jQuery.ScrollTo Notice I've pretty much stopped updating this blog, but the plugin development is still on-going. You can find the link to the Github project page at the bottom of the article. Introduction An article about animated scrolling with jQuery inspired me to make a small, customizable plugin for scrolling elements, or the window itself. How to specify what to scroll ? Simple, all the matched elements will be scrolled, for example: $('div.pane').scrollTo(); If you need to scroll the window (screen), then use: $.scrollTo(); How to specify where ? Settings Getting the real scrollable element out of a node In order to find the real element whose attributes will be animated, you need to call $.fn. $(window). Manually finding the scrolling limit ScrollTo always had an internal function that calculates the scrolling limit for both axes. Overloading This plugin accepts the arguments in two ways, like $.animate(). $().scrollTo( , , ); $().scrollTo( , ); In this second case, you can specify the duration in the hash.
jQuery.parallax Download git clone github.com/stephband/jparallax Instantiation jQuery( '.parallax-layer' ).parallax( options ); What does jquery.parallax do? jParallax turns nodes into absolutely positioned layers that move in response to the mouse. With a bit of CSS you can either set up windows to see these layers through, or leave them free to roam about. The diagram on the right illustrates what jParallax does to the html: and here's a demonstration with some images: More demos demos/index.html demos/stalkbuttons.html - multiple parallax. demos/remotecontrol.html - parallax by remote control. demos/thumbnails.html - beautiful interactive thumbnails. demos/target.html - demonstrates how smoothly jParallax handles window resizing. Using jParallax The default behaviour of jParallax is to show the whole width of a layer in response to the mouse travelling the whole width of the mouseport. There are various ways to style jParallax effectively. Options Layer Options Events
Nikebetterworld Parallax Effect Demo | Ian Lunn A couple of months ago, I created a jQuery Vertical Parallax Demo that manipulated CSS to make multiple backgrounds move at different speeds relative to the users movement of the scroll bar. This type of effect is slowly appearing across various websites on the web, achieved using many different techniques. Nikebetterworld took the idea to a new level. In today’s tutorial, we’re going to take the original jQuery Parallax script I wrote and recreate a webpage similar to Nikebetterworld. If you’d like to see what we’ll be creating, go check out the demo or download the files. The HTML Our page will consist of 6 sections: header, footer and 4 articles. To start, at the top of the page, we’ll reference all of the JavaScript files we’ll use to make the effect work. We also need to initiate the localScroll function on the unordered list of article links that are fixed to the right of the page. Inside of our body tag, we begin with the unordered list that provides a quick link to each section.

Adaptor, an extensible jQuery content slider | Phil Parsons This jQuery plugin is a free and lightweight content slider for creating cool 3D (and 2D) slideshows for featured content on your website. In older browsers that do not support CSS3 with 3D transitions the plugin detects them and degrades gracefully to a simple transition maintaining the rich user experience for everyone. The plugin is powered by jQuery and CSS and is designed to be easy to add to an existing web page with the minimal effort on the designer or developer’s part. If you are a developer and want to spice things up a bit the plugin exposes a simple API for adding animation effects and extending it’s core functionality with paging controls and feedback indicators. The full developer documentation for the plugin can be found on the Github project pages —the same place you can download the latest version of the code. This post aims to provide a high level example of how to set the plugin up along with a demo of the available effects and extensions. Setting up the HTML
SUPERSCROLLORAMA SuperScrollorama is powered by TweenMax and the Greensock Tweening Engine. Go to greensock.com for documentation on how to use it. Why Greensock/TweenMax? First, link to the jQuery CDN and then embed TweenMax.js and SuperScrollorama. When initializing SuperScrollorama there are several options you might want to change. $.superscrollorama({options}) vars: optional properties for the pin method (object): isVertical Are we scrolling vertically (true) or horizontally (false)? Example Use the addTween method to build your scroll animations. .addTween(target, tween, duration, offset, reverse) target: scroll position (number) or element (string or object) tween: a Greensock animation tween object duration: scroll duration of tween in pixels (0 means autoplay) offset: adjust the animation start point reverse: disable reverse animation on up scrolling (optional) In the example below, the animation fades in when scrolled into view. Pass in a function to the tween for when the animation is complete.
scrollorama Disclaimer: This is an experimental, just-for-fun sort of project and hasn’t been thoroughly tested. Design and build your site, dividing your content into blocks. Embed scrollorama.js after jQuery and initialize the plugin, passing the blocks class selector as a parameter. Target an element and animate its properties. The animation parameters you can use are: Hook into the onBlockChange event. scrollorama.onBlockChange(function() { alert('You just scrolled to block#'+scrollorama.blockIndex); }); Note: If you are not using the pinning feature, it is recommended you disable it.
Smooth Vertical or Horizontal Page Scrolling with jQuery In this tutorial we will create a simple smooth scrolling effect with jQuery. We will create a horizontal and a vertical website layout to show the effect. We will be using the jQuery Easing Plugin and just a few lines of jQuery. So, let’s start! View demoDownload source In this tutorial we will create a simple smooth scrolling effect with jQuery. So, let’s start! The Markup The markup for our example page is going to be very plain. The HTML is going to be the same for both examples. The CSS Since we have two examples, we will start with the horizontal page style. The main idea is to make the sections very wide and 100% in height. We need to give the body a valid height, because we want to be able to define the height 100% to the section. The style for the vertical page layout is going to look as follows: Nothing special here, just that we give a big height to the sections. Let’s add the JavaScript The JavaScript The function for the horizontal scrolling effect is the following:

Unheap - A tidy repository of jQuery plugins How To Create a Horizontally Scrolling Site If web pages were made out of wood, the grain would be running up and down. Vertical is the natural flow of web layout. When page elements reach the right edge of the browser window and go over, the flow defaults to "wrapping" that element down onto the next line. The more content on the page, the taller it gets, not the wider. Why is this? This natural flow has lead to conventions in web page layout and even into hardware itself. View Demo Download Files The best way to do it I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I think a table is the best layout technique for a horizontally scrolling site. Set a really wide static width. The <table> method What we need is a page element which can expand horizontally as needed and never "wrap". Let's assume we are trying to lay out a series of blog posts one after another horizontally. <table><tr><td> .. blog post #1 </td><td> .. blog post #2 </td><td> .. blog post #3 </td></tr></table> Yuck, right? <article class="post"> .. blog post #1 ..
