How To Create A Client-Sided Search Bar Using Javascript

I'm trying to create a client-sided search bar using javascript and I'm not sure how to do that and get it to function properly. I'm trying to create one without using PHP since I have no experience with server-sided programming. How would you create one that works with the client-side? Do you need an index for the search results and an API as well? And how would you use an index and an API? The goal of the search bar is to find terms or words that are present on the webpage is what I'm trying to achieve with it. It's to give the user a chance to search for the name of an article present in the webpage. Here is my current code if you want to see it: https://jsfiddle.net/snt87eg9/1/
<div class="topnav">
<a class="active" href="#home">Home</a>

</form>
</div>

<div class="header">
<div id ="header">

You need a way to select the searchbar, articles and article titles,
lets say you give classes article and article-title and give the searchbar id="searchbar"
Document should look like this:
<div class="topnav">
<a class="active" href="#home">Home</a>

<div class="search-container">
<form action="/action_page.php">
<input type="text" placeholder="Search.." name="search" id="searchbar">
<button type="submit"><i class="fa fa-search"></i></button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
<div class="header">
<div id="header">
<h2 style="text-indent: 1em; font-family: Helvetica; color: blue;">Articles</h2>
</div>
</div><br>
<div class="row article">
<div class="leftcolumn">
<div class="card">
<div id="Title">
<a href="#">
<h2 class="article-title">Article 1</h2>
</a>
<h5>Date</h5>
<p>Some text over there.,.. </p>
</div>

<div class="row article">

<a href="#">
<h2 class="article-title">Article 2</h2>
</a>
<h5>Date</h5>
<p> Some text over here..... </p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here's the way to filter out what you wrote in the searchbar:
<script>
$('#searchbar').keyup(function(){
let articles = $('.article'); //get all elements with class="article"
let keyword = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); //get the content of the searchbar
if(keyword == "") //show all elements if searchbar is empty
articles.show();
else{ //else loop through articles and check if the keyword is in the title div
articles.each(function(element) {
let title = $(this).find('.article-title').text().toLowerCase();
(title.indexOf(keyword) >= 0) ? $(this).show() : $(this).hide();
});
}
});
</script>
The script uses jQuery , you can put this before the script if you don't have it already imported :
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>

I just took the time to make a client-side search javascript function. But if you are not too familiar with javascript try to learn a little bit more before implementing this type of things.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#header").hide().fadeIn(2000);
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#title").hide().fadeIn(2000);
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#footer").hide().fadeIn(2000);
});
function searchInArticles(word) {
const articles = document.querySelectorAll(".card");
articles.forEach(article => {
if (article.innerHTML.includes(word)) {
article.style.display = "block";
article.scrollIntoView();
} else {
article.style.display = "none";
}
})
}
searchInArticles("Yes");
//searchInArticles("Some");

I have scenario where I want to click on specific div and then this div append to another div ( selected day)
and then I want to switch between appended divs for showing selected div (day) (for functionality like tabs).
Problem is that all div are showing and I don't know how to manage thoose selected divs
Does somebody know how to achieve this?

You need to empty the div first then append the DATA or use .html() directly and it will overrite the data:
$('.selected-day').html('').append( $(this).clone() );
//OR
$('.selected-day').html( $(this).clone() );
NOTE: You don't have to loop using .each() to attach the click event to all the divs just use the selector directly like :
$('.day-col-content').on('click', function() {
...
});
SAMPLE
$('.day-col-content').on('click', function() {
$('.day-col').removeClass('selected');
$(this).parent().addClass('selected');
$('.selected-day').html($(this).clone());
});
.selected-day {
background-color: yellow
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="day-col">
<div class="day-col-content">
<p class="weather">
day 1
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="day-col">
<div class="day-col-content">
<p class="weather">
day 2
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="day-col">
<div class="day-col-content">
<p class="weather">
day 3
</p>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="selected-day"></div>

Hi I'm not sure about your styling but this would work as a custom tab version
$(document).on('click','.day-col-content',function(){
$('.day-col').removeClass('selected')
$(this).parent('.day-col').addClass('selected');
$('.selected-day').html($(this).clone());
$('.selected-day .day-col-content').addClass('selected');
});
.day-col.selected {
color:green
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="day-col">
<div class="day-col-content">
<p class="weather">
content 1
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="day-col">
<div class="day-col-content">
<p class="weather">
content 2
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="day-col">
<div class="day-col-content">
<p class="weather">
content 3
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="selected-day"></div>

Use jQuery or JS to hide div on different dropdown selection

When I select an option from the dropdown, a set of buttons associated with that selection appears in a div (where it should). I then click one of those buttons which causes a second div to appear (#info, green background) and content associated with the button to appear inside of the div (as intended).
My issue is this:
Once the second div has appeared, if I go back to the initial dropdown and select a different option, I want the green #info div to disappear, where it currently stays visible and contains the content associated with the last button clicked despite having selected a different dropdown option.
I would SO appreciate any help anyone can provide! Thanks so much for taking a look. So grateful to have access to all of your smart brainz.
Here is my Fiddle
$(document).ready(function() {
$("select").change(function() {
$(this).find("option:selected").each(function() {
if ($(this).attr("value") == "red") {
$(".box").not(".red").hide();
$(".red").show();
} else if ($(this).attr("value") == "green") {
$(".box").not(".green").hide();
$(".green").show();
} else if ($(this).attr("value") == "blue") {
$(".box").not(".blue").hide();
$(".blue").show();
} else {
$(".box").hide();
}
});
}).change();
$('.buttons button').click(function() {
$('#info').empty();
$('#info').html($("#" + $(this).data('link')).html());
});
});
.box {
padding: 20px;
margin-top: 20px;
border: 1px solid #000;
width: 200px;
height: 250px;
padding: 0px;
display: inline-block;
float: left;
}
#button-column {
text-align: center;

}
button {
font-size: 12px;

text-align: center;
}

}

</div>

Here's an updated Fiddle.
You just need to hide and show the #info div on change or load.
So anytime the dropdown changes, that #info div will hide. And then, if someone clicks a button, it will show. That show() function will always run, but will be ignored if you're clicking on the button multiple times.
});
$("#info").hide(); // Hide
}).change();
$('.buttons button').click(function (){
$("#info").show(); // Show
$('#info').empty();
$('#info').html($("#" + $(this).data('link')).html());
});

My JS is not working with my html/css. Not sure why. (Console error 'ReferenceError: $ is not defined')

I am trying to create a content slider, and am having difficulties with it functioning appropriately. Specifically when testing locally the aspect that is not working is: (When you click the arrows left or right the current-slide fades out and fades back in but the slide content does not switch to the next block of content.)
Here is my HTML:

NOTE: I only put the sections of html/js/css that matter for this case. And I used placeholders for some text and images. On my local machine those placeholders are replaced with correct content.

if you look at the HTML closely, you'll see that the slider div's are not positioned properly. all the other div's with the class '.slide' are enclosed inside <div class="slide active-slide"> whereas they should be independent of each other.
the javascript code is not able to find the next() slide since they're all contained in one single parent which is the 'active-slide'
you need to update your HTML to the following
<div class="slider">
<div class="slide active-slide">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="slide-copy col-xs-5">

here's a working JSFIDDLE for the same. hope this helps

You just need to include the jQuery library from here: http://jquery.com/download/

You will get this error if you haven't included jquery file or you are getting conflicts in jquery.
ReferenceError: $ is not defined
Add following in Head section of your code:
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>

Jquery toggleclass in separate divs

I'm using the js from bootstrap to do a div collapse on a Wordpress gallery page but I can't get the toggle function to work. When you click on another item, the first item doesn't collapse. It stays open. You can see it the link to the dev site: Dev site link
I'm not using the accordion bootstrap setup as I wanted each collapsing div to occupy the same space below the row of triggering links.
I've asked this question from a bootstrap point of view but got no answers. So I'm wondering if there's a way of doing it using Jquery toggleclass?
Bootstrap applies the class 'in' to the expanded item. So I guess I'd need to have toggle class remove that? I found and tried to adapt some Jquery but no luck.
A simplified version of the code is:
<div id="desktop-view">
<div id="gallery-squares-1" class="gallery-squares clearfix">
<a href="#collapseExample-1" class="ie-bgsize gallery-img" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#desktop-view">
<div class="img-mouse-over"></div>
</a><!-- .post-gallery-img -->
<a href="#collapseExample-2" class="ie-bgsize gallery-img" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#desktop-view">
<div class="img-mouse-over"></div>
</a><!-- .post-gallery-img -->
<a href="#collapseExample-3" class="ie-bgsize gallery-img" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#desktop-view">
<div class="img-mouse-over"></div>
</a><!-- .post-gallery-img -->
</div> <!-- .gallery-squares -->
<div id="gallery-expanders-1" class="gallery-expanders clearfix">
<div class="collapse" id="collapseExample-1">
<div class="gallery-content">
<div class="ie-bgsize gallery-content-img"></div>
<h6>Title</h6>
<p>Description</p>
</div> <!-- .gallery-content -->
</div> <!-- .collapse -->
<div class="collapse" id="collapseExample-2">
<div class="gallery-content">
<div class="ie-bgsize gallery-content-img"></div>
<h6>Title</h6>
<p>Description</p>
</div> <!-- .gallery-content -->
</div> <!-- .collapse -->
<div class="collapse" id="collapseExample-3">
<div class="gallery-content">
<div class="ie-bgsize gallery-content-img"></div>
<h6>Title</h6>
<p>Description</p>
</div> <!-- .gallery-content -->
</div> <!-- .collapse -->
</div> <!-- .gallery-expanders -->
</div>
CSS:
a.gallery-img {
width: 15%;
padding-bottom: 15%;
margin: 0 1.6666666% 1.6666666% 0;
display: block;
float: left;
position: relative;
background-color: #fff;
}
.gallery-content {
background-color: black;
margin-bottom: 1.6666666%;
color: #fff;
padding: 1.6666666%;
}
.gallery-content-img {
width: 98.5%;
padding-bottom: 50%;
margin-bottom: 1.8%;
}
.gallery-content h6 {
color: #fff;
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 1.2em;
margin: 0;
width: 98.5%;
}
.gallery-content p {
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 1.2em;
margin: 1% 0;
width: 98.5%;
}
.gallery-content p:last-child {
margin-bottom: 0;
}
.img-mouse-over {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
position: absolute;
background: none;
}
.img-mouse-over:hover,
.img-mouse-over:active {
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) no-repeat center center;
}
JQuery I tried:
$('.gallery-squares a').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$('.collapse').removeClass('in');
});
I just can't get it to remove the active class on 'in'. I guess I'd also need to make sure it only removed the 'in' from the current active div and not the one that the click will create?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

you'll have to remove the in class and add the collapse class.
$(document).on('show.bs.collapse', function () {
$('.in').addClass('collapse').removeClass('in');
})

Okay, so if we never want the in class there...
$(document).on('shown.bs.collapse', function () {
$('.in').removeClass('in');
})
or possibly on the 'show event:
$(document).on('show.bs.collapse', function () {
$('.in').removeClass('in');
})
(I'm not sure which one since I don't know when it adds the class in)
See the docs for the collapse events here
