jQuery SlideDown / SlideUp | "FAQ" | Opened


My title doesn't mean anything i guess, but it's complicated to name my problem.

So, i did a section in my html "faq" and when someone click on a question, the answer appaer with a slideDown. If we click on another question, that close the previous one (slideUp) and open this one you just clicked on. And when we click on a question, the color change with a .addClass / removeClass on the element.

The problem that i'm struggling with is the next one : When we load the page, i would like to have an element already opened and just one. When we click on another one, that will close the previous, and so on.

Some code, will speak a little bit better, there's a CodePen link. I would like to have the second element already opened :)

Thank you !


Solution

  • First, you call the slideDown() function on the element with open class on DOM ready. Then, you call slideUp method on the element with open class and remove the open class on click. This should do the trick:

    $(function() {
      var $_openedFaq = null;
      
      //calling the slideDown to show the second element in the tabs
      $('a.open').next('p').slideDown();
    
      function openFaq($__p) {
        $__p.slideDown();
      }
    
    
      function closeFaq($__p) {
        $__p.slideUp();
      }
    
      $('.faq ul li').each(function() {
    
        var $faq = $(this);
        var $p = $(this).find('p');
        var offset = $(this).offset().top;
    
    
        $(this).find('a').click(function(e) {
          e.preventDefault();
          //on click hide the current active elements and remove the class from current active element
          $('a.open').next('p').slideUp();
          $('a.open').removeClass('open');
    
          $('html, body').animate({
            scrollTop: offset
          }, 500);
    
          // Test of code that i'm struggling with
    
          if ($('.faq ul li').find('a').hasClass("open")) {
            $p = $(this).next('p');
            openFaq($p);
          }
    
          // End of the test
    
          if ($_openedFaq != null) {
            closeFaq($_openedFaq.find('p'));
    
            $_openedFaq.find('a').removeClass("open");
          }
    
    
          if (($_openedFaq == null) || (($_openedFaq != null) && !$faq.is($_openedFaq))) {
            openFaq($p);
    
            $_openedFaq = $faq;
    
            $p.prev('a').addClass("open");
    
          } else {
            $_openedFaq = null;
          }
        });
      });
    });
