I want to create a html site for troubleshooting problems, in which the user selects an answer to a question and then another question is loaded based on the answer, and then another question based on that answer and so on until they drill down to a solution.
I've looked around on here for something similar but all I've found so far is quite simple code that hides all divs then changes the display options based on which radio button is selected - with the number of questions I want to load I dont think this would be suitable...
I think the best way to do it would be to find a way to store all of the different questions in a separate file then use an onclick event to load the correct one depending on which radio button is selected... preferably using AJAX. Problem is I'm extremely rusty with my js/ajax and have no idea where to begin with this!
I realise it sounds like I'm asking practically asking someone to write it for me haha! but even if someone knows of any tutorials or can just point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!
Try JQuery-Drilldown
A Demo and Instructions are in the Link below. Just look at the tags and the JavaScript

This is my first question here, I'm very new to coding so please forgive me any mistakes.
So i started learning html/css/some basic javascript recently and I'm trying to build a website just for practice. So one page on it looks like this:
https://imgur.com/ZHyeprC
And right now i have different html files for each article (linked under the site navigation: Shauna, The First One etc.), so each name of the article takes you to a different page.
What i want to do is to have multiple articles in just one html file, and make them show up/disappear when the name of the article is clicked.
I tried to figure it out somehow in jquery, but i only managed to wrap the article in a div and make it appear when the invisible div is clicked... which isn't much useful.
So is it posibble to do with simple javascript/jquery? If so, the how do i do this?
Thank you all in advance, Michal.
The most easy and practical way is to have one HTML file for each article. It makes your files more organized and easier to find. Otherwise, if your client just want to look at one article the page has to load all articles which may take longer if the client happens to have a slow internet connection.
I am a newbie with html and i need your support. Please look at my code:
https://fiddle.jshell.net/ghLoau6r/1/
Now I want to make a list of FAQs as table. The requirements are:
when we click to any link button (here we have 2 link buttons as 2 rows of the table), the background must be changed (not pink anymore, but another color)
when we click to any link button, the triangle at the beginning of the row also changes to another form (i created already but my code does not run)
when we click "show info 2", the corresponding "content 2" should be shown, instead of "content 1" now.
please help me, thank you guys very much !
So, not to be rude but there is so many things that need to be fixed here, that I don't have time to share them all with you. I'd strongly recommend picking up a book (HeadFirst HTML & CSS isn't bad, there are plenty others) and getting a solid understanding before continuing the work.
That said, the core problems to your specific question are that first, ID's should be unique (you have two elements with the ID of 'content1'). Second, your second link is looking for content1 still, even though you want content2. A quick fix would be to update the ID of the second content area ,and then update the anchor onclick handler to look for the correct ID.
That said, this is pretty far from an ideal or scalable solution, so please read up.
As commented, I think it will be hard to help without completely writing it for you. But I'd like to at least point out that you should move your JavaScript from inline/in the HTML into a separate JS file.
In your JS Fiddle, take this:
onclick="document.getElementById('content1').style.display=(document.getElementById('content1').style.display=='none')?'block':'none'"
And put it in the "JavaScript" section of JS Fiddle, inside of a $(document).ready() function. Use jQuery to register the onclick event to the behavior you want. Can include jQuery in your fiddle by using a jQuery URI such as https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.4/jquery.min.js

I was wondering how one could create something that resembles a textfield, but can contain html elements in it. For example, something like what Stackoverflow uses for tags on its "Ask Question" page. Can this be done this done using a particular plugin/library or does it need to be created from scratch?
I have seen some solutions using the "contenteditable" property, but I am worried about cross browser compatibility. In fact it would appear that the Stackoverflow example does not use this. I have tried searching for info on how to do this but haven't found anything. Would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.
You don't need to create it from scratch. Here is the one I use: TinyMCE
You might also find this useful. But you dont need to make a new one. There are a plenty of open source options available.
I am coding some sort of booking system - calendar. One of the features is also a (js) pop up window with detailed information about event - user can either view them or edit.
Now my problem - I have put there a HTML select control (dropdown box), quite simple - 5 options. But somehow, and I have no ide why, this select is uneditable - that means that after I click on it nothing happens (I do not get the list of the options).
I know that now I should put a code here, however, whole system is so complex that it would take me ages.
I do not await exact answer or solution of my problem. I would like to ask you for advice - what would you check? I went through CSS up and down - no clue at all. Maybe some javascript? But how? I do use one public js library, so it might be something there, I checked as well, no clue.
Any advice would be much appreciated. I am stuck now... :-(
Thanks a lot!
Peter
::EDIT::
I have found out what is was! The ID if that pop-up window is bbit-cal-buddle and there is this line in the .js:
$("#bbit-cal-buddle").mousedown(function(e) { return false });
which basically explains why I can't select anything in dropdown (funny thing - checkboxes and radio works!). So my question is: how do I exclude my select and option tag from that .js command?
I've found a useful option when the bug is that obscure is to logarithmically comment your code.
That is,
Comment 100% of the code that might be causing a problem.
Test
If it works, uncomment 50% of the code you commented and go to step #2.
If it doesn't work, you know the problem exists in the code you uncommented.
Yes, this is somewhat of a monolothic technique, but I've found it to be very useful in the past.

Just to be sure, turn off ALL styles. this will render your page without the styles(obviously) and check if you can click the drop down. If you can, it is 98% a CSS error. It happened to me awhile ago - most probably an absolutely positioned div is covering it.
If you still can't click it, bring back the CSS then disable all javascripts. It should still be clickable by then since and html select tag doesnt need JS to be clickable.
If it still doesn't work, try doing a regular html select tag and check if you can select that one. If you can, then there is something wrong with your select tag
I have a form field in Drupal which I need some help with.
The requirement is to have the field show up as a simple input field, but to have a toggle button against it which would convert it into a multi-line text box for users who wish to enter more data.
In traditional PHP/HTML/Javascript this would be dead easy -- two fields; one styled with visibility:hidden; and a short js function on a button to toggle the visibility style of the two fields.
But I can't see how to translate this concept into the Drupal forms API. Can anyone help?
I'm experienced with PHP but an absolute beginner with Drupal, by the way. I'm still feeling my way around it, so please bear with me if I've asked something really obvious.
I solved this one myself. Now that I know Drupal a bit better, it's actually pretty simple (I can see why no-one bothered to answer). In the end I was able to use a pretty similar technique to the traditional methods I mentioned in the question.
