Can't hide other elements while clicking on another

I'm trying to make a toggle which works, but every element I click on creates a stack of these showed elements. Instead I'm trying to hide everything and display only element that I clicked on. Now I can only hide it when I click on the same element twice, which is not what I want. I want to click on one and hide previous ones that were showing.
.totalpoll-choice-image-2 is a bunch of images that always has to be shown. They are what the user clicks on to display hidden description under each image. That description shows up when I click on .totalpoll-choice-image-2. There are 5 images with that class. The next image I click on, I want to hide the previous description box.
My code:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var element = document.getElementsByClassName("totalpoll-choice-image-2");
var elements = Array.prototype.slice.call(Array.from( element ) );
console.log(elements);
jQuery(element).each(function(item) {
jQuery(this).unbind('click').click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
var id = jQuery(this).attr("data-id");
console.log(this);
//jQuery("#" + id).css({"display": 'block !important'});
//document.getElementById(id).style.setProperty( 'display', 'block', 'important' );
var descriptionContainer = document.getElementById(id);
var thiss = jQuery(this);
console.log(thiss);
console.log(jQuery(descriptionContainer).not(thiss).hide());
jQuery(descriptionContainer).toggleClass("show");
});
})
})

You can attach event handlers to a group of DOM elements at once with jQuery. So in this case, mixing vanilla JS with jQuery isn't doing you any favors - though it is possible.
I threw together this little example of what it sounds like you're going for.
The script itself is very simple (shown below). The classes and IDs are different, but the idea should be the same:
// Assign click handlers to all items at once
$('.img').click(function(e){
// Turn off all the texts
$('.stuff').hide();
// Show the one you want
$('#' + $(e.target).data('id')).show();
})
https://codepen.io/meltingchocolate/pen/NyzKMp
You may also note that I extracted the ID from the data-id attribute using the .data() method, and attached the event listener with the .click() method. This is the typical way to apply event handlers across a group of jQuery objects.

From what I understood based on your comments you want to show only description of image that has been clicked.
Here is my solution
$('.container').on('click', 'img', function() {
$(this).closest('.container').find('.image-description').addClass('hidden');
$(this).siblings('p').removeClass('hidden');
});

Also please mind your jquery version, because unbind() is deprecated since 3.0

You can use event delegation so that you only add your event handler once to the parent of your images. This is usually the best method for keeping work the browser has to do down. Adding and removing classes is a clean method for show and hide, because you can see what is happening by looking at your html along with other benefits like being easily able to check if an item is visible with .hasClass().

jQuery click event seems to be kind of late

I'm working on a Facebook reaction bar so it is pretty hard to copy the code here because it has a lot of events binded but all of you got facebook so if you want to check it by yourself - please do it.
The thing is that I managed to move the reaction bar under the react root and now I wanted to make the clicked reaction counter change the background color of itself to green.
And everything is working almost good excluding one thing: it is one click behind. To make you understand better I recorded little example how it looks. The red pulse ring appears when I click: https://vid.me/HqYp
Here is the changing code:
$(this).find('div._iu-[role="toolbar"]').bind('click',function(){
$(this).find('p.counter').each(function(){$(this).css('background-color','#48649F');});
$(this).find('span[aria-pressed="true"]').find('p.counter').css('background-color','green');
});
$(this) is div[id*="post"] so in $(this) I'm getting div with the whole post.
I thought that maybe I should use a callback function after changing-every-counter-to-default-color function but I don't know am I right and if it's right solution.
Thanks from above. (:

You can probably simplify this a bit. Although without the html structure I can't know for sure how the layout of the function works with respect to the event origin. Also I am not sure when the aria-pressed is set to true so I made the function a bit more generic. You simply add a data attribute to target the span you want to be targeted by the click.
<div class="_lu-" role="toolbar" data-target=".facebook-counter">
Later in your javascript you do the following
var $t = $(this);
var $t.target = $(this).data('target');
$t.on('click','div._lu-[role="toolbar"]', function() {
$t.find($t.target).css({
'background-color':'green'
}).siblings().css({'background-color','#48649F'});
});
This code is assuming first that your spans are in the same container, and second that the first $(this) refers to the parent container of this whole toolbar, and last that you have put data-target="" attributes with selectors for the appropriate target you want to affect.
This is a sample:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.toolbar').on('click','.toolbar-item .icon', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
if(!this.$) this.$ = $(this);
if(!this.parent) this.parent = this.$.parent();
if(!this.counter) this.counter = this.$.siblings('.counter');
this.parent.addClass('selected').siblings('.selected').removeClass('selected');
var count = this.counter.data('value');
count++;
this.counter.data('value',count);
this.counter.html(count);
});
});
.toolbar {
font-size:0;
text-align:center;
}
.toolbar-item .icon {
background:#FFF;
padding:30px;
border:1px solid #AAA;
border-radius:100%;
margin:0 20%;
transition:0.8s ease all;
}
.selected .icon {
background:#369;
}
.toolbar-item .counter {
background:#E0E0E0;
margin:0 10px;
transition:0.4s ease background;
}
.selected .counter {
background:#509050;
}
.toolbar-item {
font-size:10pt;
width:25%;
display:inline-block;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="toolbar">
<div class="toolbar-item">
<div class="icon">Like</div>
<div class="counter" data-value="0">0</div>
</div>
<div class="toolbar-item">

As of jQuery 1.7 they introduced the .on('click', function().... method. Try that instead and see if you get the same results.

Quick answer without having tested or the time to test your code. I recently had a performance issue with a nested function, so maybe look at that second line with the .each() method.

stuck with onclick tried google couldn't find answer

i need help getting this to work, tried everything google had to offer.. but still stuck. what i need it to do is load the value of (div id="availablecredits") to (div id="beta") on click. can any body help me out?
onclick="javascript:document.getElementById('beta').value=(javascript:document.getElementById('availablecredits').value)"
i also tried onclick="javascript:document.getElementById('beta').value=('#availablecredits')"

The property value is common for input elements like <input>, <select>, <textarea> and <button>
I think what you want is to copy a content of a <div> element to another div. If it's the case, use innerHTML instead of value.
Here is a snippet, just click on the gray area.
#div-two {
min-height: 20px;
background: #CCC;
}
<div id="div-one">
Hello this is #div-one
</div>
<div id="div-two" onclick="document.getElementById('div-two').innerHTML=document.getElementById('div-one').innerHTML"></div>
SNIPPET #2
You've defined a third <div> which you use as trigger but you can't click it if it's not visible, because it's height is 0. Specify some text inside it, then it's visible and the JS part work. Take a look at the snippet.
#getCredits {
background: #CCC;
}
<div id="beta">0.00</div>
<div id="availablecredits">500</div>
<div id="getCredits" onclick="document.getElementById('beta').innerHTML=document.getElementById('availablecredits').innerHTML">Click here to get available credits</div>
SNIPPET #3 - jQuery
$('#getCredits').click(function() {
$("#beta").html($('#availablecredits').html());
});;
#getCredits {
background: #CCC;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="beta">0.00</div>
<div id="availablecredits">500</div>
<div id="getCredits">Click here to get available credits</div>

Simple javascript function, change the ids in the function call to those of the elements in question.
<script>
function set_value( src,tgt ){
document.getElementById( tgt ).innerHTML=document.getElementById( src ).innerHTML;
}
</script>
<style>.p5{ display:block; padding:1rem; margin:1rem; border:1px solid black;}</style>
<div class='p5' id='src_div' onclick="set_value('src_div','tgt_div')">Weebles wobble but they don't fall down!</div>
<div class='p5' id='tgt_div'></div>
Or you can use a link to set the value

you should try to avoid writing inline event.try this:
<style>
#getCredits {
background: #CCC;
}
</style>
<div id="beta">0.00</div>
<div id="availablecredits">500</div>
<div id="getCredits">Click here to get available credits</div>
<script>
document.getElementById('getCredits').addEventListener("click",function(){
document.getElementById('beta').innerHTML=document.getElementById('availablecredits').innerHTML;
});
</script>
Why inline css and javascript are bad:http://robertnyman.com/2008/11/20/why-inline-css-and-javascript-code-is-such-a-bad-thing/

The .val() method is sometimes useful:
var input = $("#Input").val();

Have created a click effect for a single image, but would like to have the other images have the same effect

I'm at a point where I've tried every other option, but I can't seem to solve this problem. Here's an explanation of the experience:
When visiting the page, the person is introduced to a number of images (tagged with classes, for example two of the images are tagged img01 and img02). When an image is clicked, the image maintains it's place (img01's z-index is risen) while all the other images fade away (DIV with a white fill fades in and covers img02), and a text that explains the piece fades in as well (DIV tagged object-text with img01's supporting text fades in).
While I got the img01 functionality to work, I can't seem to do the same for img02. I'm also planning on adding more tags (such as img03 and img04) and am wondering if there is a smarter, more effective way this can be structured.
For functionality reference, here's a http://jsfiddle.net/kenhimself/nvwzgus0/4/
Below, is the html, css, and the java code.
Thanks in advance!

$(document).click(function () {

$("#object-text").fadeOut("slow");
});

There are a few issues with your code. You should be using unique ID's for each DOM element, and targeting your images by class name. I've made a few changes to your example and restructured it slightly to show you a better approach.
http://jsfiddle.net/nvwzgus0/6/
Wrapped each image in a containing tag, removed duplicate ID's and using class names instead
<a href="#" class="img img01">
<img class="img01" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcepyv1Qfv1ru82ue.jpg"/>
<div class="object-text">
<h1>img01 Text<br/>img01 Text</h1>
</div>
</a>
<a href="#" class="img img02">
<img class="img02" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcepyv1Qfv1ru82ue.jpg"/>
<div class="object-text">
<h1>img02 Text<br/>img02 Text</h1>
</div>
</a>
<div id="filler"></div>
Added CSS class for changing z-index instead of setting it manually, to make it easier to toggle on and off.
a.top {
z-index: 2000;
}
Modified event handling to target new containing tag:
$("a.img").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
$(this).addClass("top");
$(this).find(".object-text").fadeIn("slow");
$("#filler").fadeIn("slow");
});
Modified how images z-index is reset:
$(document).click(function () {
$("#filler").fadeOut("slow", function() {
$("a.img").removeClass("top");
});
$(".object-text").fadeOut("slow");
});

The main problem I see here is that you have two objects with the same id. Change this, and your code should work. I would recommend switching what you have as ids (object) to classes, and what you have as classes (img02 and img01) to ids.
I looked over your code some more and it seems you are doing this a lot. Make sure that when you code you NEVER reuse ids...like ever. Both your a's and your divs have duplicate ids....
Not to be mean, but this does need a lot of work. Feel free to ask any questions if you need more help.

duplicate div then do a horizontal scroll

I'm trying to clone #main then put my ajax result there (hidden), after doing so I will make it scroll horizontally to the left hiding the current one then display the clone.
HTML:
<div class="container">
<div id="main">
<p>Click here to start</p>
</div>
</div>​
CSS:
#main{
width:460px;
min-height:200px;
background:#3F9FD9;
margin:0 auto;
}
.container {
position:relative;
}
​
Javascript:
$('#main').click(function(){
//clone.html(data)
var clone = $(this).clone().html('<p>Ajax loaded content</p>').css(
{position:'absolute',right:'0','margin-right':'-460px',top:0}
).attr('class','love').insertAfter($(this));
$(this).css({position:'relative'});
var width = $(window).width()-$(this).outerWidth()/2;
$('#main').animate({'left':'-'+width},4000);
});
but i'm stuck on the idea on how to make both #main animate to the left and position the second div at the center?
Fiddle
EDIT: Now i'm only stuck on how to animate the clone.

I sort of took a different approach to your question, is this kind of what you are looking for?
http://jsfiddle.net/3s7Fw/5/show
I thought, rather than do some animating ourselves, why not let jQuery's hide function do it for us? This could definitely be made to work better, but it communicates the thought.
JavaScript
$('.container').on('click', '.loaded-content', function(){
$this = $(this);
//clone.html(data)
var clone = $this.clone().html('<p>Ajax loaded content</p>').attr("id", '');
$this.after(clone);
$this.hide('slow');
});​
HTML
<div class="container">
<div id="main" class="loaded-content">
<p>Click here to start</p>
</div>
</div>​
CSS
#main, .loaded-content{
width:460px;
min-height:200px;
background:#3F9FD9;
margin:0 auto;
float: left;
}
.container {
position:relative;
width: 920px;
}
​If this is not the desired functionality, then you might be interested in a slider. There are a number of good slider plugins already out there that you can use. The difficult part would probably be adding a addNewSlide function to your chosen slider, assuming it didn't already have one.
