jQuery Bounce Effect on click no jQuery UI

Question

I cannot find a solution to an animation to make a div bounce, using just jQuery animations. Something like does not work:

$("#bounce").click(function() {
    $(this).effect("bounce", {
        times: 3
    }, 300);
});.​

I would prefer not to use jQuery UI or any external plugin, such as the easing one. A wobble effect would be just as good in my case, so either will do.

Here is an example , any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You could simply chain together some animate calls on the element like so:

$("#bounce").click(function() {
    doBounce($(this), 3, '10px', 300);   
});


function doBounce(element, times, distance, speed) {
    for(var i = 0; i < times; i++) {
        element.animate({marginTop: '-='+distance}, speed)
            .animate({marginTop: '+='+distance}, speed);
    }        
}

Use this function for damped bounces. Be sure to give the bouncing element a unique class if using the code without changes.

 var getAttention = function(elementClass,initialDistance, times, damping) { for(var i=1; i<=times; i++){ var an = Math.pow(-1,i)*initialDistance/(i*damping); $('.'+elementClass).animate({'top':an},100); } $('.'+elementClass).animate({'top':0},100); } $( "#bounce").click(function() { getAttention("bounce", 50, 10, 1.2); });

 #bounce { height:50px; width:50px; background:#f00; margin-top:50px; position:relative; border-radius: 50px; }

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <div id="bounce" class="bounce"></div>

Answer 3

I use this simple plugin, jQuery-Shake , to shake or bounce an element without jQuery-UI.

$('#elementToBounce').shake({direction: up, distance:10, speed: 75, times: 3})

Answer 4

For a vertical bounce you can try something like this:

function bounce(element, distance, speed){
 var bounce_margin_top = $(element).css("margin-top")
 $(element).css("margin-top", "-="+distance)

 $(element).show().fadeIn(200).animate({
    "margin-top": bounce_margin_top
 }, {
     duration: speed,
     easing:   "easeOutBounce"
 })
}

Answer 5

I usually use jQuery animate. For your specific question, it could look like this:

The HTML:

<div id="bounce"></div>

The CSS:

#bounce {
height:50px;
width:50px;
background:#333;
margin-top:50px;
position:relative;
}

And finally, the jQuery:

$( "#bounce" ).click(function() {
for (var i=1; i<=3; i++) {
$(this).animate({top: 30},"slow");
$(this).animate({top: 0},"slow");
     }
});

Combining different answers, this is what worked for me after click

let el = $('.bounce-me');
for (var i = 1; i <= 2; i++) {
  el.animate({ 'margin-top': 15 }, 'fast').animate(
    { 'margin-top': -15 },
    'fast'
  );
}
el.animate({ 'margin-top': 0 }, 'fast');
