I have two static (html position: fixed;) images at the edges of the screen (right and left). When users scrolls more than 100 pixels from top, these edges retract 50 pixels.
I want to them to reappear (normal again, as they were at the beginning) when users scrolls back to top. I tried adding boolean value which is true when they retract and added it to condition when they need to reappear again. But it isn't working. Why?
userHasScrolled = false;
$(document).ready(function(){
$(window).scroll(function(){
if ($(window).scrollTop() > 100) {
$(".rightstatic").animate({marginRight:'-50px'}, 900);
$(".leftstatic").animate({marginLeft:'-50px'}, 900);
userHasScrolled = true;
}
});
});
if($(window).scrollTop() <= 0 && userHasScrolled) {
$(".rightstatic").animate({marginRight: '+50px'}, 400);
$(".leftstatic").animate({marginLeft:'+50px'}, 400);
userHasScrolled = false;
}
Edit:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(window).scroll(function(){
if ($(window).scrollTop() > 100) {
$(".rightstatic").animate({marginRight:'-20px'}, 900);
$(".leftstatic").animate({marginLeft:'-20px'}, 900);
} else if($(window).scrollTop() <= 0) {
$(".rightstatic").animate({marginRight: '+0px'}, 400);
$(".leftstatic").animate({marginLeft:'+0px'}, 400);
}
});
});
It kind of works, but has a HUGE delay. Like more than a minute after reaching top it retracts back.
Edit 2: After throttling it finally works. Thanks @TomaszBubała.
