JavaScript - How Can I Make Animated News Bar ?
Hello, i wanna make animated news bar like the one in the top of site alibaba.com, so how can i do that, anybody have any kind of tutorial for any thing like this please ?
thanks Similar TutorialsHi! I installed the Animated Information Bar found on http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/.../infobar.shtml Now there is a option to display the bar once per session but this isn't working... Code: infobar.setfrequency('session') //Uncomment this line to set information bar to only display once per browser session! Anyone has installed this bar and knows why this isn't working? I use IE8 greetings Jardin Holland Hello This is brilliant and good to work with, there is one issue i have if someone can help please. I have used example 4 bacuase it visually does exactly what i need, however there is one little problem i cant solve. I copied the div and now have 2 collapsible divs next to each other, which nearly do exactly what i need. I have lined up the 2 divs next to each other they both open, but the one on the left pushes the right one out to the right and i don't know how to do that. here is the code thanks the animatedcollapse.js is too long to put but can be found here http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...edcollapse.htm Code: <script type="text/javascript"> animatedcollapse.addDiv('jason', 'fade=1,height=80px') animatedcollapse.addDiv('kelly', 'fade=1,height=100px') animatedcollapse.addDiv('michael', 'fade=1,height=120px') animatedcollapse.addDiv('cat', 'fade=0,speed=400,group=pets') animatedcollapse.addDiv('dog', 'fade=0,speed=400,group=pets') animatedcollapse.addDiv('rabbit', 'fade=0,speed=400,group=pets,hide=1') animatedcollapse.ontoggle = function ($, divobj, state) { //fires each time a DIV is expanded/contracted //$: Access to jQuery //divobj: DOM reference to DIV being expanded/ collapsed.

(It's triggered only when the user clicks on a certain part of the door, hence the image map). This is the current code: <img src="img/door_admin_static.gif" width="229" height=401" alt="admindoor" usemap="#admin" name="animate"> <map name="admin"> <area shape ="rect" coords ="65,165,236,501" onClick="document.images.animate.src='img/door_admin.gif'; return true" href ="admin.html" rel="nofollow" target="_self" alt="admin" /> </map> What is supposed to happen is that after the user clicks, the animation of the door opening runs, and then the user is taken to the page linked to that door (in this case, admin.html). As it is now, the user is taken immediately to the admin.html page, so they never get to see the animation run. I need some kind of code that makes it so that the user is taken to the admin.html only after the animation is complete. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Hi there, I just recently took over a site that has some java code on it I'm unfamiliar with. If you go to smalltowngossipmusic.com, you'll see what this code does. Go to the pages "Sounds" or "Travel", and once your mouse leaves the main image at the top of the page, you should see those pages shrink. This is some code that was implemented on the site (which is wordpress) in the header.php template. Here is the code: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ var $ = jQuery.noConflict(); $(document).ready(function () { headerImage(); }); var speed = 500; var origMT = 0, origHeight = '120px'; function expandHeader(obj) { $('.headerImage').animate({height: '436px'},speed); $('.headerImage img').animate({'margin-top': '-2px'},speed); } function shrinkHeader(obj) { $('.headerImage').stop().animate({'height': origHeight},speed); $('.headerImage img').stop().animate({'margin-top': origMT},speed); } function headerImage() { origMT = $('.headerImage img').css('margin-top'); origHeight = $('.headerImage').css('height'); $('.headerImage img').css('margin-top','0'); $('.headerImage').css('height','436px'); setTimeout(shrinkHeader,speed*2); $('.headerImage').hover(expandHeader, shrinkHeader); } /* ]]> */ </script> If you look at the page source for each page, you'll see that there is nothing out of whack (at least, not that I can find). However, for some reason, this shrinking script only works on the two pages I mentioned - on every other page, it either doesn't work at all, or it only works about half-way. I have made sure the page.php and header.php templates both have accurate picture information in them, and can not find anything wrong anywhere. Is there any advice anyone here can give me on how to fix this? I've been doing html and css for awhile, but am relatively new to javascript and php, so am a bit out of my element on this. I'm willing to post any more code, snippets, whatever needed, just let me know what you need if you think you can help.

Hey guys, I'd like to think this is fairly simple but unfortunately my knowldege of jquery is limited to using prebuilt scripts and changing a few variables to get what i need. I created a drop down menu with a slide down/up animation for submenus, which worked out just as I wanted. I ran into troubles though when trying to add a nested menu to the drop down, but with a slide animation going from left to right. I'm sure my explanation isn't very clear, so please take a look http://www.palousehillscomputing.com...rop/index.html The nested submenu I am speaking of should only open when hovering occurs on the 'Item 01' link, but as you can see it also opens when hovering over the buyers link. Secondly, my attempt to slide from left to right on this ul is not working. It seems to be sliding down even though this was not defined in the code. I've tried playing around with it for a while now and can't seem to figure this out so I'd appreciate if someone pointed me in the right direction. Thanks Hi, I searched the web for a button that can be animated, as well as dynamic. but I couldn't find one, so I decided to try my hand at creating one. My method is similar to a post made by Bram2: http://codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=153326, however, I have found my code to be unreliable and it doesn't apply only to the area where the table is, instead of spreading across the screen. The reason for trying to create a button this way is because I'm lazy, I don't want to create a new button in a graphics editor, spending hours trying to make it uniform with the rest of the buttons on the page, every time I want a new button. Doing it this way will also enable to have buttons with mulitple lines of text. I am fairly new to javascript, so I am wondering if anyone can give me a hand making it more reliable or pointing me to a script that has already been created. I put the button Here instead of filling the post with code. Please look at it before telling me it can be done with the <button> tag, because I tried before posting here. thanks, grayatrox Edit:I have managed to get the code to do what I wanted it to do, and more efficently too. Old code is commented out in the orginal webpage. This is a working example on how to impliment the buttons. javascript: Code: /* Notes: - Each button MUST have a unique name. - You may need to create a secondary function that the button can activate like I did with the go(url) function below. - Email me (grayatrox) at 238atrox@gmail.com for bugs, or to suggest improvements. - Yes I know tables within tables is bad, if you read through my code carefully you will see where I am talking about. */ function loadButton() { //preload the buttons. image1 = new Image(); image1.src = "images/button_up_L.png"; //button up left image2 = new Image(); image2.src = "images/button_up_C.png"; //button up centre image3 = new Image(); image3.src = "images/button_up_R.png"; //button up right image4 = new Image(); image4.src = "images/button_down_L.png"; //button down left image5 = new Image(); image5.src = "images/button_down_C.png"; //button down centre image6 = new Image(); image6.src = "images/button_down_R.png"; //button down right } function createButton(buttonName, buttonText, buttonAction, id) { // create the code for a button output= "<table border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' id="+buttonName+">"; output=output+"<tr name="+buttonName+" onclick=\""+buttonAction+"\" onmouseover=\"changeButton('down', '"+buttonName+"')\" onmouseout=\"changeButton('up', '"+buttonName+"')\">"; output=output+"<td align='right'><img id='"+buttonName+"_leftImage' src='images/button_up_L.png'/></td>"; output=output+"<td id='"+buttonName+"_middleImage' align='middle' background='images/button_up_C.png'/>"+buttonText+"</td>"; output=output+"<td align='left'><img id='"+buttonName+"_rightImage' src='images/button_up_R.png'/></td>"; output=output+"</tr>"; output=output+"</table>"; return output; } function writeButton(buttonName, buttonText, buttonAction) { // write button immediatly below where function has been called document.write(createButton(buttonName, buttonText, buttonAction)); } function writeButtonInId(buttonName, buttonText, buttonAction, id) { // write the button in an id document.getElementById(id).innerHTML=createButton(buttonName, buttonText, buttonAction); } function changeButton(action, name) { // button animation if (action== "up") { document.getElementById(name+'_leftImage').src="images/button_up_L.png"; document.getElementById(name+'_middleImage').style.backgroundImage ="url(images/button_up_C.png)"; document.getElementById(name+'_rightImage').src="images/button_up_R.png"; } else if (action== "down") { document.getElementById(name+'_leftImage').src="images/button_down_L.png"; document.getElementById(name+'_middleImage').style.backgroundImage ="url(images/button_down_C.png)"; document.getElementById(name+'_rightImage').src="images/button_down_R.png"; } } function go(url) { // written becuase there were too many ' and ". You can do this for any javascript function (I hope) document.location=url; } Does anyone have an explanation for why animated .gifs might not animate in FF, Chrome, etc.? Only IE does it right for me. I suspect it might have something to do with tables squeezing the graphic (if the .gif is inside a table with a 100% width cell... but even giving the cell with the .gif a width doesn't seem to help.) Is it true? I realise tables are not best used for this purpose, but did this also happen in the good old tables days? I am trying to do what I thought was a very simple animated menu. I have a heading at the top of a website - which is just a png. I have a menu that is simply a div with a few options on it arranged horizontally. There's no submenus, it's just a very simple horizontal list. All I am trying to do is to hide the menu and then when you mouseover the heading, it will drop down. When you mouseout, it will move back up. It would be great if it faded in as it moved down too. Am sure it's probably very simple, but I've looked all over Google and I can't find a simple solution that doesn't do X, Y and Z that I don't want or need in this project. I just need a very simple script that I stand half a hope of understanding! The 2 sites below are animated scrolling pages which I know how to do, What I am looking for is how do they make the effect like the pages are sliding independent "like an overlaid effect" of each other If anyone can show me how they get that effect or if there are any demo or examples to help me figure it out http://www.sketchtravel.com/ http://www.foofighters.com/us/discography thanks for your help -rob Hi there. I'm relatively new to coding in javascript, so I'm hoping that some kind souls could help me out! I'm trying to make an animated image height changer (example: changing an image's height from 50px to 500px). I'm working on a new web site using HTML5 and want to add some Flash-like animation to my page using javascript and <canvas>. The animation would only need to "play" one time once the web page has loaded. No looping is required and no user interaction (ie mouseovers, etc) is needed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If anyone knows of similar examples online please send me a link. If you're interested in helping, please let me know if more information is needed. Thanks. I'm using some free javascript for my website and I'm trying to edit it slightly to behave the way I want on my site. Right now it works fine apart from one thing... It remembers the last active div that was open... then when you visit the site again or refresh the page... that div stays open and doesn't close when toggling the other animated divs like it is supposed to. How would I remove the last active div function or get it to close again when toggling other animated divs.. Thanks so much if you can help Here is the site: www.gjoob.terryarchonship.com here is where the last active div java is Code: showhide:function(divid, action){ var $divref=this.divholders[divid].$divref //reference collapsible DIV if (this.divholders[divid] && $divref.length==1){ //if DIV exists var targetgroup=this.divgroups[$divref.attr('groupname')] //find out which group DIV belongs to (if any) if ($divref.attr('groupname') && targetgroup.count>1 && (action=="show" || action=="toggle" && $divref.css('display')=='none')){ //If current DIV belongs to a group if (targetgroup.lastactivedivid && targetgroup.lastactivedivid!=divid) //if last active DIV is set this.slideengine(targetgroup.lastactivedivid, 'hide') //hide last active DIV within group first this.slideengine(divid, 'show') targetgroup.lastactivedivid=divid //remember last active DIV } else{ this.slideengine(divid, action) } } } here is the entire javascript: Code: var animatedcollapse={ divholders: {}, //structu {div.id, div.attrs, div.$divref, div.$togglerimage} divgroups: {}, //structu {groupname.count, groupname.lastactivedivid} lastactiveingroup: {}, //structu {lastactivediv.id} preloadimages: [], show:function(divids){ //public method if (typeof divids=="object"){ for (var i=0; i<divids.length; i++) this.showhide(divids[i], "show") } else this.showhide(divids, "show") }, hide:function(divids){ //public method if (typeof divids=="object"){ for (var i=0; i<divids.length; i++) this.showhide(divids[i], "hide") } else this.showhide(divids, "hide") }, toggle:function(divid){ //public method if (typeof divid=="object") divid=divid[0] this.showhide(divid, "toggle") }, addDiv:function(divid, attrstring){ //public function this.divholders[divid]=({id: divid, $divref: null, attrs: attrstring}) this.divholders[divid].getAttr=function(name){ //assign getAttr() function to each divholder object var attr=new RegExp(name+"=([^,]+)", "i") //get name/value config pair (ie: width=400px,) return (attr.test(this.attrs) && parseInt(RegExp.$1)!=0)?

I'm trying to make a news slider for a website in js. This is what I currently have: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var refresh = setInterval("refresh()", 5000); function refresh() { $('#top_news').load('top_ten.php').fadeIn("slow"); } </script> The id #top_news is an empty div, in which the news are shown, and the file top_ten.php gets top 10 news from the database, and outputs a random one. The script is working fine, but what I want is, for news to slide in and when a new article slides in, the old one slides out. It would be even better, if there is an excistant script, for news or divs (a small image and text). ALSO, when I refresh/load the site, it takes the time from setInterval, to load the news. Thanks Hello, I built a fairly simple page using mioplanet's javascript code for a news ticker. It works fairly well on Chrome, Firefox, Safari and IE7, but IE8 and IE9 can't display it properly. The website is here, and I ran it through w3c validator that pointed out multiple errors with divs nor properly closed (> missing), but on the code they're all there. I suspect the js is doing something funny, but I don't have enough knowledge to understand it. I'm posting the js code as customised by me: Code: TICKER1_CONTENT = document.getElementById("TICKER1").innerHTML; TICKER1_RIGHTTOLEFT = false; TICKER1_SPEED = 5; TICKER1_STYLE = "font-family:inconsolata,courier new, courier, monospace; font-size:24px; color:#ff00cc; letter-spacing:1px"; TICKER1_PAUSED = false; TICKER1_start(); function TICKER1_start() { var tickerSupported = false; TICKER1_WIDTH = document.getElementById("TICKER1").style.width; var img = "<img src=TICKER1_space.gif width="+TICKER1_WIDTH+" height=0>"; // Firefox if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox")!=-1 || navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Safari")!=-1) { document.getElementById("TICKER1").innerHTML = "<TABLE cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' width='100%'><TR><TD nowrap='nowrap'>"+img+"<SPAN style='"+TICKER1_STYLE+"' ID='TICKER1_BODY' width='100%'> </SPAN>"+img+"</TD></TR></TABLE>"; tickerSupported = true; } // IE if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1 && navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera")==-1) { document.getElementById("TICKER1").innerHTML = "<DIV nowrap='nowrap' style='width:100%;'>"+img+"<SPAN style='"+TICKER1_STYLE+"' ID='TICKER1_BODY' width='100%'></SPAN>"+img+"</DIV>"; tickerSupported = true; } if(!tickerSupported) document.getElementById("TICKER1").outerHTML = ""; else { document.getElementById("TICKER1").scrollLeft = TICKER1_RIGHTTOLEFT ? document.getElementById("TICKER1").scrollWidth - document.getElementById("TICKER1").offsetWidth : 0; document.getElementById("TICKER1_BODY").innerHTML = TICKER1_CONTENT; document.getElementById("TICKER1").style.display="block"; TICKER1_tick(); } } function TICKER1_tick() { if(!TICKER1_PAUSED) document.getElementById("TICKER1").scrollLeft += TICKER1_SPEED * (TICKER1_RIGHTTOLEFT ? -1 : 1); if(TICKER1_RIGHTTOLEFT && document.getElementById("TICKER1").scrollLeft <= 0) document.getElementById("TICKER1").scrollLeft = document.getElementById("TICKER1").scrollWidth - document.getElementById("TICKER1").offsetWidth; if(!TICKER1_RIGHTTOLEFT && document.getElementById("TICKER1").scrollLeft >= document.getElementById("TICKER1").scrollWidth - document.getElementById("TICKER1").offsetWidth) document.getElementById("TICKER1").scrollLeft = 0; window.setTimeout("TICKER1_tick()", 30); } and this is how it's referred on the html file: Code: <div id=tick1> <div id="TICKER1" STYLE="overflow:hidden; width:1600px"> text here </div> <script type="text/javascript" src="webticker_1.js" language="javascript"></script> any help much appreciated. Thanks, H I'm performing a little maintenance on my news scroller. You can see the scroller on http://www.hogwarts-rpg.net (it's on the right side). Here's the JavaScript: Code: var pos = 300; var scrollTimer; function scroll() { if (!document.getElementById) { return; } var obj = document.getElementById("newsText"); pos -= 1; if (pos < 0 - obj.offsetHeight) { pos = 300; } obj.style.top = pos + "px"; scrollTimer = window.setTimeout(scroll,60); var myNewsText = document.getElementById("newsText"); myNewsText.onmouseover = function(){window.clearTimeout(scrollTimer);} myNewsText.onmouseout = function(){scroll();} } window.onload = scroll; Here's the CSS: Code: /******* NEWS TICKER *******/ #newsBody { width: 200px; height: 300px; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; background-image: url(/images/misc/parchment-scroller-background2.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; } /******* LINK COLORS FOR THE TICKER *******/ #newsBody a:link, #newsBody a:visited, #newsBody a:active { text-decoration: underline; color: #000000; } #newsBody a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: #0000FF; } /******* WHERE THE ACTUAL TEXT APPEARS *******/ #newsWindow { width: 100px; height: 230px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: 200px; left: 50px; } #newsText { width: 100px; position: relative; top: 25px; font-size: x-small; } Basically, I'm trying to make it where it A) resets quicker when it's done with a full scroll-through, and B) where it doesn't scroll up past its containing div (newsWindow in this scenario). I'm sure I'm missing something so simple, but I've been working on it all night without much headway, and I'm exhausted, so there's my excuse. I know that having pos set to reset at 300 might cause a delay in the text showing itself again, but that's to give the effect that it goes "all the way around," if you know what I mean. Even with it not resetting so high, the function still takes longer to reset than I would like it to. Hi I'm really new to this and don't really know if I'm in the right place as for posting. I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to have like a news column on each html page that can be updated by making changes to one file. Kinda like a embedded window that gives a sample of some of the text on the highlights page and then has a click to read more. I was thinking a javascript app would be best but I new at this and don't really understand everything. If someone has an idea or can help it'd be appreciated
Hi ! I would like to have a box in which to loop several html files (every 5 seconds or more) .. or to change the file by pointing buttons at the bottom at the box ... (without making click, just mouseover) I don't know if this is only based on JavaScript .. I don't know if the terms (box .. loop .. html .. buttons) describe exactly what I want to have ... I Googled it for hours .. To be more specific, you could see the well known radio site http://www.wabcradio.com/ and on the left there is Today's Top Stories .. That's what I'm looking for ... I would like to find some site with demos and codes (if possible). Thanks ! PS. I hope I didn't some kind of publicity by putting that link (I'll wipe it out if it's the case .. I've read the rules, and I posted the link because it's not my site and that isn't in any case an advertisement. And I think it is the best way to show what I am asking ...

The page in question is at http://www.garethhardy.com/Shine/ Thanks in advance for any help guys. Dan Today, all major cell phone makers (exept apple) announced that they will support a common app standard based on html, css, and javascript. Article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100215...owapplications This means that we can use our web skills to make applications for mobile phones. Previously, we would have to invest learning time into a closed-path system like the iPhone's Objective-C, or a minor player's API like webOS. Called BONDI, it's basically a webpage with some extra generic DOM handles for using system features like fetching contact lists, GPS, sending SMSs, playing a sound, etc. While I am not blown away by the demo widgets linked below, i realize they are little more than "hello world", as much actually as figuratively. I expect support and development to entrench around this simple standard, so more and more hardware features will gradually start working on more and more devices. It's the same notion as the JS/HTML software i wrote years ago for firefox that now works in IE8... Check it out: http://bondi.omtp.org/usebondi/Lists...Y/Gallery.aspx I encourage all to participate in developing for open source platforms like BONDI. While there's more money right now in iPhone, the future belongs to us. Don't support proprietary techs! Besides, i cannot imagine that Apple/some fan boy will not eventually add BONDI support to iPhones; they already have a browser! |
