Im using JS to make divs display as block or none onclick of certain inputs. When i only have it working for one input the scripts work find, but as soon as i impliment the code for the second input it glitches out and both buttons open up the div thats only supposed to work for the second button.
Some of my code:
<span name="FaviconSPAN" id="FaviconSPAN" class="FaviconSPAN" OnClick="showOrHide()">
<img src="ASSETS/IMAGES/FAVICON1.png" alt="FAVICON" name="FaviconPNG" id="FaviconPNG" class="FaviconPNG" />
</span>
<div name="SoftMenuWrapper1" id="SoftMenuWrapper1" class="SoftMenuWrapper1">
<input type="button" value="Favorites" name="SoftMenuInput1" id="SoftMenuInput1" class="SoftMenuInput1" ONCLICK="ShowAndHide()" />
<div name="SoftMenuContent1" id="SoftMenuContent1" class="SoftMenuContent1">
<a href="#" name="SoftMenuLink1-1" id="SoftMenuLink1-1" class="SoftMenuLink1-1"> Link 1 </a>
<a href="#" name="SoftMenuLink1-2" id="SoftMenuLink1-2" class="SoftMenuLink1-2"> Link 1 </a>
<a href="#" name="SoftMenuLink1-3" id="SoftMenuLink1-3" class="SoftMenuLink1-3"> Link 1 </a>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var faqPage = document.getElementById('SoftMenuContent1');
function showDiv() {
faqPage.style.display = "block";
}
function closeDiv() {
faqPage.style.display = "none";
}
function showOrHide() {
if (faqPage.style.display === "block") {
closeDiv()
}
else {
showDiv()
}
}
</script>
<SCRIPT>
function ShowAndHide() {
var x = document.getElementById('SectionName');
if (x.style.display == 'none') {
x.style.display = 'block';
} else {
x.style.display = 'none';
}
}
</SCRIPT>
First off the markup looks kinda messy. You don't need to add an ID, name, and class to everything. Only add those things if you need them.
#whatever
and that matches an element with id="whatever"
. Though it is more commonly used just to target a specific element in your JavaScript. If you aren't doing either of those things, don't add it.Another problem you have is order of execution. You can either define your JS first (<script>
at the top) and then reference the functions with onclick
in the HTML, or (more commonly), define your HTML first with ID's, then have your <script>
at the bottom targeting the IDs (document.getElementById('asdf')
).
Here is a cleaner version of your code.
<span id="faviconContainer">
<img src="assets/images/favicon1.png" alt="Image of an icon" />
</span>
<div>
<input type="button" value="Favorites" id="softMenuInput" />
<div id="faqPage">
<a href="#">Link 1</a>
<a href="#">Link 2</a>
<a href="#">Link 3</a>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
/**
* Takes in an ID to find an element on the page, then shows/hides it.
*
* @param {string} id The element's ID
*/
function toggle (id) {
var el = document.getElementById(id);
if (el.style.display === 'block') {
el.style.display = 'none';
} else {
el.style.display = 'block';
}
}
var faviconContainer = document.getElementById('faviconContainer');
var softMenuInput = document.getElementById('softMenuInput');
faviconContainer.addEventListener('click', function () {
toggle('faqPage');
});
softMenuInput.addEventListener('click', function () {
toggle('sectionName');
});
</script>
This question isn't related to NW.js at all. It's just basic HTML and JavaScript.
I recommend you follow these resources to improve your skills. You can also rely on the world's largest programming community (HTML/JS) to ask these questions. Then when you have NW.js specific things, you can ask those here.
