Using JQuery how to show and hide different div's onClick event

Question

I would like to show a div based on the Onclick event of an link.

First Click - Show div1
Second Click - Hide remaining div's and Show div2
Third Click - Hide remaining div's and show div3
Fourth Click - Hide remaining div's and show div1 => repeat the loop and goes on..

Code Follows:

<div class="toggle_button">
      <a href="javascript:void(0);" id="toggle_value">Toggle</a>
</div>


<div id='div1' style="display:none;"> 
  <!-- content -->
</div>

<div id='div2' style="display:none;"> 
  <!-- content -->
</div>

<div id='div3' style="display:none;"> 
  <!-- content -->
</div>

Jquery Code :

$(document).ready(function() {
        $("#toggle_value").click(function(){
           $("#div1").show("fast");
           $("#div2").show("fast");
           $("#div3").show("fast");
        });
});

The above code shows all divs on first click itself but it should show div1 on first click as mentioned.

Answer 1

You should add a counter in the function.

$(document).ready(function() {
    var count = 0;

    $("#toggle_value").click(function(){
        if (count == 0) {
            $("#div1").show("fast");
            $('#div2').hide();
            count++;
        }
        else if (count == 1) {
            $("#div2").show("fast");
            ...
            count++;
        }
        else if (count == 2) {
            $("#div3").show("fast");
            ....
            count++;
        }
        else {
             $('div').hide();
             count=0;
        }
    });
});

Answer 2

A simple way would be to introduce a variable that tracked clicks, so something like this:

var tracker = 0;    
$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#toggle_value").click(function(){
       if(tracker == 0)
       {
          $("#div1").show("fast");
       }else if(tracker ==1)

       etc etc

       tracker ++;

    });
});

Answer 3

My solution is a little different - I'd do it dependant on the state of the divs at the current time (on click). See below for what I mean by this.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#toggle_value").click(function(){
       if ($("#div1).is(':visible')) { // Second click
            // Hide all divs and show d2
            $("#div1").hide();
            $("#div2").show("fast");
            $("#div3").hide();
            $("#div4").hide();
       } else if ($("#div2").is(':visible')) { // Third click
            // follow above example for hiding all and showing div3
       } else if ($("#div3").is(':visible')) { // Fouth click
            // follow above example for hiding all and showing div1
       } else { // first click
            // All divs should be hidden first. Show div1 only.
            $("#div1").show("fast");
       }
    });
});

Just to warn you - I have not tested this code :) Based upon the following for determining visibility: http://docs.jquery.com/Frequently_Asked_Questions#How_do_I_determine_the_state_of_a_toggled_element.3F

Hope it helps

Answer 4

I'll try my shot.

EDIT: After second though, to avoid global variable use it's better to do the following

$(document).ready(function() {
        $("#toggle_value").click((function(){
        var counter = 0;
        return function()
        {
           $("#div" + counter).hide("fast");
           counter = (counter % 3) + 1;
           $("#div" + counter).show("fast");
        }
        })());
});

Answer 5

var c = 1;
$("#toggle_value").click(function()
{
   $("#div" + c).hide("fast");        
   $("#div" + ++c).show("fast");
   if (c > 3) c=1;       
});

Answer 6

I would probably do something like: (The following assumes all your <div>s are in a container with id "container")

$(document).ready(function() {
  var $allDivs = $("#container > div");
  var counter = 0;

  $("#container > div").click(function(){
    counter = counter < $allDivs.length - 1 ? counter + 1 : 0;
    $allDivs.not(":eq("+counter +")").hide("fast");
    $allDivs.eq(counter).show("fast");
  });
});

Answer 7

I prefer to use "filter" method and make a little easier work with counter:

(function () {
    var divCounter = 0, divs;

    $(function () {
        divs = $('#div1, #div2, #div3');
        $('#toggle_value').click(function (e) {
            divs.hide() // hide other divs
                .filter(function (index) { return index == divCounter % 3; }) // select appropriate div
                .show('fast'); // and show it

            divCounter++;
        });
    });

})();

Answer 8

The .toggle function in jQuery takes any number of argument functions, so the problem is already solved. See the docs under Events.

Answer 9

$("#toggle_value").click(function()
{
   $("#div" + (++c) % 3).show().siblings().hide();        
}

Answer 10

How about this

Working Example here - add /edit to URL to edit the code

$('html').addClass('js'); // prevent hiding divs on DOM ready from 'flashing'

$(function() {

  var counter = 1;

  $('#toggle_value').click(function() {
    $('div','#container')
      // to stop current animations - clicking really fast could originally
      // cause more than one div to show 
      .stop() 
      // hide all divs in the container
      .hide() 
      // filter to only the div in question
      .filter( function() { return this.id.match('div' + counter); })
      // show the div 
      .show('fast');

    // increment counter or reset to 1 if counter equals 3
    counter == 3? counter = 1 : counter++; 

    // prevent default anchor click event
    return false; 

  });

});

and HTML

    .display { width:300px; height:200px; border: 2px solid #000; }
    .js .display { display:none; }

</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="toggle_button">
      <a href="#" id="toggle_value">Toggle</a>
</div>
<br/>
<div id='container'>
    <div id='div1' class='display' style="background-color: red;"> 
        div1
    </div>

    <div id='div2' class='display' style="background-color: green;"> 
        div2
    </div>

    <div id='div3' class='display' style="background-color: blue;"> 
        div3
    </div>
<div>

</body>
</html>

This could easily be wrapped up in a plugin
