I will try to keep this short. I'm trying to create boxes of text that hide or show when user clicks on a expand button. I'm using the toggle() method.
The markup is like this:
<span id="toggle0">+</span>
<div id="toggle0Container">
blablabla...
<div>
<span id="toggle1">+</span>
<div id="toggle1Container">
blablabla...
<div>
<span id="toggle2">+</span>
<div id="toggle2Container">
blablabla...
<div>
// etc
The #toggle0 is supposed to toggle the #toggle0Container, the #toggle1 toggles the #toggle1Container and so on. This is all generated by PHP so there can be any number of these containers.
Here's the JQuery code:
$(document).ready(function() {
// array of numbers, it's pretty redundant, there will never be more than 30 containers
var arr = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 , 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36];
// hide all containers first
jQuery.each(arr, function() {
$('#toggle' + this + 'Container').hide();
});
// now the toggle buttons
jQuery.each(arr, function() {
$('#toggle' + this).click(function() {
// this line is not working
$('#toggle' + this + 'Container').slideToggle('slow');
// and this just changes the toggle button from + to -
if ($(this).html() == '+') {
$(this).html('-');
} else {
$(this).html('+');
}
});
});
});
It works except for the toggling part (I have added comment above the line that's not working). Where's the problem?
