.floor(i).toString(16);
  return s.length==2?s:"0"+s;
  } 

function linkFade(s,e,element,step){
  fading['el']=element;
  var sr=parseInt(s.substr(0,2),16);
  var sg=parseInt(s.substr(2,2),16);
  var sb=parseInt(s.substr(4,2),16);
  var er=parseInt(e.substr(0,2),16);
  var eg=parseInt(e.substr(2,2),16);
  var eb=parseInt(e.substr(4,2),16);
  for(var i = 0; i <= step; i++) {
    var r=hex((sr*(step-i)+er*i)/step);
    var g=hex((sg*(step-i)+eg*i)/step);
    var b=hex((sb*(step-i)+eb*i)/step);
    fading[i]=setTimeout("fading['now']='"+r+g+b+"';fading['el'].style.borderBottom = '1px solid #'+fading['now']",i*step); 
    } 
  }

What I like about this one is that you can specify both the fade in and fade out speeds, allowing you a bunch of flexibility in how it looks also, I like how it allows you to set it to 'apply to all links in a given div... however that can have certain downfalls you can seethis script in action he www.enviromark.ca/head/YPP.htm

I like this script because it allows you to set the fade on a per-link basis, not on a per-div basis... more control
alrighty, here are the minor modifications I am hoping to get help with The fade-out effects stop when a second link is onmouseover'd. I would like to be able to set both the fade-in and fade-out delays (like in the first script), but have the fade-out continue for "Link A" even if "Link B" is onmouse'd over. Basically getting the smooth-fade effect seen he www.enviromark.ca/head/ --> the gray icons. When a link is clicked, I would like the top border of the link to fade in and stay solid until another link is clicked. When another link is clicked, I would like it's top border to fade in (like the first link) a have the first link's top border fade out. Again you can see the effect I'm going for at the link above by clicking on a few of the vertical links and seeing it's effect on the horizontal images
I know this might be a lot to ask, so I suppose I could live with the script I have... but I figured there was no harm in asking

If this is in the wrong forum please move it. I'm new to Javascript so I'm not so much aware of the types as of yet.

I'm using Javascript for the first time, and I've used it on my blog to create a blog archive. However, I want it to be set out like this:
Menu Item 1 [Click to expand]
-Sub Item 1.1 [Click to expand]
-Sub Item 2.1 [Click to get to page]

Menu Item 1 is expanding fine, and I know how to get Sub Item 2.1 to link to the page, however I can't seem to link Sub Item 1.1 to expand. Can someone help please?

Code:

function initMenu(){

  menus = getChildrenByElement(document.getElementById("menu"));
  CurrentID = document.getElementById("auto");
  for(i = 0; i < menus.length; i++){
    menu = menus[i];

  //CurrentID.showMenu; thought this would work but it doesn.t
}

I am modifying a website for a company I am interning at. I have no javascript experience and was just thrown in. I need the menu to open when page is clicked so that it looks like the menu stayed open when you made a selection and the new page loads. I have a id in the html of the pages called "auto" to designate the menu item in the page to be opened. If anyone could help I would be very grateful. I will be keeping a lookout for posts

Hi.

I am trying to learn how to make a Javascript menu for my webpage.

I have made the menu and it works. I can collapse a submenu when I click on the menu header. I wan't it to start collapsed and then open a menu item when you click on it.

I have figured out that it have something to do with the function Closeall(). But can't figure out what.

Perhaps someone in here can help me or perhaps help me make a better menu.

Hi All,

My apologies if this is answered in a previous post but my searches didn't turn up a solution.

I need an expanding, vertical menu, virtually identical to:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...enu-glossy.htm

but with one change.

The menu subheaders, ie, "CSS Examples, CSS Drives" are currently just text and their background is defined in the CSS. I need to make these menu subheaders rollover graphics instead of text.

It is easy to replace the submenu items themselves with rollover graphics instead of text, but the menu subheaders have defeated me.

Is there a cunning solution to this?

Regards

Gary

Hey,

I'm having trouble with this site http://bit.ly/hL0u0w...

If you go to the services section you will see a sub navigation on the left of the box. The idea of this is to have sub sections within the main headings that expand/collapse when selected. Insted when any one link is clicked the whole menu expands and not just the related sub sections.

This is the javascript

Quote:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready (function() {
$('#link1').click(function() {
$('.slide').slideToggle('fast'); });
$('.close').click(function() {
$('.slide').slideUp('fast'); });

$(document).ready (function() {
$('#link2').click(function() {
$('.slide').slideToggle('fast'); });
$('.close').click(function() {
$('.slide').slideUp('fast'); });
});
$(document).ready (function() {
$('#link3').click(function() {
$('.slide').slideToggle('fast'); });
$('.close').click(function() {
$('.slide').slideUp('fast'); });
});
});
</script>

and here is the html

Quote:
<div id="subnav4">
<ul class="navigation4 pagination">

<li class="tab4"><a rel="1" id="link1" href="#">heading 1</a></li>
<li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">corporate id</a></li>
<li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">branding</a></li>
<li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">brochures</a></li>
<li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">direct mail</a></li>

<li class="tab4"><a id="link2" href="#">heading 2</a></li>
<li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">email marketing</a></li>
<li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">websites</a></li>


<li class="tab4"><a id="link3" href="#">heading 3</a></li>
<li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">advertising</a></li>
<li style="display: none;" class="dome slide"><a href="#">audiovisual</a></li>

<li class="tab4"><a id="heading 3" href="#">exhibitions</a></li>

</ul>
</div>
Hope someone can help with this!

Many thanks!

I know how to edit the CSS, and minute parts of the JavaScript code (for example; speed of the drop). The problem is, I had a massive amount of help making the Javascript side of the menu, and do not know how to edit it...

I want the rules to still apply, where only one can be expanded at a time (one of the first drops, and then only one of the sub-drops). I noticed in the code, I can edit it so there can be more than one drop, but that would mean, the whole menu could be expanded

Also, I want my sub-drops. to have different span colour than the main drop. but trhe links and such, (everything else about it) can be the same....

My live demo is here!


Thank you for any help and/or advice in advance,
Best Regards,
Tim

Help,

I have a navigation menu that has a flyin effect for each item using Javascript. Right now, The Javascript flys in a picture (in the same location) no matter what item you hover over. How can I get it to fly into a different position for each item.

Here is my code:

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if jQuery or mootools has a set of scripts that creates a page slide effect with a stationary menu? What I mean is instead of loading a page when you click a link, all pages of the website are loaded at first, and then when a link is clicked, the corresponding page slides onto the screen. The navigation menu remains unchanged (except for dropdown menus) throughout everything.
This is a perfect example of what I'm looking for:
www.mimeartist.com
Can anyone point me to the right direction? I tried to search for this but didn't come up with too many great results, and I searched the jQuery documentation and wasn't able to find a slider feature.
Thanks.

Hello - I'm trying to add a fade effect between slideshow transitions. The script I'm building from is the Rich HTML Slideshow script which appears below.

The slides that rotate are wrapped in <div> tags with a class of "dyncontent" and I've managed to make the slideshow transition just fine, but not with any kind of fade effect. It just "snaps" from one slide to the next. Is this a fairly simple addition? Thanks!
<script type="text/javascript">

if (document.all || document.getElementById){ //if IE4 or NS6+
document.write('<style type="text/css">\n')
document.write('.dyncontent{display: none; width: 250px; height: 60px;}\n')
document.write('</style>')
}

var curcontentindex=0
var messages=new Array()

function getElementByClass(classname){
var inc=0
var alltags=document.all? document.all : document.getElementsByTagName("*")
for (i=0; i<alltags.length; i++){
if (alltags[i].className==classname)
messages[inc++]=alltags[i]
}
}

function rotatecontent(){
//get current message index (to show it):
curcontentindex=(curcontentindex<messages.length-1)? curcontentindex+1 : 0
//get previous message index (to hide it):
prevcontentindex=(curcontentindex==0)? messages.length-1 : curcontentindex-1
messages[prevcontentindex].style.display="none" //hide previous message
messages[curcontentindex].style.display="block" //show current message
}


window.onload=function(){
if (document.all || document.getElementById){
getElementByClass("dyncontent")
setInterval("rotatecontent()", 2000)
}
}

</script>

Hi everyone,

Im new to the whole website thing as a whole but my mate got me onto joomla which has been great and iv got a site up im almost happy with and have learnt quite alot about coding etc.

My problem is:
Im utilising a vertical menu, just simple text as links, i want to add an effect on hover and clicking on that makes the text slide elegantly to the right about 16pixels.
I have another unpublished template that iv bought (that doesnt quite work at all, module position all messed up etc) but it does this hover effect perfectly on the menu.

So i have the .js file from that template and iv read some tutorials on how to add a js file to my template but its just not doing anything.

Is it a good idea to try to add this file from a different template to my template or is there a easier way to do this (what i think is a) simple effect.

Thanks.

ps i can post the js code if wanted

I want to insert this star trail effect script to page below but star trail doesn't appear on most areas and script corrupts several objects' position. How can I insert it successfully?
