I have a problem and I need your help. I have several links (in <aside>) leading to several different menus (in <section>). On click over the link, only the relevant div in <section> is shown, the rest are hidden. This part is ok and working. What is not working is when I click over an image:
the current div (.menu) in <section> should be hidden;
the same picture (with bigger size) should be shown;
when you click once again over the big image, the big image should disappear and the current div in .menu (the one that was hidden on the first step) should appear one more time. Sort of toggling between content.
So if I click on a picture on the "second div" content, the same picture with bigger size should be show (the "second div" content should be hidden) and when I click once again over the big picture it should disappear and the "second div" content to be returned.
I tried with toggle() but had no success. Either I did not use it correctly, or it is not suitable for my case. This is where I managed to reach to.
I will really appreaciate your support - how to show only the hidden div, not all hidden div's. Right now, when you click on the big image it did not show the hidden div.
$(window).on("load", function() {
$("div.menu:first-child").show();
});
$(".nav a").on("click", function() {
$("div.menu").fadeOut(30);
var targetDiv = $(this).attr("data-rel");
setTimeout(function() {
$("#" + targetDiv).fadeIn(30);
}, 30);
});
var pictures = $(".img-1, .img-2").on("click", function() {
$("div.menu:active").addClass("hidden");
//how to reach out only the current, active div (not all div's in .menu)?
$(".menu").hide();
var par = $("section")
.prepend("<div></div>")
.append("<img id='pic' src='" + this.src + "'>");
var removePictures = $("#pic").on("click", function() {
$(this).hide();
$(".hidden").show();
});
});

Sorry for the ugly sketch and pictures - it is only to get an idea what it should look like....
In general, it's poor form to ask on Stack Overflow how to code for a specific behavior. However, that takes some understanding of the libraries you're using, and what you are trying to achieve. Hopefully, my answer will help you better articulate and form your questions in the future.
Here's a fiddle for you: https://jsfiddle.net/hwd4b0ag/
In particular, I've modified your last click listener:
var pictures = $(".img-1, .img-2").on("click", function() {
var parentDiv = $(this).closest('div.menu').hide();
var blownUpPic = $("<img>").attr({
id: 'pic',
src: this.src,
'data-parent': parentDiv.attr('id')
})
.appendTo("section")
.on('click', function() {
$('#' + $(this).attr('data-parent')).show();
$(this).remove();
});
});
Now, let's review it!
First,
var parentDiv = $(this).closest('div.menu').hide();
In a jQuery listener, the this variable stores the current javascript DOM element that is the recipient of the event listener. In your case, it refers to an element that matches ".img-1, .img-2".
.closest(selector) will traverse up the DOM (including the current element) and find the first matching element for the provided selector. In this case, it finds your container div with class menu. Then we hide that div and save a reference to it in a variable.
Next, we create a full-sized version of the picture and assign it some attributes:
var blownUpPic = $("<img>").attr({
id: 'pic',
src: this.src,
'data-parent': parentDiv.attr('id')
})
We set the data-parent attribute to the id of our container div, so we have a reference back to it later.
We then add our image to the DOM:
.appendTo("section")
And declare a new click listener for it:
.on('click', function() {
$('#' + $(this).attr('data-parent')).show();
$(this).remove();
});
With $(this).attr('data-parent') we use the reference to our container div that we assigned earlier, and then retrieve that element by its id. We unhide the container div and remove the full-sized image.
All done!
There are better ways to code this, but I think this is a good next step for you that's analogous to your current code.

I need to show a div when a list element is hovered over, sort of like a drop-down menu.
I already have a way to do this with jQuery which is what I want, but the problem is that when I move mouse away from the list (li element), the div disappears. I want to be able to move the mouse from the list element to the div and be able to interact with the elements within the div.
This would be solved with a click function but I don't want to use click because the elements on the div will contain anchor links that when click will take users down the page, therefore you can see how a click function that shows and keep the div is not a good idea, unless I can find a way to close the div when its contents (anchor links) are clicked.
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<style>
.nav-item-dropdown {
position: absolute;
/* other styles ... */
}
</style>
<div class="nav-wrap">
<ul>
<li id="nav-item1" class="nav-item-wrap">Services</li>
<li id="nav-item2" class="nav-item-wrap">Projects</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="nav-item-dropdown nav-item1-dropdown">
<!-- Drop-down nav contents for services (title and image) wrapped by anchor link goes here -->
</div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('#nav-item1').hover(function() {
$('.nav-item1-dropdown').toggle();
});
jQuery('#nav-item2').hover(function() {
$('.nav-item2-dropdown').toggle();
});
});
</script>
I want to be able to move the mouse from the list element (.nav-item-wrap) to the div (.nav-item-dropdown) and be able to interact with the elements within the div. I don't want the div to disappear when I move the mouse away from the list element that triggered it.
.toggle() method simply toggles the visibility of elements. In your code they do well what they are for. In your case, instead of toggle use .show() and .hide() like below. You need additional class to hide div when load.
$(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('#nav-item1').hover(function() {
$('.nav-item1-dropdown').show();
$('.nav-item2-dropdown').hide();
});
jQuery('#nav-item2').hover(function() {
$('.nav-item2-dropdown').show();
$('.nav-item1-dropdown').hide();
});
});
.nav-item-dropdown {
position: absolute;
/* other styles ... */
}
.yourClass {
display: none
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="nav-wrap">
<ul>
<li id="nav-item1" class="nav-item-wrap">Services</li>
<li id="nav-item2" class="nav-item-wrap">Projects</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="nav-item-dropdown nav-item1-dropdown yourClass">
div1
<!-- Drop-down nav contents for services (title and image) wrapped by anchor link goes here -->
</div>
<div class="nav-item-dropdown nav-item2-dropdown yourClass">
div2
<!-- Drop-down nav contents for services (title and image) wrapped by anchor link goes here -->
</div>
Try this:
$(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#nav-item1').mouseover(function() {
$('.nav-item1-dropdown').show();
});
jQuery('#nav-item2').mouseover(function() {
$('.nav-item2-dropdown').show();
});
});
I think you can use something like this for showing and hiding the div
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="nav-wrap">
<ul>
<li id="nav-item1" class="nav-item-wrap">Services</li>
<li id="nav-item2" class="nav-item-wrap">Projects</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="nav-item-dropdown nav-item1-dropdown" style="display:none">
<p>your action goes here</p>
</div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('.nav-wrap').hover(function() {
$('.nav-item1-dropdown').show();
});
$('.nav-item1-dropdown').hide(); //use it wherever you need to hide it
});
</script>
Sorry for the lack of knowledge but I don't know where else to turn. I had been working on the CSS for a project while the javascript was handled by a colleague. That colleague has now left the company and I have to finish his work to hit a deadline with very little knowledge of javascript. He had created a simple function (show/hide) that allowed us to show and hide content with an unordered list. Namely when you click on a list item, the corresponding div shows and the rest hides.
This was working fine, however I have since been asked to duplicate this so that multiple (show/hides) can be used on the page. When I did this the first one works ok, but the next scripts intefere with eachother and also hide content in the other divs. I've tried to fix this using my non-existent knowledge of javascript but to know avail (attempt is below). Any help here would be massively appreciated. Thanks in advance!
function toggle(target) {
var artz = document.getElementsByClassName('history');
var targ = document.getElementById(target);
var isVis = targ.style.display == 'block';
// hide all
for (var i = 0; i < artz.length; i++) {
artz[i].style.display = 'none';
}
// toggle current
targ.style.display = isVis? 'none' : 'block';
return false;
}
function toggle2(target) {
var artz2 = document.getElementsByClassName('vision');
var targ2 = document.getElementById(target2);
var isVis2 = targ.style.display == 'block';
// hide all
for (var i = 0; i < artz2.length; i++) {
artz2[i].style.display = 'none';
}
// toggle current
targ2.style.display = isVis2? 'none' : 'block';
return false;

I think your code is okay if you intend duplicating the first toggle function in toggle2 function all you have to do is
Change the onclick event function from toggle to toggle2
<div class="container">
<ul class="slide-menu" id="second">
<li class="current"><a href="#/"
onclickk="toggle2('base');">Introduction</a></li>
<li><a href="#/"
onclick="toggle2('highways');">Highways</a></li>
<li><a href="#/"
onclick="toggle2('transport');">Transport</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="display-item vision" id="base"
style="display:block;">Vision Content</div>
<div class="display-item vision" id="highways">Vision
Content2</div>
<div class="display-item vision" id="transport">Vision
Content3</div>
</div>
This really isn't the way to set this up as it just causes the code to grow as more items need to be shown/hidden and the new code is largely the same as the old code. The original code also is more complex than it need be.
The following code will work no matter how many container structures you put on the page as long as you keep the structure the same as it is now. No ids are needed. No JQuery is needed either. You'll never need to touch the JavaScript, just add/remove HTML containers as you see fit.
See comments inline for details on what's happening.
.container {
float: left;
border:1px solid #e0e0e0;
margin:10px;
width:25%;
padding:3px;
}
/* Don't use hyperlinks <a></a> when you aren't
navigating anywhere. If you just need something
to click on, any element will do.
We'll just style the clickable elements to look like links
*/
.slide-menu > li {
text-decoration:underline;
cursor:pointer;
color: #75aaaf;
}
.hidden { display: none; } /* This class will be toggled upon clicks */
<!--

navigating anywhere. If you just need something

I'm making a house designing game of sorts and i'm wondering how i could make it so that there is a png of a flower pot in a set position.
When clicked a draggable png of the flower pot appears and the player can do it indefinitely.
this is my code so far:
HTML
<div id="buttons">
<span class="button" id="up">up</span>
<span class="button" id="down">down</span>
<div><span>Z-index: </span><span id="index"></span></div>

Thank you for any help.
You may use a helper on the draggable function to clone the object, but you will also need to do some modifications:
HTML
move the dragables to a new div with id menu outside of #images
add the class miniature to the draggables (so they can be shown all at once)
<div id="buttons">
<span class="button" id="up">up</span>
<span class="button" id="down">down</span>
<div><span>Z-index: </span><span id="index"></span></div>
</div>
<div id="menu">
<img class="draggable miniature" src="http://i64.tinypic.com/jac9sj.jpg">
<img class="draggable miniature" src="http://i64.tinypic.com/se6gia.jpg">
<img class="draggable miniature" src="http://i65.tinypic.com/205p9v6.jpg">
<!--more img.draggable.miniature elements -->
</div>
<div id="images">
<img src="http://i67.tinypic.com/wum2y8.jpg" id="background">
</div>
CSS
add the class miniature
remove position:relative from #images
this is no needed because draggable will take care of the positioning, if left may cause a snapping-like bug when releasing the item after its added
delete the .draggable class
again, this is no needed because draggable will take care of the positioning
#images {
overflow: auto;
margin-top: 10px;
height: 778px;
}
.miniature {
height: 20px;
}
js
add a helper to the draggable widget, this whelper will clone the object and remove the miniature class to make it full size again
$(".draggable").draggable({
helper: function(event) {
return $(this).clone().removeClass("miniature")
}
});
add the droppable widget to the #images div, this will make the div accept the draggable items
add the drop listener to the droppable widget, on this listener you should clone the item and add it to the container. also you should add a mousedown listener to the new element to set the selected layer
$("#images").droppable({
accept: ".draggable",
drop: function(event, ui) {
var new_item = $(ui.helper).clone();
new_item.removeClass('draggable');
new_item.mousedown(setLayer);
new_item.draggable();
$(this).append(new_item);
}
});
setLayer = function() {
selectedLayer = this;
$("#index").html(parseInt($(selectedLayer).css("z-index")))
}
With this changes this would be the result:

I have a div called masterdiv, inside this div there are 3 other div div1, div2, and div3,
This is the html for these html:
<div id="masterdiv" class="masterdivclass">
<div id="div1"><img class="div1class" src="image1.jpg" id="div1id" /></div>
<div id="div2"><img class="div2class" src="image2.jpg" id="div2id" /></div>
<div id="div3"><img class="div3class" src="image3.jpg" id="div3id" /></div>
</div>
I also have another div:
<div id=”reload”><img src="reload.png" width="200" height="70" onclick=loadDIV();></div>
What I’m trying to do is to reload the masterdiv div whenever the reload div is clicked on. Hiding and then showing the div isn’t enough as I need the content to be reloaded when the refresh div is clicked on. I don’t want to reload the entire page, just the masterdiv which contains the 3 other div. But I’m not certain this is possible.
I’m trying to do it with this Javascript function:
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadDiv(){
$("<div id="masterdiv" class="masterdivclass">
<div id="div1"><img class="div1class" src="image1.jpg" id="div1id" /></div>
<div id="div2"><img class="div2class" src="image2.jpg" id="div2id" /></div>
<div id="div3"><img class="div3class" src="image3.jpg" id="div3id" /></div>
</div>").appendTo("body");
}
</script>
This isn’t working, I think maybe I'm going about this in the wrong way? Maybe I’m missing something very simple here? I’d really appreciate any help with this, thank you in advance!
UPDATE
After reconsidering my project's requirements, I need to change part of my question, I now need to randomise the images displayed in the divs, and have a new random image load every time the reload div is clicked on. I also need to remove each class that’s currently in each of the three divs and then reattach the same classes to the divs (if I don’t remove and reattach the classes then the divs just display the plain images without any class/effect applied to them, it seems like I need to reload the class every time I load an image into a div in order for the class/effect to be applied successfully).
I have 5 images, and I’m using each div’s id tag to attach a random image to each div.
First I’m assigning the 5 different images to 5 different ids:
<script>
document.getElementById('sample1').src="images/00001.jpg";
document.getElementById('sample2').src="images/00002.jpg";
document.getElementById('sample3').src="images/00003.jpg";
document.getElementById('sample4').src="images/00004.jpg";
document.getElementById('sample5').src="images/00005.jpg";
</script>
And then I’m trying to use the following Javascript to load a randomised id (and its assigned image) to each of the 3 divs when the reload div is clicked:
<script>
$(function() {
$('#reload').on('click',function(){
$("#masterdiv").find("div[id^='div']").each(function(index){
//First, remove and reattach classes “div1class”, “div2class” and “div3class”
//from “easyDIV”, “mediumDIV” and “hardDIV” respectively:
$(“#easyDIV”).removeClass('div1class');
$(“#easyDIV”).addClass('div1class');
$(“#mediumDIV”).removeClass('div2class');
$(“#mediumDIV”).addClass('div2class');
$(“#hardDIV”).removeClass('div3class');
$(“#hardDIV”).addClass('div3class');
//Get a random number between 1 and 5, then attach it to “sample”,
//so that the result will be either “sample1”, “sample2”, “sample3”, “sample4” or “sample5”,
//call this variable “variablesample”:
var num = Math.floor(Math.random() * 5 + 1);
variablesample = "sample" +num;
//Attach this randomised id to all three divs using “variablesample”:
jQuery(this).prev("easyDIV").attr("id",variablesample);
jQuery(this).prev("mediumDIV").attr("id",variablesample);
jQuery(this).prev("hardDIV").attr("id",variablesample);
});
var p = $("#masterdiv").parent();
var el = $("#masterdiv").detach();
p.append(el);
});
});
</script>
I’m trying to make it so that all 3 divs will show the same randomised picture (that’s why they’re all sharing the variable “variablesample”), and each div will reload its own class/effect (div1class, div2class and div3class) but it’s not working. I’m not sure if it’s correct to use jQuery inside a Javascript function, or if my syntax for updating the ids of the divs is incorrect.
Perhaps my logic to solving this problem is all wrong? I’d really appreciate any more help with this problem. Thanks again in advance!

Line breaks and un-escaped quotes are why the functions is not working.
function loadDiv(){
$('#masterdiv').remove();
$("<div id='masterdiv' class='masterdivclass'><div id='div1'><img class='div1class' src='image1.jpg' id='div1id' /></div><div id='div2'><img class='div2class' src='image2.jpg' id='div2id' /></div><div id='div3'><img class='div3class' src='image3.jpg' id='div3id' /></div></div>").appendTo("body");

try:

Here's the code pen demo:

If content of container is not being changed dynamically then there is no point reloading it. appendTo wiil append DOM in existing DOM structure, you will need html() here which will replace the content inside container. Also note you had typo here onclick=loadDiv();
HTML:
<div id="masterdiv" class="masterdivclass">
<div id="div1"><img class="div1class" src="image1.jpg" id="div1id"/></div>
<div id="div2"><img class="div2class" src="image2.jpg" id="div2id"/></div>
<div id="div3"><img class="div3class" src="image3.jpg" id="div3id"/></div>
</div>
<div id="reload"><img src="reload.png" width="200" height="70" onclick=loadDiv();></div>
JS:
function loadDiv() {
$("#masterdiv").html('<div id="div1"><img class="div1class" src="image1.jpg" id="div1id" /></div>\
<div id="div2"><img class="div2class" src="image2.jpg" id="div2id" /></div>\
<div id="div3"><img class="div3class" src="image3.jpg" id="div3id" /></div>');
}
I have the following HTML;
<div id="pic_options_container">
<div id="pic_options_header">header text</div>
<div id="pic_options_org"></div>
<div id="pic_options_preview"><img id="imgPreview" src="" /></div></div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>
What I am trying to achieve is; When clicked on pic_options_container the children of that div should hide. However, pic_options_container itself also gets hidden.
$('#pic_options_container').click(function () {
$(this).children().hide();
});
Anyone know of a solution or tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Are you sure it gets hidden? I bet you it just gets "emptied" and it collapses to 0 width and height.
See this: http://jsfiddle.net/SmSGS/
You can try:
$('#pic_options_container').click(function () {
$(this).hide(); // to hide container it self, not chldren
});
DEMO
But to hide children and both container:
$('#pic_options_container').click(function () {
$(this).children().hide().end().hide(); // to hide container it self
});
DEMO
About invalid markup
<div id="pic_options_preview"><img id="imgPreview" src="" /></div></div>
an extra closing </div> in the end, correct that.
You have to give an height and width to see your 'pic_options_container' container if it doesnt has childrens or are hidded.
