The scrollbar remains unresponsive and fixed until the screen size is adjusted

Need some assistance with a website project for a client. The scrollbars on each page are not loading or changing height until the window is resized. I have a jQuery scrollbar in place, but disabling it does not solve the issue as the normal scrollbar behaves the same way. The content is within a child div of the scrolling div, but the height of the content div remains static even when the content changes. Trying to turn the code from $(window).resize into its own function has not been successful.

It's quite frustrating and annoying to deal with this.

EDIT: Added the complete JS code with edits as advised by Max Dunn, but the issue persists.

        //--details
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $("#info").show();
        });
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $('#elephant').click(function() {
                if ($('#info').css('display') == "none")
                    $('#info').fadeIn('slow'),
                    $('#stay').hide();
                    $('#todo').hide();
                    $('#nav').hide();
                    $('#gifts').hide();
                    $('#contact').hide();
                    $('#photos').hide();
                    $('#welcome').hide();
                    $("#bubblecontent").show();
                    resizeBubble();
            });
        });
        ... // rest of the JS code follows

    body {
        overflow-y: hidden;
        overflow-x: hidden;
        font-family: "museo-slab", georgia, serif;
        font-weight: 100;
        height: 100%;
    }
    #container {
        margin-left: auto;
        margin-right: auto;
    }
    #bubble {
        background-color: #f5fec3;
        height: 100%;
        width: 900px;
        margin-left: auto;
        margin-right: auto;
        border-radius: 15px;
        -moz-border-radius: 15px;
        overflow-y: auto;
    }
    #bubblecontent {
        width: 860px;
        margin-left: auto;
        margin-right: auto;
        overflow-y: auto;
    }

<div id="container">
  <div id="bubble">
    <div id="bubblecontent">
      <div id="contentdiv1">
        blah
      </div>

      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Answer №1

Keeping my original response for the benefit of others facing a similar issue, I took a deeper look at the provided javascript code and made significant improvements by revising the code structure. The key modification involved utilizing the mCustomScrollbar("update") function upon content alterations:

<script type="text/javascript">
  // Page loading
  $(window).load(function () {
    $('#loading').fadeOut('fast');
  });

  $(document).ready(function () {
    // Preloading images
    loadImage1 = new Image();
    loadImage1.src = "http://static.tumblr.com/spps9en/JN3m8jui6/elephanthover.png";
    staticImage1 = new Image();
    staticImage1.src = "http://static.tumblr.com/spps9en/j7Fm8jufs/elephant.png";

    // Additional image preloading here

    function resizeBubble() {
      var divHeight = $(document).height() - 300;
      $('#bubble').css({height: divHeight});
    };

    $(window).resize(function () {
      resizeBubble();
    });

   // More functionality added below...

</script>

Answer №2

Start by converting the code for resizing into a separate function:

function adjustSize() {
  var windowHeight = $(window).height() - 300;
  $('#bubble').css({height: windowHeight});
};

Next, make sure to invoke this function after revealing the initial hidden div.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#info").show;
  adjustSize();
};

This step is important because you can't predict the order in which $(document).ready will execute, and it may happen before any divs are displayed.

Don't forget to include the call to adjustSize() at the end of each click event function and whenever $(window).resize occurs.
