JavaScript - Jquery Fadein() Question

Greetings everyone; Jesse here. Long time reader, first time poster.

I have a personal website, currently in development, located at: http://www.jesselang.ca

If you click the right-facing arrows along the right side you'll open a side-bar column, clicking a left-facing arrow will then close the side-bar.

This functionality is "OK" at best.

What I would like to see is clicking the right-facing arrow causes the current sidebar to fade-in, and simultaneously have the arrow flip to a left-facing icon; the idea being to add a toggle function to the arrows.

The code I'm using at the moment is shown below, this string works for me because it only allows 1 sidebar container to be displayed at a time... which is ideal.
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
	lastone='empty'; 
	function showIt(lyr) 
	{if (lastone!='empty') lastone.style.display='none'; 
	lastone=document.getElementById(lyr); 
	lastone.style.display='block';}
</script>

The respective html looks something like this:
Code:

<a onclick="javascript:showIt('interestcontainer')" class="arrow"><span>show interests sidebar</span></a>

The coresponding html for the container to display looks like this. This code also shows the "hide container" button:
Code:

<div id="interestcontainer" style='display:none;'>
        <h4>interests<a onclick="interestcontainer.style.display='none';" class="back"><span>back</span></a></h4>

And the CSS looks like this:
Code:

a.arrow{
	display:block;
	float:right;
	background:url(../images/ico-arrow.gif) top no-repeat;
	text-decoration:none;
	overflow:hidden;
	width:13px; 
	height:11px;
	margin-left:3px;}

------------------

Would it be asking to much to have someone help me achieve the following functionality?
-load page with all side containers hidden
-display only 1 side container at a time
-fadein and fadeout effects
-same button displays and hides
-button swaps images for displat/hide commands

Again, my code can be seen at:
http://www.jesselang.ca

I'd very much appreciate the help.

Thank you in advance.

Im using the toggle script demonstrated he
http://www.sohtanaka.com/web-design/examples/toggle/

It works perfectly, but im wondering if it is possible to have a button to expand all and contract all.

Ive been reading through this page: http://api.jquery.com/toggle/

Im having a hard time understanding it, because this is one of the first things I have worked on with jquery. Can anyone help explain how I can do this?

I have a form validation with an AJAX username check and it works perfectly on FF, but doesn't work in IE 9. I am a complete newb when it comes to Jquery and Javascript, so any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Jquery:

Code:

	       $('#username').bind('blur',function() {	 
               
                var formData = $('#register').serialize();              
                $.post('username.php',formData,processData).error('ouch');
                function processData(data) {                     
                    
                    console.log(data);
                    
                    if (data=='pass') {
                        
                        if (! $('#fail').length) {
                        
                            $('#usernameavail').prepend('<p id=\"fail\">Username Is Available!</p>');
                            
                        } else {
                            
                            $('#usernameavail').html('<p id=\"fail\">Username Is Available!</p>');
                            
                        }
                        
                    } else {
                        
                        if (! $('#fail').length) {
                            
                            $('#usernameavail').prepend('<p id=\"fail\"><img src=\"http://images/error.png\"> Username Not Available</p>');
                            
                        } else {
                            
                            $('#usernameavail').html('<p id=\"fail\"><img src=\"http:///images/error.png\"> Username Not Available</p>');
                            
                        }
                    }
                } // end processData
                
            }); // end submit

Here is the username field I am validating against the database for a duplicate
username:

Code:

<input name='username' type='text' id='username' class='required' maxlength='20'>

Thanks in advance.

Hello, posted this on dynamicdrive.com with no response, so I am trying this forum.

I have been assigned to build a content locator.
We cannot use a database and all content needs to load from same page.

Based on my boss' design and client needs, this is what I came up with:
http://contentx.com/content_locator/

I am using a Dynamic Drive script to power the dropdown and content underneath the drop down,
http://contentx.com/content_locator/js/dd_cx_script.js

and using a JQuery script to change the content in the window to the right.
http://contentx.com/content_locator/...s_cx_script.js

My questions a
1) Is there a better method to do this? (stupid question I know... of course there is!!) I would like it to be as simple as possible, no animation needed.
Just need to have content from the DIV on the right side load content in the Main body div on the left (the box)

2)Is it possible to change the content on the right side when you select an option from the drop down? (say I select <option>Free Campaigns</option> I want the content to change on the right to match one of the free campagins)

3)Finally, my margins in IE 7 are all over the map, looks great in all other browsers, but in IE my TABS (colored green and blue) are about 10pixels up to high, and my belowcontent div on the left has a top margin of 12px below the dropdown...

Thanks for any help,
zack

Hi,

I am looking for a script which could do picture animation like in this page

But there is other problem: When you put your mouse on them, they appear colored. I need that this appearing action would take 5 seconds.

5 sek. to become colored, 5 sek. to become grey when you put away your mouse.

If you need more info, ask.. Thanks a lot.

Hi guys,

Im trying to get the hover to fade in the 'hover.png' image and to fade out when leaving the 'hovering' item.

The code I am using is the following

Code:

<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

function mainmenu(){
	$("#neon li.root").hover(function(){
			$(this).fadeOut('500');
			},function(){	
		$(this).fadeIn('500');
			});	
	}

$(document).ready(function () {		
mainmenu();		
});
</script>

<style type="text/css">


 /* remove the margin and bullets, set the padding and margin for this demo only*/
.neon {margin:50px auto 200px auto; padding:25px 0 100px 15px; list-style:none; background:#000; width:720px;}

 /* display the list items inline with a right margin to space the buttons. Use this to pre-load the hover image */
.neon li {display:inline; float:left; background:url(hover.png);}

/* style the links and place the background image to start from left edge */
.neon li a {display:block; height:32px; float:left; background:url(menu.png); text-decoration:none; font-size:10px; font-family:arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing:1px; line-height:36px;}

/* style the b element to posiition it to the right by 20 pixels and even out the text with 20 pixel right padding */
.neon li a b {margin:0 0 0 40px; display:inline; float:left; height:32px; background:url(menu.png) right top; padding:0 40px 0 0; color:#fff;}

/* style the link hover and the link hover b to replace the background image - border:0 needed for IE6 to work */
.neon li a:hover, .neon li a:hover b {border:0; background-image:url(hover.png); cursor:pointer; color:#000;}

.neon li a.current, .neon li a.current b, .neon li a.current:hover , .neon li a.current:hover b {background-image:url(hover.png); color:#000; cursor:default;}

</style>

  <ul id="neon" class="neon">
    <li class="root"><a href="#nogo"><b>MENU ITEM1</b></a></li>
    <li class="root"><a href="#nogo"><b>MENU ITEM2</b></a></li>
    <li class="root"><a href="#nogo"><b>MENU ITEM3</b></a></li>
    <li class="root"><a href="#nogo" class="current"><b>MENU ITEM4</b></a></li>
    <li class="root"><a href="#nogo"><b>MENU ITEM5</b></a></li>
  </ul>

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I am using fadein and out of jquery, but size of jquery file is high for me. so i should replace it

Not entirely lost in the dark with jquery here, ive done quite a bit with it. I was just wondering if anyone might have ideas to solve this particular problem i am having.

The code pretty much looks like this...

Code:

$('#created').hover(
function(){ 
	if(y == false)
	{
		$(this).css({'border' : '1px groove #dfdfdf'});
		$('div#csite').show('slide',{ direction: "down" },500);
		$('div#sa').hide('slide',{ direction: "up" },500);
	};
},
function()
{
	$(this).css({'border-style' : 'none'});
	$('div#csite').hide('slide',{ direction: "up" },500);
	$('div#sa').show('slide',{ direction: "down" },500);
});

//home hover
$('#home').hover(
function(){ 
	if(y == false)
	{
		$(this).css({'border' : '1px groove #dfdfdf'});
		$('div#psite').show('slide',{ direction: "down" },500);
		$('div#sa').hide('slide',{ direction: "up" },500);
	};
},
function()
{
	$(this).css({'border-style' : 'none'});
	$('div#psite').hide('slide',{ direction: "up" },500);
	$('div#sa').show('slide',{ direction: "down" },500);
});

The div sa is always present (its a sponsor logo)

when hovering over a #created link or #parent site link, a div csite or psite comes up, (image representing parent site, image representing creator site)

making them work is no problem however i was wondering if anyone had any ideas as how to change this so that when you are quickly moving from the created link to the parentsite the .hide and .show animation for #sa does not overlap, or does not fire
otherwise they get in the way of each other...

any help would be appreciated thanks in advance!

Hi, as the title states, I'm trying to learn some basic javascript, more particularly, jQuery.

I HATE having to "allow" active content to run on my IE browser. Is there a way to allow active content permanantly? Instead of having to click allow each time I refresh or reload my test pages?

Also, IE keeps freezing or crashing when I run pages with scripts on them. Is this just my browser? or something to do with the active content permissions?

Trying to google my questions, but no luck yet.

OK, new to the boards.

I prefer jQuery over flash and not sure how to tackle this, so please advise as best you can.

Trying to create a site that allows for images to go full browser and then have the ability to have the other images slide in based on a click.

I also want to float a menu that will allow it to pull in other media (video, that would slide in the same way).

The best example I can share is this: http://j.mp/5U79i1

What he is using is flash based (slideshowpro director and slideshow pro for flash).

Not interested in flash for this personal project.

Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

thanks in advance.

What would be the best way to get data for a mobile site. I've tried using Jquery $.ajax to bring in the data from a php file.

It seems to work however it takes some time to load without a way to really give a progress meter. I was wondering what the fastest way to do this would be. For instance it loads and loads then after a long while the alert(); pops up and the data loads into the page.

Ultimately i was thinking i could use the ajax request to read in the data from the mysql database server, then transfer it to localstorage, im using HTML5 primarily for the development also just for reference.

Somewhat new to mobile development i was just wondering if anyone had a starting point for me to look at and go from there.

Code:

$(document).ready(function($){
	var dataret = 0;
	
		$.ajax({
		  type: 'POST',
		  url: 'mobile.php',
		  beforeSend: function(){
		  	$('#status').show();
		  },
		  success: function(data){
		  //initialize localstorage here
		  	alert('success');
		  	
// if it takes as long as it does, a few minutes, at least show a loading bar...
		  	$('#progress').progressbar({
		  		
		  	});
		  
		  },
		  dataType: 'json'
		});
	
	});

Thanks in advance!

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;
            });
    });
