Quite unsuccessfully, I am trying to align the content of multiple horizontally scrollable containers on http://paintings.directory



With no luck, I'm trying to scroll all child divs -with the same class- to the far left in their parent divs.



I have looked for a solution with no luck and therefor decided to post a question here hoping to find help.



$('#anno_1777').click(function(e) 
$('section').animate(scrollLeft:$('.anno_1777').position().left, 500);
);


When I click on the (pink) 1777 button in the header I expect all child divs to "scrollLeft" within their parent divs...

          All <section> elements get scrolled to the same position.



          Note that position() returns "coordinates of the first element in the set of matched elements".

          So $('.anno_1777').position() gets the position of the first .anno_1777 element in any section.

          Then all sections are scrolled to that same pixel position.



          I suggest using selector context to target the .anno_1777 element within each <section>:



           $('.anno_1777', this)


          To do so, iterate through all the sections using jQuery's each().

          This also allows you to ensure the appropriate element exists in each <section> before animating it.






          var $sections = $('section');

          $('#anno_1777').on('click', function(e)
          $sections.each(function()
          let $section = $(this);
          let $target = $('.anno_1777', $section);
          if ($target.length)
          $section.animate(
          scrollLeft: $section.scrollLeft() + $target.position().left
          , 500);

          );
          );

          Edit



          Since the position() of an element will vary depending on the scroll position of its offset parent, I recommend including the <section> element's scroll position in the scrollLeft calculation. I've edited my code (above) accordingly:



          scrollLeft: $section.scrollLeft() + $target.position().left


          Edit



          To minimize repeated code, I'd get the year from the clicked element and add that to your class selector. I'm using a data attribute just to keep the data separated from what's displayed, but you could also just use the text() of the clicked year element. Something like this:



          <div id="index_year">
          <div data-year="1777">1777</div>
          <div data-year="1899">1899</div>
          <div data-year="1900">1900</div>
          ....
          </div>


          $('#index_year div').on('click', function(e) 
          let year = $(this).data('year');
          $sections.each(function()
          let $section = $(this);
          let $target = $('.anno_' + year, $section);
          if ($target.length)
          $section.animate(
          scrollLeft: $section.scrollLeft() + $target.position().left
          , 500);

          );
          );


          Here's a working example.

          • Thanks @showdev, highly appreciated! How would I best approach to alter the code in such a way so it also works after a user has been 'scrolling around' in one or more of the parent divs? Do I for example first reset them all and then execute it again?

          • I am repeating the code you wrote for every 'year' button. This means that the bit of code appears hundreds of times soon. How do I best prevent this repetitive appearance of script? Do I target all child divs with a class similar to the ID of the year button clicked (for example 'anno_1777')?

          • I'd grab the year value from the clicked element and use that to build your class selector. I added an example to my answer.

          • how would I best add a class to the sections that do not contain the year value I click on? e.g. clicking on 1777 calls all 1777 paintings, however adds a class to the sections without paintings from 1777.... (so I can then use that class to slightly fade these sections out). Not a clue when to fade these back in... that's for me to figure out later -_-" Thousand times thanks!

          All <section> elements get scrolled to the same position.



          Note that position() returns "coordinates of the first element in the set of matched elements".

          So $('.anno_1777').position() gets the position of the first .anno_1777 element in any section.

          Then all sections are scrolled to that same pixel position.



          I suggest using selector context to target the .anno_1777 element within each <section>:



           $('.anno_1777', this)


          To do so, iterate through all the sections using jQuery's each().

          This also allows you to ensure the appropriate element exists in each <section> before animating it.






          var $sections = $('section');

          $('#anno_1777').on('click', function(e)
          $sections.each(function()
          let $section = $(this);
          let $target = $('.anno_1777', $section);
          if ($target.length)
          $section.animate(
          scrollLeft: $section.scrollLeft() + $target.position().left
          , 500);

          );
          );

          Edit



          Since the position() of an element will vary depending on the scroll position of its offset parent, I recommend including the <section> element's scroll position in the scrollLeft calculation. I've edited my code (above) accordingly:



          scrollLeft: $section.scrollLeft() + $target.position().left


          Edit



          To minimize repeated code, I'd get the year from the clicked element and add that to your class selector. I'm using a data attribute just to keep the data separated from what's displayed, but you could also just use the text() of the clicked year element. Something like this:



          <div id="index_year">
          <div data-year="1777">1777</div>
          <div data-year="1899">1899</div>
          <div data-year="1900">1900</div>
          ....
          </div>


          $('#index_year div').on('click', function(e) 
          let year = $(this).data('year');
          $sections.each(function()
          let $section = $(this);
          let $target = $('.anno_' + year, $section);
          if ($target.length)
          $section.animate(
          scrollLeft: $section.scrollLeft() + $target.position().left
          , 500);

          );
          );


          Here's a working example.

          • Thanks @showdev, highly appreciated! How would I best approach to alter the code in such a way so it also works after a user has been 'scrolling around' in one or more of the parent divs? Do I for example first reset them all and then execute it again?

          • I am repeating the code you wrote for every 'year' button. This means that the bit of code appears hundreds of times soon. How do I best prevent this repetitive appearance of script? Do I target all child divs with a class similar to the ID of the year button clicked (for example 'anno_1777')?

          • I'd grab the year value from the clicked element and use that to build your class selector. I added an example to my answer.

          • how would I best add a class to the sections that do not contain the year value I click on? e.g. clicking on 1777 calls all 1777 paintings, however adds a class to the sections without paintings from 1777.... (so I can then use that class to slightly fade these sections out). Not a clue when to fade these back in... that's for me to figure out later -_-" Thousand times thanks!

          All <section> elements get scrolled to the same position.



          Note that position() returns "coordinates of the first element in the set of matched elements".

          So $('.anno_1777').position() gets the position of the first .anno_1777 element in any section.

          Then all sections are scrolled to that same pixel position.



          I suggest using selector context to target the .anno_1777 element within each <section>:



           $('.anno_1777', this)


          To do so, iterate through all the sections using jQuery's each().

          This also allows you to ensure the appropriate element exists in each <section> before animating it.






          var $sections = $('section');

          $('#anno_1777').on('click', function(e)
          $sections.each(function()
          let $section = $(this);
          let $target = $('.anno_1777', $section);
          if ($target.length)
          $section.animate(
          scrollLeft: $section.scrollLeft() + $target.position().left
          , 500);

          );
          );

          Edit



          Since the position() of an element will vary depending on the scroll position of its offset parent, I recommend including the <section> element's scroll position in the scrollLeft calculation. I've edited my code (above) accordingly:



          scrollLeft: $section.scrollLeft() + $target.position().left


          Edit



          To minimize repeated code, I'd get the year from the clicked element and add that to your class selector. I'm using a data attribute just to keep the data separated from what's displayed, but you could also just use the text() of the clicked year element. Something like this:



          <div id="index_year">
          <div data-year="1777">1777</div>
          <div data-year="1899">1899</div>
          <div data-year="1900">1900</div>
          ....
          </div>


          $('#index_year div').on('click', function(e) 
          let year = $(this).data('year');
          $sections.each(function()
          let $section = $(this);
          let $target = $('.anno_' + year, $section);
          if ($target.length)
          $section.animate(
          scrollLeft: $section.scrollLeft() + $target.position().left
          , 500);

          );
          );


          Here's a working example.

          • Thanks @showdev, highly appreciated! How would I best approach to alter the code in such a way so it also works after a user has been 'scrolling around' in one or more of the parent divs? Do I for example first reset them all and then execute it again?

          • I am repeating the code you wrote for every 'year' button. This means that the bit of code appears hundreds of times soon. How do I best prevent this repetitive appearance of script? Do I target all child divs with a class similar to the ID of the year button clicked (for example 'anno_1777')?

          • I'd grab the year value from the clicked element and use that to build your class selector. I added an example to my answer.

          • how would I best add a class to the sections that do not contain the year value I click on? e.g. clicking on 1777 calls all 1777 paintings, however adds a class to the sections without paintings from 1777.... (so I can then use that class to slightly fade these sections out). Not a clue when to fade these back in... that's for me to figure out later -_-" Thousand times thanks!

          All <section> elements get scrolled to the same position.



          Note that position() returns "coordinates of the first element in the set of matched elements".

          So $('.anno_1777').position() gets the position of the first .anno_1777 element in any section.

          Then all sections are scrolled to that same pixel position.



          I suggest using selector context to target the .anno_1777 element within each <section>:



           $('.anno_1777', this)


          To do so, iterate through all the sections using jQuery's each().

          This also allows you to ensure the appropriate element exists in each <section> before animating it.






          var $sections = $('section');

          $('#anno_1777').on('click', function(e)
          $sections.each(function()
          let $section = $(this);
          let $target = $('.anno_1777', $section);
          if ($target.length)
          $section.animate(
          scrollLeft: $section.scrollLeft() + $target.position().left
          , 500);

          );
          );

          Edit



          Since the position() of an element will vary depending on the scroll position of its offset parent, I recommend including the <section> element's scroll position in the scrollLeft calculation. I've edited my code (above) accordingly:



          scrollLeft: $section.scrollLeft() + $target.position().left


          Edit



          To minimize repeated code, I'd get the year from the clicked element and add that to your class selector. I'm using a data attribute just to keep the data separated from what's displayed, but you could also just use the text() of the clicked year element. Something like this:



          <div id="index_year">
          <div data-year="1777">1777</div>
          <div data-year="1899">1899</div>
          <div data-year="1900">1900</div>
          ....
          </div>


          $('#index_year div').on('click', function(e) 
          let year = $(this).data('year');
          $sections.each(function()
          let $section = $(this);
          let $target = $('.anno_' + year, $section);
          if ($target.length)
          $section.animate(
          scrollLeft: $section.scrollLeft() + $target.position().left
          , 500);

          );
          );


          Here's a working example.

          All <section> elements get scrolled to the same position.



          Note that position() returns "coordinates of the first element in the set of matched elements".

          So $('.anno_1777').position() gets the position of the first .anno_1777 element in any section.

          Then all sections are scrolled to that same pixel position.



          I suggest using selector context to target the .anno_1777 element within each <section>:



           $('.anno_1777', this)


          To do so, iterate through all the sections using jQuery's each().

          This also allows you to ensure the appropriate element exists in each <section> before animating it.






          var $sections = $('section');

          $('#anno_1777').on('click', function(e)
          $sections.each(function()
          let $section = $(this);
          let $target = $('.anno_1777', $section);
          if ($target.length)
          $section.animate(
          scrollLeft: $section.scrollLeft() + $target.position().left
          , 500);

          );
          );

          Edit



          Since the position() of an element will vary depending on the scroll position of its offset parent, I recommend including the <section> element's scroll position in the scrollLeft calculation. I've edited my code (above) accordingly:



          scrollLeft: $section.scrollLeft() + $target.position().left


          Edit



          To minimize repeated code, I'd get the year from the clicked element and add that to your class selector. I'm using a data attribute just to keep the data separated from what's displayed, but you could also just use the text() of the clicked year element. Something like this:



          <div id="index_year">
          <div data-year="1777">1777</div>
          <div data-year="1899">1899</div>
          <div data-year="1900">1900</div>
          ....
          </div>


          $('#index_year div').on('click', function(e) 
          let year = $(this).data('year');
          $sections.each(function()
          let $section = $(this);
          let $target = $('.anno_' + year, $section);
          if ($target.length)
          $section.animate(
          scrollLeft: $section.scrollLeft() + $target.position().left
          , 500);

          );
          );


          Here's a working example.






          var $sections = $('section');

          $('#anno_1777').on('click', function(e)
          $sections.each(function()
          let $section = $(this);
          let $target = $('.anno_1777', $section);
          if ($target.length)
          $section.animate(
          scrollLeft: $section.scrollLeft() + $target.position().left
          , 500);

          );
          );

          • Thanks @showdev, highly appreciated! How would I best approach to alter the code in such a way so it also works after a user has been 'scrolling around' in one or more of the parent divs? Do I for example first reset them all and then execute it again?

          • Since the position() of an element will vary depending on the scroll position of its offset parent, I recommend including the <section> element's scroll position in the scrollLeft calculation. I've edited my answer accordingly.

          • I am repeating the code you wrote for every 'year' button. This means that the bit of code appears hundreds of times soon. How do I best prevent this repetitive appearance of script? Do I target all child divs with a class similar to the ID of the year button clicked (for example 'anno_1777')?

          • I'd grab the year value from the clicked element and use that to build your class selector. I added an example to my answer.

          • how would I best add a class to the sections that do not contain the year value I click on? e.g. clicking on 1777 calls all 1777 paintings, however adds a class to the sections without paintings from 1777.... (so I can then use that class to slightly fade these sections out). Not a clue when to fade these back in... that's for me to figure out later -_-" Thousand times thanks!

          how would I best add a class to the sections that do not contain the year value I click on? e.g. clicking on 1777 calls all 1777 paintings, however adds a class to the sections without paintings from 1777.... (so I can then use that class to slightly fade these sections out). Not a clue when to fade these back in... that's for me to figure out later -_-" Thousand times thanks!
