Question

I made this tiny video (please ignore if background noises)

http://www.screenr.com/Qvts

its 13 seconds but only need to see the animation going on in second 5; (or go keepyourlinks.com and wait few seconds untill you can se the same box and click)

The css -the item has both clases-

.keepeos .top {
    border-radius: 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em;
    color: #000066;
    font-size: 40px;
    height: 120%;
    padding-bottom: 3px;
    padding-top: 3px;
    position: relative;
    right: 10%;
    top: -4px;
    width: 120%;
}

.caja_con_sombra {
    box-shadow: 0 0 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9);
}

And the javascript (posted the full script but commented on the only, in my opinion, relevant line.

    <script type="text/javascript">


    var variable;
        function check_more(id){

        var nID=$(".item_lista_links:first").attr("id"); //get the newest item's id
        var tid= nID.replace('link', '');
        $('#are_more').load('/includes/router.php?que=check_more&last='+tid+''); // check if newer
        }
          function buscar_nuevos(){
           var nID=$(".item_lista_links:first").attr("id");
           var id= nID.replace('link', '');
           variable = setInterval('check_more('+id+')',15000); //start checking
        }
        function ver_nuevos(id){  // when found news and retrieving 
           clearInterval(variable);  
            $('#are_more').html('');        //clear div


            /*THIS is basically the only relevant javascript line, i think */
            $('#load_more').slideUp(100).load('/includes/router.php?que=load_more&last='+id+'', 


function() {


    variable = setInterval("check_more(139125)",15000);
              $(this).slideDown(600); //start checking
                return false;
             });
        }
    </script>

So how can i prevent this shadow to expand the whole vertical animation?

Answer 1

I’m still not exactly sure what’s going on, but I know how to fix it (at least for now). It might be due to the element sliding in mixed with a height issue in jquery for elements that are children in the sliding element, but I’m not sure. Either way:

Knowing that, here is a fix. In estilo.css , find

.keepeos {
    height: auto;
}

Change that to:

.keepeos {
    height: 18px;
}

This will work against you if that ever becomes multi-lined, so if you need to in the future, maybe you can switch the tag while sliding and then switch it back when it’s done.
