Core points

• Scroll-based animations and special effects are a technology that allows web developers to create dynamic and interactive web experiences. They are triggered when the user scrolls down the page and can be manipulated and implemented with CSS and jQuery.
• To create responsive scroll-based effects, the width and height properties of the browser window must be defined. Without these properties, the effects will not work properly when the user resizes the window.
• This tutorial provides four scroll-based animations and effects examples that demonstrate how they vary based on the value of the window width attribute. These examples include animation of opacity, height, width, left, right, and bottom properties of various elements.
• This tutorial also contains a FAQ section that provides solutions to common problems such as creating smooth scrolling effects, detecting scrolling directions, and stopping jQuery animations.

Web page technology is changing with each passing day, new technologies and techniques are emerging one after another, and some old technologies are gradually being eliminated. Therefore, web designers and front-end developers must be familiar with many of the latest web design trends. Parallax scrolling, fixed header, flat design, single page websites and animation are some of the hottest web trends at present.

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create scroll-based animations and special effects using CSS and jQuery.

You can click this demo to view the four special effects we will create. But before we start explaining the special effects, let's briefly introduce it.

Note: The code used in this tutorial can be improved by object caching and using CSS animations (rather than jQuery's animate() method), but for simplicity, we repeated the object declaration and put everything in it for everything. All are kept in jQuery to make the focus on concepts.

What are scroll-based animations and special effects?

Scroll-based animations and special effects are a novel and well-known approach that enables front-end developers to create rich and interactive web experiences. They are triggered when the user scrolls down the page and can be easily manipulated and implemented using CSS and jQuery.

To detect whether the user is scrolling down the page, we use jQuery's scroll() event.

Once we know that the user is scrolling, we can use jQuery's scrollTop() method to get the vertical position of the window scrollbar and apply the required special effects:

$(window).scroll(function() {
    if ($(this).scrollTop() > 0) {
        // 應(yīng)用特效和動(dòng)畫(huà)
    }
});

Are they responsive?

If we want to create responsive scroll-based effects, we must define the following properties:

1. Width property of the browser window.
2. Height properties of the browser window.

If these properties are not defined, we will create "static" scroll-based effects that will not work properly when the user resizes the window horizontally or vertically.

We can easily retrieve the values ??of these properties using jQuery's width() and height() methods.

The following code snippet shows all the necessary checks that must be considered in order to create scroll-based effects.

$(window).scroll(function() {
    if ($(this).scrollTop() > 0) {
        // 應(yīng)用特效和動(dòng)畫(huà)
    }
});

Now that we have introduced the basics of scrolling effects, let's take a look at it with four different examples.

Note: For simplicity, we only focus on how these effects vary according to different values ??of the window width attribute. The same process can also be used for the height properties of the window.

Example #1

This effect will be triggered when the top position of the window scroll bar exceeds 60px. In this case, the executed code snippet is as follows:

$(window).scroll(function() {
    if ($(this).width() <= 549 && $(this).height() <= 549 && $(this).scrollTop() > 600) {
        // 應(yīng)用特效
    } else if ($(this).width() > 549 && $(this).width() <= 991 && $(this).scrollTop() > 480) {
        // 應(yīng)用特效
    } else if ($(this).scrollTop() > 450) {
        // 應(yīng)用特效
    }
});

The code above hides the

child element of the .banner element and shows its initially hidden child element. h2 .infoThis code can also be written like this:

To view this effect in action, check out the full demo on CodePen.

if ($(window).scrollTop() > 60) {
    $('.banner h2').css('display', 'none');
    $('.banner .info').css('display', 'block');
} else {
    $('.banner h2').css('display', 'block');
    $('.banner .info').css('display', 'none');
}

Example #2

The next special effect depends not only on the top position of the browser scrollbar, but also on the width of the window. More specifically, we made the following assumptions:

The value of the width attribute of the window is less than or equal to 549px. In this case, the animation will only be triggered if the top position of the window scroll bar exceeds 600px.

1. The value of the width attribute of the window is between 550px and 991px. In this case, the animation will only be triggered if the top position of the window scroll bar exceeds 480px.
2. The value of the browser's width attribute is greater than 991px. In this case, the animation will only be triggered if the top position of the window scroll bar exceeds 450px.
The above assumption leads to the following code snippet:

The code containing the animation to be executed is as follows:

if ($(window).scrollTop() > 60) {
    $('.banner h2').hide();
    $('.banner .info').show();
} else {
    $('.banner h2').show();
    $('.banner .info').hide();
}

The above code animates opacity, height and width for

if ($(window).width() <= 549) {
    if ($(window).scrollTop() > 600) {
        // 執(zhí)行的動(dòng)畫(huà)
        firstAnimation();
    }
} else if ($(window).width() > 549 && $(window).width() <= 991) {
    if ($(window).scrollTop() > 480) {
        // 執(zhí)行的動(dòng)畫(huà)
        firstAnimation();
    }
} else {
    if ($(window).scrollTop() > 450) {
        // 應(yīng)該執(zhí)行的動(dòng)畫(huà)
        firstAnimation();
    }
}

elements.
