Fixed Position in a certain area CSS - css

I'm working with a side navigation bar and I'd like it to be a fixed position on the screen, but I want it to stop being fixed after you scroll so far down. Is there any way to go about this?

Use this function. On scroll this function will trigger. Write the if condition inside function to remove fixed
$( "#target" ).scroll(function() {
if($(element).height() === "500px") {
// remove scroll fixed
$(scroll).css("position","relative") //or use absolute also.
}
});

Assuming that it's already fixed, the only thing you have to do is the following:
if($(window).scrollTop() > 150){
$('#nav').css('position', 'relative');
}
And of course, change #nav to your own selector and 150 to the value you desire.

Sticky navigation element jumps during scroll

In Firefox especially, I've run into an issue I can't figure out how to fix.
On the following page, when scrolling down the page jumps several times - mainly on smaller screens where the page doesn't have its full size displayed. You can replicate this issue by making your browser smaller than the page so you have to scroll.
It's on this page: http://www.nucanoe.com/frontier-accessories/
If I disable the position:fixed on the navigation selector, it fixes the issue - but we need the navigation to be sticky. Is there a solution to fix this? I'm thinking we may need to use jQuery somehow.
Thanks in advance!
After seeing you asking for help on another answer, I will try and explain more clearly for you.
The Problem
Your problem is when you add position:fixed to the navigation bar, it removes it from its place and sticks it at the top of the page. This is why the rest of your content jumps up - because the navigation bar is not where it was anymore.
How To Fix
You can get around this by wrapping your navigation element in a new div - let's call it nav-wrapper - and set its height to the same as your navigation element. These are known as placeholder elements. This new wrapper and your original navigation bar must always be the same height for the 'jump' to disappear.
<div class="nav-wrapper" style="height:80px;"> <-- add this
<div class="your-original-nav" style="height:80px"></div>
</div> <!-- add this
Now, when you set the navigation bar to fixed and it disappears to the top, the new wrapper we created with the same height keeps the page's content the same. When the fixed class has been removed, it sits back in the wrapper again, without pushing the content down.
A Suggestion
From what I can see on your site, there will be a big gap where the navigation bar was until the new fixed navigation reaches that point and covers it. What you want, is a little jQuery to figure out where to make the navigation fixed and where to hide it. I'll explain:
// cache the element
var $navBar = $('.your-original-nav');
// find original navigation bar position
var navPos = $navBar.offset().top;
// on scroll
$(window).scroll(function() {
// get scroll position from top of the page
var scrollPos = $(this).scrollTop();
// check if scroll position is >= the nav position
if (scrollPos >= navPos) {
$navBar.addClass('fixed');
} else {
$navBar.removeClass('fixed');
}
});
You may want to add further functionality to this example, as it is very, very basic. You would probably want to recalculate the offsets on window resize as one addition.
A Demo
This is a little demo which might help you - I was bored and feeling helpful :)
Made it this way now: Added an element before the nav:
<div class="nav-placeholder"></div>
And the jquery:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).on("scroll",function(){
if($(document).scrollTop()>150){
$(".nav-placeholder").height($(".nav").outerHeight());
} else {
$(".nav-placeholder").height(0);
}
});
</script>
When I scroll down to 150 the placeholder gets the height of the nav, when i scroll up again I set it's height to 0.
Here is a fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/herrfischerhamburg/562wu62y/
You need to have a placeholder when your nav goes from relative to fixed.
Therefore you need to make a new div.
jQuery(".nav").wrap('<div class="nav-placeholder"></div>');
jQuery(".nav-placeholder").height(jQuery(".nav").outerHeight());
jQuery(".nav").wrapInner('<div class="nav-inner"></div>');
Remember to change ".nav", "nav-inner" and "nav-placeholder" to your desire.

I solved the problem differently so on firefox as you can see in logs it scroll up itself so to stop this scrolling I made simple statement
$(document).ready(function () {
var header = $('#left-menu');
var offset = header.offset().top;
var up = true;
$(window).scroll(function () {
var scroll = $(window).scrollTop();
console.log(scroll + ' ' + offset )
if (scroll >= offset) {
header.addClass('sidebar-sticky');
if (up){
$(window).scrollTop(offset);
up=false;
}
} else {
up=true;
header.removeClass('sidebar-sticky');
}
});
});
that solution work for me when I can't specify height of div's I use.

How to create vertical "pages" where each page is height of the viewport using Bootstrap and Angular?

I am using Angular 1.3 and Bootstrap 3.2. I want to create a single webpage that does exactly this: http://lewisking.net. i.e. I want to be able to have vertically stacked divs that are the height of the viewport. I'm thinking of making a directive that watches the browser height/width and updates the style accordingly.
Any other ideas? Any tips for implementing with a directive?
This is the perfect use case for vh and vw.
Simply set:
.wrapper {
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
}
And it will work out the box. If you have to support any old browsers you can easily do a quick JS fall back.
CSS will get you part of the way, but you will need JS to update your 100% height on resize
and scrollTop points etc. And you will also need a way to animate the scroll anyway. This isn't exactly what I would do but it explains the basic idea.
$($window).on('resize', function() {
$scope.winWidth = $(window).width();
$scope.winHeight = $(window).height();
});
...
$scope.getSectionStyle = function(){
return {width:$scope.winWidth, height:$scope.winHeight} ;
}
...
<section id="sectionId" ng-style="getSectionStyle()"
To animate the scroll I just use jQuery like. If you're a angular purist there is $achorScoll but it has no animating at this point so you need to do some extra factory or directive like https://github.com/durated/angular-scroll/
$rootScope.scrollTo = function(_to){
$("html, body").delay(300).animate({scrollTop:_to},{ easing: "easeOutExpo"}, 2000);
}
To get _to you just find the elements offset().top something like :
var offset = $('#sectionId').offset();
$rootScope.scrollTo(offset.top);

How to override position of primefaces OneMenu?

How to override primefaces OneMenu in order to see it over captcha, ie below? My selectOneMenu have no any changes.
My guess is that the menu panel doesn't have enough space to fit in the lower part, instead it's positioned above, as the aligning of the panel is being set by javascript (PrimeFaces.widget.SelectOneMenu.alignPanel), using the jQuery UI .position() method which allows you to position an element relative to the window, document, another element, or the cursor/mouse, without worrying about offset parents, and the default value for collision attribute is flip (In PrimeFaces 5 it's flipfit) resulting the positioned element overflows the window in some direction, or to move it to an alternative position.
In this case you could implement one of these three solutions:
extend the space on the lower part, maybe adding margin to the
captcha, in this way the panel would fit in bottom.
OR change the hight of the panel
<p:selectOneMenu height="100" >
Making it a bit shorter so it can fit.
OR you can override the PrimeFaces.widget.SelectOneMenu.alignPanel function
to set the collision attribute to none, in the position function:
PrimeFaces 5
PrimeFaces.widget.SelectOneMenu.prototype.alignPanel = function() {
if(this.panel.parent().is(this.jq)) {
this.panel.css({
left: 0,
top: this.jq.innerHeight()
});
}
else {
this.panel.css({left:'', top:''}).position({
my: 'left top'
,at: 'left bottom'
,of: this.jq
,collision: 'none' // changing from flipfit to none
});
}
}
PrimeFaces 4
PrimeFaces.widget.SelectOneMenu.prototype.alignPanel = function() {
var fixedPosition = this.panel.css('position') == 'fixed',
win = $(window),
positionOffset = fixedPosition ? '-' + win.scrollLeft() + ' -' + win.scrollTop() : null;
this.panel.css({left:'', top:''}).position({
my: 'left top'
,at: 'left bottom'
,of: this.jq
,offset : positionOffset
,collision: 'none' // changing from default flip to none
});
}
Of course you should call it in the document.ready, and when you update the component.
I don't recommend this approach too much, but sometimes it's the only solution.
Hope this helps.
For necessary SelectOneMenu add style top find an optimal value and apply it. For me it is:
#registrationForm\:facultyList_panel {
top: 413px !important;
}
UPDATE 09.07: It does not helps for another screen resolution. The question is still relevant.

Get div to adjust height with header content

I have a side bar that contains two divs. The first div may or may not have content, depending on what else is done on the page. The second div contains a long list of things and has a limited height, so scrolling is possible. I want to have the sidebar be as tall as the page, and I want the list container in the sidebar to be as tall as the sidebar minus the height of the header (which will change while using the page). I don't care about limiting the size of the header. The biggest is will get isn't anything significant.
Right now I'm just setting the height of the list container to be some number that is won't go over a maximized window height if the header div as as much content as it can, but this leaves an empty space at the bottom when the header is empty, and still doesn't work very well if the window is resized.
The layout is similar to this.
Is there a css solution to what I'm looking for, or will I have to use javascript and get window height/set div heights in pixels? I'm fine with either, it just seemed like there should be a CSS way to accomplish it.
If you're not opposed to using a little jQuery, here's a little code snippet that should help you equalize the height of the two divs, no matter which has more content. You can change it to your liking too.
var leftHeight = $(".left").height();
var rightHeight = $(".right").height();
var maxHeight = 0;
var div = "";
if (leftHeight >= rightHeight)
{
maxHeight = leftHeight;
div = ".right";
}
else
{
maxHeight = rightHeight;
div = ".left";
}
$(div).each(function(){
if ($(this).height() > maxHeight) { maxHeight = $(this).height(); }
});
$(div).height(maxHeight);
and credit where credit is due, this is an edit of a code snipped found at css-tricks.com
is this what you want?
http://jsfiddle.net/YWNyr/
CSS tips:
If you use 'absolute' positioning, width,height,left,top, etc... is relative to the first ancestor that has a "position" property other than "static", or the body if nothing is there.
for static menus, it is common to use 'position:fixed' as it will simplify scrolling issues
When using jquery its easier(and faster) to toggle a class than to change the DOM since that requires redrawing of the elements by the browser
-edit: for refreshing the sidebar size some javascript is necessary:
$('#headerAdd , #headerRemove').click( function()
{$('#sideContainer').height($(window).height()-$("#header").height());
} );
Try setting the height of your list container to 100%, and your overflow to scroll:
#listContainer {
height: 100%;
overflow: scroll;
}
This will keep the list in a scrollpane that reaches to the bottom of the page, no matter how large the header grows or shrinks.

is it even possible to expand a (horizontal) list's background with ajax?

I've got a list with list-style-none which needs to be able to add new items to itself via Ajax and have the background expand appropriately when it does. Adding via Ajax is easy, but every solution I try for the background fails me. I don't know if it's even possible; is it? I'm using a grid like this one:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/#display-grid
Both WebKit and Firebug are showing me skinny, empty bars when I hover over the enclosing divs and/or the enclosing ul tag. It appears that the minute you set a list loose with list-style-none and float:wherever, you give up control over its background. But that can't be right.
This is something I've run into a number of times. The problem is that floated elements aren't part of the normal box model, so they don't cause their parent elements to expand unless their parent elements are also floated. So if possible, float the ul or containing div.
Edit:
See quirksmode for another css-only workaround.
Could you provide a sample of your code? Also, why does the list have display:none set?
For instance, should be as simple as this:
HTML:
<ul id="dest"></ul>
JS:
// Simplified example, most likely wrapped in $.ajax
// This is the AJAX response function
function(data, response) {
var items = json.parse(data);
$.each(items, function() {
// Assumes item has a name property
$('#dest').append($('<li>' + this.name + '</li>'));
});
}
Should be just that simple. You shouldn't need the hide the list initially, as you can simply append list items and have the display update appropriately.
Hope that helps.
You need to explicitly set the width and height for the area.
Check out this link for Horizontal Scrolling: http://valums.com/scroll-menu-jquery/
Here is the script:
$(function(){
//Get our elements for faster access and set overlay width
var div = $('div.sc_menu'),
ul = $('ul.sc_menu'),
// unordered list's left margin
ulPadding = 15;
//Get menu width
var divWidth = div.width();
//Remove scrollbars
div.css({overflow: 'hidden'});
//Find last image container
var lastLi = ul.find('li:last-child');
//When user move mouse over menu
div.mousemove(function(e){
//As images are loaded ul width increases,
//so we recalculate it each time
var ulWidth = lastLi[0].offsetLeft + lastLi.outerWidth() + ulPadding;
var left = (e.pageX - div.offset().left) * (ulWidth-divWidth) / divWidth;
div.scrollLeft(left);
});
});
Basically, you need to update the ulWidth and divWidth when you add the new item.
Then just set the background image to repeat horizontally and you should be set.
ul.sc_menu {background:transparent url(image.png) repeat scroll 0 0;height:100px}
Note: You will need to set the height; otherwise you will not see the background because the li are floated.
For dealing with the float element, maybe you should know it's characteristic, gotcha, and how to deal with it.
See the links below, it also have demo, so you can understand the concept:
