CSS translate animation resets to starting position - html

http://codepen.io/anon/pen/DCfEI
.card {
&:hover {
.card_content_icon {
#include translateX(50px);
}
}
.card_content {
position: relative;
text-align: center;
margin: 0 auto;
.card_content_icon {
position: relative;
#include transition(-webkit-transform .6s);
}
}
}
Upon hover I animate an element using a CSS Transition to translate the X position of the element. Unfortunately when the animation completes it immediately back to its starting position. How can I prevent this behavior and keep it positioned where the animation ends?
I noticed that if I give the item I'm animating position: absolute, the issue goes away. But I need relative positioning for my layout.

.card_content_icon {
display: inline-block;
}
An i element is inline by default.

Drop down menu hides behind content of page

I'm working on making a Squarespace page with custom CSS to be mobile responsive. In a mobile screen, my page has a drop down menu with the different links for the page. My problem is that in certain pages (such as Music or Watch) when you click on the menu button, the drop down menu hides behind the content of the page. I know this has to do with using position: absolute, but i have not found a way to have the placement of the menu button and drop down list as I want it by using position: relative. This is my CSS for the menu:
#mobileNav {
background: none;
position: absolute;
top: 20%;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
#mobileNav .wrapper {
border-bottom-style: none;
border-bottom-color: none;
}
You can view the page at richiequake.com using the password Help123. Is there another way I can have the placement of the menu button and the drop down list and have the list "push" the content of the page down so the link list is visible?
Basically, are you are missing is the z-index property. Which will place the container #mobileNav in a higher layer.
By making this change (adding z-index property to your CSS selector):
#mobileNav {
background: none;
position: absolute;
top: 20%;
left: 0;
right: 0;
z-index: 1;
}
I can now see the menu links in all pages. You can read more about the z-index spec here.
UPDATE - To also push the content down while using absolute positioning:
As you are already using a custom class to toggle the menu links, you can use that to also toggle the content section.
Add a selector rule as following to your stylesheet:
.menu-open~section#page {
transform: translateY(355px);
}
What this will do is, when the menu-open class is in the document, the sibling section with id of page, will be pushed down 355px.
You can also add a some kind of animation if you want a smoother effect on pushing the content down, like so:
#page {
margin-top: 100px;
margin-bottom: 100px;
opacity: 1;
position: relative;
transition: transform .3s linear;
}
I just added the transition, where the .3s is the time that the transition will take.
One problem with using absolute positioning, even if you use transforms to compensate for it, is that on some devices and browser widths, the logo will overlap the navigation. Observe what the current solution renders:
Another problem is the delay between when the navigation collapses and when the text is no longer visible:
Because this is Squarespace and you don't have access to edit the underlying DOM, I would use flexbox to solve this. To do that, first get rid of this:
#mobileNav {
background: none;
position: absolute;
top: 20%;
left: 0;
right: 0;
z-index: 1;
}
And add this:
#media only screen and (max-width: 640px) {
#canvas {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
#mobileMenuLink {
order: 1;
}
#mobileNav {
order: 2;
}
#header {
order: 3;
}
#header ~ * {
order: 4;
}
}
Note that the above is not vendor-prefixed, so if you want to support older browsers, you'd correspondingly want to add vendor prefixing.

How to delay the hover? [duplicate]

I'm trying to set a transition-delay to the overflow property of body when a div is clicked by adding a class to the body as follows:
$("div").click(function(){
$("body").addClass("no_overflow");
});
div{
background:lime;
height:2000px;
}
.no_overflow{
overflow:hidden;
}
body{
overflow:auto;
transition: overflow 0 2s;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div>I'm div</div>
However, this doesn't seem to work (there's no delay). Am I doing anything wrong here?
I know this can be achieved by using setTimeout function, but was wondering why can't this be achieved using css transitions? Are there any specific style properties to which css transitions can be applied?
There are many properties that can't be transitioned. overflow is among them; the render engine has no idea how to transition between "hidden" and "shown", because those are binary options, not intervals. This is the same reason why you can't transition between display: none; and display: block; (for example): there are no in-between phases to use as transitions.
You can see a list of properties you can animate here on Mozilla Developer Network.
You can simulate a delay with animation:
$("div").click(function() {
$("body").addClass("no_overflow");
});
div {
background: lime;
height: 2000px;
}
.no_overflow {
overflow: hidden;
/* persist overflow value from animation */
animation: 7s delay-overflow;
}
body {
overflow: auto;
}
#keyframes delay-overflow {
from { overflow: auto; }
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div>I'm div</div>
You'll have to apply a separate animation to .body if you want a delay on removeClass, and also to take care that the two animations don't overlap or they'll cancel each other out.
overflow isn't CSS animatable property. You can see full list of animatable CSS properties there.
In case someone is looking at the answer, like I was, for a way to animate the cropping of an element which requires overflowing - here is the solution that worked for me: the clip-path css property which is animatable and very versatile.
Here is a cool tool to play around with, in order to get the proper start / end values for an animation: https://bennettfeely.com/clippy/.
Dmitry's answer should be the only accepted answer, as it is a pure CSS solution applying delay to "non-animatable" properties. However it's worth to mention, that the CSS rule applying animation should be "triggerable" each time when it is needed.
For instance, the following code does not work:
#keyframes show-overflow {
from { overflow: hidden; }
}
.hideable, .overlay {
font-size: 36px;
height: 50px;
}
.hideable {
transition: height 2s;
overflow: visible;
animation: show-overflow 2s; /* this line should be in separate "triggerable" CSS rule to work */
}
.hideable.hidden {
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
<button onclick="document.getElementById('hideable').classList.toggle('hidden')">
Clik HERE to hide/show the text below
</button>
<div id='hideable' class='hideable'>
This is the text to hide and show.
</div>
<div class='overlay'>
This is overlaying text
</div>
But after moving the marked property to a separate CSS rule, everything works as expected:
#keyframes show-overflow {
from { overflow: hidden; }
}
.hideable, .overlay {
font-size: 36px;
height: 50px;
}
.hideable {
transition: height 2s;
overflow: visible;
}
.hideable:not(.hidden) {
animation: show-overflow 2s; /* now this works! */
}
.hideable.hidden {
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
<button onclick="document.getElementById('hideable').classList.toggle('hidden')">
Clik HERE to hide/show the text below
</button>
<div id='hideable' class='hideable'>
This is the text to hide and show.
</div>
<div class='overlay'>
This is overlaying text
</div>
It makes sense that you can't transition between binary attributes for example overflow: hidden; and overflow: visible but it would have been really nice if instead of "transitioning" then it would be like (in js pseudo code:
setTimeout("applyOverflowVisible()", transitionTime);
But of course you can do this yourself in JavaScript but then you are splitting the code between places and it can make it difficult to understand by someone else. I guess using things like React helps but even there I would want to avoid mixing css into the js.

Slow ui response when showing lot of images at once

Let's say I have two sibling divs that shouldn't be showed at the same time. Inside both divs there are about 50 images.
Div 1 is showed by default with the class "active". But when the user clicks a certain button, it triggers an event that remove class "active" from Div 1 and append it to Div 2.
This toggle of divs works fine on a pc, but on some mobile devices, the response is TOO slow.
This is what I've tried so far:
First attempt:
div {
display: none;
&.active {
display: block;
}
img { display: block; /* always */ }
}
Second attempt:
div {
position: absolute;
left: 9999px; // in a viewport far far away
&.active {
position: relative;
left: 0;
}
img { display: block; /* always */ }
}
Regardless the device specifications, I'm sure there must be a way to get the better performance on ALL devices. Any ideas?
Thanks :)

How to rotate text and position it properly? (CSS, HTML)

I am trying to position a rotated headline next to some text. Statically it works very easy with absolute positioning (left picture). I have, however, difficulties when the page gets resized and the positioning fails (right picture).
Current CSS (can be changed):
.headline {
white-space: nowrap;
position: absolute;
top: 185px;
left: -20px;
transform: rotate(270deg);
}
Current HTML structure (can be changed):
<header>
<h1 class="headline">Über mich</h1>
</header>
<div class="text">
<p class="introduction">....</p>
</div>
How can I position the element so that I always stays 20px next to the paragraph?
Could someone link me to existing patterns how to solve this?
A solution with JS (and jQuery) would an option, I would, however, obviously prefer CSS.
Had the same issue. Managed to solve it like this in pure CSS :
.parent {
position: relative;
}
.child {
position: absolute;
transform: translateX(-100%) rotate(-90deg);
transform-origin: right;
left: 30px; /* change this value to match needs */
top: 30px; /* change this value to match needs */
}
The solution was a combination of Diego's answer and Smamatti's comment:
I had to use transform-origin:bottom and width:0. That was working rather quickly, the big problem I had was positioning the text independently to the length of the text. I've only managed to do this by using javascript.
.header
{
margin: 0;
width: 0;
white-space: nowrap;
position: absolute;
text-align: left;
transform-origin: bottom;
margin-top: 280px;
transform: rotate(270deg);
}
Javascript (to ensure compatibility to variables text length):
function adjustSideHeader() {
//check if the headline is visible
if($('h1.headline').length > 0)
{
var headline = $('h1.headline')[0];
var stringLength = headline.textContent.length;
//add style tag to support media queries
document.querySelector('style').textContent +=
"h1.headline { margin-top: " + (stringLength*23.5) + "px; -webkit-transition: margin-top 2s; transition: margin-top 2s;}"
}
}
// fire it when document is loaded
$(document).ready(setTimeout(adjustSideHeader, 300));
Result:
Have you tried moving
<h1 class="headline">Über mich</h1>
inside
<div class="text">?
and set
.text {
position: relative;
}
so that the position is relative to to "text" div. After that you might want to move the Über mich text to the left by reducing it's left value.
Have you tried use position:relative and the margin property?, I suppose it would be something like this:
.headline {
white-space: nowrap;
position: relative; //changed
margin-top: 185px; //changed
margin-left: -20px; //changed
transform: rotate(270deg);
}
*Note: I think you should move the headline inside the paragraph
I have an answer that may be late but worked wonderfully for me.
Normally your text will have a class or id and it will be position:absolute, and positioning values after it, like so:
.TextClass{
position:absolute;
top:50%;
left:55%;
transform:rotate(-90deg);
etc.
However, when you rotate, the positioning becomes relative (as mentioned above).
I found out that by simply putting the rotated text inside a parent div, you can position the (unrotated, position absolute) parent div as much as you want, and then rotate the text (which will be position:relative) inside the parent div, like so:
.divname{
position:absolute;
top:50vh;
left:50vw;
}
.TextClass{
position:relative;
transform:rotate(-90deg);
}

Is it possible to show a div on click using the :active selector in CSS?

I'm looking to show a div on click. The goal is to use pure CSS only, no jQuery.
Working FIDDLE Demo
Consider that you want something like this:
We write our markup as simple as possible. One element for container, one element for our link and one another element for popup:
<!-- [container] -->
<div class="link-with-popup">
<!-- link -->
<div class="link">CSS</div>
<!-- [popup] -->
<div class="popup">
<div class="box">CSS Description</div>
</div>
<!-- [/popup] -->
</div>
<!-- [/container] -->
Here is our layer structure in picture:
CONTAINER
Let's write CSS for our container.
.link-with-popup {
/* for visualizing */
background: yellow;
/* we need relative, because childs are absolute */
position: relative;
margin-bottom: 10px;
height: 30px;
width: 400px;
}
[!] Note that we make our container relative. Because the children will be in absolute mode.
LINK
We create our link as an absolute element from left, just as shown in the figure above.
.link {
background: blue;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 100px;
z-index: 10;
}
POPUP
The dimention of popup element is same as the container, so we set all top, left, right, bottom properties to 0.
.popup {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background: green;
z-index: 20;
}
[!] Note that z-index of popup element must be greater than link element.
.popup {
/* we won't show the popup yet */
display: none;
}
By now, we'll get this result (check it on jsFiddle):
Now we want the click for our link. This must be done with :active pseudo selector in CSS. But how we must show the poup? We have to get the next sibling element by the link. We use the + selector in CSS:
.link:active + .popup {
display: block;
}
See the result on jsFiddle. But the problem is that when user realize the mouse, the popup will disappear (as it display is set to none).
So we set the :hover rule for the popup and make it block.
.popup:hover {
display: block;
}
Check the jsFiddle demo. Now we get close enough. The only issue that the popup element, hide our link.
But it doesn't matter, because we won't set background for our popup (it will be transparent).
TEXT
For wanted text in popup element, we set this rules:
.popup .box {
position: absolute;
/* note that we make a gap from left to don't hide the link */
left: 130px;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background: #505050;
}
Check the jsFiddle demo. Now we have all things that we need.
Now it's time to make our popup element transparent (by setting the background as transparent or simply remove the background: green; rule):
.popup {
background: transparent;
}
And here is the final jsFiddle result. And if you add some extra CSS to it, it can be more stylish. Something like this that I've created.
Some important note to memorize:
In the final result, there is a gap between the link (blue one) and the popup (gray one). But the fact is that the gray element is not our popup. It's a child of popup and our popup is an 100% width and height element on the container.
Working FIDDLE Demo
Another way is to use the :target property (only works in moderns browsers).
Here's a qucik DEMO where I've hidden the div by applying opacity: 0; and the when you click the link the div changes to opacity: 1; The link and the div are matched using a hash in the url.
Here's the code from my example.
HTML
Click me
<br />
<div id="pop"></div>
CSS
#pop {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: #000;
opacity: 0;
}
#pop:target {
opacity: 1;
}
There are some side effects though. The browser will jump/scroll down (not sure if it's possible to prevent this?) to the matched div and since we are using a hash in the url it will effect the browser history and, as mentioned above, it only works in modern browsers.
