Make visible/unvisible div on click on other div - mootools

Can anybody help me, I need something like http://web-kreation.com/demos/login_form_mootools_1.2/, just mush simpler, when I click on one div ( login in this case) just to show other and if I click again to make unvisible. How to do that with Mootools if I have two divs ( div id=login and div id=vis_unvis) ?

Please refer to the following thread to learn more how toggle element’s visibility via the javascript:
Toggle Visibility - Show/Hide Anything

to replicate the effect in the example to it's most basic, look at this fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/dimitar/9Syj3/
(function() {
var loginOpen = false, loginForm = document.id("login").set("morph", {
link: "chain"
}).setOpacity(0);
document.id("toggler").addEvents({
click: function() {
loginForm.morph((loginOpen) ? {
marginTop: -90,
opacity: 0
} : {
marginTop: 0,
opacity: 1
});
loginOpen = !loginOpen;
this.set("text", loginOpen ? "Hide form" : "Show form");
}
});
})();
with html of:
<div id="login">
This be the login form
</div>
<div id="toggler">Show form</div>
and css of:
#login {
width: 300px;
background: #ccc;
height: 50px;
padding: 10px;
position: absolute;
margin-top: -90px;
margin-left: 300px;
z-index: 1000;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0px 3px 3px #000;
}
resources for mootools: Fx.Morph or the element prototype .morph() allows you to animate properties of an element, in this case modifying marginTop and opacity.
mootools also supports Fx.Slide, Fx.Reveal and more as part of the mootools-more official collection of plugins.
of course to hide/show, you could just toggleClass a css class which has display: none on the element or use .show() / .hide() or .fade("in") / .fade("out") to hide via opacity.
NO end to ways to handle this. Check Fx.Move too :)

How do you make a Div do the same thing as a a button?

I am trying to make a navigation bar for a project and I need a button to call the function for a dropdown menu. If I have a button, I can't format it the same as a div, and it stands out from the other options. Is there a way to make a div be a button? I have tried putting the onclick attribute on it, but then the drop-down menu doesn't appear in the same spot. Thanks in advance.
(I am very new to coding, so try to explain things in simple terms)
I decided to do a hover drop-down menu which makes things a lot easier, but thank you for your answers!
There are different ways to do this. One is to use jQuery (a Javascript extension), like Branden Keck showed it to you. Another way is to use only html and Javascript: There is a html attribute which creates an Javascript event:
<div id="myDiv" onclick="clickEvent()">Some text</div>
clickEvent has to have brackets in it because it's a Javascript Function. Your Javascript could look like something like this then:
function clickEvent() {
document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML = "Hello World";
}
Here a snippet for that:
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML = "Hello World without jQuery!";
}
$("#myDiv2").click(function() {
$("#myDiv2").html("Hello World with jQuery!");
});
$("#myDiv3").click(function() {
$("#hiddenDiv").slideToggle(750); // 750 is the sliding time in ms
});
#myDiv,
#myDiv2, #myDiv3, #hiddenDiv {
background: #0000ff;
color: #ffffff;
transition: 0.5s all;
-webkit-transition: 0.5 all;
font-family: "Arial";
width: auto;
height: auto;
font-size: 1.3em;
margin: 0.4em;
padding: 0.2em;
border-left: 1px groove #f0f0f0;
border-top: 1px groove #f0f0f0;
}
#myDiv:hover,
#myDiv2:hover, #myDiv3:hover {
background: #ffffff;
color: #000000;
padding: 0.22em;
box-shadow: 0.22em 0.22em 0.44em #000000;
}
#myDiv2, #myDiv3 {
background: #ff0000;
}
#hiddenDiv {
background: #00aa00;
display: none;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="myDiv" onclick="myFunction()">Click this div! Without jQuery</div>
<div id="myDiv2">Click this div! With jQuery</div>
<div id="myDiv3">Toggle hidden Text With jQuery<span style="font-size: 0.7em;font-family:Arial;font-style:italic;"> May lag because of snippet.</span></div>
<div id="hiddenDiv">You found me!</div>
You say you are very new to coding. Have you read about jquery at all? I would definitely suggest it. It is very possible to make things happen when a <div> tag is clicked with jquery functions. Here is an example:
$("#IdOfDivTag").click(function(){
alert("The paragraph was clicked.");
});
You will have to add an id or class attribute to the div tag you want an action to happen with (unless you want the same action for all <div>, in which case you can use "div" in the jquery statement).
To implement jquery you need at add a jquery library to your code... You can start here: http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_get_started.asp

CSS: Prevent parent element getting :active pseudoclass when child element is clicked

JSFiddle
When you click the button, you see that :active pseudoclass is triggered for the parent div. Is there a pure CSS (or some JS library) way of :active pseudoclass not toggling on button click?
I tried z-index, position: absolute & fixed and no success.
From the spec:
Selectors doesn't define if the parent of an element that is ‘:active’ or ‘:hover’ is also in that state.
That means it's implementation dependent. If an implementation chose to act this way (as current browsers obviously do), there's nothing in the standard that can change that.
With CSS4, you might be able to do:
.parent:active:not(:has(:active)) {
color: red;
}
but that is neither available nor finalized yet.
If you really want to solve this with CSS only:
If your button is active, add a :before-pseudo-element and with position: absolute; give the :before the same background as the parents.
button:active::before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background-color: #eee;
z-index: -1;
}
Now all that is needed is that the parent is :
position: relative;
z-index: 0;
Have a look: http://jsfiddle.net/s0at4w4b/4/
This does not solve the underlying issue, but is a solution for your current problem.
I don't think :has pseudo-class will ever be available in stylesheets. If browsers finally decide to implement it, it will probably be only for JS APIs like querySelector.
However, I have much more hopes for :focus-within, which seems much simpler to implement.
#parent:active:not(:focus-within) {
background-color: red;
}
Of course, it will only prevent :active from being applied to #parent when clicking a focusable element like a button. You can make other elements focusable by adding tabindex = "-1"
Sadly, :focus-within is not widely supported, but you can use a JS polyfill.
#parent {
border: 1px solid black;
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
}
#parent:active:not(.focus-within) {
background-color: red;
}
<script src="https://gist.githubusercontent.com/aFarkas/a7e0d85450f323d5e164/raw/"></script>
<div id="parent">
<button>Click me</button>
<p tabindex="-1">Or me</p>
</div>
Github does not allow hotlinking, so the snippet above might not work unless you copy the polyfill to your server and use it.
Perhaps the simplest way of achieving what you probably really want to do is to put not put the button inside the div you don't want activated.
Here, you have a container div, which contains a background div (the equivalent of the parent div in your original example). The background div has an active state separate from the button's.
.container {
position: relative;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
.background {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: #eee;
}
.background:active {
background-color: red;
}
button {
position: relative;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="background"></div>
<button>Click me!</button>
</div>
This may or may not work for you, but this is how I achieve it with pure CSS. The only caveat is the dependence of focus-within which isn't supported by IE or Edge.
.parent {
transition: background-color;
}
.parent:active:not(:focus-within) {
background-color: red;
transition-delay: 1ms; // Delay one cycle to allow child to focus
}
What's going on here is, the parent element will get the active state, as will the child that gets clicked. The only difference is that the focus will apply to the child element, but only on the next cycle. To circumvent any animations from while in this 2 step process, apply a 1ms delay. The next cycle, the element will be active, but the focus will be applied to the child. Thus, the parent will not apply the transition. I would imagine animation delay: 1ms would work the same way.
Another alternative is to give the item a tabindex=-1 attribute and use
.parent {
transition: background-color;
}
.parent:active:focus {
background-color: red;
}
The only issue with this is the fact it may change keyboard navigation behavior and relies on some HTML as well. If you do want keyboard navigation use tabindex=0 or any value besides -1. But there's no JS used.
There are some nice polyfills for focus-within that you can use for IE/Edge but that would go outside "CSS Only".
But, we can put both of them together to create this:
.parent {
transition: background-color;
}
.parent[tabindex]:active:focus {
background-color: red;
}
.parent:active:not(:focus):not(:focus-within) {
background-color: red;
transition-delay: 1ms;
}
This works on IE11, Edge, and Chrome.
http://jsfiddle.net/s0at4w4b/42/
here's a jquery solution instead of using the css pseudo class :active
$(document).ready(function() {
$('button').mousedown(function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
console.log('i got clicked');
});
$('div').mousedown(function(e){
$('div').css('background', 'red')
}).mouseup(function(e){
$('div').css('background', '#eee')
});
$(document).mouseup(function(e){
$('div').css('background', '#eee')
});
});
div {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background-color: #eee;
border: 1px solid black;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div>
<button>Qlick me</button>
</div>
As far as I know, the the active state will bubble up. So all parent nodes will have an active state.
Therefore, I don't now of a pure CSS solution. You can avoid a javascript solution (which I assume is what you're really after), by altering the markup so that the div that has an active state is no longer a parent of the button. You can make them siblings, for example.
The CSS part of that solution is then fixing the layout so it appears the same now that they are sibilings as what it did when they were parent>child.
Without seeing a fiddle of what you're working with, I can't offer you a more specific solution I'm afraid.
try this
html:
<div class="current" id="current">
<button id="btnclick" >Qlick me</button>
</div>
css script:
div {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background-color: #eee;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.current_active{
background-color: red;
}
jquery:
$("#btnclick").click(function(){
$("#current").toggleClass("current_active");
});
JSFiddle
ps: include the jquery library file
The :active pseudo-class applies while an element is being activated by the user. For example, between the times the user presses the mouse button and releases it. On systems with more than one mouse button, :active applies only to the primary or primary activation button (typically the "left" mouse button), and any aliases thereof.
There may be document language or implementation specific limits on which elements can become :active. For example, [HTML5] defines a list of activatable elements.
The parent of an element that matches :active also matches :active.
So there,s no way
Instead of div:active {...} you should code div:active:not(:hover) {...} and the background-color stays untouched.
(old snippet removed)
UPDATE
To keep the main div behaviour intact and a more generic approach I usually create several layers.
Check the snippet below, toggling to green is just to prove that it works while position and abolute are just quick and dirty for now:
#layer-data {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background-color: #eee;
border: 1px solid black;
}
#layer-data:active {
background-color: red
}
#layer-btns:active {
background-color: green
}
#layer-btns {
z-index: 1;
position: absolute;
top: 1px;
left: 1px;
background: transparent;
padding: 5px;
width: auto;
height: auto
}
#layer-data {
z-index: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
text-align: center;
line-height: 200px
}
<div id="layer-btns">
<button>Qlick me</button>
<br/>
<button>Qlick me too</button>
<br/>
<button>Qlick me three</button>
</div>
<div id="layer-data">
some data-layer
</div>
There doesn't seem to any CSS way to handle this case. (not sure about CSS4, the way Amit has suggested.) So here is JQuery way.
The idea is you handle mousedown and mouseup events at 3 levels:
the parent div
the button where you don't want the active state propagated to parent div (".btn1" in the example below)
any other children except the button in second condition. (".btn2" in the example below)
JS Fiddle
HTML:
<div>
<button class="btn1">Qlick me1</button>
<button class="btn2">Qlick me2</button>
</div>
JQuery:
$(function(){
$('div').each(function(e){
$(this).mousedown(function(e){
$(this).addClass("activeClass");
}).mouseup(function(e){
$(this).removeClass("activeClass");
});
});
$('div .btn1').each(function(e){
$(this).mousedown(function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
}).mouseup(function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
});
});
$('div :not(.btn1)').each(function(e){
$(this).mousedown(function(e){
$(this).parent().addClass("activeClass");
}).mouseup(function(e){
$(this).parent().removeClass("activeClass");
});
});
});
CSS:
div {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background-color: #eee;
border: 1px solid black;
}
.activeClass {
background-color: red;
}
CSS pseudo-elements are incredibly useful -- they allow us to create CSS triangles for tooltips and perform a number of other simple tasks while preventing the need for additional HTML elements. To this point, these pseudo-element CSS properties have been unreachable by JavaScript but now there's a method for getting them!

Absolute div overlay iframe borders?

I'm wondering if there is a way to have a div, absolutely positioned, hover over the border of the iframe that div is in. Can this be done?
My case:
I have an iframe with a list of files in it, on the right end of each file there is a button. I want to have a div-popup with some functions like a contextmenu. But because this button is at the edge of the iframe the absolutely positioned div is put behind/outside the iframe viewport. I want it to overlay in the rest of my document, outside the iframe.
​<iframe width="100" height="100">
div would be in here, say 300 x 100 px.
</iframe>
overlayed div should be visible here as well, basically the div should overlay the iframe.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Well, technically you can't do that. However, if you hijack the events in the iframe, you can recreate the context menu in the main window and use the relative position of the div within the iframe + the absolute position of the iframe itself.
So, to sum up, the context menu can be outside the iframe, and manipulated by the events from within the iframe.
Let me show you how it can be done. I don't have your code, so I'm just making a very crude proof of concept. :)
Example | Code
HTML
<iframe id='my_frame'></iframe>
<div id='copy_to_frame'>
<ul id='files_list'>
<li>data.dat</li>
<li>manual.html</li>
<li>readme.txt</li>
<li>model1.obj</li>
<li>human_model.obj</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class='context_menu'>
<ul>
<li>Delete</li><li>Open</li><li>Move</li><li>Copy</li>
</ul>
</div>
Javascript
//Declare the necessary variables, good practice
var frame = $("#my_frame"),
frame_contents = frame.contents(),
frame_body = frame_contents .find("body"),
copy_list = $("#copy_to_frame"),
context_menu = $(".context_menu");
var bInside = false;
//Fill the iframe with a list
frame_body.html(copy_list.html());
copy_list.hide();
paint();
//Attach event handler for context menu popup etc.
$("#files_list li", frame_body).click(function(e){
var $this = $(this);
var rel_x = $this.position().left + $this.outerWidth() + 5,
rel_y = $this.position().top + $this.outerHeight()/2 - context_menu.outerHeight()/2 - frame_body.scrollTop(),
abs_x = frame.offset().left,
abs_y = frame.offset().top;
e.stopPropagation();
context_menu.css({
top: rel_y + abs_y,
left: rel_x + abs_x
});
//Show the context menu in this window
context_menu.show();
paint($this);
});
//Hide when clicking outside the context menu
$(document).add(frame_body).click(function(){
if(!bInside){
context_menu.hide();
paint();
}
});
//Determine if mouse is inside context menu
context_menu.mouseenter(function(){
bInside = true;
}).mouseleave(function(){
bInside = false;
});
function paint(el){
$("#files_list li", frame_body).css({
"background-color": "white",
"border": "1px solid transparent"
});
if(el){
el.css({
"background-color": "#ddecfd",
"border": "1px solid #7da2ce"
});
}
}
CSS
#my_frame{
position: absolute;
border: 1px solid gray;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
top: 50%; left: 50%;
margin-top: -62.5px;
margin-left: -100px;
z-index: 1;
}
.context_menu{
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background-color: white;
z-index: 2;
}
.context_menu ul{
border: 1px solid black;
border-right: 0;
display: inline-block;
}
.context_menu li{
display: inline-block;
border-right: 1px solid black;
padding: 2px;
text-align: center;
margin: 0px;
cursor: default;
}
.context_menu li:hover{
background-color: lightgray;
}
This is a bit of a guess based on the minimal information that was provided, but...
You can manipulate the contents of an <iframe> from within the parent document using jQuery, like so:
$('#myFrame').contents().find('a').click(function() { /*...*/ });
This allows you to detect when the user has clicked inside the <iframe>. Then you can work out where to position your overlay <div>.
Your overlay <div> will need to have position: fixed set. You can use jQuery's .offset() method to get the coordinates of the <iframe> and the link that was clicked inside the <iframe>. You can use these two values to calculate where to position the overlay <div> in the parent document. For example, to position the overlay to the left of the <iframe> and on the same vertical level as the link that was clicked you can do this:
$('#overlayDiv')
.offset({
left: $('#myFrame').offset().left - $('#overlayDiv').width(),
top: $('#myFrame').offset().top + $(this).offset().top
})
See this fiddle for a basic example of how it could work: http://jsfiddle.net/Gxd3M/2/
(Note that this assumes that the contents of the parent document and the iframe both come from the same server, i.e. they have the same origin.)

How do you make a div "tabbable"?

I have buttons that are div elements and I want to make them so that it is possible for the user to press the tab key on their keyboard and move between them. I've tried wrapping their text in anchor tags but it doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone have a solution?
Add tabindex attributes to your div elements.
Example:
<div tabindex="1">First</div>
<div tabindex="2">Second</div>
Per steveax's comment, if you don't want the tab order to deviate from where the element is in the page, set the tabindex to 0:
<div tabindex="0">First</div>
<div tabindex="0">Second</div>
for those interested, in addition to the accepted answer, you can add the following jquery to make the div style change when you tab to it, and also handle Enter and Space to trigger a click (then your click handler will do the rest)
$(document).on('focus', '.button',function(){
$(this).css('border','1px dotted black')
});
$(document).on('keyup', '.button',function(e){
if(e.which==13 || e.which==32)
$(this).click()
});
I'm sure someone has made this into a jq plugin $().makeTabStop
Add the tabindex="0"attribute to each div you want tabbable. Then use CSS pseudo classes :hover and :focus, for example to signify to the app user that the div is in focus and clickable, for example. Use JavaScript to handle the click.
var doc = document;
var providers = doc.getElementsByClassName("provider");
for (var i = 0; i < providers.length; i++) {
providers[i].onclick = function() {
console.log(this.innerHTML);
};
}
.provider {
flex: 0 1 auto;
align-self: auto;
width: 256px;
height: 48px;
margin-top: 12px;
margin-right: 12px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 48px;
text-transform: uppercase;
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 10%;
background-color: gray;
}
.provider:hover{
cursor: pointer;
}
.provider:focus{
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 2px 8px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 2px 8px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
box-shadow: 0px 2px 8px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
}
<h4>Click in this area first then press tab</h4>
<div id="email" class="provider" tabindex="0">email</div>
<div id="facebook" class="provider" tabindex="0">facebook</div>
<div id="github" class="provider" tabindex="0">github</div>
<div id="google" class="provider" tabindex="0">google</div>
<div id="twitter" class="provider" tabindex="0">twitter</div>
Make elements tabbable and clickable with key press using jquery
Assumptions
All elements that are of a non-tabbable, non-clickable type and should be clickable have an onclick attribute (this could be changed to a class or other attribute)
All elements are of the same type; I will use divs.
You're using jquery
Sample html:
...
<div onclick="clicked(this)">Button 1</div>
<div onclick="clicked(this)">Button 2</div>
<div onclick="clicked(this)">Button 3</div>
...
Jquery code:
This is the code that will run when the page has loaded. It needs to run on your HTML page.
$(()=>{
// make divs with an onclick attribute tabbable/clickable
$('div[onclick]')
.attr('tabindex', '0') // Add tab indexes
.keypress((evt)=>{
var key = evt.key;
evt.preventDefault(); // Ensure all default keypress
// actions are not used
if (key === ' ' || key === 'Enter') { // Only send click events for Space
// or Enter keys
evt.currentTarget.click(); // Run the click event for element
}
});
});
You can find a working example here.
For anyone that shows up on this page for the opposite intention, as in to make a div tag NOT tabbable: https://github.com/WICG/inert is a good way.

HTML5 placeholder disappears on focus

Is there a freely available jQuery plugin that changes placeholder behavior to match HTML5 spec?
Before Focus
On Focus Good (Safari)
On Focus Bad (Chrome, Firefox)
You can what your browser does with this simple fiddle.
HTML5 draft spec says:
User agents should present this hint to the user, after having stripped line breaks from it, when the element's value is the empty string and/or the control is not focused (e.g. by displaying it inside a blank unfocused control and hiding it otherwise).
The "/or" is new in current draft so I suppose that's why Chrome and Firefox don't support it yet. See WebKit bug #73629, Chromium bug #103025.
Stefano J. Attardi wrote a nice jQuery plugin that just does that.
It is more stable than Robert's and also fades to a lighter grey when the field gets focused.
See the demo page
Grab it on GitHub
Play with the fiddle
I modified his plugin to read placeholder attribute as opposed to manually creating a span.
This fiddle has complete code:
HTML
<input type="text" placeholder="Hello, world!">
JS
// Original code by Stefano J. Attardi, MIT license
(function($) {
function toggleLabel() {
var input = $(this);
if (!input.parent().hasClass('placeholder')) {
var label = $('<label>').addClass('placeholder');
input.wrap(label);
var span = $('<span>');
span.text(input.attr('placeholder'))
input.removeAttr('placeholder');
span.insertBefore(input);
}
setTimeout(function() {
var def = input.attr('title');
if (!input.val() || (input.val() == def)) {
input.prev('span').css('visibility', '');
if (def) {
var dummy = $('<label></label>').text(def).css('visibility','hidden').appendTo('body');
input.prev('span').css('margin-left', dummy.width() + 3 + 'px');
dummy.remove();
}
} else {
input.prev('span').css('visibility', 'hidden');
}
}, 0);
};
function resetField() {
var def = $(this).attr('title');
if (!$(this).val() || ($(this).val() == def)) {
$(this).val(def);
$(this).prev('span').css('visibility', '');

Robert Nyman discusses the problem and documents his approach in his blog.
This fiddle that has all the neccessary HTML, CSS and JS.
Unfortunately, he solves the problem by changing value.
This will not work by definition if placeholder text is itself a valid input.
I found this question by googling out the solution to the same problem. It seems that existing plugins either don't work in elder browsers or hide placeholder on focus.
So I decided to roll on my own solution while trying to combine best parts from existing plugins.
You may check it out here and open an issue if you face any problems.
How about something simple like this? On focus save out the placeholder attribute value and remove the attribute entirely; on blur, put the attribute back:
$('input[type="text"]').focus( function(){
$(this).attr("data-placeholder",$(this).attr('placeholder')).removeAttr("placeholder");
});
$('input[type="text"]').blur( function(){
$(this).attr("placeholder",$(this).attr('data-placeholder'));
});
I wrote my own css3 only solution. See if that fullfills all your needs.

This is my solution:
the input element is set to "required"
an aditional span element for the placeholder is needed. This element is moved on top of the input element (position: absolute;)
with css selectors the input element is tested for validity (required fields are invalid as long as there is no input) and the placeholder is then hidden.
Pitfall: The placeholder is blocking mouseevents to the input! This problem is circumvented by hiding the placeholder element when the mouse is inside the parent (wrapper).
<div class="wrapper">
<input txpe="text" autofocus="autofocus" required/>
<span class="placeholder">Hier text</span>
</div>
.placeholder {
display: none;
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
right: 0;
top: 0px;
color: #A1A1A1;
}
input:invalid + .placeholder {
display: block; /* show the placeholder as long as the "required" field is empty */
}
.wrapper:hover .placeholder {
display: none; /* required to guarantee the input is clickable */
}
.wrapper{
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
Maybe you can try with Float Label Pattern :)
