Looking for a good JavaScript to help me hide/show multiple divs with a button click not an a href click so I can use it in blogger. I\'ve been looking for an answer for a w
We can easily add an unlimited amount of buttons using reusable code.
here is a full example! Enjoy
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
.generalclass {
width: 100%;
color: #ffffff;
text-align: center;
background-color: #000000;
margin: 10px;
padding: 10px;
display: none;
}
.button{
background: red;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 5px;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 16px;
border: none;
}
.button:hover{
background: black;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<button class="button" onclick="myFunction('button1')">Button 1</button>
<button class="button" onclick="myFunction('button2')">Button 2</button>
<div id="button1" class="generalclass">
<p>I can show anything here</p>
</div>
<div id="button2" class="generalclass">
<p>I can show anything here too and different from button 1</p>
</div>
<script>
function myFunction(divid) {
var x = document.getElementById(divid);
if (x.style.display == "none")
{
x.style.display = "block";
}
else {
x.style.display = "none";
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
I found the answer to what I wanted with the .toggle function thanks for the help. The answer I found here: radomsnippets.com
I would suggest to separate your code first - it would be then more clean and reusable - like myStyle.css, myScript.js, index.html
Add the css
and js
file in the html
file like -
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="myStyle.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="myScript.js"></script>
src
-> indicates the source path of the file. Here I assume that all our css
, js
, 'html' file in same place.
var divs = ["Div1", "Div2", "Div3", "Div4"];
var visibleDivId = null;
function divVisibility(divId) {
if(visibleDivId === divId) {
visibleDivId = null;
} else {
visibleDivId = divId;
}
hideNonVisibleDivs();
}
function hideNonVisibleDivs() {
var i, divId, div;
for(i = 0; i < divs.length; i++) {
divId = divs[i];
div = document.getElementById(divId);
if(visibleDivId === divId) {
div.style.display = "block";
} else {
div.style.display = "none";
}
}
}
.buttons a {
font-size: 16px;
}
.buttons a:hover {
cursor:pointer;
font-size: 16px;
}
<div class="main_div">
<div class="buttons">
<a href="#" onclick="divVisibility('Div1');">Div1</a> |
<a href="#" onclick="divVisibility('Div2');">Div2</a> |
<a href="#" onclick="divVisibility('Div3');">Div3</a> |
<a href="#" onclick="divVisibility('Div4');">Div4</a>
</div>
<div class="inner_div">
<div id="Div1">I'm Div One</div>
<div id="Div2" style="display: none;">I'm Div Two</div>
<div id="Div3" style="display: none;">I'm Div Three</div>
<div id="Div4" style="display: none;">I'm Div Four</div>
</div>
</div>
if you want to hide/show all divs simultaneously than you have to give all divs same class for ex: .toggle and than you can do this:
function myFunction1(){
$(".toggle").slideToggle();
}
if you want to hide/show one div at a time than you can do this with id :
function myFunction1(){
$("#myDIV1").slideToggle();
}
with different buttons :
function myFunction1(id){
$("#"+id).slideToggle();
}
pass id here :
<button onclick="myFunction1('myDIV1')">One</button>
<button onclick="myFunction1('myDIV2')">Two</button>
<button onclick="myFunction1('myDIV3')">Three</button>
<button onclick="myFunction1('myDIV4')">Four</button>
