Ninja JavaScript scrolling: How does Odeo do it? (Download Squad)

Oct 5th 2005 10:03AM The slow down effect is easing. In the site point article above, it should be easy enough to implement by moving our calculation from the line: ss_stepsize = parseInt((desty-cypos)/ss_STEPS) to just inside the interval function ss_scrollWindow with something like: scramount = parseInt((desty-cypos) * .5) Of course ensuring that the variables are all in scope. Essentially, you want to take a portion of the remaining distance as your distance to move that step. In that example, we're going 50% of the remaining distance (of course, you could also use / 2 instead of * .5 but I think the multiplication is clearer for the percentage amount personally). If you wanted to get fancy, you could use Hookes law to add elasticity, so it would spring around the link. var speed = 2 var viscosity = 1.5 var mydiff = desty - cypos scramount = (scramount + mydiff / speed) / viscosity That would also go inside the interval function. The speed and viscosity variables there would result in a pretty spongy feel - you would probably want something much tighter in practice. Also, scramount would need to be defined outside of the function, since it will need to use the previously calculated value in adjusting the value.
