I recently switched from Bootstrap to Foundation, just for the top-navigation bar. I'd like to set the menu items to always adjust accordingly and fill the bar at all times.
A bootstrap example is available here: http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/examples/justified-nav.html
In this example, no matter how many items exist in the menu, they always adjust their width accordingly so that the nav bar is always filled.
How do I achieve such thing in Foundation?
You can use jQuery to count the number of li and set the width of each li to the appropriate %.
So 8 list items each one would be 12.5%;
JQuery
(function( $ ){
$.fn.autowidth = function() {
return this.each(function() {
$('li', this).css({'width' : (100 / $('li', this).length) + '%'})
});
};
})( jQuery );
$(document).ready(function(){
$('nav > ul').autowidth();
});

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.
I am looking at websites for inspiration for my new start ups homepage. I saw https://www.pactcoffee.com/ and their home page features a full background image for the header and the nav bar is transparent then it becomes a solid color nav bar as you scroll down. I have only been able to set up the CSS for the site but I don't understand what to do to have the change in nav bar color.
You can do something like this...
http://jsfiddle.net/ojcqbLr2/
Check the Fiddle to see the rest of the code... like the CSS.
This JS will do this.
$(document).scroll(function () {
var y = $(this).scrollTop();
if (y > 100) {
$('.topMenu').fadeIn();
} else {
$('.topMenu').fadeOut();
} });
By the way, I found this info by search.
Show div on scrollDown after 800px
I just made edits to the code so it was at the top and not bottom.
Best of luck.
I have found that you can set two divs. One of which will be display set to none.
$(document).scroll(function () {
var headerHeight = $('header').height(),
s = $('.nav'),
y = $(this).scrollTop();
if (y > headerHeight) {
$('.navLong').fadeIn();
$('.nav').fadeOut();
} else {
$('.navLong').fadeOut();
$('.nav').fadeIn();
}});
This allows one div to disappear when one appears and vice versa. A working example is can be found in the DEMO
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.
I am using a standard css vertical navigation menu that uses ":hover" to show the sub menu. The menu is done using standard "ul" and "li" elements. The menu is on the left hand side of the page, and when you hover over a menu, it pops out the sub menu to the right of it.
My question is, the sub menu that pops out, is there a way to make it full screen height?
UPDATE
here is a very easy sample:
http://jsfiddle.net/NuAWQ/1/
All the surrounding html/css has been removed so that all you can see is the menu.
UPDATE
I have now managed to do this by using jQuery. The jQuery is:
$('ul > li > ul').css('height', $(window).height() + 'px');
http://jsfiddle.net/NuAWQ/2/
Just some extra information if anyone was curious.
In addition to the solution from above, that fixes the whole sizing issue using jQuery: $('ul > li > ul').css('height', $(window).height() + 'px'); (demo), it is possible to further align the child menu items with the hovered parent item by extending the jQuery code.
JSFiddle demo is here. The following jQuery code was added to the above that was already mentioned:
$('ul > li > ul > li:first-child').css('margin-top', function(index, value) {
var offset = $(this).parent().parent().offset();
if (offset != null && offset.top > 0) {
return offset.top + "px";
} else {
return 0 + "px";
}
});
Pretty much what this does is it takes every submenu and adds a margin-top to the first <li> that is the same as the vertical offset of the hovered parent menu item. In the above demo, this only works on the first submenu, but I'm pretty sure that it could be applied to all submenus with a tweak to the CSS selector or the offset-getting logic.
This gave the intended result.
$('ul > li > ul').css('height', $(window).height() + 'px');
However, also see Roddy's additional answer if you wish to align the child elements with the parent element.
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:
