How to change add and remove tags with JS in django template

I have a quiz Django app which consists of two parts. One is showing 10 sentences with their audio to remember, one per page, and the second is asking questions for the same set of sentences. First part was set up with js function which creates pagination in my html the following way:
my_template.html
<button id="prev">prev</button>
<button id="next">next</button>
<ul class="list-articles" id="dd">
</ul>
<script>
var my_objects = `{{ my_objects|safe}}:` #list of items from my view function
function paginate(action) {
console.log(action)
if (action ==='next') {
page_number++;
}
else{
page_number--;
}
const audio = document.createElement('audio');
audio.src =`/media/${my_objects[page_number].fields.audio}`;
$('#dd').empty();
$('#dd').append('<li><h1>'+ my_objects[page_number].fields['content'] +'</h1></li>');
$('#dd').append(audio);
$('#page_number').val(page_number);
}
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
document.querySelector('#next').onclick = function() {
paginate('next'); #same goes for 'prev' button.
}
})
</script>
Now when the user paginated through all the sentences I want to show the continue button and if the user clicks it, start the second part. The second part has absolutely same page except I need to hide content of my objects and leave only audio or vice versa and add textarea tag for the user's input. After that I need to loop over my objects again - now in the form of questions. I need to do that without page re-rendering so I don't need to store the list of objects or query the DB again.
I tried to make it with tag disabling and activating the second loop after the first ends but that looks quite messy and I suppose there is a smarter way of doing that. I'm not a JS developer so any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for all who viewed and not commented! I found the answer myself. Just need to add JS functions which will empty the main tag and refill with necessary field.
Details: By accessing elements of DOM in the following way you can empty any element on a web page. For example, if we have a div like:
<div class= id="maindiv">
<h2> Hello, world! </h2>
</div>
We can empty and refill it with a new header:
var container = document.getElementById("maindiv");
container.empty();
new_header = document.createElement('h2');
new_header.innerHTML = 'Hello, brave new world!'
container.append(new_header);
Same applies to the whole web-page. The only thing is, if it is too big, you probably going to be tired of manipulating the DOM each time. So, you may want to check out some frameworks like React to make it easier .

How to remove a class via JavaScript (NOT jQuery) at Wordpress

I need your help at a problem of my Wordpress Webpage. My Wordpress-page is an Single-Page-App with 3 different boxes of content. The left and center boxes are static, the right one changes its content by clicking on links of the other boxes. I decided, to load all the content in the right box and show them with the CSS-command visibility. With a combination of pathJS and JS, i want the URL to change by clicking on the links. So far so good - all works fine, but i dont get managed via my JS-Function to remove the shown-class.
My script looks like this:
<script>
function showDetailContent(showid) {
//suche objekt right_id -> was du zeigen willst -> getelementbyid
alert("1");
var id = document.getElementsByClassName('shown');
alert("2");
id.classList.remove('shown');
alert("3");
document.getElementByID("right_" + showid).classList.add('shown');
alert("4");
}
//var c = document.getElementById('content'); -->do the function :)
Path.map("#/?p=<?php the_id();?>").to(function () {
showDetailContent(<?php the_id();?>);
});
Path.listen();
</script>
The alerts are just my way of "debugging". I think its not the best way to debugg, but i am very new in the world of prorgamming and this is kind of easy.
However, the first two alerts are shown, if i activate a link. So the (first) mistake is on the line
id.classList.remove('shown');
Normally, the right-box is hidden, so that only one content is load.
Do you understand my problem till here?
I would appreciate fast help!
Greetings, Yannic! :)

Look at this : http://snipplr.com/view/3561/ to know remove class pure javascript

getElementsByClassName gets multiple elements, try:
var id = document.getElementsByClassName('shown')[0];
Or iterate through them if you want to remove class from all elements with class shown;

Create own numpad with inputs

I've been searching the web for some tips regarding how to make your own numpad, created with html code, to act as a numpad would on the computer.
I have this numpad on my website that would give an input to a textfield in the same div. I've given a value to each button and now I guess I would have to create something more so that the numbers will add to my text field.
I'm really a beginner with programming so maybe this is really easy. Thanks for the help!

You could do it, alternatively, with jQuery. jQuery is better IMHO if you need a simple easy solution (jQuery is generally easier and faster).
HTML:
<div id="myDiv"> </div> //the div to which we add text
<div id="buttonContainer"> //this is the div containing the numbers (the numpad)
<button value="one"> one </button>
<button value="two"> two </button>
</div>
jQuery:
$("#buttonContainer button").click(function() {
$("#myDiv").append($(this).val());
});
http://jsfiddle.net/DLzUU/1/
What this does is: when you click any button inside the div with id of 'buttonContainer', it adds its value to the div with the id of "myDiv".
On the Javascript subject, if you want a VERY good guide: http://javascript.info/

what you need is to learn javascript. With javascript you will be able to write code to do this.
<script>
function AddValueToTextField(val)
{
document.getElementByID( <textfiled ID> ).value += val;
}
</script>
<button onClick="AddValueToTextField(this.value)"></button>
this is only very basic but it is a rough idea of what is needed, the button is set to call the function "AddValueToTextField" when it is clicked. When the function is called the value of the button is sent along with it. Inside the function it gets a handle on the textfield and adds the value of the button to whatever was already there, I'd suggest looking at:
http://www.w3schools.com/js/
as a place to start learning javascript.

you can try http://keith-wood.name/keypad.htmlkeypad example, this is an awesome example

$(document).ready(function(){
var selected;
$(".admin_loginid input").focus(function(){
selected = $(this);
});
$(".loginbtn").click(function(){
selected.val(selected.val() + $(this).val());
});
});
Solved it that way and it works really well, thanks for the help! Now my selected input box takes the input from the numpad that i've created.

How to add jquery events to added classes?

I am trying to create an image gallery, I am using numbers instead of left/right arrows. At the moment, I am trying to get it working with only 2 image (i.g 2 numbers)
this is the html . the id page, is the highlighted number
<div class="grid_1 pagelink" id="page"><p>1</p></div>
<div class="grid_1 pagelink"><p>2</p></div>
the first time the page loads, the code below works. so when I click on link 2 the the code bellow runs fine. But then I want the same code to be triggered when I click back on the first link; but when I do that, the page refreshes by ignoring the code bellow:
$('.pagelink').live('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var frame = $(this).text() - 1;
var frames = 240 * frame;
// $('#gal').animate({marginLeft:'500px'},'slow');
$('#gal').animate({marginLeft: "+="+frames+'px'},'slow');
$(this).attr('id', 'page').removeClass('pagelink');
$('#page').addClass('pagelink').removeAttr('id','page');
// $('#book').animate({ left: '50' });
})
I thought that the .live() would do that for me but it is not working.
I hope you could help
thank you

Previous, this is because you are removing the class of link "pagelink" which were used to map the clicked event.
Also, use another class instead of id(#page) to identify the #page link, id might be problem if its already assign to other link. like
$(this).removeClass('pagelink').addClass('page');
$('.page').addClass('pagelink').removeClass('page');

live should work fine. i think you have a bug in your code, and its probably here:
$(this).attr('id', 'page').removeClass('pagelink');
$('#page').addClass('pagelink').removeAttr('id','page');
what exactly are you trying to accomplish with this code?
when you click on page2, the you set the div's id to be page, but now you have 2 elements with an id of page, and when you select that id, you get the first one (ie page1), but you still remove the class pagelink from page2
in other words, the bug is that at some point you will have 2 elements with the same id (and ids must be unique btw) so when you select that id with $('#page') you always get the first one

Getting my head around jQuery

OK, I'm designing a site and thought I'd stick some jQuery in as I really need so js experience.
Page with my problem is here: http://new.focalpix.co.uk/moreinfo.php
JS in question is:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".answer").css("display","none");
$("#maincontent a.animate").click(function() {
$("#maincontent .answer").slideUp('slow');
var id = $(this).attr('href');
$(id).slideDown('slow');
return false;
});
});
This works fine, but if you click on a link where the answer has already slid down, then it slides up, then back down again.
I'm not sure on the cleanest way to stop this happening - any ideas?

You should be using the .slideToggle() effect.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".answer").css("display","none");
$("#maincontent a.animate").click(function() {
$("#maincontent .answer").slideToggle('slow');
});
});

First, I'd suggest the following structure for your faq's:
<div id="faq">
<div class="qa" id="faq_greenandflies">
<span class="q">What is green and flies</span>
<div class="a">
Super Pickle!
</div>
</div>
<div class="qa" id="faq_redandbadforteeth">
<span class="q">What is Red and bad for your teeth</span>
<div class="a">
a Brick
</div>
</div>
<!--
More FAQ's here
-->
</div>
and then defining your jQuery as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
// hide all answers
$('div#faq .qa .a').hide();
// bind a click event to all questions
$('div#faq .qa .q a').bind(
'click',
function(e){
// roll up all of the other answers (See Ex.1)
$(this).parents('.qa').siblings().children('.a').slideUp();
// reveal this answer (See Ex.2)
$(this).parents('.qa').children('.a').slideDown();
// return true to keep any other click events
return true;
});
// check location.hash to see if we need to expand one (direct link)
$(location.hash).find('.q a').click();
});
</script>
Explanation:
(Ex.1)
this is the link that was clicked
get the element that contains this and has a class of 'qa' (the box that contains both question and answer)
select all of its siblings. (we now have all qa's as a jQ object)
hide the answers
(Ex.2)
this is the line or link that was clicked
get the element that contains this and has a class of 'qa' (the box that contains both question and answer)
reveal the answer
A working demo is here.
This does several things for you:
If a user deep-links to an answer, the answer is automatically revealed
If a user clicks on one answer, all other answers are hidden
You can give your divs proper ids, so which helps search engine optimization of links to individual answers

Use slideToggle() like Soviut said, but just as a tip -- you can declare the display property in the actual CSS file instead of declaring it inside the javascript. jQuery will pick up on the fact that it is hidden in the stylesheet and still perform the appropriate slide function.
You can also use $(".answer").hide();
Instead of setting the display CSS property. Just thought I would let you know.

try using the one method, something like:
$(selector).one('effect', 'data for effect', callback function);
it makes sure an effect only happens once per element.
