Change div text with jQuery Toggle

Question

When using slideToggle, how to change the Text close/show? I did a simple one, but cannot get the text change back.

Here is what I did:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.open').click(function(){        
            $('.showpanel').slideToggle('slow');
            $(this).text('close');
    });
    
        $('.open2').click(function(){        
            $('.showpanel2').slideToggle('slow');
            $(this).text('close');
    });        
});

body{
font-size:20px;
}
#box{
    border:2px solid #000;
    width:500px;
    min-height:300px;      
}
.open,.open2 {
    width:450px;
    height:50px;
    background:blue;
    margin:5px auto 0 auto;
    color:#fff;     
    }
.showpanel,.showpanel2{
    width:450px;
    height:300px;
    margin:0 auto 10px auto;
    background:red;
    display:none;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="box">

<div class="open">Show</div>
<div class="showpanel">This is content</div>

<div class="open2">Show</div>
<div class="showpanel2">This is content</div>
</div>

Answer 1

Use this

jQuery.fn.toggleText = function() {
    var altText = this.data("alt-text");
    if (altText) {
        this.data("alt-text", this.html());
        this.html(altText);
    }
};

Here is how you use it

 
   jQuery.fn.toggleText = function() {
    	var altText = this.data("alt-text");

    	if (altText) {
    		this.data("alt-text", this.html());
    		this.html(altText);
    	}
    };

    $('[data-toggle="offcanvas"]').click(function ()  {

    	$(this).toggleText();
    });

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button data-toggle="offcanvas" data-alt-text="Close">Open</button>

You can even use html provided it's html encoded properly

Answer 2

Use .toggle()

Here is Working Demo

$('.open').click(function(){    
        $('.showpanel').slideToggle('slow');                  
    }).toggle(function() {
            $(this).text('Hide');
        }, function() {
            $(this).text('Show');
        });

Answer 3

Just add a simple if statement to test the text like so

$('.open').click(function(){

       $('.showpanel').slideToggle('slow');
       if($(this).text() == 'close'){
           $(this).text('Show');
       } else {
           $(this).text('close');
       }
});

Like this DEMO

Answer 4

try this demo

$(document).ready(function(){
$('.open').toggle(function(){    
        $('.showpanel').slideToggle('slow');
        $(this).text('close');
}, function(){
    $('.showpanel').slideToggle('slow');
    $(this).text('Show');
});

    $('.open2').toggle(function(){

        $('.showpanel2').slideToggle('slow');
        $(this).text('close');
    }, function(){
        $('.showpanel2').slideToggle('slow');
        $(this).text('Show');
    });   
});​

Answer 6

Here's an updated version http://jsfiddle.net/9EFNK/1/

You can simply toggle a class on close/open, perform a check for that class and change the contained text accordingly

if( $(this).hasClass('active') )
  $(this).text('open');
else
  $(this).text('Show');

$(this).toggleClass('active');
