jQuery toggle show/hide default content

I have a show/hide toggle that switches between content if menu a is clicked.
Before the click function is triggered content is shown in the default div.
For some reason if you click one of the a tag's twice it successfully toggles the content on/off; however you are left with a blank screen
This is a poor user experience.
How can I avoid this and ensure that the default content is shown if a user selects a menu item twice?
$(document).ready(function() {
var $show = $('.show');
$('.menu a').on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$show.not(this).stop().hide(450);
$($(this).attr('href')).stop().toggle(450);
$('.default').addClass('hidden');
});
});
.hidden {
display: none;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="menu">
Screen
Music
Art
Food
</div>
<div id="show-screen" class="show">show screen</div>
<div id="show-music" class="show">show music</div>
<div id="show-art" class="show">show art</div>
<div id="show-food" class="show">show food</div>
<div class="default">default content</div>
Thanks

Although I'd suggest a completely different approach to handle this problem, to make your code work, I'd do something like this.
https://jsfiddle.net/6cnt95ap/1/
$(document).ready(function() {
var $show = $('.show');
$('.menu a').on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$show.not(this).stop().hide(450);
$($(this).attr('href')).stop().toggle(450);
$('.default').addClass('hidden');
window.setTimeout(()=>{
var showDefault = true, divs = $('.show');
divs.each(function(){
if($(this).css("display") !=='none'){
showDefault = false;
return false;
}
});
if(showDefault){
$('.default').removeClass('hidden');
}
}, 500)
});
})

Make div clickable, only when anchor is present in div (multiple divs)

Given a basic structure how can I turn a series of divs into links without turning every div into a link? Here's an example:
<div class="boxes">
<div class="box"><p>Some text with a link</p></div>
<div class="box"><p>Some text without a link</p></div>
<div class="box"><p>Some text with a link</p></div>
<div class="box"><p>Some text without a link</p></div>
</div>
And the associated jQuery I'm using to make the divs clickable:
$(document).ready(function() {
if($('.boxes p a').length){
$(".boxes .box").click(function() {
window.open($(this).find("a").attr("href"));
return false;
});
}
});
The problem I'm running into is the click function gets applied to all divs instead of only those with links.
The desired behavior is to only create a fully clickable div only when an anchor element is found.
For the purposes of this use case, the div (.box) is generated dynamically and wrapping the element in an anchor tag (<div> </div>) is not possible.
Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/fu8xLg0d/

Because you add event listeners on all the .boxes .box classes, which are all your divs.
Just add something like :
$(".boxes .box").has('a')...
to narrow it to those only containing an a element
JSFiddle

use .parent to solve your purpose:
$(document).ready(function() {
if($('.boxes p a').length){
$("a").parent().parent().click(function() {
window.open($(this).find("a").attr("href"));
return false;
});
}
});
But yes, it can even create a problem so i will say to give a class to your link and then call its parent... :)

Plotisateur just beat me by a minute or two! :P
if($('.boxes p a').length){
$(".boxes .box").has('a').click(function() {
window.open($(this).find("a").attr("href"));
return false;
});
Here's the code anyway: https://jsfiddle.net/fu8xLg0d/1/

You can try this.
$(document).ready(function() {
var anchorbox =$(".boxes p a");
if(anchorbox.length>0){
$(anchorbox).parent().click(function() {
window.open($(this).find("a").attr("href"));
return false;
});
}
});

div (.box) is generated dynamically.
Delegate the click event from the body to the target div and on click on the element check if it has anchor tag. For adding the pointer icon create a separate function which will add the icon to the div only if it has an anchor tag as child
$(document).ready(function() {
// separate function to add pointer only if a is present
addClassToElem();
$("body").on('click', '.box', function() {
if ($(this).find('a').length) {
window.open($(this).find("a").attr("href"));
return false;
}
})
});
function addClassToElem() {
$('.box a').each(function(a, b) {
$(this).parent().addClass('linkIcon')
})
}
.linkIcon {
cursor: pointer;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="boxes">
<div class="box">
<p>Some text with a link</p>
</div>
<div class="box">
<p>Some text without a link</p>
</div>
<div class="box">
<p>Some text with a link</p>
</div>
<div class="box">
<p>Some text without a link</p>
</div>
</div>

This little change, helps you to resolve the issue.
$(document).ready(function() {
if($('.boxes p a').length){
$(".boxes .box").click(function() {
if ($(this).children('p').children('a').length) {
window.open($(this).find("a").attr("href"));
return false;
}
});
}
});
the difference from your code is, additionally add a checking
if ($(this).children('p').children('a').length) {
window.open($(this).find("a").attr("href"));
return false;
}

How to focus on a div that has just appeared?

I have this component:
$chevron.on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('.disclaimer-wrapper').slideDown('fast', function() {
$(this).focus();
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<section class="footer">
<div class="disclaimer-wrapper"> //this div is hidden Hidden Content
</div>
</section>
I am trying to click on an anchor ($chevron) and then display the element .disclaimer-wrapper but the document is not focusing or scrolling down to that element when it appears so the user can't see the new content being displayed.
What am I missing?

jQuery Focus does not work on divs, however there is a workaround to that, in simple words, you need to set the tab index of div to -1, like this:
$('#chevron').on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('.disclaimer-wrapper').slideDown('fast', function() {
$(this).attr("tabindex", -1).focus();
});
});
.disclaimer-wrapper {
display: none;
}
.disclaimer-wrapper:focus {
color: red;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<section class="footer">
click
<div class="disclaimer-wrapper"> //this div is hidden Hidden Content
</div>
</section>
here is a fiddle of it, you can check it out.

Show specific div when atag is click. And hide other divs

I'm faily new to jquery and coding in general. I'm having a few troubles with this.
What i want is for when the page loads, the 'Vlogging' link is active and 'Details 1' is shown. Then when you click on either 'Filmmaking' or 'Beme'... 'Details 2 or 3 is shown and which ever one was there goes away.
I have everything set up right so far just need to get it to where when you click on one of the other links the correct 'Details' text shows itself.
Thank you so much and i have it in a fiddle right now!
http://jsfiddle.net/t1huc43d/
Here is the code than needs tuned:
$(function() {
$("togglediv1").click(function() {
$("#togglediv1").removeClass("display-start");
$("li").removeClass("display");
$(this).addClass("display");
});
});

This code will save you a lot of time. I added a custom attribute called "data". This attribute is used to tie the link to the tab you wish to display. This code will make it a lot easier to add additional tabs and etc. Look at the bottom for the changed HTML and JavaScript.
<div id="wrap">
<ul id="divtoggle">
<li><a class="link" data="1">Vlogging</a></li>
<li><a class="link" data="2"> Filmmaking</a></li>
<li><a class="link" data="3"> Beme</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="text">
<div class="tab" data="1">Details 1</div>
<div class="tab" data="2">Details 2</div>
<div class="tab" data="3">Details 3</div>
</div>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function () {
$(".link").click(function () {
$(".active").removeClass("active");
$(this).addClass("active");
dataAttr = $(this).attr("data");
$(".tab").hide();
$(".tab[data="+dataAttr+"]").show();
});
$(".link:first").click();
});
</script>

$(function() {
$("#togglediv1").click(function() {
$("#one").removeClass("display");
$("#one").addClass("display-start");
$("#two").removeClass("display-start");
$("#two").addClass("display");
$("#three").removeClass("display-start");
$("#three").addClass("display");
});
});
$(function() {
$("#togglediv2").click(function() {
$("#one").removeClass("display-start");
$("#one").addClass("display");
$("#two").removeClass("display");
$("#two").addClass("display-start");
$("#three").addClass("display");
$("#three").removeClass("display-start");
});
});
...

Since your ids aren't that conducive in tracking what is clicked and what isn't, I decided to just use this to find what you've clicked in correspondence with the details.
Your updated javascript:
$(function() {
$("li").click(function() {
$("#togglediv1").removeClass("active-start");
$("li").removeClass("active");
$(this).addClass("active");
let temp = $("#divtoggle").children();
var index;
for (let i = 0; i < temp.length; i++)
{
if (this == temp[i] )
{
index = i;
break;
}
}
$(".display-start").addClass("display");
$(".display-start").removeClass("display-start");
let text_children = $(".text").children()
let the_child = text_children[index];
$(text_children[index]).addClass("display-start");
$(text_children[index]).removeClass("display");
});
});

JQuery actually has some components to help you out, but to me, the shortest and CLEANEST way of doing this is the following:
The first thing I'd do is set an id of each of the titles, incrementing them by 1. Then, I'd do the same for the details like so:
<div id="wrap">
<ul id="divtoggle">
<li><a class="title" id="title-1">Vlogging</a></li>
<li><a class="title" id="title-2"> Filmmaking</a></li>
<li><a class="title" id="title-3"> Beme</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="text">
<div class='display' id="detail-1">Details 1</div>
<div class='display' id="detail-2">Details 2</div>
<div class='display' id="detail-3">Details 3</div>
</div>
</div>
After that, the JQuery is pretty simple. Setup a click event on the class title. The first thing to do is to parse the id of the clicked title. Once you have that, target the related detail and show it:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".title").click(function() {
//*** get id
var id = $(this).attr("id").split("-")[1];
if (typeof id != "undefined"){
//*** hide other descriptions and show yours
$(".display").hide();
$("#detail-" + id).show();
}
});
});

Here you go. Simplified your CSS a little. Toggling a .active class on the top links, and a .display class on the text divs. When you click on a link, the code uses the $.index() of that link in the list as the index of the text div to show. So if you click on the 2nd link, it will show the 2nd text box.
$(function() {
$toggleLinks = $('#divtoggle a'),
$displays = $('.text div');
$toggleLinks.on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$toggleLinks.removeClass('active');
$(this).addClass('active');
$displays.removeClass('display');
$displays.eq($(this).closest('li').index()).addClass('display');
});
});
li {
color: grey;
font: effra;
font-weight: bold;
}
a:hover {
color: #aaaaaa;
cursor: pointer;
}
.active {
color: orange;
}
.text div {
display: none;
}
.text .display {
display: block;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="wrap">
<ul id="divtoggle">
<li><a class="active">Vlogging</a></li>
<li><a>Filmmaking</a></li>
<li><a>Beme</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="text">
<div class='display'>Details 1</div>
<div>Details 2</div>
<div>Details 3</div>
</div>
</div>

Preserved as much of your existing code as possible. Updated fiddle.
I added a data-controls custom attribute to each of your li elements so as to associate them to each of the corresponding data divs:
<li data-controls="one"><a id="togglediv1" class="active-start">Vlogging</a></li>
<li data-controls="two"><a id="togglediv2"> Filmmaking</a></li>
<li data-controls="three"><a id="togglediv3"> Beme</a></li>
Then I updated the JavaScript to remove and add the classes, as needed.

Change background of div when clicked/toggled

Hey guys I would like to be able to add a background behind the text "CLICK ME" when clicked, so it stays active until de-clicked. I currently have a slide and toggle format which is shown here, but I have been unable to figure out where I can add another active class within the current script.
http://jsfiddle.net/schermerb/rAMQT/
<div class="toggleBtn">CLICK ME</div>
<div class="below">OH NO IM HIDDEN</div>
<div class="toggleBtn">CLICK ME</div>
<div class="below">OH NO IM HIDDEN</div>
<div class="toggleBtn">CLICK ME</div>
<div class="below">OH NO IM HIDDEN</div>
<div class="toggleBtn">CLICK ME</div>
<div class="below">OH NO IM HIDDEN</div>
.toggleBtn {
font:14px noral Futura, sans-serif;
color:black;
margin:50px;
}
.below {
background:red;
}
$(document).ready(function () {
var content = $('.below').hide();
$('.toggleBtn').on('click', function () {
$(this).next('.below').slideToggle();
return false;
});
//register the handler to button element inside .below
$('.below .close').on('click', function () {
//find the ancestor .below element of the clicked button
$(this).closest('.below').slideToggle();
});
});

You can toggle an active class:
In your JS: (note the $(this).toggleClass('active') line)
$('.toggleBtn').on('click', function () {
$(this).next('.below').slideToggle();
$(this).toggleClass('active');
return false;
});
CSS:
.toggleBtn.active{
background:blue;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/rAMQT/3/

Do like this:
Add an active class to the elment the clicked.
and when the slideToggle complete remove this class;
Javascript
$(document).ready(function () {
var content = $('.below').hide();
$('.toggleBtn').on('click', function () {
var self = this;
$(this).addClass("active");
$(this).next('.below').slideToggle(function(){
$(self).removeClass("active");
});
return false;
});
//register the handler to button element inside .below
$('.below .close').on('click', function () {
var self = this;
$(this).addClass("active");
//find the ancestor .below element of the clicked button
$(this).closest('.below').slideToggle(function(){
$(self).removeClass("active");
});
});
});
Css
.active {
background-color: blue;
}
jsFiddle

$(document).ready(function () {
var content = $('.below').hide();
$('.toggleBtn').on('click', function () {
$(this).next('.below').slideToggle();
if ( $( this ).hasClass( 'active' )){
$(this).removeClass('active');
}else{
$(this).addClass('active');
}
return false;
});
//register the handler to button element inside .below
$('.below .close').on('click', function () {
//find the ancestor .below element of the clicked button
$(this).closest('.below').slideToggle();
});
});
Here is the JSFIDDLE with the working code
