Facebook style notification using jquery

By: Prem Tiwari | Last Updated: December 7, 2016 | In: Facebook, Javascript & Ajax

In this post i will describe the facebook style notification, that looks nice cross browser seems tricky.

For example, different browsers seem to treat paddings differently, resulting in weird looking notifications. I have used HTML, CSS and Jquery for Facebook Notification application.

Html Code

<body>

<a style="float:right;margin:20px 50px 0 0;" href="https://freewebmentor.com/2014/05/facebook-style-notification-using-jquery.html"><h2>Tutorial Link for facebook beeper - The activity notifier</h2></a>

</div>

<h1>Live Demo | facebook like notification using jQuery and CSS</h1>

<h4>In Facebook style notification there is a update entry in the updates table, it triggers the alert notification plugin using jQuery. In our case we will trigger it manually. Click on Get Notification Button bellow.</h4>

</div>

<a href="#" class="notify" id="notify">Get Notification</a>

</div>

</body>

Jquery Code

jQuery(document).ready(function($){

Beeper = $('#beeperContainer')

Beeper.setBeeper()

$('.notify').click(function(){

Beeper.callBeeper('<div id="NotificationBox" class="UINotification"><div class="UINotification_Full"><div class="Notis"><div class="UINoti UINoti_Top UINoti_Bottom UINoti_Selected" style="opacity: 1; "><a class="UINoti_NonIntentional" href="#"><div class="UINoti_Icon"><i class="Notification_icon image2"></i></div><span class="Notification_x"> </span><div class="UINoti_Title"><span class="NotiContent">Ipsita Sahoo</span> added a new photo to the album <span class="NotiContent">Chilling Out</span>.</div></a></div></div></div></div>');

return false;

});

(function($){

$.fn.setBeeper = function( time ){

var el = $(this)

time = (time===undefined) ? 5000 : time;

el .data('hover',false)

.data('time',time)

.find('div')

.live('mouseover',function(){

el.data('hover',true)

$(this).show()

clearTimeout( $(this).data('timeout') )

}).live('mouseout', function(){

el.data('hover',false)

var a = setTimeout(function(){

$(this).animate({'opacity':'hide','height':'hide'},'fast',

function(){

el.find('div:hidden').remove()

})

},el.data('time'))

$(this).data('timeout',a)

})

el.find('span.Notification_x').live('click',function(e){

$(e.target).parent().parent().parent().parent().remove()

return false

})

return el

}

$.fn.callBeeper = function callBeeper(msg){

var el = $(this)

msg = (typeof msg != 'object') ? new Array(msg) : msg;

$.each(msg,function(i,m){

el.prepend('<div>'+m+'</div>')

.find('div:first').css({'position':'relative','display':'none'})

.animate({'opacity':'show','height':'show'},'slow')

var a = setTimeout(function(){

if(!el.data('hover'))

el.find('div:first').animate({'opacity':'hide','height':'hide'},'fast',

function(){

el.find('div:hidden').remove()

})

},el.data('time'))

$(this).data('timeout',a)

})

return el

}

})(jQuery);

</script>
