JavaScript - Sliding Menus Fix

Hi all,

I am new to this forum and still fairly new to website design and coding.

My girlfriend is a fashion designer and I said I would build her a website (one of those things I said whilst watching the football).

I am trying to find if a script exists to have an image slide-show which moves to the right when the cursor moves to the right and so on for the left. We have managed to find someone else who has done exactly what she wants but it's in flash and I have no experience at all in flash. So I was wondering if anyone knows of a script which does the exact same thing?

Below is the link to the site where they have managed to do what we are looking for in Flash:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers guys

So about a couple of weeks ago I decided to start learning the basics of web development and design through the w3schools website. I found no problems learning HTML/XHTML and CSS1/2/3. I decided the best way to learn these languages was to implement something from each language into a project (a website, which is currently stored locally on my laptop)

The project is a site dedicated to favourite images of my family. In it is a main image viewer, followed by a nav bar underneath displaying thumbnails of a few images. I implemented a small JS script so when I click a thumbnail, the corresponding image is displayed within the main image viewer.

I then moved onto jQuery in my development knowledge quest, and decided the next thing I wanted to do was add more images to the nav bar and be able to scroll (with two buttons) across the nav bar. This is where I've hit an end stop in being able to do this with no help.

So to begin with, this is my HTML for the thumbnail navbar:

Code:

<div class="scrollWrapper">
<div class="controlsPrev"></div>
<div class="controlsNext"></div>
		

<div class="scrollableArea">
		<p><input type="image" src="images/home/54.jpg" alt="Image" onclick="displayImage('images/home/54.jpg')" /></p>
		<p><input type="image" src="images/home/55.jpg" alt="Image" onclick="displayImage('images/home/55.jpg')" /></p>
		<p><input type="image" src="images/home/56.jpg" alt="Image" onclick="displayImage('images/home/56.jpg')" /></p>
		<p><input type="image" src="images/home/57.jpg" alt="Image" onclick="displayImage('images/home/57.jpg')" /></p>
		<p><input type="image" src="images/home/58.jpg" alt="Image" onclick="displayImage('images/home/58.jpg')" /></p>
		<p><input type="image" src="images/home/59.jpg" alt="Image" onclick="displayImage('images/home/59.jpg')" /></p>
		<p><input type="image" src="images/home/60.jpg" alt="Image" onclick="displayImage('images/home/60.jpg')" /></p>
		<p><input type="image" src="images/home/61.jpg" alt="Image" onclick="displayImage('images/home/61.jpg')" /></p>
		<p><input type="image" src="images/home/62.jpg" alt="Image" onclick="displayImage('images/home/62.jpg')" /></p>
		<p><input type="image" src="images/home/63.jpg" alt="Image" onclick="displayImage('images/home/63.jpg')" /></p>
		

</div>
</div>
</div>

CSS Styling (external sheet):

Code:

div.scrollWrapper
{
background-color:#252525;
width:960px;
height:115px;
display:block;
overflow:hidden;
}

div.scrollableArea
{
height:115px;
}

div.scrollableArea p
{
margin:0;
}
div.controlsPrev
{
height:115px;
width:65px;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
position:absolute;
}

div.controlsNext
{
height:115px;
width:65px;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
position:absolute;
right:195px;
}

My first problem is that now I have added further <p> elements to the navbar, they "wrap" to the next line, causing scrollableArea to be double the height.

The second problem is implementing some code to bring the navbar to life. Since it's jQuery (and I've linked the googleapis library in my html document) I thought the custom animation methods would be the best way to create this effect. Though I've thought of a few obstacles in my way, namely:

1. How to hide the right most or left most (depending on which control class eg. Prev or Next) <p> element and show the opposite <p> element at the same time, and also shift or slide all other <p> elements in view across (again depending on which control class or direction control I have clicked).

2. I want flexible code, that allows for (in the future) more <p> elements. All my code has been based around flexibility and the fact that it will be constantly changing at a fast rate. Therefore I think a function within my script to count the number of <p> elements within the scrollableArea would resolve this issue somewhat.

Any help or advice given on the subject would be greatly appreciated, if there would be another method to get the desired effect then please share. I've stayed away from plug-ins apart from the generic jQuery library provided by google, I want to be able to say I have created everything by myself and not "cheated" if you will. It doesn't take a genius to implement plug-ins into code, I see it on various websites and have seen developers use them before and claim them as their own.

I took a look at a few tutorials on the subject, but I haven't found anything specific to my cause.

Cheers dudes,

Johnny.

I'm trying to make this menu go up and down when the arrows are clicked. Right now, it shows all of them and I can't figure out how to make it so that it only shows the first 9 and will show the rest in the menu when it's clicked.

I really don't know where to start. I found some scripts but they turned out really funky. Even if it's something super simple is cool, just where to begin??

Here is the menu: Code:

<div class="arrow_holder"><span onclick="document.getElementById('down').display = 'none'; document.getElementById('up').display = 'block';" ><img src="images/arrow-up.png" alt="" border="0" /></span></div>

hello I am novice when it comes to writing code and as i'm writing some code for a sliding puzzle game, i have managed to display the images.

but now i need to write the functions to see if the image when clicked on is next to the blank one and then to move them if this is true.


<Html>
<Head>
<Title> Sliding Puzzle Game</Title>

<Script Language = "JavaScript">

var images = new Array();
//var initialise
var id = 0;
alert("starting");
window.onerror = handleError;

function handleError(strMessage, strURL, intLine)
//the above function catches any errors and display what and where.
{
document.write("<br/>The following Error occurred:");
document.write("<br/>Message: " + strMessage);
document.write("<br/>Code: " + strURL);
document.write("<br/>On line: " + intLine);
}



function Write2screen(){

var k=0;

for (i=0; i< 4; i++) {
for (j=0; j<4; j++) {

id++; //give picture unique id after each iteration

images[k] = "Images/" + k + ".jpg";
document.write(" <img src= '"+images[k]+"' id='"+id+"'/>");
k++;
}
document.write("<br/>");
}
}



function CanMoveTile() {
// checks to see whether the cell at postion cellNum
// is next to the black tile and returns true if and
// only if this is the case

}

function moveTile(id) {
// this function moves the tile that was clicked on (if the tile can actually be moved)

}


Write2screen();

</Script>
</Head>
<body onClick=moveTile(id)>

many thanks in advance

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.

This is a different issue to the scrollbar one I put in the xhtml section not long ago, I'm not spamming

Here's my website so far: http://designprohibited.com/dp3/

If you click the "view showreel" tab at the top a div will slide out and display a test video hosted at Vimeo.com.

If you do that in IE it slides out very smooth and nicely. If you do it in FireFox a white box where the video is loads instantly before the div slides out and it looks a bit crappy.

Any fixes?

Im looking for a script to show a sliding popup from bottom right to upward direction after the page is loaded with a close button to.

Hello I would like to combine the funcationality of 2 versions I have created of the same site. I really painted myself into a corner with the 1st version, so I created the 2nd, only to find myself in the OTHER CORNER!!!

The 1st is he

http://www.rosemarierhoweinteriors.com/city.html

Everything is functional EXCEPT the previous/next buttons. Because I had built it with sliding panels, I decided I would cut my losses and rebuild with another javascript which I found free on the internet.

The 2nd is he

http://www.annaleithauser.com/rosema...e/country.html

Everything is functional, but the client now would like the navigational arrows at the bottom to swap the thumbnails underneath (as on version 1), rather than slide them individually (as on version 2)...while KEEPING the previous/next as is. Does anyone know a way out of this pickle? I will be eternally grateful. Thank you!!!

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a thumbnail gallery where if the user moves the mouse over the thumbnail, a panel slides up covering half the thumbnail, showing you options for that particular thumbnail. The panel should slide back down (and disappear) when the mouse is moved off the thumbnail.

I have this working he http://disarmer.freeservers.com/test/slide4.html

The problem I'm having is that at the moment the Javascript references the sliding panel directly, using var slidingDiv = document.getElementById("theme_details");, but I need to reference the sliding DIV dynamically, i.e. as a function of the argument passed by the parent DIV (the thumbnail itself).

Here is the HTML and Javascript:

Code:

<html>
<head><title></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="slider4.css" />
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="fixOnMouseOut.js"> </script>

I've tried iterating through the parent DIV's children, finding the one child that has tag="DIV", and it just becomes extremely slow and unusable. I've also tried var slidingDiv = document.getElementById('theme_frame').lastChild; but that only works in IE and not in Firefox.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I had a plugin created and the Jquery is not working correctly. Can anyone help me sort this out? I have exhausted all other options. Thanks.

You can see this 'calendar' plugin here (near bottom of page): http://billboardfamily.com/blogs/

ISSUES:

1) The calendar sliding effect needs to be left/right as opposed to from the bottom.

2) 2 months should always be shown at all times

3) After you go through all months...it freezes completely

4) Is there anyone who can improve the navigation buttons? They are pretty weak at the moment.


Here is the code:

Code:

<?php 
add_action('widgets_init', 'pc_widgets_init');
define('PCAL_CAT', 6);

Hi guys... for my first project, me and my friend (who is a graphic artist) will make his portfolio site...

I'm planning a single page website, where on the center part there will be a 960 x 500 gallery. He already have 50+ drawings ready for his gallery, the concept in my mind is for him to categorize his drawings, then those categories will become some sort of tabs, then the whole galley will occupy the said dimension above. I'm planning to display maybe around 5 thumbnails per tab, I want to make it sort of like a slide show gallery, it will also have a previous and next button then upon clicking the thumbnail, a full version of that image will pop-up but not in a new window, it will be within that page and will have a close button to go back to the main page...

most portfolio sites I've seen were using this kind of preview in their gallery...

How can I do this things/effect, I've read somewhere that this can be done using AJAX...

Sorry if I'm not clear on what I've said as I'm still a newbie specially with this XML and AJAX thing... Thanks for having the time reading my post, looking forward for your help... ^_^

How do I store an object reference inside a variable when I want the object reference to to reference the first "ul" html element nested inside the current object (as referenced by this keyword)?

var slideList = ???

I am trying to create a sliding menu.

Hello,

I am trying to get this sliding panel to automatically be open when the page loads. Right now it is closed and I need to click it to open. I would like for it to be automatically opened when the page first loads and click to close it. Can anyone help me with the coding?

I have a script that will slide a div up from the bottom of the page. The toggle button for this div however is going to be right on top of the sliding div. But, when the button is pressed and the div starts to slide down, the script hides the button. Here's an example...

http://www.codekraken.com/dashpad/testing/test2.html

How can I get the toggle button to slide with it, but not disappear?
