Vanilla JavaScript Parallax with just a Few Lines of Code

Sub up! To answer today's question: My head isn't bigger than an airplane, but if I don't take control of myself tonight and drinking for new year's eve, my head might be as high as an airplane!

Wouldn't it be better to query-select the targets outside of the event-listener function?

Don't call yourself an idiot. You saw the mistake and fixed it. nobody truly cares whether you are an idiot or not, they are too focused on their own issues.

What a great tutorial! Thank you for sharing!

Mine's pink.

Thank you! If I were roughly 7 miles away from a commercial jet, my head would appear the same size as the airplane.

The physical size of my head no
but the actual size of my intelligence cannot be measured


...hmmm I think it's too small to measure

nah ion think my head as big as an airplane i think its like the size of a small mellon

my head is bigger than my brain - thanks for a great toturial

Depends on the z-index and transform functions you chose!

Thanks you, for this video it was just what I was looking for

Best tutorial for parallax scrolling out there. Well done.

The scroll is endless

How to limit the scroll? it has endless scroll

Just a few lines of Code. Ha ha. When does it stop?

Well I have an Airplane made from a Kit I got from my Sister-in-law in Chiclayo, in Peru, and actually my head is bigger than that Airplane. So there! What do you Girls think of that?

super useful thanks!

They are beautiful. Why wouldn't they be?

Your children are great and your content are very useful. Thanks!

My head is not as big as an airplane unfortunately! :D

how do you get time to learn and play electric guitars as a software engineer?

really cool tutorial ! :) but how do you activate the parallax effect on an element only when it is visible, because if the element is in the middle of a long page, it will have already started to scroll without so we can see it

lol I spelled parallax the same way when I was looking for a video on this.

yes

great tutorial but this is not a parallax

I had been browsing hours to find good tutorial and this is the best one, you saved my day, thank you!

haha cute daugthers with kittens!

Thanks from korea 😁😁

Gary did not mention about the scroll bar problem due to the continuous scrolling down <li>lax</li>. You would be unable to scroll to the end of the web page. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

AWESOME! Thanks man

So cool! I learn so much from you!)
In this particular case thought, I have a few suggestions:
- It's the ideal case to use position fixed on the circle
- It's easier to use percents as transition values since we can access viewport height on window as innerHeight
const parallax = `${(window.pageYOffset / window.innerHeight) * 100 * 5}%`;

Thx for a tut that's to-the-point, with end state codepen provided, great pace. Will definitely check out your site.

.head-of-mine {
width:auto;
height:auto;
}
.body-of-mine{
width:100%;
height:100%;
}

Ya I am a big head

any of those parallaxes work fine with mousewheel jumps?

Hey! How can I apply this to an image? What I'm trying to do is to make an image bigger inside a rectangular div so that when I scroll the image inside gets pushed down a little like in the video but not the div. Because the image would be bigger than the div, the image would be coming down but we would not see any white space increasing! Please! This is the best parallax tutorial I've watched since I started to make that effect like 3-4 hours ago.

Also, the mentioned image is small, all the tutorials show always an image that covers the entire width of the page or something like that. My image is just on the left side of a paragraph. The size of the div parent is "245px X 245px".

Some examples of that effect are seen on the Soundcloud app where the covers have a parallax effect.

Thanks for the great video!
It works perfectly on PCs but for some reason, it doesn't work on phones. Any suggestions on fixing that??

a very small airplane

Simple example. Easy to understend. Thanks!!

That was truly amazing

Awesome thank you

Thank u gud sir

Answer for today's question: I don't think my head is so big. But I know one man whose head is exactly as described vertically.

has there been any updates in css or javascript? I am following word for word but the parallax effect is not working.

it is medically impossible for a persons head to be as large as an airplane

Thanks a lot for this video! It has helped me in a real project.
