I want to make an HTML element reference like this
<html> X
- description -
<head> X
- description -
<body> X
- description -
The description of the element is hidden by default so when I click on the "X" or the DIV that contains that element description, the description shows up or hide when I click it again.
This is my HTML code:
<h1>HTML Reference</h1>
<div id="reference-list">
<div class="list-element"><html></div>
<div class="element-desc">Here's go description</div>
<div class="list-element"><head></div>
<div class="element-desc">Here's go description</div>
</div>
I tried with jQuery but I dont know how to select the specific div containing the description of that element, since all the divs have the same class (otherwise I will have to create 100 class for each HTML element).
What I tried is this:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".list-element").click(function(){
$(".element-desc").toggle();
});
});
</script>
This doesn't work since it show/hide the description of all the elements on the site.
You can use .next() if thats is the correct position of your element.
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".list-element").click(function(){
$(this).next().toggle();
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<h1>HTML Reference</h1>
<div id="reference-list">
<div class="list-element"><html></div>
<div class="element-desc">Here's go description</div>
<div class="list-element"><head></div>
<div class="element-desc">Here's go description</div>
</div>
You're selecting all the element descriptions with the $(".element-desc") selector. Try doing this instead:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".list-element").click(function(){
$(this).next().toggle();
});
});
Using next selects the next element. Basically you want to make your selector more specific and using next is one example of how to do so

I am using JQM and I have a situation where I have HTML generated dynamically. It's possible, even probable that the same HTML will be used in more that one place on the page. I have a div with data in it that I only want to be displayed when the user clicks the header div. IE:
<html>
<head>
<style>
</style>
<script src="/js/jquery.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div onclick="$(this).children('div:first').toggle();">This is Div 1</div>
<div style="display:none">
<p>I'm hidden</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
What I'd like to do is when the user clicks on the Click Me link the child toggles its display on and off. Any thoughts on how this can be accomplished without some convoluted ID scheme? (I've thought of at least two).
According to the code you posted, the div containing "I'm hidden" is not a child of the first div.
You can use $.eq() to select a specific children index: https://api.jquery.com/eq/
<div onclick="$(this).children('div').eq(0).toggle();">
This is Div 1
<div style="display:none">
<p>I'm hidden</p>
</div>
</div>
See working JSFiddle (with "hidden div" child of Div1)
If you need to toggle visibility of a sibling, you can use $.siblings() https://api.jquery.com/siblings/ or $.next() https://api.jquery.com/next/
<div onclick="$(this).next().toggle();">
This is Div 1
</div>
<div style="display:none">
<p>I'm hidden and I'm a sibling</p>
</div>
See JSFiddle2 (hidden div sibling of Div1)
you can tie an event to the Click Me and in javascript/jquery, find the first child div after "this" (the div that was clicked). Something like this:
$(this).children("div:first");
I am dynamically assigning the div id based on the api call back data. For example I have a bunch of data returned which is appended to a div and I can assign the div id with a unique ip address. I have full control over what I can assign i.e. DIV id or class or whatever..
I have attached an example of what the output looks like and hopefully it will clarify what i am looking for.
What I want to be able to achieve is when an endpoint link is clicked, it will show the respective div and hide all other DIV data boxes.. The endpoint links can made clickable and i can add onclick scripts to them or whatever needs to be done
Whether we use the div id or class name i am not fussed.
This should work just fine.
Assign your div with a class, in the demo i'm using EndPoint. The onclick function will use the class to find the div element and hide it. Then it will use this the element used to trigger the function, target the div within that element and show it.
$('.EndPoint').on('click', function () {
$('.EndPoint').find('div').hide();
$(this).find('div').show();
});
.EndPoint div{display:none;}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="EndPoint">
End Point [0]
<div><b>IP Address:</b> 216.12.145.20</div>
</div>
<div class="EndPoint">
End Point [1]
<div><b>IP Address:</b> 172.230.105.123</div>
</div>
<div class="EndPoint">
End Point [2]
<div><b>IP Address:</b> 206.204.52.31</div>
</div>
If you don't understand anything please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Edit - jQuery Append with onclick
var IPs=["216.12.145.20","172.230.105.123","206.204.52.31"];
//Foreach value in array
$.each(IPs, function(i,v) {
//Append to id:container
$('#container').append('<div class="EndPoint">End Point ['+i+']<div><b>IP Address:</b> '+v+'</div></div>');
});
$('.EndPoint').on('click', function () {
$('.EndPoint').find('div').hide();
$(this).find('div').show();
});
.EndPoint div{display:none;}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="container"></div>
I hope this helps. Happy coding!
Since elements are dynamically generated it's better to do with classes IMO.
HTML
<div id="endpoint1">
<a href='#' class='clicker'>End Point 1</a>
<p class='hideThis'>1.1.1.1</p>
</div>
<div id="endpoint2">
<a href='#' class='clicker'>End Point 2</a>
<p class='hideThis'>1.1.1.1</p>
</div>
<div id="endpoint3">
<a href='#' class='clicker'>End Point 3</a>
<p class='hideThis'>1.1.1.1</p>
</div>
JavaScript (using JQuery)
$('.clicker').on('click', function () {
$('.hideThis').hide();
$(this).next().show();
});

If you want to hide the content initially, just add the following CSS class which hides the content initially.
.hideThis{
display: none;
}
Okay so I have a very limited amount of knowledge with this and I can not find my answer anywhere. What I am trying to do is create multiple buttons that toggle information. So when the first toggle is clicked div 1 is toggled, when i click the second toggle div two opens and preferably div 1 closes. My code is very basic I am very new to this. Right now no matter what values I input into the toggle area both divs close. Thank you and I hope this makes sense.
Here is my code:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
$("div.house").toggle();
});
});
</script>
<button>Toggle</button>
<div class="house">
<p>SAMPLE TEXT ETC...</p>
</div>
<button>Toggle</button>
<div class="tumble-by">
<p>SAMPLE TEXT ETC...</p>
</div>
You can select the next sibling:
$("button").click(function(){
$(this).next().toggle();
});
In the above code, JavaScript this keyword refers to the clicked element. $(this) creates a jQuery collection and .next() method selects the very next sibling of the collection's element.
I agree too, that first you need to hide all divs:
$("button").click(function () {
$('div').hide();
$(this).next().toggle();
});
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$(document).on("click", ".js-toggle__button", function (e) {
$(".js-toggle__text").hide();
$(this).next(".js-toggle__text").show();
});
});
</script>
<button class="toggle__button js-toggle__button">Toggle</button>
<div class="toggle__text js-toggle__text">
<p>SAMPLE TEXT 1 ETC...</p>
</div>
<button class="toggle__button js-toggle__button">Toggle</button>
<div class="toggle__text js-toggle__text">
<p>SAMPLE TEXT 2 ETC...</p>
</div>
It's better to use uniquely defined identifiers when you accessing elements from JS (and don't use them for CSS — use separate names).
Your HTML code some day can be changed dramatically and JS will work anyway because it depends on identifiers but not on structure or on tag names.
This is roughly my setup:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="first">
<a class="button" href="">click</a>
</div>
<div class="second">
<div class="third">
Stuff
<div>
</div>
</div>
Ok, so what I want to is this: when you click the a tag, the .third div should animate.
What I have so far is this:
button.click ->
third.animate
left: '+=100%'
The problem is, I have multiple of these wrappers on one page. So when I click the button, every '.third' div on the page animates. How can I select the right one and only that one?
Thanks!
Try this:
$('a').click(function(){
var third = $(this).closest('.wrapper').find('.third');
//use third variable to animate
});
You can use closest or parents.
If you want only one div to animate, assign an id to the div and animate only that one by$("#third").animate("left", "100%");
I have a div within a div. On page load, they should both be hidden, then when I trigger the slideDown() function on the outer div, I want the inner div to remain hidden. How can I achieve this?
<script>
$(function(){
$('.body').hide();
$('.display').click(function(){
$(this).closest('.wrapper').find('.body').slideDown();
});
});
</script>
<div class="wrapper">
<a class="display" href="#">Display Outer</a>
<div class="body">
Now displaying outer div
<div class="wrapper">
<a class="display" href="#">Display Inner</a>
<div class="body">
Now displaying inner div
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is an example of it not working: http://jsfiddle.net/b7Tpt/
The reason it doesn't work is the use of find. find would traverse all levels to find the matches while the children would travel single level. So use find('.body:first') or children('.body')
$(function(){
$('.body').hide();
$('.display').click(function(){
$(this).closest('.wrapper').find('.body:first').slideDown();
});
});
Updated Example
OR
$(function(){
$('.body').hide();
$('.display').click(function(){
$(this).closest('.wrapper').children('.body').slideDown();
});
});
Updated Example
Try -
$('.display').click(function(){
$(this).siblings('.body').slideDown();
});
I think $(this).closest('.wrapper') was moving up the DOM tree and finding the top most wrapper div then opening all the body classes it found underneath. Using siblings should get the element with a body class that is directly beneath the clicked link.
