I’m trying to get a form that is split up into a few fieldsets to display appropriately when “next” button is clicked. Here’s the code:
HTML:
And the JS:
var current_fs, next_fs, previous_fs; //fieldsets
var left, opacity, scale; //fieldset properties which we will animate
var animating; //flag to prevent quick multi-click glitches
Template.sell.events({
'click .next' : function(){
if(animating) return false;
animating = true;
current_fs = $(this).parent();
next_fs = $(this).parent().next();
//activate next step on progressbar using the index of next_fs
$("#progressbar li").eq($("fieldset").index(next_fs)).addClass("active");
//show the next fieldset
next_fs.show();
//hide the current fieldset with style
current_fs.animate({opacity: 0}, {
step: function(now, mx) {
console.log('suh');
//as the opacity of current_fs reduces to 0 - stored in "now"
//1. scale current_fs down to 80%
scale = 1 - (1 - now) * 0.2;
//2. bring next_fs from the right(50%)
left = (now * 50)+"%";
//3. increase opacity of next_fs to 1 as it moves in
opacity = 1 - now;
current_fs.css({'transform': 'scale('+scale+')'});
next_fs.css({'left': left, 'opacity': opacity});
},
duration: 800,
complete: function(){
current_fs.hide();
animating = false;
},
//this comes from the custom easing plugin
easing: 'easeInOutBack'
});
}
});
In the console, calling the equivalent of next_fs.show() works, and brings up the next fieldset. However this isn’t getting executed by the JQuery in the template event.
I know that Meteor can be a bit tricky with JQuery but is there anything obviously wrong with what I’m doing here? Is it a matter of the rest of the fieldsets not being rendered possibly? Any help would be greatly appreciated here.
EDIT:
I’m dumb, figured this out (leaving this up in the odd chance someone has the same problem + I’m not sure how to delete a thread). The template event wasn’t getting the appropriate $(this) from the ‘click .next’ event, so I threw that in as well and now it’s working as intended!
