Active nav-item styling using both scrollTrigger and click

Hi there!

 

I'm a newbie - been struggling to get this working for a week now.

 

I've created a function that animates the styling of the clicked nav-link.

I also created a timeline with a scroll trigger that is supposed to call the same function when each section scrolls into view. (This is the part that's not working.)

 

I think my mistake has something to do with scope?  Sorry - I don't even exactly know what that means.

The reason I think that, is because when I put the nav styling tweens directly into the Nav Animation timeline, then the animation works.

 

If there is a more efficient way to achieve this please tell me.

 

Thanks so much!

 

Sonya.

 

PS. I did manage to achieve the nav styling using scrollTrigger's toggleClass, but animating the style with css does not look as smooth.

Hey Sonya and welcome to the GreenSock forums.

 

You should use your developer tools console (F12) to check for errors. Opening it up for your pen I see "Uncaught TypeError: ALL_FUNCTIONS.sectionOne is not a function". I'm guessing those are additional animations that you took out for the sake of the demo (thanks for doing that).

 

FYI we recommend using the GSAP 3 way of formatting. For more about that check the GSAP 3 migration guide.

 

The main issue is that you're using an older version of ScrollTrigger that has a bug related to zero duration timelines with ScrollTriggers. Update the file to version 3.3.3 and it will animate some. 

 

But you'll still need to change your code a bit because you need a way to animate back to the previous section on reverse. I might do it by calling your method with the previous item - something like this: tl.call(ALL_FUNCTIONS.styleTheNav, [prevmenuitem]); - before you call the item that shows for that section. That way when you reverse it it'd call the previous one second. If you have overwrite: "auto" on those tweens, it should animate the way you want. I'd also recommend a toggleActions of toggleActions: "play none none reverse".

 

I noticed that you tried to use the position parameter on non-timeline tweens. That won't work because the tweens have nothing to position them in regards to.

 

Happy tweening.

Thanks so much for all the advice Zach!

 

I don't understand some of what you said, but I'll go through your points one at a time and implement them.

 

You rock!

 

Oh... and yes, I removed some of the animations to make the pen simpler and forgot to remove them from the main timeline.

I don't know why "ScrollToPlugin" is not working, Everything is working fine. When I click on any Side navigation "a" , it's not working.

Here is my live site link: http://araf.dynamicflowdev.com/

Before you gave me this solution I have tried this. 

See the Pen mdVROOX by arafnoob (@arafnoob) on CodePen

 

But I have tried yours. As your code everything is working fine. But when I click on any link. It doesn't move.

On my phone now. Check the console. Also did you realize that I changed the HTML and CSS some?

I have seen all of those HTML & CSS changes. I have seen my console too. When i click on the links there is no error. I have seen tons of examples and tons of site :-( .. Feeling soooo lonely. 

 

Sorry for disturbing when you available on your PC then please check this site. http://araf.dynamicflowdev.com/

It's very hard for us to debug on a live site. I'm guessing something is wrong in your script but I can't say what.

 

If you're sure your script is correct, try stripping out other things until it starts working. Then figure out what is causing conflict.

 

By the way I see that you loaded GSAP 1 as well on that page. No need for that.

I just want you to see this script. http://araf.dynamicflowdev.com/wp-content/plugins/revslider/public/assets/js/rbtools.min.js?ver=6.0.5

 

And I have removed GSAP 1. 
 

In this script there are some 'ScrollToPlugin' codes. Press the 'ctrl+f' then find the scrolltoplugin. You will understand. Do you think it is affecting something on my site?

As far as I can tell that's just loading the assets. Regardless, it's minified so we can't figure out what the issue is.

as  much I know, there is a 'ScrollTo' function which is interrupting your created function. :-| And I don't know how to find it :-(

By the way, have you seen that? after manually scrolling down to the another section. Then, when I click on the side nav links; It goes up as we wanted. But it's not going down when we click on those same links :-(

The end position is obviously off. They're all going to the same position. 

 

We can't help you with this information. if you would like our help, please create a minimal demo on CodePen that recreates the issue.
