Answer 1

In a previous question I created a fairly good parallax scrolling implementation. Jquery Parallax Scrolling effect - Multi directional You might find it useful.

Here's the JSFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/9R4hZ/40/ use the up/down arrows or scroll wheel.

Using padding and margin for the positioning are probably why you're experiencing rendering issues. While my code uses scroll or keyboard input for the effect you can loop the relavent portion and check the $moving variable until you reach the desired element on screen.

function parallaxScroll(scroll) {
    // current moving object
    var ml = $moving.position().left;
    var mt = $moving.position().top;
    var mw = $moving.width();
    var mh = $moving.height();
    // calc velocity
    var fromTop = false;
    var fromBottom = false;
    var fromLeft = false;
    var fromRight = false;
    var vLeft = 0;
    var vTop = 0;
    if($moving.hasClass('from-top')) {
        vTop = scroll;
        fromTop = true;
    } else if($moving.hasClass('from-bottom')) {
        vTop = -scroll;
        fromBottom = true;
    } else if($moving.hasClass('from-left')) {
        vLeft = scroll;
        fromLeft = true;
    } else if($moving.hasClass('from-right')) {
        vLeft = -scroll;
        fromRight = true;
    }
    // calc new position
    var newLeft = ml + vLeft;
    var newTop = mt + vTop;
    // check bounds
    var finished = false;
    if(fromTop && (newTop > t || newTop + mh < t)) {
        finished = true;
        newTop = (scroll > 0 ? t : t - mh);
    } else if(fromBottom && (newTop < t || newTop > h)) {
        finished = true;
        newTop = (scroll > 0 ? t : t + h);
    } else if(fromLeft && (newLeft > l || newLeft + mw < l)) {
        finished = true;
        newLeft = (scroll > 0 ? l : l - mw);
    } else if(fromRight && (newLeft < l || newLeft > w)) {
        finished = true;
        newLeft = (scroll > 0 ? l : l + w);
    }
    // set new position
    $moving.css('left', newLeft);
    $moving.css('top', newTop);
    // if finished change moving object
    if(finished) {
        // get the next moving
        if(scroll > 0) {
            $moving = $moving.next('.parallax');
            if($moving.length == 0)
                $moving = $view.find('.parallax:last');
        } else {
            $moving = $moving.prev('.parallax');
            if($moving.length == 0)
                $moving = $view.find('.parallax:first');
        }
    }
    // for debug
    $('#direction').text(scroll + " " + l + "/" + t + " " + ml + "/" + mt + " " + finished + " " + $moving.text());
}
