so I have set up my div to expand on href click. Href is before div which is executing my javascript width of div from 48px to 240px. So all is working properly but when the width is expanded and I click on area where div has been expanded it doesn't collapses. Can't figure out how to fix it. On Code Snippet seems working but on my browser doesn't work (Firefox).
function toggleNavbar() {
var navbar = document.getElementById('navbar');
var displaySetting = navbar.style.width;
var navbarButton = document.getElementById('navbar_button');
if (displaySetting == '240px') {
navbar.style.width = '48px';
document.getElementById('navigation').innerHTML = "<i class='fas fa-bars'></i>";
}
else {
navbar.style.width = '240px';
document.getElementById('navigation').innerHTML = "<i class='fas fa-bars'></i> Navigation";
}
}
#navbar {
position: relative;
width: 48px;
height: 100%;
padding: 20px 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
#navbar a {
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
}
#navbar .navbar_item {
background-color: rgb(165, 23, 69);
border: none;
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 16px;
padding: 10px 10px;
}
#navbar .navbar_item i {
width: 30px;
padding: 0 5px;
}
<script src="https://kit.fontawesome.com/7204bf25d6.js"></script>
<div id="navbar">
<a href="#" id="navbar_button" onclick="toggleNavbar()">
<div class="navbar_item" id="navigation">
<i class="fas fa-bars"></i>
</div>
</a>
</div>
Problem fixed.
I haven't added jQuery to my documents. After adding it it has fixed problem.
Thanks to #ikiK for giving some advice on checking code.

The sidebar menu below works as expected but there are some elements that I would like to fix and improve.
#1 If you expand the 'System Admin' section the line that is displayed on the left side a in the correct place. However, if you
click on the 'Access Control' the line eon the left side is going
below the horizontal line that's pointing to that section. I tried
fixing that with css 'last-child' method but still is not working
correct. If I change percentage from 50% to 85% then the other
section will have an issue.
#2 I'm looking for a better way to expand/collapse the sections. The function show mimic the existing one, but instead of using the object
with key items I would like to use classes instead if possible.
$( document ).ready(function() {
SIDEBAR_OLD.BASE.ExpandCollapse('Auto');
});
const SIDEBAR_OLD = {};
SIDEBAR_OLD.BASE ={};
SIDEBAR_OLD.BASE.ToggleContent = function(section_id) {
let $sContents = $("#section_" + section_id);
if ( $sContents.css("display") != "none" ) {
$sContents.css("display","none");
} else { // Default to seeing the folder's contents:
$sContents.css("display","");
}
};
$("#main-page-wrapper").on("click", ".toggle-menu", function(e){
e.preventDefault();
let section_id = $(this).attr("data-id");
SIDEBAR_OLD.BASE.ToggleContent(section_id);
});
SIDEBAR_OLD.BASE.ExpandCollapse = function(action) {
let $sContents = null,
sExpand = null,
sRoot = false,
items = {1:"m",2:"sysadmin",5:"access"};
for (key in items) {
$sContents = $("#section_" + items[key]);
switch (action) {
case "Expand":
sExpand = "Yes";
break;
case "Collapse":
sExpand = "No";
break;
default:
if ( !(sExpand = $sContents.attr("data-expand")) ) sExpand = "Yes";
}
// Never close root elements automatically. Only ToggleContent(pNumber), below, can do that.
if ( sRoot = $sContents.attr("data-root") ) { // Note! Assignment! "=", not "=="!
if (sRoot == "Yes") sExpand = "Yes";
}
if ( sExpand == "No" ) {
$sContents.css("display","none");
} else { // Default to seeing the folder's contents:
$sContents.css("display","");
}
}
return true;

I have a page with an initial description, followed by 2 buttons, where the user can choose typeA or typeB. They work by "target": when the user clicks typeA comes the content relative to typeA, bellow the buttons; same to typeB.
typeA is the most common selection, then, when the page loads, a javascript emulates the click to typeA and opens respective content. To avoid hidden the initial description, there is another javascript to put the page at the top. Worked on Chrome and Edge, not on Firefox.
I would like to repeat the same process when the user clicks: opens the respective content, but positioning the page at the top, or, at least, showing the buttons. I thought event onClick calling the same js backToTop would worked - but not.
I put an alert on js and enters there but not execute: always keeps the content of the button selected in its better visibility.
I tried:
window.location.href = '#top';
window.scrollBy(0, -500);
document.html.scrollTop = document.documentElement.scrollTop = 0;
without success.
What am I doing wrong?

You had a real mess there regarding how you process click events and href attribute, i.e:
You had onclick attribute on your links, and you were adding yet another listener to them in JS
You didn't event.preventDefault() in your function, and default browser behavior when you click on a link is to get you to its href path
I've cleaned up a bit and changed some things. Since we need to prevent default behavior :target selector will no longer work, so instead I did what you've already been doing with links, and added an active class to your content. clickHandler() will now remove and add class active as necessary. At the end just scroll to the top. Here's the snippet:
document.querySelectorAll('.target').forEach(targetLink => targetLink.addEventListener('click', clickHandler, false));
function clickHandler(ev) {
ev.preventDefault(); // prevent browser from automatically scrolling to href pos
if (!ev.currentTarget.classList.contains('active')) {
// disable active elements
document.querySelector('.target.active').classList.remove('active');
document.querySelector('.items div.active').classList.remove('active');
// add class to the clicked on button and its corresponding content tab
ev.currentTarget.classList.add('active');
// to prevent pointless string slicing below, you'd have to store ids somewhere else i.e in the data-id attribute
const id = ev.currentTarget.href.slice(ev.currentTarget.href.lastIndexOf('#') + 1);
document.getElementById(id).classList.add('active');
}
window.scrollTo(0,0);
}

Note that instead of artificially clicking at the page load, now your content just loads with class active.

I have set up a hamburger menu with a close icon already. I'm just not sure how to just turn off the hamburger menu with a simple click. Only thing I've been able to do is just reload the page completely. Perhaps there is some jquery that could be used to solve this issue.
The close menu button is item 1 in the menu list.
Here is my code.
<div class="menu-wrapper">
<nav>
<ul class="header-menu">
<li><i class="far fa-window-close"></i></li>
<li class="current">Home</li>
<li>Prints</li>
<li>Blog</li>
<li>Tutorials</li>
<li>Sports</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
CSS:
#menu-icon {
display: hidden;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
background: url(../img/menu-icon.png) center;
text-decoration: none;
}
#close-menu {
display: none;
}
#media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
#menu-icon {
display:inline-block;
z-index: 10000;
}
#close-menu {
display: inline-block;
color: black !important;
font-size: 20px !important;
}
OK, here's an example of how to make a burger nav. Fiddle
HTML:
<nav data-state=closed>
<a>×</a>
<a href=something.html>Link 1</a>
<a href=something-else.html>Link 2</a>
<a href=etc.html>Link 3</a>
</nav>
See how we're preparing to toggle the open/closed state with a data attribute. (We could have used a class, but I prefer a DA in this case because it means we can toggle it; with a class, you'd have to remove one class and add anothe, e.g. remove 'closed' and add 'open'.)
The structure is simple; we use a nav element and use the first a within it as the close icon. We use the multiplication (times) entity for this.
CSS:
nav {
position: absolute;
right: 1rem;
top: 2rem;
padding: 1rem;
background-color: #d55 !important;
}
nav[data-state=closed] {
cursor: pointer;
background: url('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b2/Hamburger_icon.svg/220px-Hamburger_icon.svg.png') no-repeat 100%/100%;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
}
nav a { display: block; }
nav a:not(:first-of-type) { border-bottom: solid 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, .2); padding: .8rem 0; }
nav[data-state=closed] * { display: none; }
nav a:first-of-type {
position: absolute;
right: .2rem;
top: -.1rem;
font-size: 2rem;
cursor: pointer;
font-weight: bold;
}
Now here's the key part, the JS:
//get nav element
let nav = $('nav');
//listen for clicks on it
nav.on('click', evt => {
//...get current state (open vs. closed)
let curr_state = nav.attr('data-state');
//...if open, and click was NOT to close icon (first A tag) ignore click
if (curr_state == 'open' && !$(evt.target).is('a:first-of-type')) return;
//...otherwise toggle state (open it or close it)
nav.attr('data-state', curr_state == 'closed' ? 'open' : 'closed');
})
I wrote some code with three things in mind:
Highlighting a selection's border using 'on click'.
Selecting one item will remove the highlight from the other item.
The ability to deselect each item on click.
I've managed to get everything working for the most part, but I don't particularly like how complex the code is for the radial dot that appears when one item is selected.
Below is an example of what I'm talking about, particularly I'm looking for ways to refactor the code below into something a little more legible (shorter).
$(this).children('.radial').children().toggleClass('checked').parents('.itembox')
.siblings().children('.radial').children().removeClass('checked');
Here's a working example for more context (line 10):
var raceInternet = false;
var racePhone = false;
var raceTv = false;
$(function() {
var $targetDiv = $('#race-internet > .itembox');
var $radialDot = $('.radial > .center-dot');
$targetDiv.on('click', function() {
$(this).toggleClass('user-selected').siblings().removeClass('user-selected');
//Is it possible to refactor Line 10?
$(this).children('.radial').children().toggleClass('checked').parents('.itembox').siblings().children('.radial').children().removeClass('checked');
if ($targetDiv.is('.user-selected')) {
raceInternet = true;
} else {
raceInternet = false;
}
})
})

You can eliminate a lot of your jQuery by just leveraging CSS. Typically, if I want to toggle a feature, I have it either display: block; or display: none; based upon a CSS selector. Then, I just use jQuery to toggle the parent element's class name. So for example:
.item.selected .checkmark {
display: block;
}
.item .checkmark {
display: none;
}
$('.item').click(function(){ $(this).toggleClass('selected') });

I use for a project Font Awesome for icons and because they do not show in IE8 when I use it like:
<i class="fa fa-bars fa-2x"></i>
I am forced to use the cheat sheet icons as this:
<i class="mobile-search-icon fa fa-lg"></i>
This way, the icons show OK in IE8 as well.
Now, the problem... Using the cheat sheet icons, how can I replace the value with another on toggle? Please check the example below where you see initially the search icon and on click I should see a close icon and on another click, show again the search icon.
The example below is the closest way I have found so far, and I need some help if possible. Thanks
$(".mobile-search-icon").on('click', function(e) {
$(this).siblings(".search-container").fadeToggle(500);
if ($.trim($(this).text()) === '') {
$(this).text('');
} else {
$(this).text('');
}
return false;
});
.search-bar {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.mobile-search-icon {
color: #fff;
display: block;
line-height: 50px;
width: 150px;
z-index: 1;
background-color: black;
text-align: center;
padding: 20px;
}

Not sure exactly what you want, but it looks neat. I made a demo that uses FA's Unicode on Snippet 1.
I re-read your question, I think I understand ... You just want to toggle the button between 2 icons. If so look at Snippet 2. Your problem is that you are using .text() method which will add non-parsed plain text. .html() will take text and parse it to HTML so it's rendered as what the text represents, and not what it is literally.
SNIPPET 1
var tgt = document.querySelector('.search-bar');
var btn = document.querySelector('.search-btn');
btn.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
var res = document.getElementById('result');
var txt = document.getElementById('inputText').value;
var mom = res.parentNode;
if (res) {
mom.removeChild(res);
}
genFA(txt);
}, false);
function genFA(x) {
var baseUni = "";
var iEle = document.createElement('i');
iEle.id = 'result';
iEle.classList.add('fa');
iEle.classList.add('fa-lg');
iEle.innerHTML = baseUni + x;
return tgt.appendChild(iEle);
