i use a simple bit of code to make a div collapse, this is it:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function expand(param)
{
param.style.display=(param.style.display=="none")?"":"none";
}
//-->
</script>
what code do i add to make it recognise when one div is open an collapse the previous div?
here's the link I'd use:
<a href="javascript:expand(document.getElementById('div1'))">Link 1</a>
<div id="div1" width="300px" style="display:none"></div>
Any ideas?
If you were willing to use jQuery, the selector of your interest is something along the lines of
$('div#parent-container > div').filter(':visible');
For example, if I were to demonstrate with next & previous, I would do it something like this. With targeted links it would work by appending ID's to the divs
and referencing those in the href
attribute of `anchors'. (now included within example)
Something to mess with:
$(function(){
//Reference Object
var $divs = $('div > div');
//Buffer for selected variable
var $selected = 0;
//Show first
$divs.eq(0).show();
$('#next').click(function(){
//Update selected var
$selected = $divs.filter(':visible');
//Save next to variable
var $next = $selected.next();
//Change Visibility
toggle($next);
//Prevent Default
return false;
});
$('#prev').click(function(){
$selected = $divs.filter(':visible');
var $prev = $selected.prev();
toggle($prev);
return false;
});
$('a').click(function(){
$selected = $divs.filter(':visible');
var selector = $(this).attr('href');
if(selector == '#') return false;
toggle( $( selector ) );
return false;
});
var toggle = function($toggle){
if(!$toggle.length) return false;
$selected.hide();
$toggle.show();
}
});
<!--Simple Implementation and dependancies-->
<a id="prev" href="#">Prev</a>
<a id="next" href="#">Next</a>
<a href="#item-4">Show Item Four</a>
<div>
<div id="item-1">One</div>
<div id="item-2">Two</div>
<div id="item-3">Three</div>
<div id="item-4">Four</div>
<div id="item-5">Five</div
<div id="item-6">Six</div>
</div>
div > div {
font-size:5em;
width:auto;
text-align:center;
padding:20px 0;
display:none;
}
This is something jQuery works really well for. Here is a working example in jsfiddle.
http://jsfiddle.net/mrtsherman/uqnZE/
Example html
<div class="category">A
<div class="artists">Apple<br/>Ace<br/>Ants<br/></div>
</div>
<div class="category">B
<div class="artists">Bee<br/>Bop<br/>Book<br/></div>
</div>
<div class="category">C
<div class="artists">Cake<br/>Chimp<br/>Charles<br/></div>
</div>
And the code:
$(".category").click( function() {
$(".artists").hide();
$(this).children(".artists").show();
});
Basically what it does is hide all the divs that contain artists, then shows the div for the one you clicked on. Really simple.
