jQuery: Simple way to slideToggle multiply elements independently (and similar questions)

Firstly, I need to say that I'm pretty new to jQuery.
I have this situation: http://jsfiddle.net/dVf8m/
I've been wondering if there is a way to do the slideToggle simplier. Now I have two ids on menu elements (#trigger1 and #trigger2) and two ids on the hidden divs (#one and #two). This also results in double jQuery. Is it possible to avoid all the ids and make it simpler?
Another thing is that if I click on both menu elements (First and Second) both divs appear. I want only one of the hidden divs to be visible at one time? How can I force the first div to disappear when the other one is appearing?
Also, if I'd want to use fadeIn/fadeOut in this situation, how to do it when both of them use the .click event?

Change your code to something like below. Have a class for the div and add click listener to it. add any attribute to the div and give the id of the div to be toggled.
<div id="top">
<ul>
<li><span id="trigger1" class="toggler" data-item="item1">First</span></li>
<li><span id="trigger2" class="toggler" data-item="item2">Second</span></li>
<li>Third</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="hidden" id="item1">
<ul>
<li>Smthn</li>
<li>Smthn2</li>
<li>Smthn3</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="hidden" id="item2">
<ul>
<li>Apple</li>
<li>Orange</li>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
</div>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.toggler').click(function(e) {
$("#"+$(this).attr("data-item")).slideToggle(500);
});
});

How to create hover effects for all links EXCEPT the one you hover on using javascript/jquery/css?

I recently saw a very interesting effect I would like to create in a navbar for a website. The effect was a hover effect, used for links in a menu list. Instead of the typical "change the link when you hover over it" , it changes every OTHER link BESIDES the one you are hovering. In the example I saw when you hover over one link in the list, it applied an opacity fade to all the other links, leaving the link you are hovering over at full opacity.
now i've tried some css things that ive looked up, something like this:
.menu-link:a + .menu-link {opacity: 0.7;}
...but that only achieved the effect for the link next to it , not all links with the same class. I'm assuming this can be achieved with javascript but im such a noob I cannot figure it out.
So could anyone help me figure out how to code up a quick function like this in either jquery or javascript? something that looks for a hover on an object with a specific class and then having an effect (such as lowering opacity) performed on all other objects with that class? Thanks for any help!
EDIT: okay i was asked to provide some code. this is the "menu of links" i have been working on, the are just a series of unordered lists that show up in a header div at the top of the page:
<div class="col-lg-2 col-md-2 menu-border">
<div class="menu-list">
<h4 class="list-title">Blog</h4>
<ul>
<li><a class="menu-link" href="#">Archive</a></li>
<li><a class="menu-link" href="#">Search</a></li>
<li><a class="menu-link" href="#">Tag Cloud</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-2 col-md-2 menu-border">
<div class="menu-list">
<h4 class="list-title">Profile</h4>
<ul>
<li><a class="menu-link" href="#">Artist Profiles</a></li>
<li><a class="menu-link" href="#">Submit A Profile</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-2 col-md-2 menu-border">
<div class="menu-list">
<h4 class="list-title">Connect</h4>
<ul>
<li><a class="menu-link" href="#">SoundCloud</a></li>
<li><a class="menu-link" href="#">linkedIN</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
they are just a few sub menus; however i have given all the links in all the sub menus a class ("menu-link") and I'm trying to figure out how to make a function that when hovering over one link with the "menu-link" class, all other links with that class do something (in my particular case i want them to fade to a > 1 opacity )

Using jQuery, you could do something like this:
jQuery
$('a.menu-link').hover(function(){
$('a.menu-link').not(this).toggleClass('toggle');
})
CSS
.toggle {
opacity: 0.7;
}
Here is a fiddle of it in action: http://jsfiddle.net/HMq67/
Using toggleClass() and not() you can change the style of every element that is not the one you are hovering over.

Give this jsFiddle a try. If nothing else, it should get you going.
In essence, you will need javascript to listen for the mousover and mouseout events. Then select all elements except the one you are currently hovering over.
$('nav li a').mouseover(function () {
$('nav li a').not($(this)).addClass('hover');
});
$('nav li a').mouseout(function () {
$('nav li a').not($(this)).removeClass('hover');
});

4 years later...lol.
You can achieve this with simple CSS!
For the code you provided above it would look like this:
.menu-list ul:hover .menu-link {
opacity: 0.7;
}
.menu-list ul:hover .menu-link:hover {
opacity: 1;
}
.menu-list ul li a {
display: block;
}
Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/fz6bumxx/6/
Note - I'm setting the a tags within each list items to block so that you can't trigger the link fades without hovering over one of the links.
Hope this helps!

Hide divs when showing another - jQuery toggle

I'll start with my JSFiddle example:
http://jsfiddle.net/CR5FB/5/
Basically I'm trying to get the same effect as shown on this post (JSFiddle here), however I'm having some trouble implementing it - being as I want to check for multiple div's toggle status rather than simply switching in between two divs. I have tried using the following:
$("#showcreate").click(function() {
if ($(".searchmenu").is(":visible")) {
$(".createmenu").toggle("fast");
$(".searchmenu").toggle("fast");
} else {
$(".createmenu").toggle("fast");
});
(So if the search menu is open, close it and open the create menu but if it's not open, just open the create menu).
I'm not sure if the :visible function applies if I've used $("div").hide() rather than display:none in the css?
Any help on this will be massively appreciated - even a suggestion for another suitable method such as possible jquery accordion etc.?
Thanks alot

Try this please:
HTML:
<div class="actionsmenu" id="actionsmenu">
<div id="navmenu">
<ul id="navmenu">
<li><a href='#' class="tog" data-id="createmenu" id='showcreate'>Create</a></li>
<li><a href='#' class="tog" data-id="searchmenu" id='showsearch'>Search</a></li>
<li><a href='#' class="tog" data-id="settingsmenu" id='showsettings'>Settings</a></li>
<li><a href='#' class="tog" data-id="helpmenu" id='showhelp'>Help</a></li>
<ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="menu createmenu" id="createmenu">Menu 1</div>
<div class="menu searchmenu" id="searchmenu">Menu 2</div>
<div class="menu settingsmenu" id="settingsmenu">Menu 3</div>
<div class="menu helpmenu" id="helpmenu">
JS:
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".menu").hide();
$(".tog").click(function () {
$(".menu").hide();
$("." + $(this).data('id')).toggle("fast");
});
});
FIDDLE:
http://jsfiddle.net/CR5FB/14/
EDIT:
You have to use some common class for your links and divs if you want to assign them to the same event.
There is you can find better solution as for me: http://jsfiddle.net/CR5FB/19/

Here is a JS fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/7nGYE/
What you need to do is keep track of the active menu with a CSS class, so when another menu is clicked, you toggle the active menu, remove it as active, then set the new menu as the active div.
In particular, on any menu item click:
$('ul#navmenu a').click(function() {
$('div.active').removeClass('active').toggle('fast');
});
Hide the active menu. Then, on a particular menu item click:
$("#showcreate").click(function () {
$(".createmenu").toggle("fast").addClass('active');
});
add the 'active' CSS class to keep track of it.

hovering over list item, only one item showing up instead of all

HI I am trying to make a menu where items show up as they hover. I am quite new to jquery, css, etc. and I cant quite figure out what my problem is. Right now I do get my div to show up on hover, but instead of just one all of them show up.
How do I make the div tag of only the item I hover over show up.
Here is the fiddle:
<ul class="navi">
<li> <a class='light'>
Item1
<div class="hover-name" style="display:none">
Businesses
</div>
</a>
</li>
<li> <a class='light'>
Item2
<div class="hover-name" style="display:none">
Agencies
</div>
</a>
</li>
<li> <a class='light'>
Item3
<div class="hover-name" style="display:none">
Billing Plans
</div>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
http://jsfiddle.net/Samfr/
For example if I hover over Item1 then only Businesses would show up. Item2 only Agencies show up
Thank you

You are using the following to show the items:
$('.hover-name').show();
What this does is find everything within the doucment that has a class of .hover-name and does the show() function on it.
All you need to do is change the show line to be context aware:
$(this).find('.hover-name').show();
Using $(this).find('.hover-name') will find all the elements inside of what you hovered over with a class of .hover-name and show that, instead of showing all of them.
Additionally, if you wanted to hide the shown elements when you move over a new element, you could use the following:
$('.navi > li a.light').hover(function () {
$('.hover-name').hide();
$(this).find('.hover-name').show();
});
$('.hover-name').hide(); will hide everything with the class of .hover-name and then show the items inside the element you are currently over.

This code is going to hide the other elements:
$('.navi > li a.light').hover(function () {
$(this).parent().parent().find('.hover-name').hide();
$(this).find('.hover-name').show();
});
Fiddle

You can use the currentTarget of the event, which will return the element that was hovered, and you can use that to filter to only show the hover-name of that element:
$('.navi > li a.light').hover(function (e) {
$(e.currentTarget).find('.hover-name').show();
});

jQuery collapsing list?

Check out http://jqueryui.com/demos/draggable/
At the bottom there's a tabbed section. The seconds tabs "Details" gives the example of exactly what I want to accomplish. You can show/hide each row, and you can show/hide the details within that list row.
Is this part of the jQuery UI? If so, does anyone happen to know what it's called?

It is part of jQuery. It is just a simple hide and show on another div.
<div class="Control">Toggle</div>
<div class="Content" style="display: none;">Some content you want to toggle.</div>
<script>
$(".Control").click(function(){
$(this).next(".Content").toggle();
});
<script>
Your elements can change to anything you want, LI, IMG, DIV.

here is a simple accordion
if you don't want them all to hide. remove this line $('.contentblock').not(c).hide();
<ul id="accord">
<li>
title
<div class="contentblock">Content</div>
</li>
<li>
title2
<div class="contentblock">Content2</div>
</li>
</ul>
then ...
$(function () {
$('.contentblock').hide();
$('#accord').delegate('li > a','click',function () {
var c = $(this).parent().find('.contentblock').toggle();
$('.contentblock').not(c).hide();
})
});
