Simulate top scroll using javacsript setInterval & clearInterval

Image
By User



I want to simulate scroll by moving body/html frame to the top/upwards by arbitrary amount. I know jQuery scroll or animate function, .scroll() and .animate() . But I have decided not to use it since it caused conflict between scrollTop property in animate and .scroll() jQuery native function when the animation happens and is still ongoing AND the .scroll gets called..





My plan is now to just simulate scroll by moving body/html frame to the top as smooth as possible by some arbitrary amount, and then STOP (clear the interval) when there's a native scroll happens ( .scroll() gets invoked).





I am able to stop the setInterval animation when .scroll() is called, but I am still not able to move the html object to the top by the amount I want it to "scroll" (which means my code only partially works).





Here is what I have so far:







var scrollTop = //Some arbitrary value

var fakeScroll = setInterval(function(){

      console.log(scrollTop);

      var animObj = $('html,body');

      animObj.top = animObj.offset().top + scrollTop;   

    },500);

    $(document).scroll(function(){

        clearInterval(fakeScroll);

    });







Appreciate any suggestions/answers. Thanks!

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
