I am adapting the Coverflow technique to work with a div. Following is the html:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
body,html {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: #000;
height: 100%;

}
div.magnifyme {
height: 80px;
padding: 80px;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 2000px;
}
div.wrapper {
margin: 0px;
height: 470px;
/*border: 2px solid #999;*/
overflow: hidden;
padding-left: 40px;
right: 1px;
width: 824px;
position: relative;
}
div.container {position: relative; width: 854px; height: 480px; background: #000; margin: auto;}
div.nav {position: absolute; top: 10px; width: 20%; height: 10%; right: 1px; }

The coverflow function (included as a js file in the head section) is here. When I click the button, I was expecting it to add a DIV to the already present deck. For some reason, it doesn't show the newly added DIV. I tried calling the coverflow() function after I added the new element but that didn't work either. The modified coverflow function is given here:
;(function($){
$.widget("ui.coverflow", {
init: function() {
var self = this;
this.items = $(this.options.items, this.element).bind("click", function() {
self.moveTo(this);
//$("div.slider").slider("moveTo", self.current, null, true);
});
this.itemWidth = this.items.outerWidth(true);
this.current = 0; //Start item
this.refresh(1, 0, this.current);
this.element.css("left",
(-this.current * this.itemWidth/2)
+ (this.element.parent()[0].offsetWidth/2 - this.itemWidth/2) //Center the items container
- (parseInt(this.element.css("paddingLeft")) || 0) //Subtract the padding of the items container
);
},
moveTo: function(item) {
this.previous = this.current;
this.current = !isNaN(parseInt(item)) ? parseInt(item) : this.items.index(item);
if(this.previous == this.current) return false; //Don't animate when clicking on the same item
var self = this, to = Math.abs(self.previous-self.current) <=1 ? self.previous : self.current+(self.previous < self.current ? -1 : 1);
$.fx.step.coverflow = function(fx) {
self.refresh(fx.now, to, self.current);
};
this.element.stop().animate({
coverflow: 1,
left: (
(-this.current * this.itemWidth/2)
+ (this.element.parent()[0].offsetWidth/2 - this.itemWidth/2) //Center the items container
- (parseInt(this.element.css("paddingLeft")) || 0) //Subtract the padding of the items container
)
}, {
duration: 1000,
easing: "easeOutQuint"
});
/*current = this.current;
$("[id^=div]").each(function() {
if(this.id != "div"+current) {
console.info(this.id + " Current: " + current);
$(this).fadeTo( 'slow', 0.1);
}
});*/
},
refresh: function(state,from,to) {
var self = this, offset = null;
this.items.each(function(i) {
var side = (i == to && from-to < 0 ) || i-to > 0 ? "left" : "right";
var mod = i == to ? (1-state) : ( i == from ? state : 1 );
var before = (i > from && i != to);
$(this).css({
webkitTransform: "matrix(1,"+(mod * (side == "right" ? -0.5 : 0.5))+",0,1,0,0) scale("+(1+((1-mod)*0.5))+")",
left: (
(-i * (self.itemWidth/2))
+ (side == "right"? -self.itemWidth/2 : self.itemWidth/2) * mod //For the space in the middle
),
zIndex: self.items.length + (side == "left" ? to-i : i-to)
});
if(!$.browser.msie)
$(this).css("opacity", 1 - Math.abs((side == "left" ? to-i : i-to))/2);
});
}
});
$.extend($.ui.coverflow, {
defaults: {
items: "> *"
}
});
})(jQuery);
One thing I did notice is that after clicking the button for about 5-10 times, the elements show up but not along with the already present divs but rather below them. I am guessing that this has something to do with the CSS of the magnifyme class (2000px), but I am not sure what it is. Is there any way I can make this work?

Reset to default 4You need to write an additional function for the coverflow widget:
add: function(el) {
var self = this;
this.element.append(el)
this.options.items = $('> *', this.element);
this.items = $(this.options.items, this.element).bind("click", function() {
self.moveTo(this);
});
this.itemWidth = this.items.outerWidth(true);
this.moveTo(this.items.length-1);
},
and then call it like so:
$("#add").click(function() {
$("div.magnifyme").coverflow('add', "<div></div>");
});
First, you need to add a references to the jQuery UI core, and it also appears that it requires the jQuery slider plugin.
Second, in your click event you're doing a location.reload, which is refreshing the page from the server, resetting any changes you had made to the page. (if you make the DIVs much smaller you can see one flash in before the page is reloaded).
You are getting a js error on the page -- "$.widget is not a function" because you didn't include the jqueryUI library. http://jqueryui./
Also if you remove the location.reload line, your code will work, however, I would rewrite that script block like this, so that everything clearly runs when the document is ready:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("div.magnifyme").coverflow();
$("#add").click(function() {
$(".magnifyme").append("<div id=\"div5\">hello world</div>");
$("div.magnifyme").coverflow();
});
});
</script>
