Is there a way to scroll over aframe on mobile devices, I tried to disable the controls of the scene but still can't scroll, and it keeps interacting
Here's one approach - create an overlay element over the scene, which will prevent interaction and
hide the overlay when it's "double tapped"
show the overlay when anything outside the scene is clicked
So lets say somewhere within you scrollable content you have a HTML setup like this:
<div id="aframe-content">
<div id="aframe-overlay"></div>
<a-scene embedded>
<!-- cool stuff --->
</a-scene>
</div>
and the css set up so that the overlay works within a scrollable column:
#aframe-content {
position: relative;
}
#aframe-overlay {
z-index: 10000;
position: absolute;
}
a-scene, #aframe-overlay {
height: 300px;
width: 100%;
}
we only need to add the js responsible for hiding / showing the overlay:
const overlay = document.querySelector("#aframe-overlay");
const acanvas = document.querySelector("canvas.a-canvas")
// helper boolean, so that on each touch we don't need to compare HTML elements
var overlayHidden = false;
function setOverlay(enabled) {
overlayHidden = !enabled
overlay.style.display = overlayHidden ? "none" : "block";
}
function hideOverlay(evt) {
if (overlayHidden && evt.target !== acanvas) {
setOverlay(true)
}
}
var showOverlay = setOverlay.bind(this, false)
overlay.addEventListener("dblclick", showOverlay);
window.addEventListener("click", hideOverlay);
window.addEventListener("touchstart", hideOverlay);

For instance if I have a gallery of images that I can browse through, sometimes having multiple galleries open, I have to be careful in resizing one window because it will resize differently for another one of the same page.
The best example I can think of is when you open an image by itself in a new tab and it's auto resized proportionally in the middle of the page no matter big or small the window is. No scrolling required
If it helps here's an example of the code code where the image is shown
<div id="i3">
<a onclick="return load_image(2, 'f46ef2b433')" href="https://testsite.com/b/f46ef2b433/1341428-2">
<img id="img" src="http://testsite.com/fold01/5dde3b620790893d3ffab2da2437077dd41b31cf-230842-1280-1820-jpg/keystamp=1550591100-88d6d61f5f;fileindex=66272627;xres=2400/_000.jpg"
style="height: 1820px; width: 1280px; max-width: 1280px; max-height: 1820px;" onerror="this.onerror=null; nl('27617-430719')"></a></div>
the xpath is: //*[#id="img"]
I've seen plugins do this with videos but I'm looking to just do it with an image. Looking at other "similar" examples is confusing me more than helping at this point
(function() {
'use strict';
var x;
x = document.getElementById("img");
x.style.maxHeight = "100vh";
x.style.maxWidth = "100vw";
x.style.width = "";
x.style.height = "";
x.style.position = "fixed";
x.style.top = "0";
x.style.left = "15%";
})();
Here is my current updated script. i've been unable to change the max-height and max-with values but everything else has worked out for the most part. Without that, I'm not able to finish the task unless there's another method
x.setAttribute("style", "max-Height: 100vh");
this works but wiped away all of the other attributes...
both seem to work only in the console and not in the script as far as modifying the max height and max width values. there's no problem with changing other values
From what you described, you can use vh and vw units. Those units are relative to the size of the viewport.
Try the following exemple in a empty page. The display: body on the image avoid to have a vertical scrollbar
html,
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
img {
display: block;
max-height: 100vh;
max-width: 100vw;
}

I have an 'overview' html page with lots of product images - each image links to a page that may have 3 or 4 products, eg, src="gadgets-1.html"
On desktop, on the destination page the user can see most products or can easily scroll down if needed.
But on narrow screen where the css MQs convert all columns to 100% width, the last items are not necessarily in view and the user must intuit that it's necessary to swipe down the page, so I want the linking image to link directly to the relevant item on the destination page.
I've established anchor links which work well, eg, src="gadgets-1.html#red-thing" but I don't want the '#red-thing' to be active on wider screens.
To resume, I want the link to be gadgets-1.html on wider screen and
gadgets-1.html#red-thing on narrow screen.
I don't see how this can (or should) be done with css. Should js or php be used? If so, how?
There are a couple of solutions I can think off of the top of my head. I don't usually like using javascript to modify the DOM based on screenwidth but it is an acceptable solution if you are so inclined.
OR you can do something simple like this:
<div class="links">
<a class="mobileLink" href="gadgets-1.html#red-thing">gadgets-1</a>
<a class="desktopLink" href="gadgets-1.html">gadgets-1</a>
</div>
with some css to hide the right link based on screen width
.mobileLink{
display: none;
}
#media screen and (max-width: 992px) {
.mobileLink{
display: inline-block;
}
.desktopLink{
display: none;
}
}
A flexible solution would be to use Javascript with a specific data- attribute for storing the different anchor names.
HTML:
<a class="targetLink" href="/link1" data-anchor="anchor-name1">Target link</a>
<a class="targetLink" href="/link2" data-anchor="anchor-name2">Target link</a>
To execute the code cross-browser on DOM ready and window resize, jQuery would be useful.
Check CodePen here
$(document).ready(function() {
var $target = $(".targetLink");
var $window = $(window);
var breakpoint = 640;
var linkSmall = false;
function checkWidth() {
if ($window.width() <= breakpoint) {
// appends anchors to links
if(!linkSmall){
$target.each(function(index) {
var href2 = $(this).attr("href") + "#" + $(this).attr("data-anchor");
$(this).attr("href", href2 );
});
linkSmall = true;
}
}else{
// removes anchors to links
if(linkSmall){
$target.each(function(index) {
var href1 = $(this).attr("href");
var a = href1.indexOf('#');
var href2 = href1.substring(0, a != -1 ? a : href1.length);
$(this).attr("href", href2 );
});
linkSmall = false;
}
}
}
checkWidth(); // on document ready
$(window).resize(checkWidth); // on window resize
});
As you don't want to repeat anchor elements(as per the other threads), you won't be able to do it with css so you'll have to use js.
if(window.innerwidth < 911){
document.getElementsByClassName("class")[0].setAttribute("href", "url_for_small_screen_devices);
}else{
document.getElementsByClassName("class")[0].setAttribute("href", "url_for_normal_desktop_and_bigger_devices");
}
you can use a loop to repeat the same process for all anchors with using proper selectors.
I am creating a chat using Ajax requests and I'm trying to get messages div to scroll to the bottom without much luck.
I am wrapping everything in this div:
#scroll {
height:400px;
overflow:scroll;
}
Is there a way to keep it scrolled to the bottom by default using JS?
Is there a way to keep it scrolled to the bottom after an ajax request?
Here's what I use on my site:
var objDiv = document.getElementById("your_div");
objDiv.scrollTop = objDiv.scrollHeight;
This is much easier if you're using jQuery scrollTop:
$("#mydiv").scrollTop($("#mydiv")[0].scrollHeight);
Try the code below:
const scrollToBottom = (id) => {
const element = document.getElementById(id);
element.scrollTop = element.scrollHeight;
}
You can also use Jquery to make the scroll smooth:
const scrollSmoothlyToBottom = (id) => {
const element = $(`#${id}`);
element.animate({
scrollTop: element.prop("scrollHeight")
}, 500);
}
Here is the demo
Here's how it works:
Ref: scrollTop, scrollHeight, clientHeight
using jQuery animate:
$('#DebugContainer').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $('#DebugContainer')[0].scrollHeight
}, 800);
Newer method that works on all current browsers:
this.scrollIntoView(false);
var mydiv = $("#scroll");
mydiv.scrollTop(mydiv.prop("scrollHeight"));
Works from jQuery 1.6
https://api.jquery.com/scrollTop/
http://api.jquery.com/prop/
alternative solution
function scrollToBottom(element) {
element.scroll({ top: element.scrollHeight, behavior: 'smooth' });
}
smooth scroll with Javascript:
document.getElementById('messages').scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth', block: 'end' });
If you don't want to rely on scrollHeight, the following code helps:
$('#scroll').scrollTop(1000000);
Java Script:
document.getElementById('messages').scrollIntoView(false);
Scrolls to the last line of the content present.
My Scenario: I had an list of string, in which I had to append a string given by a user and scroll to the end of the list automatically. I had fixed height of the display of the list, after which it should overflow.
I tried #Jeremy Ruten's answer, it worked, but it was scrolling to the (n-1)th element. If anybody is facing this type of issue, you can use setTimeOut() method workaround. You need to modify the code to below:
setTimeout(() => {
var objDiv = document.getElementById('div_id');
objDiv.scrollTop = objDiv.scrollHeight
}, 0)
Here is the StcakBlitz link I have created which shows the problem and its solution : https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ivy-x9esw8
If your project targets modern browsers, you can now use CSS Scroll Snap to control the scrolling behavior, such as keeping any dynamically generated element at the bottom.
.wrapper > div {
background-color: white;
border-radius: 5px;
padding: 5px 10px;
text-align: center;
font-family: system-ui, sans-serif;
}
.wrapper {
display: flex;
padding: 5px;
background-color: #ccc;
border-radius: 5px;
flex-direction: column;
gap: 5px;
margin: 10px;
max-height: 150px;
/* Control snap from here */
overflow-y: auto;
overscroll-behavior-y: contain;
scroll-snap-type: y mandatory;
}
.wrapper > div:last-child {
scroll-snap-align: start;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div>01</div>
<div>02</div>
<div>03</div>
<div>04</div>
<div>05</div>
<div>06</div>
<div>07</div>
<div>08</div>
<div>09</div>
<div>10</div>
</div>
You can use the HTML DOM scrollIntoView Method like this:
var element = document.getElementById("scroll");
element.scrollIntoView();
Javascript or jquery:
var scroll = document.getElementById('messages');
scroll.scrollTop = scroll.scrollHeight;
scroll.animate({scrollTop: scroll.scrollHeight});
Css:
.messages
{
height: 100%;
overflow: auto;
}
Using jQuery, scrollTop is used to set the vertical position of scollbar for any given element. there is also a nice jquery scrollTo plugin used to scroll with animation and different options (demos)
var myDiv = $("#div_id").get(0);
myDiv.scrollTop = myDiv.scrollHeight;
if you want to use jQuery's animate method to add animation while scrolling down, check the following snippet:
var myDiv = $("#div_id").get(0);
myDiv.animate({
scrollTop: myDiv.scrollHeight
}, 500);
I have encountered the same problem, but with an additional constraint: I had no control over the code that appended new elements to the scroll container. None of the examples I found here allowed me to do just that. Here is the solution I ended up with .
It uses Mutation Observers (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MutationObserver) which makes it usable only on modern browsers (though polyfills exist)
So basically the code does just that :
var scrollContainer = document.getElementById("myId");
// Define the Mutation Observer
var observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutations) {
// Compute sum of the heights of added Nodes
var newNodesHeight = mutations.reduce(function(sum, mutation) {
return sum + [].slice.call(mutation.addedNodes)
.map(function (node) { return node.scrollHeight || 0; })
.reduce(function(sum, height) {return sum + height});
}, 0);
// Scroll to bottom if it was already scrolled to bottom
if (scrollContainer.clientHeight + scrollContainer.scrollTop + newNodesHeight + 10 >= scrollContainer.scrollHeight) {
scrollContainer.scrollTop = scrollContainer.scrollHeight;
}
});
// Observe the DOM Element
observer.observe(scrollContainer, {childList: true});
I made a fiddle to demonstrate the concept :
https://jsfiddle.net/j17r4bnk/
Found this really helpful, thank you.
For the Angular 1.X folks out there:
angular.module('myApp').controller('myController', ['$scope', '$document',
function($scope, $document) {
var overflowScrollElement = $document[0].getElementById('your_overflow_scroll_div');
overflowScrollElement[0].scrollTop = overflowScrollElement[0].scrollHeight;
}
]);
Just because the wrapping in jQuery elements versus HTML DOM elements gets a little confusing with angular.
Also for a chat application, I found making this assignment after your chats were loaded to be useful, you also might need to slap on short timeout as well.
Like you, I'm building a chat app and want the most recent message to scroll into view. This ultimately worked well for me:
//get the div that contains all the messages
let div = document.getElementById('message-container');
//make the last element (a message) to scroll into view, smoothly!
div.lastElementChild.scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth' });
small addendum: scrolls only, if last line is already visible. if scrolled a tiny bit, leaves the content where it is (attention: not tested with different font sizes. this may need some adjustments inside ">= comparison"):
var objDiv = document.getElementById(id);
var doScroll=objDiv.scrollTop>=(objDiv.scrollHeight-objDiv.clientHeight);
// add new content to div
$('#' + id ).append("new line at end<br>"); // this is jquery!
// doScroll is true, if we the bottom line is already visible
if( doScroll) objDiv.scrollTop = objDiv.scrollHeight;
Just as a bonus snippet. I'm using angular and was trying to scroll a message thread to the bottom when a user selected different conversations with users. In order to make sure that the scroll works after the new data had been loaded into the div with the ng-repeat for messages, just wrap the scroll snippet in a timeout.
$timeout(function(){
var messageThread = document.getElementById('message-thread-div-id');
messageThread.scrollTop = messageThread.scrollHeight;
},0)
That will make sure that the scroll event is fired after the data has been inserted into the DOM.
This will let you scroll all the way down regards the document height
$('html, body').animate({scrollTop:$(document).height()}, 1000);
You can also, using jQuery, attach an animation to html,body of the document via:
$("html,body").animate({scrollTop:$("#div-id")[0].offsetTop}, 1000);
which will result in a smooth scroll to the top of the div with id "div-id".
Scroll to the last element inside the div:
myDiv.scrollTop = myDiv.lastChild.offsetTop
You can use the Element.scrollTo() method.
It can be animated using the built-in browser/OS animation, so it's super smooth.
function scrollToBottom() {
const scrollContainer = document.getElementById('container');
scrollContainer.scrollTo({
top: scrollContainer.scrollHeight,
left: 0,
behavior: 'smooth'
});
}
// initialize dummy content
const scrollContainer = document.getElementById('container');
const numCards = 100;
let contentInnerHtml = '';
for (let i=0; i<numCards; i++) {
contentInnerHtml += `<div class="card mb-2"><div class="card-body">Card ${i + 1}</div></div>`;
}
scrollContainer.innerHTML = contentInnerHtml;
.overflow-y-scroll {
overflow-y: scroll;
}
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap#4.5.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="d-flex flex-column vh-100">
<div id="container" class="overflow-y-scroll flex-grow-1"></div>
<div>
<button class="btn btn-primary" onclick="scrollToBottom()">Scroll to bottom</button>
</div>
</div>
Css only:
.scroll-container {
overflow-anchor: none;
}
Makes it so the scroll bar doesn't stay anchored to the top when a child element is added. For example, when new message is added at the bottom of chat, scroll chat to new message.
Why not use simple CSS to do this?
The trick is to use display: flex; and flex-direction: column-reverse;
Here is a working example. https://codepen.io/jimbol/pen/YVJzBg
A very simple method to this is to set the scroll to to the height of the div.
var myDiv = document.getElementById("myDiv");
window.scrollTo(0, myDiv.innerHeight);
On my Angular 6 application I just did this:
postMessage() {
// post functions here
let history = document.getElementById('history')
let interval
interval = setInterval(function() {
history.scrollTop = history.scrollHeight
clearInterval(interval)
}, 1)
}
The clearInterval(interval) function will stop the timer to allow manual scroll top / bottom.
I know this is an old question, but none of these solutions worked out for me. I ended up using offset().top to get the desired results. Here's what I used to gently scroll the screen down to the last message in my chat application:
$("#html, body").stop().animate({
scrollTop: $("#last-message").offset().top
}, 2000);
I hope this helps someone else.
I use the difference between the Y coordinate of the first item div and the Y coordinate of the selected item div. Here is the JavaScript/JQuery code and the html:
function scrollTo(event){
// In my proof of concept, I had a few <button>s with value
// attributes containing strings with id selector expressions
// like "#item1".
let selectItem = $($(event.target).attr('value'));
let selectedDivTop = selectItem.offset().top;
let scrollingDiv = selectItem.parent();
let firstItem = scrollingDiv.children('div').first();
let firstItemTop = firstItem.offset().top;
let newScrollValue = selectedDivTop - firstItemTop;
scrollingDiv.scrollTop(newScrollValue);
}
<div id="scrolling" style="height: 2rem; overflow-y: scroll">
<div id="item1">One</div>
<div id="item2">Two</div>
<div id="item3">Three</div>
<div id="item4">Four</div>
<div id="item5">Five</div>
</div>
I want to put the div behind the scrolling header like it is for the footer.
The footer is
#rt-footer-surround {
color: #686868;
background-color: #2E244E;
height: 40px;
width: 100%;
z-index: 900;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
padding: 10px;
position: fixed;
}
but I cannot replicate it for the header.
the site in question is here:
site with z-index issue
To use the z-index style, you must also use either position:fixed;, position:absolute;, ,or position:relative; on the same object you wish to style.
Then, you can simply use a div to represent your header, footer, and main content section as follows:
<div class="head"></div>
<div class="mainbody"></div>
<div class="foot"></div>
Or alternatively, you can use the <head>,<main> and <footer> tags instead of divs. As far as coding and visuals are concerned, there is no difference.
Also, you don't have to put a massive number on the z-index. As long as one element's z-index is greater than another one's, that element will always be layered above, whether it is 900 over 1, or 2 over 1.
Ok here is what I came up with to solve the problem. Jquery.
Essentially my question was asking for this in the first place.
If you have content in a div you can place a nav bar in that div as a position:relative i.e. relative to that div.
What you cannot do via css is have the content in that div scroll up and stay underneath the nav bar you created. Furthermore when the nav menu area scrolls beyond the top of the screen it will then disappear.
So the jquery code I used does two things. It allows you to take a nav menu bar i.e. width 600px / height 50px and place it in its relative position anywhere you like. Furthermore, when it reachs the top of a users screen it will stop/halt and allow that to be the menu that is visible while everything else scrolls underneath that menu area.
Now, I don't think this is anything really new from Jquery but what is ultra convenient is that you can define a menu nav bar in any div position you want. Have a regular menu at the top and another menu perhaps below a slider or some content further down the page.
I will share the code if that is ok with SO... I paid for it myself.
Oh and here are two websites I have employed it on.
