I have a simple script in jquery to toggle a div (show and hide) when a <p>
is clicked (I'm using bootstrap).
HTML:
<p id="click_advance"><i class="icon-circle-arrow-down"></i> Advanced search</p>
<div id="display_advance">
<p>This is the advance search</p>
</div>
JS:
$('#click_advance').click(function(){
$('#display_advance').toggle('1000');
$(this).html('<i class="icon-circle-arrow-up"></i> Advanced search');
});
So, when I click for the first time the icon changes from down to up but obviously when I click "click_advance" again the icon doesn't change back. So I want the toggle effect like the show and hide; but I'm cluless on how to do it with an icon.
Instead of overwriting the html every time, just toggle the class.
$('#click_advance').click(function() {
$('#display_advance').toggle('1000');
$("i", this).toggleClass("icon-circle-arrow-up icon-circle-arrow-down");
});
If your icon is based on the text in the block (ligatures) rather the class of the block then the following will work. This example uses the Google Material Icons '+' and '-' icons as part of MaterializeCSS.
<a class="btn-class"><i class="material-icons">add</i></a>
$('.btn-class').on('click',function(){
if ($(this).find('i').text() == 'add'){
$(this).find('i').text('remove');
} else {
$(this).find('i').text('add');
}
});
Edit: Added missing );
needed for this to function properly.
It also works for JQuery post 1.9 where toggling of functions was deprecated.
Try this:
$('#click_advance').click(function(){
$('#display_advance').toggle('1000');
icon = $(this).find("i");
icon.hasClass("icon-circle-arrow-down"){
icon.addClass("icon-circle-arrow-up").removeClass("icon-circle-arrow-down");
}else{
icon.addClass("icon-circle-arrow-down").removeClass("icon-circle-arrow-up");
}
})
or even better, as Kevin said:
$('#click_advance').click(function(){
$('#display_advance').toggle('1000');
icon = $(this).find("i");
icon.toggleClass("icon-circle-arrow-up icon-circle-arrow-down")
})
If .toggle is not working I would do the next:
var flag = false;
$('#click_advance').click(function(){
if( flag == false){
$('#display_advance').show('1000');
// Add more code
flag = true;
}
else{
$('#display_advance').hide('1000');
// Add more code
flag = false;
}
}
It's a little bit more code, but it works
Here is a very easy way of doing that
$(function () {
$(".glyphicon").unbind('click');
$(".glyphicon").click(function (e) {
$(this).toggleClass("glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-up glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-down");
});
Hope this helps :D
