First of all, I know that this question has been answered on this site numerous times and that is the main problem here. I am spoiled for choice in the answers and have been searching for a few hours, not finding anything directly similar. There must be plenty of ways to do this, but what I have right now is closest to what I want.
I have this for my code at the moment, for some reason the fiddle won't work, while it works fine in my code, must have missed something.
http://jsfiddle.net/PVLMX/
Html:
<div id="wrap">
<p>This text is visible, but there is more.<br/><br/>See more >>
</p>
<div id="example" class="more">
<p>Congratulations! You've found the magic hidden text! Clicking the link below
will hide this content again.</p>
<p><a href="#" id="example-hide" class="hideLink"
onclick="showHide('example');return false;">Hide this content >></a></p>
</div>
</div>
Javascript:
function showHide(shID) {
if (document.getElementById(shID)) {
if (document.getElementById(shID+'-show').style.display != 'none') {
document.getElementById(shID+'-show').style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById(shID).style.display = 'block';
}
else {
document.getElementById(shID+'-show').style.display = 'inline';
document.getElementById(shID).style.display = 'none';
}
}
}
I need to be able to call the function for each new "Read More" on the page. At the moment, the first "See More" is always the target of the javascript, and I am not sure how to call this function for other links on the page.
In HTML, each id="" must be a unique identifier, you can't put two id="example" so you need id="example" and id="example2" and so on.
Working jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/PVLMX/2/
<div id="wrap">
<p>This text is visible, but there is more.<a href="#" id="example2-show"
class="showLink" onclick="showHide('example2');return false;"><br/><br/>See more >></a>
</p>
<div id="example2" class="more">
<p>This text was hidden, now you see it</p>
<p><a href="#" id="example2-hide" class="hideLink"
onclick="showHide('example2');return false;">Hide this content >></a></p>
</div>
</div>
What I changed:
every id="example.. to id="example2... in the second div.
load the script in "No wrap - in head" mode (jsfiddle left option)
In your fiddle you need to select the no wrap in <head> option. Your code works fine.

Aslo you can't have duplicate id's
if you want to generalise this, there is a much easier way in jquery ie by using class you can bind click events and generalise them using class names. Here is an example , Check it out
$('.showLink').bind('click',function(e){
var obj = $(this).attr('id');
var name = obj.replace("-show","-hidden");
$('#'+name).css('display', 'inline-block');
});
$('.hideLink').bind('click',function(e){
var obj = $(this).attr('id');
var name = obj.replace("-hide","-hidden");
$('#'+name).css('display', 'none');
});
http://jsfiddle.net/AmarnathRShenoy/AMf8y/
You can use class names multiple times and you must always remeber that id can never be duplicated
Actually you can do it with jquery and much easier than you think
Jquery as follows:
$more = $('.more');
$('.showLink').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$more.show();
})
$('.hideLink').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$more.hide();
})
Also add a css style to display:none on .more class.
you can make it look a little nicer with slideToggle()

I have an ArrayList named conversations_client, I want to be able to get the value of conversation[6] for each div.
Each one the the media div represent a conversation.
Here is a part of my code :
<c:forEach var="conversation" items="${conversations_client}" >
<div class="media">
<div class="media-left">
<input class="checkbox" type="checkbox" name="selected-conv">
</div>
<div class="media-body">
<h4 class="media-heading">${conversation[0]}</h4>
<span class="hidden">${conversation[6]}</span>
......
I had first tried to use this code :
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.media').click(function(){
var text = $(this).text();
alert(text);
});
</script>
But it would print not only conversation[6] but others as well since they're all inside the div with class media.
Then I tried this :
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.media').click(function(){
var text = $('.hidden').text();
alert(text);
});
</script>
But it would print the same id for all divs, which is the id of the first one.
How can I do that? and would it be better to wrap those media divs with tags to be able to use a specific action for each one of them? because I am displaying all conversations, then once the user will click on one them I'll have to recover its id to be able to display the messages of that specific conversation and it isn't advisable to write Java code inside of jsp.
Thank you :)
Use find from current element.
$('.media').click(function()
{
var text = $(this).find('#hidden').text();
alert(text);
});
UPDATE:
You are using loop to repeat the markup. It's not good to use ID hidden multiple times as per W3C standards. ID should be unique and should be used once in the page.
Use class instead of id for multiple usages. In this case class="hidden"
Better change <span id="hidden">${conversation[6]}</span> to <span class="hidden">${conversation[6]}</span>
Also change JS to find .hidden
$('.media').click(function()
{
var text = $(this).find('.hidden').text();
alert(text);
});
I am a beginner in Javascript and I am not absolutely sure how to put together the function what I try to achieve.
So, I have a HTML5 page and I must stick to my ID structure as different functions are tied to IDs.
My problem is I have an id within an id (It must stay an ID, it cannot be swapped with class)
E.G.
<div id="outterid">
CLICK ME
<div id="innerid">
<p>Hello World</p>
</div>
</div
Where, <div id=outterid"> pops up as a tooltip (My other javascript takes care of that function. And within that the link CLICK ME and the hidden <div id=innerid">.
So when you click CLICK ME, <div id=innerid">becomes visible. (Note: <div id="outterid"> is visible, while you are clicking)
So I need to achieve the href="#innerid" through javascript, because at the moment simply href=""
E.G.
CLICK ME
does not work, because the #innerid within the #outterid.
Also, the 'CLICK ME' link has to be triggered by onmouseover="this.click();". So, the link clicked when the mouse hovers over it.
I hope I managed to clearly explain what is my problem and what result I am looking for.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Are you talking here about scrolling to the relevant div (e.g. #innerid)? In which case I don't think your problem has anything to do with javascript, but rather you've missed the a off of <href="#innerid">CLICK ME</a>... I've tried replicating your problem in JSFiddle and with CLICK ME it scrolls to the correct div regardless of if it's in a nested outer div or not.
It's not clear exactly what you're after here but i've had a shot. This example will display the #innerid div when you click on the anchor tag. Hopefully this will help you.
function myFunction(href) {
var id = href.split('#')[1];
document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'block';
}
#innerid { display:none; }
<a onclick="myFunction(this.href)" href="#innerid">CLICK ME</a>
<div id="outterid">
<div id="innerid">
<p>Hello World</p>
</div>
</div
I have some div boxes and when you click a link it replaces an existing box rather than stacks a new one below it.
It's probably best to show you rather than explain.
Or at least I would but creating a jsfiddle doesn't replicate what I see on my webpage.
My webpage is intranet so I cannot share.
This is the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/GR6pu/
(When trying to post I get asked to accompany a jsfiddle.net link with some code.
Not quite sure what is needed so I'll post this:)
var showed = 'com1';
function com(id) {
if (showed && showed !== id) {
document.getElementById(showed).style.display = 'none';
}
document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'block';
showed = id;
}
What should hopefully happen is:
You start in community box.
When you click 'lam' you get a box below it = 'lam activities'.
If you subsequently click 'dispatch' this 'lam activites' box is replaced with 'dispatch activities'.
This bit works fine on my website with what I have posted in the fiddle.
Then, in 'lam activities' if you click 't45' you should get another box below it, but on my website the 't45' box replaces the 'lam activities' box rather than stacks another below it.
My goal is to have the 't45' box stacked underneath the 'lam activities' box.
From reading other threads on the forum I know you like your posters to detail what they have tried...
My knowledge on all things web based is small.
4 weeks ago I had never created a website and I've managed to teach myself enough HTML and CSS to create a working website but Javascript is still new to me, hence I don't have the knowledge to fiddle about with the js to make it work.
I tried changing none to block but this then creates more boxes than I would like.
Thanks, Kristian

Overall you got 2 issues, the HTML is invalid as closing tags are missing and your code is not correct, hence it will not show the expected elements.
Fixing your HTML
Your demo fiddle is broken in the first place and does not demonstrate the issue you have.
You cannot show lam1 if the lam1 element is inside the com2 element which you are still hiding display: none, please inspect your HTML after clicking t45:
The reason you end up with incorrect nested HTML like that is due to missing closing tags which creates invalid HTML.
All <a> tags are missing their matching </a> closing tags.
All main divtags, such as <div id="com1"..>, <div id="lam1"..>, etc.. are missing their matching </div> closing tags.
Browsers try a best-guess, adding closing tags where it seems most appropriate, hence you might end up with unexpected HTML, such as sibling elements becoming nested instead.
Edit: The </a> are not required (my bad), only the 3rd </div> was missing in each section. I updated the fiddle and posted code to reflect that
DEMO - Adding missing closing tags fixes the demo and now shows the issue you are having.
Fixing your code
Now that the missing closing tags are added fixing the HTML in the fiddle which now works and shows the issue we can fix your code.
Your second function will always hide the t45 element and then show the task-element, hence it "replaces" it. I'm assuming you want similar functionality whereby the task element is replaced as you click on different "tasks".
In that case you cannot use the showed id but need to keep a separate record of the task-id (or what ever you want to call it)
function lam(id) {
// this removes the t45 element you want to keep
// I'm assuming you want to track clicked lams separately
if (showed && showed !== id) {
document.getElementById(showed).style.display = 'none';
}
document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'block';
showed = id;
}
Change that to the following and both elements are visible.:
var taskId;
function lam(id) {
if (taskId && taskId !== id) {
document.getElementById(taskId).style.display = 'none';
}
document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'block';
taskId = id;
}

Here is the fixed HTML and code for completeness from the fiddle above.

JavaScript:
var showed = 'com1';
var taskId;
function com(id) {
if (showed && showed !== id) {
document.getElementById(showed).style.display = 'none';
}
document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'block';
showed = id;
}
function lam(id) {
if (taskId && taskId !== id) {
document.getElementById(taskId).style.display = 'none';
}
document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'block';
taskId = id;
}
Lets break this down:
if (showed && showed !== id) {
document.getElementById(showed).style.display='none';
}
If showed is set and is not equal to the new id passed in the function, get the element with the ID of id and set it to display:none;
document.getElementById(id).style.display='block';
Get the element with the ID of id and set it to display:block;
showed=id;
Set the showed variable to be the value of the id passed into the function.
So basically, the function hides the previous element and then shows the element that has the ID you passed into the function. If you don't want to hide the previous element, you just need to remove the part of the function that does that (the if( showed && showed !== id ) { ... } statement block)
Hi I have a problem with my function, when I call it to show my hidden div it does not work. It does not show the hidden div. I followed previous examples from what have been posted in stackoverflow but still my code does not work.
This is my html file
<div id="playTheGame" class="css/outer" style="display:none;" >
<div class="css/inner">
<h1>Choose!</h1>
<section id="hand">
<img src="images/rock.png">
<img src="images/paper.png">
<img src="images/scissors.png">
</section>
</div>
</div>
My Function
<script>
function logSuccess(){
document.getElementById("playTheGame").style.visibility="visible";
}
</script>
The Button I used for the function
<input type="button" onclick="logSuccess()" value="Show">
Change your code to this
document.getElementById("playTheGame").style.display = "block";
Since you hid it using the display property, show it using the display property.
There are two options for this:
One using JavaScript:
object.style.display="block"; // where object will be the playThemGame id element..
And the other one using jQuery; JavaScript library.
$("#playTheGame").show();
The option two won't work, because you will have to write the event function too, So just use the first one as:
document.getElementById("playTheGame").style.display="block";
Edit:
Since you are using
document.getElementById("playTheGame").style.display="block";
To disply the result, then you must use this to remove the display!
document.getElementById("playTheGame").style.display = "none"; to hide it back!
The basic idea is that, this will just shift the object-->style-->display's value to none Its not going to add any more attribute. Its just going to shift current attribute's value.
I'm looking for a wordpress plugin that hides to start with the when I click say an arrow image an ajax feature pops out with say a contact form inside and also another show hide feature at the bottom of the page to show and hide multiple divs.
Is there a plugin that can do all this?
My pages have to be editable for my client so it is impossible for me to build this into the theme. The javascript function needs to be part of a page.
I've found WP ShowHide Elements but this does not allow me to do it with multiple divs in the same placement.
Here's some of the script I'm using as allowed by the plugin in my pages
<p id="mytest">my text</p>
<p><a onclick="wp_showhide('mytest')" href="javascript:void(0);">my link</a></p>
<p id="new">new</p>
<p><a onclick="wp_showhide('new')" href="javascript:void(0);">new</a></p>
Thanks for your help

Please notice the sidebar on this website, this is what I'm trying to achive but within the main page content
This short script works within a page but I want a swap div effect
How can I use this to work with multipe divs? - i'd like to change the visability of multiple divs all with the same space or div
<p><script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function toggle_visibility(id) {
var e = document.getElementById(id);
if(e.style.display == 'block')
e.style.display = 'none';
else
e.style.display = 'block';
}
//-->
</script></p>
<p><a onclick="toggle_visibility('foo');" href="#">Click here to toggle visibility of element #foo</a></p>
<div id="foo">This is foo</div>
<p><a onclick="toggle_visibility('too');" href="#">Click here to toggle visibility of element #too</a></p>
<div id="too">This is too</div>
I think I may have solved my own problem :)
Would love to know whether anyone can modify it so the 1st div is already open when the page loads
<p><script type="text/javascript">
lastone='empty';
function showIt(lyr)
{
if (lastone!='empty') lastone.style.display='none';
lastone=document.getElementById(lyr);
lastone.style.display='block';
}
</script></p>
<p>link</p>
<div id="divID" style="display: none;">content</div>
<p>link</p>
<div id="new" style="display: none;">content</div>
To answer your edit: can't you just remove the display:none style from the original div?
If you need to do it in Javascript, chuck a showIt('divID'); line in after your function.
To do it properly, add it into window.onload:
window.onload = showIt('divID');
Or more properly, have a function that enqueues into the onload (like this).
Or probably best, use a framework :)
