So I have been working on a dropdown menu to select a language. Thats the code:
HTML
<div class="language_section">
<span id="select-lang-btn"><img class="language_flag" src="en.svg"><a id="selected-lang">English</a></span>
<ul class="language_dropdown" id="language_dropdown">
<li onclick="show('English')"><img class="language_flag" src="en.svg">English</li>
<li onclick="show('Germany')"><img class="language_flag" src="de.svg">German</li>
<li onclick="show('Spanish')"><img class="language_flag" src="es.svg">Spanish</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS
<style>
body {
background-color: #339699;
}
#select-lang-btn {
outline: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
.language_dropdown {
display: none;
align-items: center;
background-color: white;
width: 300px;
}
li {
cursor: pointer;
list-style: none;
}
.language_text {
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
}
.language_flag {
width: 32px;
}
</style>
JS
<script>
var button = document.getElementById('select-lang-btn');
button.onclick = function() {
var div = document.getElementById('language_dropdown');
if (div.style.display === 'block') {
div.style.display = 'none';
}
else {
div.style.display = 'block';
}
};
function show(anything) {
document.getElementById("selected-lang").innerHTML = anything
document.getElementById('language_dropdown').style.display = 'none';
}
</script>
However there is one problem with my code. When I select a new language, the selected language appears as a text, but the image does not change. That is because I created a function called show which only manages to change the text. Now I have been researching and thinking a lot but still didnt find a solution. Then I had an Idea if i could change the image by the innertext -> For Example if Germany is visible then the image automatically changes to Germanys Flag. But it seems like there is nothing about that methode online. Is that possible or is there a cleaner way to solve this issue?

I have This simple website that i need to make it change from light theme to dark theme, the light theme works fine, but the dark theme only changes its button properly because when i click in the button to change the "body" elements should change its class from "light-theme" to "dark-theme", instead it changes to "light-theme dark-theme"
here's HTML
`
<body class="light-theme">
<h1>Task List</h1>
<p id="msg">Current tasks:</p>
<ul>
<li class="list">Add visual styles</li>
<li class="list">add light and dark themes</li>
<li>Enable switching the theme</li>
</ul>
<div>
<button class="btn">Dark</button>
</div>
<script src="app.js"></script>
<noscript>You need to enable JavaScript to view the full site</noscript>
Heres CSS
:root {
--green: #00FF00;
--white: #FFFFFF;
--black: #000000;
}
.btn {
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
left: 250px;
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
border-radius: 50%;
border: none;
color: var(--btnFontColor);
background-color: var(--btnBg);
}
.btn:focus {
outline-style: none;
}
body {
background: var(--bg);
}
ul {
font-family: helvetica;
}
li {
list-style: circle;
}
.list {
list-style: square;
}
.light-theme {
--bg: var(--green);
--fontColor: var(--black);
--btnBg: var(--black);
--btnFontColor: var(--white);
}
.dark-theme{
--bg: var(--black);
--fontColor: var(--green);
--btnBg: var(--white);
--btnFontColor: var(--black);
}
and heres JavaScript
'use strict';
const switcher = document.querySelector('.btn');
switcher.addEventListener('click', function () {
document.body.classList.toggle('dark-theme')
var className = document.body.className;
if(className == "light-theme") {
this.textContent = "Dark";
} else {
this.textContent = "Light";
}
console.log('current class name: ' + className);
});
`
I tried to change some things in css but later found that the problem might be in the javascript, but my code is exactly as the code in my course is.
when i click in the button to change the "body" elements should change its class from "light-theme" to "dark-theme", instead it changes to "light-theme dark-theme"
That's indeed true - your JS code is only toggling the class "dark-theme" and does nothing with the "light-theme" class.
So a simple fix would be to toggle both classes:
switcher.addEventListener('click', function () {
document.body.classList.toggle('dark-theme')
document.body.classList.toggle('light-theme'); // add this line
var className = document.body.className;
if(className == "light-theme") {
this.textContent = "Dark";
} else {
this.textContent = "Light";
}
console.log('current class name: ' + className);
});
But you could simplify your code because you really don't need 2 classes here. If light theme is the default, just remove the light-theme class and all its CSS rules, and apply those to body instead. The .dark-theme rules will override these when the class is set, but not otherwise.
My goal is to have text change onmouseover from "hello" (without a link) to "Google" and provide an 'href' on the resulting "Google" text, and then revert to "hello" onmouseout without a link.
The code below works in changing the text from "hello" to "Google" but,
the link on "Google" does not work (even though I can right-click on "Google" and open the link on another tab)
the text does not change back to "hello" onmouseout.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Here is my code:
<style>
.container {
margin-top: 6vw;
margin-left: 40%;
margin-right: 40%;
}
</style>
<div class="container">
<h1>
<div class="hello" id="hello1" onmouseover="changeText()" onmouseout="changeText(this,'Hello.')">Hello.</div>
</h1>
</div>
<script>
function changeText() {
if (document.getElementById("hello1")) {
a = document.getElementById("hello1")
a.innerHTML = 'Google'
}
}
</script>
try this way onmouseout="this.innerHTML='Hello.';"
function changeText() {
if (document.getElementById("hello1")) {
a = document.getElementById("hello1")
a.innerHTML = 'Google'
}
}
.container {
margin-top: 6vw;
margin-left: 40%;
margin-right: 40%;
}
<div class="container">
<h1>
<div class="hello" id="hello1" onmouseover="changeText()" onmouseout="this.innerHTML='Hello.';">Hello.</div>
</h1>
</div>
By changing a class of a parent tag, any and all child tags can be affected via CSS. Having the HTML ready when the page loads and then hiding it is better than constantly creating and destroying HTML for trivial effects.
The events "mouseenter" and "mouselrave" are handled by a property event handler and an event listener. Either one is sufficient, but avoid using attribute event handlers:
<div onmouselame="lameAttributeEventHandler()">...</div>
Details are commented in the example below
// Reference the <header>
const hdr = document.querySelector('.title');
/* This is a property event handler
// Whenever the mouse enters within the borders of
// the <header>:
// '.google' class is added
// '.hello' class is removed
*/
hdr.onmouseenter = function(event) {
this.classList.add('google');
this.classList.remove('hello');
};
/* This is an even listener
// Whenever the mouse exits the <header> the
// opposite behavior of the previous handler
// happens
*/
hdr.addEventListener("mouseleave", function(event) {
this.classList.add('hello');
this.classList.remove('google');
});
.title {
height: 50px;
margin-top: 3vh;
border: 3px solid black;
text-align: center;
}
h1 {
margin: auto 0;
}
.hello span {
display: inline-block;
}
.hello a {
display: none;
}
.google a {
display: inline-block;
}
.google span {
display: none;
}
<header class="title hello">
<h1>
<span>Hello</span>
Google
</h1>
</header>
You can try this, May it help u to solve the problem
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<title>change text on mouse over and change back on mouse out
</title>
<style>
#box {
float: left;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-top: 20px;
padding: 15px;
border: 5px solid black;
}
</style>
</head>
<html>
<body>
<div id="box" onmouseover="changeText('Yes, this is Onmouseover Text')" onmouseout="changeback('any thing')" >
<div id="text-display" >
any thing
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeText(text)
{
var display = document.getElementById('text-display');
display.innerHTML = "";
display.innerHTML = text;
}
function changeback(text)
{
var display = document.getElementById('text-display');
display.innerHTML = "";
display.innerHTML = text;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Is there a more dynamic way to hide/show divs that are identical in structure with no identifiers?
Click to show
I'm some stuff
<div class="setup" onclick="show(1)">
Click to show
<p class="hidden">
I'm more stuff
</p>
</div>
function show(elem) {
var p = document.getElementsByClassName("hidden");
if (p[elem] != undefined) {
if (p[elem].style.display == "none") {
p[elem].style.display = "block";
} else {
p[elem].style.display = "none";
}
}
}
http://jsfiddle.net/ba7yfmz6/29/
Use this:
<div class="setup" onclick="show(this)">
JavaScript:
function show(elem) {
var paragraph = elem.querySelector(".hidden");
if (paragraph.style.display == "none") {
paragraph.style.display = "block";
} else {
paragraph.style.display = "none";
}
Hopefully this helps!
Yes, there is a way!
You can get all your elements, iterate them via forEach and assign your function to their onclick property:
document.querySelectorAll('.setup').forEach(div => {
div.onclick = showElem;
});
Doing this, you can get rid of the onlick on your HTML elements.
To get their child element (the one you want to hide / show, obviously), your show() function can look like this:
function show() {
const hidden = this.getElementsByClassName('hidden')[0];
if (hidden.style.display == 'none') {
hidden.style.display = 'block';
} else {
hidden.style.display = 'none';
}
}
And all together:
document.querySelectorAll('.setup').forEach(div => {
div.onclick = show;
});
function show() {
const hidden = this.getElementsByClassName('hidden')[0];
if (hidden.style.display == 'none') {
hidden.style.display = 'block';
} else {
hidden.style.display = 'none';
}
}
.setup {
border-top: solid #ccc 3px;
border-bottom: solid #ccc 3px;
margin-bottom: 5%;
}
.setup:hover {
cursor: pointer;
}
.hidden {
text-align: center;
font-weight: bold;
border-top: solid black 3px;
border-bottom: solid black 3px;
background-color: yellow;
display: none;
}
<div class="setup">
Click to show
<p class="hidden">
I'm some stuff
</p>
</div>
<div class="setup">
Click to show
<p class="hidden">
I'm more stuff
</p>
</div>
JS Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ba7yfmz6/38/
More info:
forEach
querySelectorAll()
You can use this.
Also, since the div doesn't have a style attribute, checking for style.display === 'none' would always be false on the first click; it would set the the style.display to none. Checking for the computed style would show the hidden element on first click.
function show(el) {
const toggle = el.querySelector('.hidden');
toggle.style.display = window.getComputedStyle(toggle).display === 'none' ? 'block' : 'none';
}
.setup {
border-top: solid #ccc 3px;
border-bottom: solid #ccc 3px;
margin-bottom: 5%;
}
.setup:hover {
cursor: pointer;
}
.hidden {
text-align: center;
font-weight: bold;
border-top: solid black 3px;
border-bottom: solid black 3px;
background-color: yellow;
display: none;
}
<div class="setup" onclick="show(this)">
Click to show
<p class="hidden">
I'm some stuff
</p>
</div>
<div class="setup" onclick="show(this)">
Click to show
<p class="hidden">
I'm more stuff
</p>
</div>
<div class="setup" onclick="show(this)">
Then the JavaScript:
function show(that) {
var hiddenElements = that.getElementsByClassName('hidden');
for (var i = 0; i < hiddenElements.length; i++) {
var style = hiddenElements[i].style;
style.display = style.display == "block" ? "none" : "block";
}
}
I am trying to show a description when hovering over an option in a select list, however, I am having trouble getting the code to recognize when hovering.
Relevant code:
Select chunk of form:
<select name="optionList" id="optionList" onclick="rankFeatures(false)" size="5"></select>
<select name="ranks" id="ranks" size="5"></select>
Manipulating selects (arrays defined earlier):
function rankFeatures(create) {
var $optionList = $("#optionList");
var $ranks = $("#ranks");
if(create == true) {
for(i=0; i<5; i++){
$optionList.append(features[i]);
};
}
else {
var index = $optionList.val();
$('#optionList option:selected').remove();
$ranks.append(features[index]);
};
}
This all works. It all falls apart when I try to deal with hovering over options:
$(document).ready(
function (event) {
$('select').hover(function(e) {
var $target = $(e.target);
if($target.is('option')) {
alert('yeah!');
};
})
})
I found that code while searching through Stack Exchange, yet I am having no luck getting it to work. The alert occurs when I click on an option. If I don't move the mouse and close the alert by hitting enter, it goes away. If I close out with the mouse a second alert window pops up. Just moving the mouse around the select occasionally results in an alert box popping up.
I have tried targeting the options directly, but have had little success with that. How do I get the alert to pop up if I hover over an option?
You can use the mouseenter event.
And you do not have to use all this code to check if the element is an option.
Just use the .on() syntax to delegate to the select element.
$(document).ready(function(event) {
$('select').on('mouseenter','option',function(e) {
alert('yeah');
// this refers to the option so you can do this.value if you need..
});
});
Demo at http://jsfiddle.net/AjfE8/
try with mouseover. Its working for me. Hover also working only when the focus comes out from the optionlist(like mouseout).
function (event) {
$('select').mouseover(function(e) {
var $target = $(e.target);
if($target.is('option')) {
alert('yeah!');
};
})
})
You don't need to rap in in a function, I could never get it to work this way. When taking it out works perfect. Also used mouseover because hover is ran when leaving the target.
$('option').mouseover(function(e) {
var $target = $(e.target);
if($target.is('option')) {
console.log('yeah!');
};
})
Fiddle to see it working. Changed it to console so you don't get spammed with alerts. http://jsfiddle.net/HMDqb/
That you want is to detect hover event on option element, not on select:
$(document).ready(
function (event) {
$('#optionList option').hover(function(e) {
console.log(e.target);
});
})
I have the same issue, but none of the solutions are working.
$("select").on('mouseenter','option',function(e) {
$("#show-me").show();
});
$("select").on('mouseleave','option',function(e) {
$("#show-me").hide();
});
$("option").mouseover(function(e) {
var $target = $(e.target);
if($target.is('option')) {
alert('yeah!');
};
});

I would recommend to go for a customized variant if you like to ease
capture hover events
change hover color
same behavior for "drop down" and "all items" view
plus you can have
resizeable list
individual switching between single selection and multiple selection mode
more individual css-ing
multiple lines for option items
Just have a look to the sample attached.
