show/hide item using javascript

I have developed a 3D model using JavaScript.
I need to show/hide a specific item in the model using a checkbox.
In the html file the checkbox has implemented.
<div id= "shower" class="row-shower" /div>
<input type="checkbox" id="show-shower" />
<label for="show-shower"> show/hide shower </label>
In the JS file, called the function:
var elem = document.getElementById('shower'),
showshower = document.getElementById("show-shower");
showshower.checked = true;
showshower.onchange = function() {
elem.style.display = this.checked ? 'cubicle' : 'none';
};
showshower.onchange();
CSS code:
.cubicle {
display:block;
}
.hideCubicle {
display:none;
}
The current issue I'm facing is when click the show/hide checkbox the whole model is gone. I just need the shower to be disappear. Not the whole model.
Any suggestion how to perform this?

var elem = document.getElementById('shower');
showshower = document.getElementById("show-shower");
showshower.onchange = function ()
{
elem.classList = this.checked ? 'cubicle' : 'hideCubicle';
};

You can change try code see
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".show-content").hide();
$('.check').change(function() {
if($(this).is(":checked")) {
$(".show-content").show();
}
else{
$(".show-content").hide();
}
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<label>Show/Hide</label>
<input type="checkbox" class="check">
<div class="show-content">

</div>

I found the solution.
I just add the following code to the JS file.
if(checked){
pSpec.cubicle.visible=false;
console.log("hide");
}
else
{
pSpec.cubicle.visible=true;
console.log("show");
}
You might wonder where the pSpec variable come from. That's the variable which I used to create partitions in the model. I did not share the whole code because it is lot of coding.

How can I hide a div that I've just added with a click?

I'm appending some HTML to my button on a click, like this:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('#sprout-view-grant-access-button').on('click', function(e) {
$(this).toggleClass('request-help-cta-transition', 1000, 'easeOutSine');
var callback = $(e.currentTarget).attr('data-grant-access-callback');
var wrapper = $('.dynamic-container');
console.log(wrapper);
if( typeof window[callback] !== 'function') {
console.log('Callback not exist: %s', callback);
}
var already_exists = wrapper.find('.main-grant-access');
console.log(already_exists);
if( already_exists.length ) {
already_exists.remove();
}
var markup = $(window[callback](e.currentTarget));
wrapper.append(markup);
});
});
function generate_grant_access_container_markup() {
var contact_data_array = contact_data;
var template = jQuery('#template-sprout-grant-access-container')
return mustache(template.html(), {
test: 's'
});
}
As per the code, whatever comes from generate_grant_access_container_markup will be put inside dynamic-container and shown.
My problem is that, the newly added code just doesn't wanna dissapear upon clicking (toggle) of the button once again.
Here's my syntax / mustache template:
<script type="template/mustache" id="template-sprout-grant-access-container">
<p class="main-grant-access">{{{test}}}</p>
</script>
And here's the container:
<div class="button-nice request-help-cta" id="sprout-view-grant-access-button" data-grant-access-callback="generate_grant_access_container_markup">
Grant Devs Access
<div class="dynamic-container"></div>
</div>
I understand that the click event only knows about items that are in the DOM at the moment of the click, but how can I make it aware of everything that gets added after?

I would recommend visibility: hidden. Both display none and removing elements from the dom mess with the flow of the website. You can be sure you would not affect the design with visibility: hidden.
I don't deal with Jquery at all but it seems like this Stack overflow covers the method to set it up well.
Equivalent of jQuery .hide() to set visibility: hidden

Using JS, how do I swap out a specifc instance of text instead of all instances?

Sorry if this is a really noobish question but I have just made a form with sections that are toggle-able. Each section has a '.header' which on click will perform a slideToggle on the section div.
I would like to add a triangle either pointing down or sideways to let people know it is toggle-able. (i.e ▶ or ▼).
I have the triangle in a span with the class '.arrowTog'
I was able to get partial success with
$('.header').on('click', function() {
if ($('.arrowTog').text().contains('▼')){
$('.arrowTog').text('▶');
}else{
$('.arrowTog').text('▼');
}
});
When I clicked on one all of the triangles swapped so I tried this (which causes none of them to rotate at all):
$('.header').on('click', function() {
if ($(this).prev('.arrowTog').text().contains('▼')){
$(this).prev('.arrowTog').text('▶');
}else{
$(this).prev('.arrowTog').text('▼');
}
});
This is a sample of the HTML
<div class="header" style="cursor: pointer;">
<span class="arrowTog">▶ </span>
<b>Merchant</b>
</div>
<div class="searchContent" style="display:none;">
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!

In your first version, the problem is you're finding every .arrowTog in the page. You can use the fact that within the click handler, this is bound to the element that was clicked, and then just search within that using find:
$('.header').on('click', function() {
var arrow = $(this).find('.arrowTog');
if (arrow.text().contains('▼')){
arrow.text('▶');
} else {
arrow.text('▼');
}
});

You're using a class. You probably have a number of elements with the same class in it, so jQuery is matching all of them and doing this transformation to all of them.
Use a context (All .arrowTog RIGHT INSIDE THIS NODE):
$('.header').on('click', function(evt) {
if ($('.arrowTog', evt.target).text().contains('▼')){
$('.arrowTog', evt.target).text('▶');
}else{
$('.arrowTog', evt.target).text('▼');
}
});

Why not use CSS?
.arrowTog:before {
content: '▶';
}
.arrowTog.open:before {
content: '▼';
}
And then
$('.header').on('click', function() {
$(this).toggleClass('open');
});

Javascript Collapsible Menu (hide the other elements)

I have the following working Javascript function:
function collapsible(zap) {
if (document.getElementById) {
var abra = document.getElementById(zap).style;
if (abra.display == "block") {
abra.display = "none";
} else {
abra.display = "block";
}
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
When I use the following in html code it displays or hides the "element" div:
<li>Element</li>
Thats working fine. But the problem is, that I want to use the function for multiple links, and then the other elements, that were clicked before, stay, open.
How can I reprogram the code, so that only one div stays open and the other gets closed if i click on another link?
Thanks beforehand!

If you could use jQuery and more importantly jQueryUI accordion I think it would accomplish exactly what you're looking for.
However, without using those two, here is how I would structure it. Like mentioned above, I would use classes to modify the styles of the divs you want shown or hidden. Then the js code can just toggle those classes on each of your elements. The slightly more difficult part (without jquery) is modifying class values since in your final application you may have lots of classes on each div. This is just a very crude example to get you going.
Working JSFiddle Example
Sample DOM
<div >
<li>Element1</li>
<div id='elem1' class='myelem visible'>
Element 1 contents
</div>
</div>
<div >
<li>Element2</li>
<div id='elem2' class='myelem'>
Element 2 contents
</div>
</div>
<div >
<li>Element3</li>
<div id='elem3' class='myelem'>
Element 3 contents
</div>
</div>
Sample JS
window['collapsible'] = function(zap) {
if (document.getElementById)
{
var visDivs = document.getElementsByClassName('visible');
for(var i = 0; i < visDivs.length; i++)
{
visDivs[i].className = visDivs[i].className.replace('visible','');
}
document.getElementById(zap).className += " visible";
return false;
}
else
return true;
}
Sample CSS:
.myelem {
display: none;
}
.visible {
display: block;
}

The way to go is to create a class(or maybe two), like collapsible and active or open that has this style(display: block or none) and then you working adding or removing the class.
The logic would be:
Links that has the class collapsible when clicked would add the active or open class which would give the behavior that remains opens(or active) by css.
If you want to hide others elements you would look for the elements with the class collapsible and then remove the active(or open) class if has any.

Here is my solution: http://jsfiddle.net/g5oc0uoq/
$('.content').hide();
$('.listelement').on('click', function(){
if(!($(this).children('.content').is(':visible'))){
$('.content').slideUp();
$(this).children('.content').slideDown();
} else {
$('.content').slideUp();
}
});
show() and hide() can be used instead of slideUp() and slideDown() if you have performance issues.

Javascript if else statement to hide and show div

Please refer to the following codes :
<div id="message-1" onclick="javascript:showresponddiv(this.id)>
</div>
<div id="respond-1" style="display:none;">
</div>
<div id="message-2" onclick="javascript:showresponddiv(this.id)>
</div>
<div id="respond-2" style="display:none;">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showresponddiv(messagedivid){
var responddivid = messagedivid.replace("message-", "respond-");
if (document.getElementById(responddivid).style.display=="none"){
document.getElementById(responddivid).style.display="inline";
} else {
document.getElementById(responddivid).style.display="none";
}
}
</script>
The codes above already success make the respond div appear when user click on message div. The respond div will disappear when user click on message div again. Now my question is how to make the respond div of 1st message disappear when user click on 2nd message to display the respond div of 2nd message?

You should give the "respond" divs a common class:
<div id="respond-1" class="response' style="display:none;"></div>
Then you can get all divs by using getElementsByTagName, compare the class and hide them on a match:
function hideAllResponses() {
var divs = document.getElementsByTagName('div');
for(var i = divs.length; i-- ;) {
var div = divs[i];
if(div.className === 'response') {
div.style.display = 'none';
}
}
}
We cannot use getElementsByClassName, because this method is not supported by IE8 and below. But of course this method can be extended to make use of it if it is supported (same for querySelectorAll). This is left as an exercise for the reader.
Further notes:
Adding javascript: to the click handler is syntactically not wrong but totally unnecessary. Just do:
onclick="showresponddiv(this.id)"
If you have to do a lot of DOM manipulation of this kind, you should have a look at a library such as jQuery which greatly simplify such tasks.
Update: If always only one response is shown and you are worried about speed, then store a reference to opened one:
var current = null;
function showresponddiv(messagedivid){
var id = messagedivid.replace("message-", "respond-"),
div = document.getElementById(id);
// hide previous one
if(current && current !== div) {
current.style.display = 'none';
}
if (div.style.display=="none"){
div.style.display="inline";
current = div;
}
else {
div.style.display="none";
}
}
Edit: Fixed logic. See a DEMO.

You can add some class to all divs with id="respond-"
e.g
<div id="respond-1" class="classname" style="display:none;"></div>
<div id="respond-2" class="classname" style="display:none;"></div>
Now at first row of your function "showresponddiv()" you should find all divs with class "classname" and hide them.
With jQuery it is simple code:
$(".classname").hide();
jQuery - is a Javascript Library that helps you to easy manipulate with DOM and provides cross-browser compatibility.
Also you can look to Sizzle - it is a JavaScript CSS selector engine used by jQuery for selecting DOM elements
