Toggle between two divs, reset once opened












1














I have two buttons called "About Me" and "Projects". I've made so that no matter which button I click, they both have their own content that shows "in the same place". (switches between divs)



I also implemented that you can toggle between show or not showing content once clicked on one of the buttons. However, my problem is that I want to be able to switch between "About Me" and "Projects" and ALWAYS show their content (when I switch between those two), and only hide their content when I click twice on the same button



I think that the problem is in my toggle functions, so I'll just paste the code here. Hopefully someone understands my problem.



function toggleAbout() {
var showAbout = document.getElementById("aboutBtn");
var hideAbout = document.getElementById("aboutDiv");

showAbout.addEventListener('click', function () {
hideAbout.classList.toggle("show");
});
}

function toggleproject() {
var showproject = document.getElementById("projectBtn");
var hideproject = document.getElementById("projectDiv");

showproject.addEventListener('click', function () {
hideproject.classList.toggle("show");
});
}


Functions calls are made in index.html



<button id="aboutmeBtn" class="btn" onclick="toggleAbout()"> About Me   </button>
<button id="ProjectBtn" class="btn" onclick="toggleproject()"> Project</button>

I think that @JO3-W3B-D3V solution is a bit complicated so I'll try and answer differently.



I think your problem is that your running the addEventListeners when you click on the buttons but it should run when the page gets loaded instead.



Also I took out the toggle and instead changed the classes by hand if it's shown or hidden.



Try this:






var showAbout   = document.getElementById("aboutBtn");
var hideAbout = document.getElementById("aboutDiv");
var showproject = document.getElementById("projectBtn");
var hideproject = document.getElementById("projectDiv");

showAbout.addEventListener('click', function () {
if (hideAbout.classList == 'hide') {
hideAbout.classList = 'show';
hideproject.classList = 'hide';
} else {
hideAbout.classList = 'hide';
hideproject.classList = 'hide';
}
});

showproject.addEventListener('click', function () {
if (hideproject.classList == 'hide') {
hideproject.classList = 'show';
hideAbout.classList = 'hide';
} else {
hideproject.classList = 'hide';
hideAbout.classList = 'hide';
}
});

.show {
display: block;
}

.hide {
display: none;
}

#yourApp div {
height: 120px;
width: 120px;
}

#aboutDiv {
background-color: pink;
}

#projectDiv {
background-color: dodgerblue;
}

#aboutBtn {
background-color: pink
}

#projectBtn {
background-color: dodgerblue
}

<div id="yourApp">
<div id='aboutDiv' class='show'>About</div>
<div id='projectDiv' class='hide'>Project</div>

<button id="aboutBtn">About</button>
<button id="projectBtn">Project</button>

Is this the kinda thing you're after? ...






!function () {
var aboutBtn = document.getElementById("aboutBtn");
var projectBtn = document.getElementById("projectBtn");
var aboutPage = document.getElementById("aboutDiv");
var projectPage = document.getElementById("projectDiv");

// The class name for visible elements.
var showState = 'show';

// The class name for hidden elements.
var hideState = 'hide';

// Boolean value to state if you wish to
// automatically toggle between
// the two elements.
var toggle = false;

// Forces the other element to be hidden.
var hideOther = true;


// Simply states if the provided element
// is visible or not.
var isVisible = function (el) {
return el.className.toLowerCase().indexOf(showState) >= 0;
};

// Simple method to swap the visibility
// state.
var swapState = function (el, oel) {
if (isVisible(el)) el.className = hideState;
else el.className = showState;

if (oel != null)
if (el.className === showState) oel.className = hideState;
else oel.className = showState;
};

var controller = function (el) {
var me, other;

// Simply workout which button has been pressed.
if (el.getAttribute('id') === projectBtn.getAttribute('id')) {
me = projectPage;
other = aboutPage;
} else {
me = aboutPage;
other = projectPage;
}

// If toggle is false.
if (!toggle) swapState(me);
else swapState(me, other);

// Both wouldn't really work together,
// at least to my knowledge.
if (hideOther && !toggle) other.className = hideState;
};

// Simply bind the event handler.
aboutBtn.addEventListener('click', function () { controller(aboutBtn); });
projectBtn.addEventListener('click', function () { controller(projectBtn); });
}();

.show {
display: block;

.hide {

  • The switching between the two buttons are correct, but I also want it to be able to (in your example) to toggle between the colors when I click on the the same button, Like: 1st click - opens div 2nd click - closes div 3rd click - opens div
    – ccuber
    Nov 20 at 23:16












  • In that case you just do something like what I've done above.. Only you set the class-name property to 'hide' in the example I provided.

  • The switching between the two buttons are correct, but I also want it to be able to (in your example) to toggle between the colors when I click on the the same button, Like: 1st click - opens div 2nd click - closes div 3rd click - opens div

  • In that case you just do something like what I've done above.. Only you set the class-name property to 'hide' in the example I provided.
