When click on button, show divs with checked checkbox using JQuery

I want to use JQuery on my Coldfusion application for showing/hiding div elements with checkbox checked/unchecked within the div.
Basically, in a view I show multiple divs elements, every div have also more divs inside, one of these internal divs contains an input type checkbox that could come checked or unchecked.
I also have three buttons in that view 'Active, Inactive, All'. When clicking on Active I want to show all div elements with checkbox checked, not showing the unchecked, and the other way around when clicking on Inactive.
<div class="btn-group ">
<button id="actives" type="button">Actives</button>
<button id="inactives" type="button">Inactives</button>
<button id="all" type="button">All</button>
</div>
<div id="apiDiv">
<cfloop array="#apis#" index="api">
<div class="card card-found">
<div class="card-header">
<cfif Len(api.iconClass)>
<i class="fa fa-fw #api.iconClass#"></i>
</cfif>
#structKeyExists( api, "name" ) ? api.name : api.id#
</div>
<div class="card-body">
<p>#api.description#</p>
</div>
<div class="card-button">
<input class="#inputClass# ace ace-switch ace-switch-3" name="#inputName#" id="#inputId#-#api.id#" type="checkbox" value="#HtmlEditFormat( api.id )#"<cfif ListFindNoCase( value, api.id )> checked="checked"</cfif> tabindex="#getNextTabIndex()#">
<span class="lbl"></span>
</div>
</div>
</cfloop>
</div>
I´m not an expert at all with JQuery. The only thing I have done is what follows and I do not know whether if is a good beggining or not:
$("#actives").click(function (e) {
$("#apiDiv .card").filter(function() {
<!--- code here --->
});
});
Someone please that can help me with it? Thanks a lot in advance!

After your CF code executes, it will generate a .card for each loop iteration of your apis array. So you jQuery code will need a click handler for the #actives button and that will loop through each() iteration of the checkboxes to determine the checked/unchecked state. At that point find the closest() ancestor .card and show()/hide() the .card depending upon the checkbox state.
$("#actives").click(function (e) {
$('input[type=checkbox]').each(function() {
if (this.checked) {
$(this).closest(".card").show();
} else {
$(this).closest(".card").hide();
}
});
});

If you want to do it with jQuery code:
$('#actives').click(function(){
$('#apiDiv').show();
});
Working Fiddle

The code you are probably looking for is in these event handlers for your buttons:
function activesHandler() {
jQuery(".card-button > input:checked").parents(".card.card-found").show();
jQuery(".card-button > input:not(:checked)").parents(".card.card-found").hide();
}
function inactivesHandler() {
jQuery(".card-button > input:checked").parents(".card.card-found").hide();
jQuery(".card-button > input:not(:checked)").parents(".card.card-found").show();
}
function allHandler() {
jQuery(".card.card-found").show();
}
jQuery("#actives").click(activesHandler);
jQuery("#inactives").click(inactivesHandler);
jQuery("#all").click(allHandler);
I reproduced some of your ColdFusion by replacing it with JavaScript and provided a demonstration of the above event handlers in this JSFiddle.

Call the checkbox by its id and when it's checked, write a function to display the divs you want to display:
<input type="checkbox" id="check">
$document.getElementById("check").onclick = function(){
$document.getElementById("div_name").style.display="block"; // block displays the div.
}

Select items from different lists at the same time

This is the HTML I got to do a button click event to control selected items in more than one list.
$('#button').click(function(){
var $next = $('.section.selected').removeClass('selected').next('.section')
if ($next.length) {
$next.addClass('selected');
}
else {
$(".section:first").addClass('selected');
}
});
//On click I select next div with same class and remove selected from previous.
//How to loop? After 3 is selected, I want it to go to one again.
.selected { background:red }
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="all">
<div class="section selected">ONE</div>
<div class="section">TWO</div>
<div class="section">THREE</div>
</div>
<div id="all">
<div class="section selected">ONE</div>
<div class="section">TWO</div>
<div class="section">THREE</div>
</div>
<br />
CLICK
However, because the items are using the same class name, at the end, the script can't decide which one is first / last item.
Can anyone give me an idea?

To get the items, use Queries like first-child, last-child and so on.
For more detals, Check jQuery API Documentation

Use this instead $(".section:first-child").addClass('selected') in your else condition

Getting div containers to display hidden and then show with a button

I am creating an admin panel and I have a panel on the left side of my page that I want to bring up different data.
I created a JSFiddle to show what I am doing.
The issue I am having is I want the dashboard home message...
<div id="dashboard_home">Welcome to the Admin Dashboard</div>
To be the only div that shows up on page load. Then when a panel seletion is clicked on, for the dashboard home message to go away and then only that new panel selection's div to show up.
Then once another panel selection is clicked on, I want the previous selection to hide and the new one to display and so fourth for all of the selections.
What do I need to do?
HTML
<div class="panel_out">
<div class="panel">
<input type='button' class="panel_buttons" id='user_request_button' value='User Requests'>
<input type='button' class="panel_buttons" id='message_button' value='Message Center'>
<input type='button' class="panel_buttons" id='draft_order_button' value='Draft Order'>
<input type='button' class="panel_buttons" id='draft_input_button' value='Draft Input'>
<input type='button' class="panel_buttons" id='announcements_button' value='Announcements'>
<input type='button' class="panel_buttons" id='dues_button' value='League Dues'>
</div>
</div>
<div class="dashboard_selection">
<div id='user_requests'>User Requests</div>
<div id='message_center'>Message Center</div>
<div id='draft_order'>Draft Order</div>
<div id='draft_input'>Draft Input</div>
<div id='announcements'>Announcements</div>
<div id='dues'>Leauge Dues</div>
</div>
JS
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
jQuery('#user_request_button').on('click', function (event) {
jQuery('#user_requests').toggle('hide');
});
jQuery('#message_button').on('click', function (event) {
jQuery('#message_center').toggle('hide');
});
jQuery('#draft_order_button').on('click', function (event) {
jQuery('#draft_order').toggle('hide');
});
jQuery('#draft_input_button').on('click', function (event) {
jQuery('#draft_input').toggle('show');
});
jQuery('#announcements_button').on('click', function (event) {
jQuery('#announcements').toggle('show');
});
jQuery('#dues_button').on('click', function (event) {
jQuery('#dues').toggle('show');
});
});

Demo
You're adding far too many bespoke events when you don't need to. Normalise your IDs to match the button IDs and derive one from the other,
e.g. <input id='user_requests_button' /> finds <div id="user_requests">
Show the div you want, then use siblings() to get the elements that you want hidden, and hide them.
Trigger the click event on the first button on load to show the first one only when the page loads (if you don't do this with CSS).
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
$('.panel_out input').on('click', function(){
// derive the ID
var id_to_show = '#' + this.id.replace('_button', '');
// show one and hide the others
$(id_to_show).show().siblings().hide();
}).first().trigger('click'); // trigger the first on page load
});
Trigger the click event on the first button on load to show the first one only when the page loads (if you don't do this with CSS).

On a click hide all panels first. And then open the desired one with .show()
So i would do it this way:
$('.panel').click(function(e){
$('.panel').hide();
$(e.currentTarget).closest('panel').show();
});

Jquery Hover - allow hover on another DIV the appears on hover of a button

I have a homepage with 4 buttons. When hovered over a button, a menu appears behind the buttons. When you hover over another button, a different colored menu appears in it's place.
Currently, I can get the buttons to show the menus, but when I hover onto the menus (and hover off the button) I lose the menu.
Here's my simple code:
Jquery at top:
$(".mybutton").hover(
function () {
$(".mybox").fadeIn();
},
function () {
$(".mybox").fadeOut();
}
);
$(".mybutton2").hover(
function () {
$(".mybox2").fadeIn();
},
function () {
$(".mybox2").fadeOut();
}
);
And my HTML:
<div class="mybox">
<div style="position: absolute;">
Item 1
Item 2
</div>
</div>
<div class="buttons">
<div class="mybutton">
/* Button image here */
</div>
<div class="mybutton2">
/* Button 2 image here */
</div>
</div>
So I need some way to keep the box that fades in active when it is hovered over. I was thinking of not doing the callback for the fadeout, and somehow only doing the fadeout if they fade off the .mybox DIV or if they hover over another button. But it's a little unclear to me how to accomplish that.
Thanks in advance.

you need to include your menu and the button inside a container and have a hover event on the container. this way your menu will be visible as long as you're hovering over the container.
here's what you need to do.
declare the container like this with your menu and button both inside it.
<div id='container'>
<div class="mybox box">
<div style="position: absolute;">
Item 1
Item 2
</div>
</div>
<div class="buttons">
<div class="mybutton">
/* Button image here */
</div>
</div>
</div>
here's what you need to do in jquery.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#container").hover(
function() {
console.log($(".mybox").fadeIn());
$(".mybox").fadeIn();
},
function() {
$(".mybox").fadeOut();
}
);
});
here's a working JSFIDDLE with 2 buttons

It's because you're no longer hovering over the button and instead going to a different element "mybox" so you could rearrange the html structure for it to work by keeping the menu in the button class like so:
<div class="buttons">
<div class="mybutton">
/* Button image here */
<div class="mybox">
<div style="position: absolute;">
Item 1
Item 2
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
this should keep the menu active as long as the curser is in there.

I don't recommend this as a UI design pattern for various reasons (one of them being the complexity of implementing it); you could instead consider changing it so that the menu appears when the user clicks.
Having said that, here's a way to do it. Get rid of your existing fadeOut() calls and add this:
$("body").on("mousemove", function(e) {
var $hovered = $(e.target);
var $myButton = $(".myButton");
var $box = $(".myBox");
if ( $hovered.is( $myButton ) ) return;
if ( $hovered.is( $box ) ) return;
if ( $.contains( $box.get(0), $hovered ) ) return;
$box.fadeOut();
});
...and similar for button2. The basic principle is this - whenever the mouse moves, we check whether the mouse is hovering over the button, or the box, or over an element contained in the box (using $.contains()). If not, we hide the box.

Hide existing <div> and show previous <div> in multi-branch form

I will start by telling you that this is my very first Javascript program from scratch. I am trying to make a back button that will go to the previously chosen div in a form (hide the current div and show the previous one the user chose).
The form has multiple paths to follow, paths within paths and not all selectors are buttons. There might be an onchange event or a radio button or even text input (text inputs have a next button to click).
I have had it working where it will hide the current div but show all previous chosen divs. It's now working where it hides the current div but shows nothing.
I have read a bunch of postings here and in other forums but have not found what I need yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can see the actual site here and I have put up a JSfiddle but for some reason I can't get it working there.
Here is the code from the fiddle:
<div>
<form>
<div id="uno" class="showFirst">
<button onclick="hideUno()">First Button</button>
</div>
<div id="dos" class="hideFirst">
<button onclick="hideDos()">Second Button</button>
</div>
<div id="tres" class="hideFirst">
<button onclick="hidetres()">Third Button</button>
</div>
<div id="quattro" class="hideFirst">
<button onclick="hideQuattroUno()">Fourth Button</button>
<button onclick="hideQuattroDos()">Fifth Button</button>
</div>
<div id="branchUno" class="hideFirst">
<p>First Branch</p>
</div>
<div id="branchDos" class="hideFirst">
<p>Second Branch</p>
</div>
</form>
<button id="backButton" onclick="goToPrevious" class="hideFirst">Back</button>
</div>
.hideFirst {
display: none;
}
function goToPrevious() {
var current = $(".chosen").find(":visible");
$(current).hide();
$(current).prev(".chosen").show();
}
function hideUno() {
$("#backButton").toggle();
$("#uno").toggle();
$("#uno").addClass("chosen");
$("#dos").toggle();
}
function hideDos() {
$("#dos").toggle();
$("#dos").addClass("chosen");
$("#tres").toggle();
}
function hideTres() {
$("#tres").toggle();
$("#tres").addClass("chosen");
$("#quattro").toggle();
}
function hideQuattroUno() {
$("#quattro").toggle();
$("#quattro").addClass("chosen");
$("#branchUno").toggle();
}
function hideQuattroDos() {
$("#quattro").toggle();
$("#quattro").addClass("chosen");
$("#branchDos").toggle();
}
Here are a few of the questions I've reviewed here:
retain show / hide div on multistep form
Hide and Show div in same level
how to show previous div of clicked div in angular.js
show div and hide existing div if open with jQuery?
Show one div and hide the previous showing div
I realize it's not the cleanest code, but as I said this is my first and I am trying to cleanup as I go along and learn new things.

You could make a bit of automatization instead of creating onclick events for each button/select separately.
For "Back" functionality, I'd use an array to store elements "on the fly" at each step, instead of checking visibility later on.
I'll make it this way:
Remove CSS rule display:none for hideFirst class (elements will be hidden using jQuery).
Add an class to the buttons/selects/check-boxes/etc... as event inndicator.
Add data-next attribute (to store id of the element which should be shown on click/change)
HTML:
<div id="firstDiv" class="hideFirst">
<button class="my-btn" data-next="#secondDiv" type="button">Show next<button>
</div>
<div id="secondDiv" class="hideFirst">
<select class="my-select" data-next="#thirdDiv">
<option>Helo World</option>
...
</select>
</div>
...
Script:
$(document).ready(function(){
// hide all 'hideFirst' elements, except the first one:
$('.hideFirst:not(:first)').hide();
// declare 'history' variable as an empty array (it will be used to store 'hideFirst' elements for 'Back' functionality):
var history = [];
// click event for the buttons :
$('.my-btn').click(function(e){
// as the button will submit the form if you're not using type="button" attribute, use this:
e.preventDefault();
showNext($(this));
});
// change event for selects :
$('.my-select').change(function(){
showNext($(this));
});
// Method used to show/hide elements :
function showNext(el){
// check if element has a 'data-next' attribute:
if(el.data('next')){
// hide all elements with 'hideFirst' class:
$('.hideFirst').hide();
// show 'Back' button:
$('#backButton').show();
// show the element which id has been stored in 'data-next' attribute:
$(el.data('next')).show();
// Push the parent element ('.hideFirst') into history array:
history.push(el.closest('.hideFirst'));
}
}
// click event for 'back' button:
$('#backButton').click(function(){
// hide all elements with 'hideFirst' class:
$('.hideFirst').hide();
// remove the last '.hideFirst' element from 'history' array and show() it:
history.pop().show();
// hide 'back' button if history array is empty:
history.length || $(this).hide();
}).hide(); // hide 'back' button on init
});
