Hi!
I've added a piece of custom HTML code to the homepage of my site to run an animated typewriter effect on my H1 title.
It works perfectly, but I'm having a slight issue with it on mobile devices. Because of the sizing of the screen and the H1 title words, the animation runs onto a second line every now and then, meaning the whole page content shifts down and back up again during the animation - which makes it a bit tricky to read the page on mobile!
Is there a piece of code I could add to the HTML to either stop it running at all on mobile or reduce the size of the H1 on mobile so that it can animate on a single line?
The code currently is:
<div class="container">
<h1>
<span class="txt-type" data-wait="3000" data-words='["creative", "ingenious", "magical", "SEO-ed"]'></span>
copywriting
</h1>
</div>
<style>
/* CSS RESET */
/* ALIGN CONTENT */
.container {
display: flex;
/* Remove horizontal 'justify-content' center if you want the base text not to move */
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
/* ADD CURSOR */
.txt-type > .txt {
border-right: 0.08rem solid #fff;
padding-right: 2px;
/* Animating the cursor */
animation: blink 0.6s infinite;
}
/* ANIMATION */
@keyframes blink {
0% {
border-right: 0.08rem solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
}
100% {
border-right: 0.08rem solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2);
}
}
#page .section-background {background: white;}
#page section * {color: black !important;}
#page .content {
width: 100%;
}
</style>
<script>
class TypeWriter {
constructor(txtElement, words, wait = 2000) {
this.txtElement = txtElement;
this.words = words;
this.txt = "";
this.wordIndex = 0;
this.wait = parseInt(wait, 5);
this.type();
this.isDeleting = false;
}
type() {
// Current index of word
const current = this.wordIndex % this.words.length;
// Get full text of current word
const fullTxt = this.words[current];
// Check if deleting
if (this.isDeleting) {
// Remove characters
this.txt = fullTxt.substring(0, this.txt.length - 1);
} else {
// Add charaters
this.txt = fullTxt.substring(0, this.txt.length + 1);
}
// Insert txt into element
this.txtElement.innerHTML = `<span class="txt">${this.txt}</span>`;
// Initial Type Speed
let typeSpeed = 60;
if (this.isDeleting) {
// Increase speed by half when deleting
typeSpeed /= 2;
}
// If word is complete
if (!this.isDeleting && this.txt === fullTxt) {
// Make pause at end
typeSpeed = this.wait;
// Set delete to true
this.isDeleting = true;
} else if (this.isDeleting && this.txt === "") {
this.isDeleting = false;
// Move to next word
this.wordIndex++;
// Pause before start typing
typeSpeed = 500;
}
setTimeout(() => this.type(), typeSpeed);
}
}
// Init On DOM Load
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", init);
// Init App

const txtElement = document.querySelector(".txt-type");
const words = JSON.parse(txtElement.getAttribute("data-words"));
const wait = txtElement.getAttribute("data-wait");
// Init TypeWriter
new TypeWriter(txtElement, words, wait);
