I have a function that craeates divs with a circle.
Now they are all created and appear at the beginning of the page and go further in order.
Next, I need each circle to appear in a random place. I did this but there is only one problem.
When the circle appears on the edge of the page, it expands and scrolling appears
How can I limit this so that the circles don’t go off the edge of the page?
function createDiv(id, color) {
let div = document.createElement('div');
var currentTop = 0;
var documentHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
var documentWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
div.setAttribute('class', id);
if (color === undefined) {
let colors = ['#35def2', '#35f242', '#b2f235', '#f2ad35', '#f24735', '#3554f2', '#8535f2', '#eb35f2', '#f2359b', '#f23547'];
div.style.backgroundColor = colors[Math.floor(Math.random() * colors.length)];
}
else {
div.style.backgroundColor = color;
}
div.classList.add("circle");
div.classList.add("animation");
currentTop = Math.floor(Math.random() * documentHeight) + 1;
currentLeft = Math.floor(Math.random() * documentWidth) + 1;
div.style.top = currentTop + "px";
div.style.left = currentLeft + "px";
document.body.appendChild(div);
}
let i = 0;
const oneSecond = 1000;
setInterval(() => {
i += 1;
createDiv(`circle${i}`)
}, oneSecond);.circle {
clip-path: circle(50%);
height: 40px;
width: 40px;
margin: 20px;
position: absolute;
}>Solution :
I think it comes from 2 things :
- The height and width of the circle are not compensated when you get the random positions
- The 20px margin should be compensated too
See here my version, if you have some questions I’ll try to be more clear 🙂
var widthHeight = 40; // <-- circle width
var margin = 20; // <-- margin - is it necessary ?
var delta = widthHeight + margin;
function createDiv(id, color) {
let div = document.createElement('div');
var currentTop = 0;
var documentHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
var documentWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
div.setAttribute('class', id);
if (color === undefined) {
let colors = ['#35def2', '#35f242', '#b2f235', '#f2ad35', '#f24735', '#3554f2', '#8535f2', '#eb35f2', '#f2359b', '#f23547'];
div.style.backgroundColor = colors[Math.floor(Math.random() * colors.length)];
}
else {
div.style.backgroundColor = color;
}
div.classList.add("circle");
div.classList.add("animation");
// Get the random positions minus the delta
currentTop = Math.floor(Math.random() * documentHeight) - delta;
currentLeft = Math.floor(Math.random() * documentWidth) - delta;
// Keep the positions between -20px and the current positions
var limitedTop = Math.max(margin * -1, currentTop);
var limitedLeft = Math.max(margin * -1, currentLeft);
div.style.top = limitedTop + "px";
div.style.left = limitedLeft + "px";
document.body.appendChild(div);
}
let i = 0;
const oneSecond = 1000;
setInterval(() => {
i += 1;
createDiv(`circle${i}`)
}, oneSecond);.circle {
clip-path: circle(50%);
height: 40px;
width: 40px;
margin: 20px;
position: absolute;
}
