Use javascript, jquery, css to implement waterfall flow layout:

Method 1: Use JavaScript:

<title> Waterfall flow layout </title>
<style>
*{padding:0;margin:0;}
.clearfix:after,
.clearfix:before {

display: table;
}
.clearfix:after {
clear: both;
}
.main {
position: relative;
-webkit-column-width: 210px;
-moz-column-width: 210px;
-webkit-column-gap: 5px;
-moz-column-gap: 5px;
}
.box {
float: left;
padding: 15px 0 0 15px;
}
.box .pic {
width: 180px;
height: auto;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 5px;
box-shadow: 0 0 5px #cccccc;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
}
.box .pic img {
display: block;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>

<script>
window.onload = function(){
waterfall('main','box');
// Simulation json Data 
var dataJson = {'data': [{'src':'30.jpg'},{'src':'31.jpg'},{'src':'32.jpg'},{'src':'33.jpg'},{'src':'34.jpg'},{'src':'35.jpg'},{'src':'36.jpg'},{'src':'37.jpg'},{'src':'38.jpg'},{'src':'39.jpg'},{'src':'40.jpg'},{'src':'41.jpg'},{'src':'42.jpg'},{'src':'43.jpg'},{'src':'44.jpg'},{'src':'45.jpg'}]};
// Eavesdropping scroll Events 
window.onscroll = function(){
var isPosting = false;
if(checkScollSlide('main','box') && !isPosting){
var oParent = document.getElementById('main');
for(var i in dataJson.data){
isPosting = true;
var oBox = document.createElement('div');
oBox.className = 'box';
oBox.innerHTML = '<div class="pic"><img src="./images/'+dataJson.data[i].src+'"></div>';
oParent.appendChild(oBox);
}
isPosting = false;
waterfall('main','box');
}
}
}
/*
* parent  Parent element id clsName  Block element class */
function waterfall(parent,clsName){
// Get the parent element 
var oParent = document.getElementById(parent),
// Get all box
aBoxArr = oParent.getElementsByClassName(clsName),
// Single box Width 
iBoxW = aBoxArr[0].offsetWidth,
//  Number of columns 
cols = Math.floor(document.documentElement.clientWidth / iBoxW);
oParent.style.cssText = 'width:'+iBoxW*cols+'px;margin:0 auto;';
// Store all heights 
var hArr = [];
for(var i = 0; i < aBoxArr.length; i++){
if(i < cols){
hArr[i] = aBoxArr[i].offsetHeight;
}else{
// Get hArr Minimum value 
var minH = Math.min.apply(null,hArr),
// hArr Minimum value index index
minHIndex = getMinHIndex(hArr,minH);

}
</script>

</html>

Mode 2: Use jquery: (html structure is the same as css)


$( window ).on( "load", function(){
 waterfall('main','box');
 // Analog data json
 var dataJson = {'data': [{'src':'30.jpg'},{'src':'31.jpg'},{'src':'32.jpg'},{'src':'33.jpg'},{'src':'34.jpg'},{'src':'35.jpg'},{'src':'36.jpg'},{'src':'37.jpg'},{'src':'38.jpg'},{'src':'39.jpg'},{'src':'40.jpg'},{'src':'41.jpg'},{'src':'42.jpg'},{'src':'43.jpg'},{'src':'44.jpg'},{'src':'45.jpg'}]};
 window.onscroll=function(){
 var isPosting = false;
 if(checkscrollside('main','box') && !isPosting){
  isPosting = true;
  $.each(dataJson.data,function(index,dom){
  var $box = $('<div class="box"></div>');
  $box.html('<div class="pic"><img src="./images/'+$(dom).attr('src')+'"></div>');
  $('#main').append($box);
  waterfall('main','box');
  isPosting = false;
  });
 }
 }
});
/*
 parend  Parent id
 clsName  Element class
 */
function waterfall(parent,clsName){
 var $parent = $('#'+parent);// Parent element 
 var $boxs = $parent.find('.'+clsName);// All box Element 
 var iPinW = $boxs.eq( 0 ).width()+15;// 1 Block box box Width of 
 var cols = Math.floor( $( window ).width() / iPinW );// Number of columns 
 $parent.width(iPinW * cols).css({'margin': '0 auto'});
 var pinHArr=[];// Used for storage   The height of all block boxes in each column. 
 $boxs.each( function( index, dom){
 if( index < cols ){
  pinHArr[ index ] = $(dom).height(); // Heights of all columns 
 }else{
  var minH = Math.min.apply( null, pinHArr );// Array pinHArr The minimum value in minH
  var minHIndex = $.inArray( minH, pinHArr );
  $(dom).css({
  'position': 'absolute',
  'top': minH + 15,
  'left': $boxs.eq( minHIndex ).position().left
  });
  // Modify after adding elements pinHArr
  pinHArr[ minHIndex ] += $(dom).height() + 15;// Update column height after adding block box 
 }
 });
}
// Check whether the loading data condition is met, that is, trigger the add block box function waterfall() Height: Last 1 The distance between the block box and the top of the web page + Self-high 1 Half ( Implementation starts loading before rolling through )
function checkscrollside(parent,clsName){
 // Finally 1 Block box 
 var $lastBox = $('#'+parent).find('.'+clsName).last(),
 lastBoxH = $lastBox.offset().top + $lastBox.height()/ 2,
 scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop(),
 documentH = $(document).height();
 return lastBoxH < scrollTop + documentH ? true : false;
}

The third way: use css: (html structure is the same as above)


.clearfix:after,
.clearfix:before {
 content: " ";
 display: table;
}
.clearfix:after {
 clear: both;
}
.main {
 position: relative;
 [color=#ff0000]-webkit-column-width: 210px;
 -moz-column-width: 210px;
 -webkit-column-gap: 5px;
 -moz-column-gap: 5px;[/color]
}
.box {
 float: left;
 padding: 15px 0 0 15px;
}
.box .pic {
 width: 180px;
 height: auto;
 padding: 10px;
 border-radius: 5px;
 box-shadow: 0 0 5px #cccccc;
 border: 1px solid #cccccc;
}
.box .pic img {
 display: block;
 width: 100%;
}

Comparison of waterfall flow implementation methods;

Javascript native mode/jquery mode

1. Need to calculate, the number of columns = browser window width/picture width, and the picture positioning is to calculate the position of the picture according to the height of each column;

2. The picture sorting is arranged horizontally according to the calculated position of the picture, and the position is calculated, which is relatively standard

Css mode

1. No calculation is needed, the browser automatically calculates, only the column width needs to be set, and the performance is high;

2. The column width changes with the browser window size, and the user experience is not good;

3. The pictures are sorted in vertical order, disrupting the display order of pictures;

4. Picture loading still depends on javascript/jquery
