JavaScript - Jquery Slideout Panel On Hover

Hi all,
Just a quick question please, i'm a javascript & jquery newbie and need a little advice to what is probably an easy problem to fix.

I'm trying to get this jquery product rotator to work. It advances automatically every 5 seconds with the following code:
(there's 8 buttons below and above the main content window, clicking a button swaps the divs in the content window)


$(document).ready(function(){
$("#featured > ul").tabs({fx:{opacity: "toggle"}}).tabs ("rotate", 5000, true);
});

All i need it to do is to advance automatically as above but also advance the slider when a user hovers/mouse over a button, so the relevant content is displayed in the main window.

The code to the whole slider is below, minus the CSS.
A demo of the slider is he
http://demo.webdeveloperplus.com/fea...ontent-slider/

Many thanks.

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?

http://jsfiddle.net/bWRWt/

This is an example we can all work on, which is exactly my situation.

helo,
i just want to know how to add the same panel by clicking on a button right below the button..

Hello,

Thanks

Hello.
I've created this sliding panel where I click the Sidebar button and it slides out or in. But I would like to make it run more smoothly. I tried storing references to the elements within the MoveSidebar() as this.variables, so that they wouldn't be re-defined each time, but then FF spits out that 'this.sidebar.style' is undefined?!

How can I make it run more smoothly, or get FF to recognise 'this.sidebar.style' please (once I reinstate all the this.references)? Here's the whole page and the button is also attached for ease of testing. Andy.

So, i have this code which retrieves php files for me using jquery and id love to get it working with Jquery history plugin. I tried modifying the code i got from the ajax demo to work for me, but i just couldnt do it as i do not know any javascript really.. ( actually what i tried was simply to change "#ajax-links a" to "#menu li a" and .html to .php ..but nothing.. :rolleyes:


Id be very gratefull if someone would help me out with this one.

All related code can be found bellow (the ones that should be needed anyways):

This is the code that retrieves php files inside "#content" when item from "#menu li a" with the specified id is clicked
Code:

$(document).ready(function(){
	//References
	var change = $("#menu li a");
	var loading = $("#loading");
	var content = $("#content");
	
	//Manage click events
	change.click(function(){
		//show the loading bar
		showLoading();
		//load selected section
		if(this.id == "home")
		{
			change.load(this.className='current-page');
			content.slideUp();
			content.load("pages/index.php", hideLoading);
			content.slideDown();
		}
		else if(this.id == "secondpage")
		{
			change.load(this.className='current-page');
			content.slideUp();
			content.load("pages/secondpage.php", hideLoading);
			content.slideDown();
		}
		else
		{
			//hide loading bar if there is no selected section
			hideLoading();
		}
	});

	//show loading bar
	function showLoading(){
		loading
			.css({visibility:"visible"})
			.css({opacity:"1"})
			.css({display:"block"})
		;
	}

	//hide loading bar
	function hideLoading(){
		loading.fadeTo(1000, 0);
	};
});

Heres the structure of the menu/content
Code:

<ul id="menu">
<li><a id="home" class="normal" href="#Home"></a></li>
<li><a id="secondpage" class="normal"  href="#Secondpage"></a></li>		
</ul>

<div id="content">
<ul id="sec-menu">
<li><a id="link1" class="normal" href="#">Link1</a></li>
<li><a id="link2" class="normal"  href="#">Link2</a></li>		
</ul>
</div>

Heres the code that jquery history plugin uses in demo for ajax
Code:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
        function load(num) {
            $('#content').load(num +".html");
        }

        $.history.init(function(url) {
                load(url == "" ? "1" : url);
            });

        $('#ajax-links a').live('click', function(e) {
                var url = $(this).attr('href');
                url = url.replace(/^.*#/, '');
                $.history.load(url);
                return false;
            });
    });

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew how I can close an accordian panel by clicking on it. In more detail, when the user clicks the panel title, it opens it, i want it to close if they click the title again.

Im using Adobe's Spry framework.

Any help would be great.

Thank you.

First, here's the URL of the site I'm working on:

http://www.georgiadogs.com/fls/8800/meetcentral2010/

Each week, I'd like to be able to have that page load a different tab/panel onload according to who the opponent is that week. For example: this week I want the second tab, Alabama, to load first. I'm using one of the many iterations of the coda slider script (see coda-slider.js). However, I can't seem to get it to cooperate. I found a solution for a similar coda slider, but it won't match with the one I'm using (because the naming conventions for the "panels" are not the same I assume). Here's what that solution was:

Code:

$().ready(function() {
       $('#coda-slider-6').codaSlider({
           crossLinking: false,
           firstPanelToLoad: 3
       });
   });

Anyone got any ideas? It doesn't matter to me if the panel just loads from the get-go, or if it loads the first one and then automatically slides to the one I want. Thanks for the help!

I'm using a script for a drop down panel and it works fine, however I need to add a bit of a margin for the inner content but the script seems to be stripping it out in firefox, it works fine in ie and chrome. I've tried every trick in the book outside of editing the actual js file. I currently have a transparent image as a spacer at the top and it even ignores that. It seems that firefox just wont display anything above the first form field for some reason. Could someone take a look at this script quick and give me an idea on what to change to I can add like a 5px margin to the top of the content?
