How to hide single div at a time without flashing rather setting visibility hidden












5














i want to hide a single div at a time so that below flashing can be avoided(shown in image)



enter image description here



NOTE: i cannot use visibility:hidden or visibility:show or $sel.css('visibility','hidden'); or $sel.css('visibility','show');



My Expectation: when I do $content.hide(); in the DOM see html area in image provided by me where style="display:none"/style="display:block" is happening for every element, rather I want to hide that particular element at a time (so no multiple display/hide at a time, only one display/hide) similar to #snippet2, #snippet1 should work (but hidden element should not contain any width/height)



below is my code which should work with display:none or $el.hide()/$el.show():



#Snippet1






$(function() {
var pos = 1;
var ii = 0;

var centerbandTop = $('.center-band').offset().top;
var centerbandBottom = $('.center-band').outerHeight() + centerbandTop;
$('.contents').hide();
var intId = setInterval(function() {
ii++;
pos = -ii;
//console.log(pos);
//if (pos )
$('.contents').each(function() {
var $content = $(this);
var contentTop = $content.offset().top;
var contentBottom = $content.outerHeight() + contentTop;

$content.hide();

//console.log($content.position().top, centerbandTop, contentBottom);
if (centerbandBottom > contentTop && centerbandTop < contentBottom)
$content.show();
});

$('.container').css({
// '-webkit-transform' : 'translate(0,' + pos + ')',
transform: 'translateY(' + pos + 'px)'

    Do you mean the part where devtools shows that something is changing in the dom? That's what you want to hide?

    Why do you care about DevTools and it flashing its DOM changes?

    I think your question is still confusing. What exactly is the problem? What's not performing how you would expect? How do you expect it to perform?

    Put a console.log(contentTop, contentBottom) just before if (centerbandBottom > contentTop && centerbandTop < contentBottom) and you'll notice that when you use $content.hide() the value of contentTop and contentBottom are relatively fixed (never changes). So they either stay hidden or toggled forever between hidden and shown (which causes the flashes)

share|improve this question















i want to hide a single div at a time so that below flashing can be avoided(shown in image)



enter image description here



NOTE: i cannot use visibility:hidden or visibility:show or $sel.css('visibility','hidden'); or $sel.css('visibility','show');



My Expectation: when I do $content.hide(); in the DOM see html area in image provided by me where style="display:none"/style="display:block" is happening for every element, rather I want to hide that particular element at a time (so no multiple display/hide at a time, only one display/hide) similar to #snippet2, #snippet1 should work (but hidden element should not contain any width/height)



below is my code which should work with display:none or $el.hide()/$el.show():



#Snippet1






$(function() {
var pos = 1;
var ii = 0;

var centerbandTop = $('.center-band').offset().top;
var centerbandBottom = $('.center-band').outerHeight() + centerbandTop;
$('.contents').hide();
var intId = setInterval(function() {
ii++;
pos = -ii;
//console.log(pos);
//if (pos )
$('.contents').each(function() {
var $content = $(this);
var contentTop = $content.offset().top;
var contentBottom = $content.outerHeight() + contentTop;

$content.hide();

//console.log($content.position().top, centerbandTop, contentBottom);
if (centerbandBottom > contentTop && centerbandTop < contentBottom)
$content.show();
});

$('.container').css({
// '-webkit-transform' : 'translate(0,' + pos + ')',
transform: 'translateY(' + pos + 'px)'
});

}, 100);

    Do you mean the part where devtools shows that something is changing in the dom? That's what you want to hide?

    Why do you care about DevTools and it flashing its DOM changes?

    I think your question is still confusing. What exactly is the problem? What's not performing how you would expect? How do you expect it to perform?

    Put a console.log(contentTop, contentBottom) just before if (centerbandBottom > contentTop && centerbandTop < contentBottom) and you'll notice that when you use $content.hide() the value of contentTop and contentBottom are relatively fixed (never changes). So they either stay hidden or toggled forever between hidden and shown (which causes the flashes)

It is hard to understand your question, but from the code snippets you provided it looks like you need to fundamentally rethink your approach.



Your code moves the "container" div up and then computes the positions of the contained elements, but the problem is that when you hide or show an element all the other elements move in response. So when "contents 1" gets above the center band and you hide it, it stops taking up space and "contents 2" moves to where "contents 1" was. However, since "contents 1" was above the center band, now "contents 2" is above the center band and you are going to hide that, too. And so in your code, as soon as "contents 1" gets above the center band, all the contents will be hidden.



There are many ways to handle this, and the best way for your situation will probably depend on details of what you are truly trying to accomplish and which are not clear from your question. Using CSS overflow: hidden is probably the most efficient and you do not really explain what is wrong with that solution.



Another option is to adjust the position of the container to compensate for hiding the element. You also have to have some way to figure out when to show items that enter the box, which you cannot do from their position, because they are hidden. This snippet is not ideal, and there are some glitches because of margins, but it shows the concept.






$(function() {
var pos = 0;
var showNext = false;

var centerbandTop = $('.center-band').offset().top;
var centerbandBottom = $('.center-band').outerHeight() + centerbandTop;

var scroll = function() {
pos--; // move the list up one pixel

$('.contents').each(function() {
var $content = $(this);
// If the previous "contents" moved up enough
// to make room for this hidden element, show it.
if (showNext) {
$content.show();
showNext = false;
} else if ($content.is(':hidden')) // nothing to do
return;

// We have to wait until after we have shown
// the element to compute its position.
var contentTop = $content.offset().top;
var contentBottom = $content.outerHeight() + contentTop;


if (contentBottom < centerbandTop) {
// If the element has exited the top of the
// band, hide it, and move the container
// down to compensate for removing this
// element.
pos = pos + $content.outerHeight(true);
$content.hide();
} else if (contentTop > centerbandBottom) {
// If the element is below the band,
// hide it. Really this only needs to
// be done the first time through.
$content.hide();
}
// If there is room in the center band
// below this element, show the next one
showNext = contentBottom < centerbandBottom;
$('.container').css({
transform: 'translateY(' + pos + 'px)'
});
});


}
// We start with the contents "visibility: hidden"
// and all the elements displayed so we do not
// see them but still can compute their positions.
// One pass through scroll() then hides everything
// that needs to be hidden.
scroll();
// Now we can make everthing visible
$('.contents').css('visibility', 'visible');
// And now we set up the scrolling timer
var intId = setInterval(scroll, 100);

});

    Initially calculate the vertical beginning/ending values of all divs and store this data independently. Make all divs visible (display !== 'none')in the DOM very briefly, while using opacity to hide them, in order to calculate their heights (no way to calculate div height without attaching it to the DOM).



    Also need to make all scrollable items position: absolute so that their removal doesn't reflow the items beneath them. This means javascript also needs to calculate top positions for items.



    Then, whenever things change (whenever new items potentially need to be shown/hidden) check all independently stored position data against the position of the "hot zone" (the zone with which contact causes visibility).






    window.onload = () => {

    let positions = ; // Independently store positional data for text items

    // Keep references to some useful DOM elements
    let hotZone = document.getElementsByClassName('hot-zone')[0];
    let scroller = document.getElementsByClassName('scroller')[0];
    let scrollerHeight = scroller.getElementsByClassName('height')[0];
    let items = document.getElementsByClassName('item');

    let totalHeight = 0; // We'll track total height of items as we go
    for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
    let { height } = items[i].getBoundingClientRect();
    items[i].style.top = `${Math.round(totalHeight)}px`;
    items[i].style.display = 'none';
    positions.push([ totalHeight, height ]);
    totalHeight += height;
    }

    // Make sure the scroller doesn't shrink when we remove its children
    scrollerHeight.style.height = `${Math.round(totalHeight)}px`;

    let reevaluate = () => {

    let hotRect = hotZone.getBoundingClientRect();
    let scrollRect = scroller.getBoundingClientRect();

    for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
    let [ itemTop, itemHeight ] = positions[i];
    itemTop += scrollRect.top; // Make relative to scroller
    itemTop -= scroller.scrollTop; // Make relative to scroll amt

    let tooHigh = itemTop + itemHeight < hotRect.top;
    let tooLow = itemTop > hotRect.bottom;
    let disp = (tooHigh || tooLow) ? 'none' : 'block';
    if (disp !== items[i].style.display) items[i].style.display = disp;
    }
    };

    // Immediately call `reevaluate` to initially show items
    reevaluate();

    // Now everything is nice so make the scroller completely opaque
    document.getElementsByClassName('scroller')[0].style.opacity = '1';

    // Setup listeners to call `reevaluate` when there's a possibility
    // new items need to show. E.g., the "hot zone" has moved, the items
    // have moved, scrolls have happened, etc.
    scroller.addEventListener('scroll', reevaluate);

    };

    .contain {
    position: fixed;

      So you said in your comment that




      but my requirement is whichever content touches that gray band should
      be shown otherwise it has to be hidden holding no width and height




      From this I understand that you need a vertical text scroller. Why don't you use the gray band div as a container, with overflow hidden, and then scroll the content through it?






          $(function() {
      var pos = 1;
      var ii = 0;

      var centerbandTop = $('.center-band').offset().top;
      var centerbandBottom = $('.center-band').outerHeight() + centerbandTop;
      //$('.contents').hide();
      var intId = setInterval(function() {
      ii++;
      pos = -ii;
      //console.log(pos);
      //if (pos )
      $('.contents').each(function() {
      var $content = $(this);
      var contentTop = $content.offset().top;
      var contentBottom = $content.outerHeight() + contentTop;

      //$content.hide();

      //console.log($content.position().top, centerbandTop, contentBottom);
      //if (centerbandBottom > contentTop && centerbandTop < contentBottom)
      //$content.show();
      });

      $('.container').css({
      // '-webkit-transform' : 'translate(0,' + pos + ')',
      transform: 'translateY(' + pos + 'px)'
      });

      }, 100);
      });

      It is hard to understand your question, but from the code snippets you provided it looks like you need to fundamentally rethink your approach.



      Your code moves the "container" div up and then computes the positions of the contained elements, but the problem is that when you hide or show an element all the other elements move in response. So when "contents 1" gets above the center band and you hide it, it stops taking up space and "contents 2" moves to where "contents 1" was. However, since "contents 1" was above the center band, now "contents 2" is above the center band and you are going to hide that, too. And so in your code, as soon as "contents 1" gets above the center band, all the contents will be hidden.



      There are many ways to handle this, and the best way for your situation will probably depend on details of what you are truly trying to accomplish and which are not clear from your question. Using CSS overflow: hidden is probably the most efficient and you do not really explain what is wrong with that solution.



      Another option is to adjust the position of the container to compensate for hiding the element. You also have to have some way to figure out when to show items that enter the box, which you cannot do from their position, because they are hidden. This snippet is not ideal, and there are some glitches because of margins, but it shows the concept.






      $(function() {
      var pos = 0;
      var showNext = false;

      var centerbandTop = $('.center-band').offset().top;
      var centerbandBottom = $('.center-band').outerHeight() + centerbandTop;

      var scroll = function() {
      pos--; // move the list up one pixel

      $('.contents').each(function() {
      var $content = $(this);
      // If the previous "contents" moved up enough
      // to make room for this hidden element, show it.
      if (showNext) {
      $content.show();
      showNext = false;
      } else if ($content.is(':hidden')) // nothing to do
      return;

      // We have to wait until after we have shown
      // the element to compute its position.
      var contentTop = $content.offset().top;
      var contentBottom = $content.outerHeight() + contentTop;


      if (contentBottom < centerbandTop) {
      // If the element has exited the top of the
      // band, hide it, and move the container
      // down to compensate for removing this
      // element.
      pos = pos + $content.outerHeight(true);
      $content.hide();
      } else if (contentTop > centerbandBottom) {
      // If the element is below the band,
      // hide it. Really this only needs to
      // be done the first time through.
      $content.hide();
      }
      // If there is room in the center band
      // below this element, show the next one
      showNext = contentBottom < centerbandBottom;
      $('.container').css({
      transform: 'translateY(' + pos + 'px)'
      });
      });


      }
      // We start with the contents "visibility: hidden"
      // and all the elements displayed so we do not
      // see them but still can compute their positions.
      // One pass through scroll() then hides everything
      // that needs to be hidden.
      scroll();
      // Now we can make everthing visible
      $('.contents').css('visibility', 'visible');
      // And now we set up the scrolling timer
      var intId = setInterval(scroll, 100);

      });

          It is hard to understand your question, but from the code snippets you provided it looks like you need to fundamentally rethink your approach.



          Your code moves the "container" div up and then computes the positions of the contained elements, but the problem is that when you hide or show an element all the other elements move in response. So when "contents 1" gets above the center band and you hide it, it stops taking up space and "contents 2" moves to where "contents 1" was. However, since "contents 1" was above the center band, now "contents 2" is above the center band and you are going to hide that, too. And so in your code, as soon as "contents 1" gets above the center band, all the contents will be hidden.



          There are many ways to handle this, and the best way for your situation will probably depend on details of what you are truly trying to accomplish and which are not clear from your question. Using CSS overflow: hidden is probably the most efficient and you do not really explain what is wrong with that solution.



          Another option is to adjust the position of the container to compensate for hiding the element. You also have to have some way to figure out when to show items that enter the box, which you cannot do from their position, because they are hidden. This snippet is not ideal, and there are some glitches because of margins, but it shows the concept.






          $(function() {
          var pos = 0;
          var showNext = false;

          var centerbandTop = $('.center-band').offset().top;
          var centerbandBottom = $('.center-band').outerHeight() + centerbandTop;

          var scroll = function() {
          pos--; // move the list up one pixel

          $('.contents').each(function() {
          var $content = $(this);
          // If the previous "contents" moved up enough
          // to make room for this hidden element, show it.
          if (showNext) {
          $content.show();
          showNext = false;
          } else if ($content.is(':hidden')) // nothing to do
          return;

          // We have to wait until after we have shown
          // the element to compute its position.
          var contentTop = $content.offset().top;
          var contentBottom = $content.outerHeight() + contentTop;


          if (contentBottom < centerbandTop) {
          // If the element has exited the top of the
          // band, hide it, and move the container
          // down to compensate for removing this
          // element.
          pos = pos + $content.outerHeight(true);
          $content.hide();
          } else if (contentTop > centerbandBottom) {
          // If the element is below the band,
          // hide it. Really this only needs to
          // be done the first time through.
          $content.hide();
          }
          // If there is room in the center band
          // below this element, show the next one
          showNext = contentBottom < centerbandBottom;
          $('.container').css({
          transform: 'translateY(' + pos + 'px)'
          });
          });


          }
          // We start with the contents "visibility: hidden"
          // and all the elements displayed so we do not
          // see them but still can compute their positions.
          // One pass through scroll() then hides everything
          // that needs to be hidden.
          scroll();
          // Now we can make everthing visible
          $('.contents').css('visibility', 'visible');
          // And now we set up the scrolling timer
          var intId = setInterval(scroll, 100);

              Initially calculate the vertical beginning/ending values of all divs and store this data independently. Make all divs visible (display !== 'none')in the DOM very briefly, while using opacity to hide them, in order to calculate their heights (no way to calculate div height without attaching it to the DOM).



              Also need to make all scrollable items position: absolute so that their removal doesn't reflow the items beneath them. This means javascript also needs to calculate top positions for items.



              Then, whenever things change (whenever new items potentially need to be shown/hidden) check all independently stored position data against the position of the "hot zone" (the zone with which contact causes visibility).






              window.onload = () => {

              let positions = ; // Independently store positional data for text items

              // Keep references to some useful DOM elements
              let hotZone = document.getElementsByClassName('hot-zone')[0];
              let scroller = document.getElementsByClassName('scroller')[0];
              let scrollerHeight = scroller.getElementsByClassName('height')[0];
              let items = document.getElementsByClassName('item');

              let totalHeight = 0; // We'll track total height of items as we go
              for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
              let { height } = items[i].getBoundingClientRect();
              items[i].style.top = `${Math.round(totalHeight)}px`;
              items[i].style.display = 'none';
              positions.push([ totalHeight, height ]);
              totalHeight += height;
              }

              // Make sure the scroller doesn't shrink when we remove its children
              scrollerHeight.style.height = `${Math.round(totalHeight)}px`;

              let reevaluate = () => {

              let hotRect = hotZone.getBoundingClientRect();
              let scrollRect = scroller.getBoundingClientRect();

              for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
              let [ itemTop, itemHeight ] = positions[i];
              itemTop += scrollRect.top; // Make relative to scroller
              itemTop -= scroller.scrollTop; // Make relative to scroll amt

              let tooHigh = itemTop + itemHeight < hotRect.top;

              // Immediately call `reevaluate` to initially show items
              reevaluate();

              // Now everything is nice so make the scroller completely opaque
              document.getElementsByClassName('scroller')[0].style.opacity = '1';

              // Setup listeners to call `reevaluate` when there's a possibility
              // new items need to show. E.g., the "hot zone" has moved, the items
              // have moved, scrolls have happened, etc.

                  Initially calculate the vertical beginning/ending values of all divs and store this data independently. Make all divs visible (display !== 'none')in the DOM very briefly, while using opacity to hide them, in order to calculate their heights (no way to calculate div height without attaching it to the DOM).



                  Also need to make all scrollable items position: absolute so that their removal doesn't reflow the items beneath them. This means javascript also needs to calculate top positions for items.



                  Then, whenever things change (whenever new items potentially need to be shown/hidden) check all independently stored position data against the position of the "hot zone" (the zone with which contact causes visibility).






                  window.onload = () => {

                  let positions = ; // Independently store positional data for text items

                  // Keep references to some useful DOM elements
                  let hotZone = document.getElementsByClassName('hot-zone')[0];
                  let scroller = document.getElementsByClassName('scroller')[0];
                  let scrollerHeight = scroller.getElementsByClassName('height')[0];
                  let items = document.getElementsByClassName('item');

                  let totalHeight = 0; // We'll track total height of items as we go
                  for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
                  let { height } = items[i].getBoundingClientRect();
                  items[i].style.top = `${Math.round(totalHeight)}px`;
                  items[i].style.display = 'none';
                  positions.push([ totalHeight, height ]);
                  totalHeight += height;
                  }

                  // Make sure the scroller doesn't shrink when we remove its children
                  scrollerHeight.style.height = `${Math.round(totalHeight)}px`;

                  let hotRect = hotZone.getBoundingClientRect();
                  let scrollRect = scroller.getBoundingClientRect();

                  for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
                  let [ itemTop, itemHeight ] = positions[i];
                  itemTop += scrollRect.top; // Make relative to scroller
                  itemTop -= scroller.scrollTop; // Make relative to scroll amt

                  let tooHigh = itemTop + itemHeight < hotRect.top;

                      So you said in your comment that




                      but my requirement is whichever content touches that gray band should
                      be shown otherwise it has to be hidden holding no width and height




                      From this I understand that you need a vertical text scroller. Why don't you use the gray band div as a container, with overflow hidden, and then scroll the content through it?






                          $(function() {
                      var pos = 1;
                      var ii = 0;

                      var centerbandTop = $('.center-band').offset().top;
                      var centerbandBottom = $('.center-band').outerHeight() + centerbandTop;
                      //$('.contents').hide();
                      var intId = setInterval(function() {
                      ii++;
                      pos = -ii;
                      //console.log(pos);
                      //if (pos )
                      $('.contents').each(function() {
                      var $content = $(this);
                      var contentTop = $content.offset().top;
                      var contentBottom = $content.outerHeight() + contentTop;

                      //$content.hide();

                      //console.log($content.position().top, centerbandTop, contentBottom);
                      //if (centerbandBottom > contentTop && centerbandTop < contentBottom)
                      //$content.show();
                      });

                      $('.container').css({
                      // '-webkit-transform' : 'translate(0,' + pos + ')',
                      transform: 'translateY(' + pos + 'px)'
                      });

                      }, 100);
                      });

                          .container{

                      }

                      .center-band{
                      width: 98%;
                      height: 78px;

                      So you said in your comment that




                      but my requirement is whichever content touches that gray band should
                      be shown otherwise it has to be hidden holding no width and height




                      From this I understand that you need a vertical text scroller. Why don't you use the gray band div as a container, with overflow hidden, and then scroll the content through it?
