Switch up the checkbox status using a hyperlink within the checkbox manipulation strategy

My coworker and I collaborated on a website that features a FAQ page. Each question is followed by an "Answer" spoiler button. By clicking the button, the answer is revealed below the current question and above the next one. Clicking the button again hides the answer, allowing users to easily navigate through the questions.

However, I am facing a challenge where I want to link from the answer of one question to another. For instance, linking from the answer of question 1 to question 5.

I could assign an ID property to the <div> containing question 5 for linking purposes, but ideally, I want the hyperlink to automatically "click" the Answer button and show the response. This requires modifying the checkbox hack to function correctly, but I'm struggling with having both a hyperlink and a label in one text element.

To clarify: I need a solution using only HTML/CSS.

Original code with just a spoiler button

.spoilerbutton {
    display: block;
    border: none;
    padding: 0px 0px;
    margin: 10px 0px;
    font-size: 150%;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: transparent;
    outline: 0;
}

.spoiler {
    overflow: hidden;
}

.spoiler>div {
    -webkit-transition: all 0s ease;
    -moz-transition: margin 0s ease;
    -o-transition: all 0s ease;
    transition: margin 0s ease;
}

.spoilerbutton[value="Antwoord"]+.spoiler>div {
    margin-top: -500%;
}

.spoilerbutton[value="Hide Antwoord"]+.spoiler {
    padding: 5px;
}
<strong>1. Question 1?</strong> <input class="spoilerbutton" onclick="this.value=this.value=='Antwoord'?'Verberg':'Antwoord';" type="button" value="Antwoord" />
<div class="spoiler">

<ul>

</ul>
</div>
</div>

Answer №1

Option 1 - Utilizing JavaScript

Redirecting will only be effective if the element is visible, not when it is set to display: none. In the provided code snippet above, both the checkbox and the list of answers are initially hidden with display: none.

Step 1: Assign an id to each <strong id="question"> element.

<strong id="question1">1. Question 1?</strong>

Step 2: Since toggling a checkbox with CSS alone is not possible, we need to use JavaScript/jQuery for this functionality. I have included a basic script to check or uncheck a checkbox when a user clicks on a link.

<li><a href="#question5" onClick="var str = this.attributes['href'].value + 'Checkbox'; document.getElementById(str.replace('#', '')).checked = true;">Open 5. link first</a></li>

Answer №2

Short answer

While it may seem possible to accomplish this using CSS alone, the reality is that there are significant limitations that make it unfeasible.

Long answer

Implementing a solution dynamically without JavaScript presents a challenge due to CSS constraints. Without JavaScript, CSS can't target specific elements based on user interactions like clicking a link or checking/unchecking checkboxes.

The only viable option without JavaScript is to implement changes statically in the code. However, even with this approach, targeting parent elements or interacting with checkboxes purely through CSS is not possible.

This leaves JavaScript as the necessary solution within your current code structure.

.spoilerbutton {
  position: absolute;
  margin-top: 9px 0 0 -5px;
  height: 35px;
  width: 102px;
  opacity: 0;
}

.spoilerbutton:checked {
  width: 86px;
}

.spoilerbutton~.text::after {
  content: "Answer";
}

.spoilerbutton:checked~.text::after {
  content: "Hide";
}

.spoilerbutton~.spoiler {
  display: none;
}

.spoilerbutton:checked~.spoiler {
  padding: 5px;
  display: block;
}
<div>
  <strong>1. Question 1?</strong>
  <p class="text"></p>
  <input class="spoilerbutton" type="checkbox" />

  <h2 class="text"></h2>

  <div class="spoiler">
    <div>
      <ul>
        <li><a onclick="document.querySelector(this.attributes['href'].value + ' .spoilerbutton').checked = true;" href="#answer3">Open Answer 3</a></li>
        <li>possible answer 2.</li>
        <li>possible answer 3.</li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

<div>
  <strong>1. Question 2?</strong>
  <p class="text"></p>
  <input class="spoilerbutton" type="checkbox" />

  <h2 class="text"></h2>

  <div class="spoiler">
    <div>
      <ul>
        <li>possible answer 1.</li>
        <li>possible answer 2.</li>
        <li>possible answer 3.</li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

<div style="margin-top: 500px" id="answer3">
  <strong>1. Question 3?</strong>
  <p class="text"></p>
  <input class="spoilerbutton" type="checkbox" />

  <h2 class="text"></h2>

  <div class="spoiler">
    <div>
      <ul>
        <li>possible answer 1.</li>
        <li>possible answer 2.</li>
        <li>possible answer 3.</li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

One line of code is enough:

document.querySelector(this.attributes['href'].value + ' .spoilerbutton').checked = true;

Edit

Considering the :target pseudo-class could be an option, but restructuring the code would be necessary. Alternatively, following the JavaScript approach (as recommended) offers more flexibility.

Answer №3

This demonstration showcases pure HTML/CSS functionality without any JavaScript involved. It highlights the use of on-event attributes that are often mistaken for JavaScript elements by many developers. Two examples are provided below:

<button onclick="jsFunction(this); return false">X</button>

<a href="#/" onclick="this.value=this.value=='Show Answer'?'Hide':'Show Answer';">X</a>

Each question and answer set consists of a concealed checkbox, a collapsed fieldset with a visible legend and label, and hidden content in a definition list. The visibility properties are toggled using visibility: collapse/visible.

The usage of :target helps reveal the target fieldset when it is accessed. All user interactions and animations, including smooth scrolling with scroll-behavior: smooth, are achieved solely through CSS classes and strategic HTML structure. No excess line breaks or JavaScript functions were employed. The only #id used in CSS is a supplementary rule to maintain layout consistency and expandability through class assignments.

Update
A special scenario pointed out by HassanSiddiqui has been addressed (refer to comments). This situation may be considered an edge case as most users would not extensively navigate FAQ sections to encounter such issues. However, for comprehensive completeness, the following updates have been implemented:

  1. The display property of label.tgr for Question #5 is initially set to display:none.

  2. An alternate selector a.tgr now targets the checkbox of Question #5, input#act5.

  3. Returning to the link in Question #1 triggers a specific event where upon clicking the link, fieldset#t5c2 becomes and remains the :target. Dismissing this requires unchecking input#act5.

  4. Thus, opening 

    #t5c2</code via the link establishes it as <code>:target
    . To revert this state, clicking on a.tgr directs focus to input#act5:target.

  5. As a result, a.tgr will be replaced by label.tgr, causing the closure of #t5c2. Detailed explanations can be found in the CSS styles for better clarity.

Answer №4

After some tinkering, I managed to simplify the code and put together a mostly functional pure CSS solution. While it may not meet all your requirements, I believe it could still be beneficial to someone.

The main approach I took was utilizing the :focus pseudo-selector to reveal answers upon button clicks.

I also experimented with the :active selector to unveil an answer within another answer. However, this method proved less effective as the :active state disappears once the element loses its active status.

Nevertheless, this serves as a potential way to display answers simply by interacting with buttons.

/* Some basic styles */

.question {
  font-weight: bold;
  margin: 10px 0;
}

.answer {
  display: none;
  font-size: 14px;
  margin: 10px 0;
}

.show-answer {
  background: #cceedd;
}

.show-answer:focus {
  background: #cdcdcd;
}

a.answer-link {
  color: black;
  text-decoration: none;
}

a.answer-link span {
  color: blue;
  text-decoration: underline;
}

/* Reveal the answers */

.show-answer:focus + .answer {
  display: block;
}

/* Linking to an answer */

.answer-link--2:active ~ .answer--2 {
  display: block;
}
<div class="question">Question 1?</div>
<button class="show-answer show-answer--1">Show Answer</button>
<a class="answer answer--1 answer-link answer-link--2" href="#">This is the answer to Question 1. <span>Click and hold this text to unveil the answer for Question 2 until you release!</span>.</a>
<hr/>
<div class="question">Question 2?</div>
<button class="show-answer show-answer--2">Show Answer</button>
<div class="answer answer--2">This is the answer to Question 2.</div>
<hr/>
<div class="question">Question 3?</div>
<button class="show-answer show-answer--3">Show Answer</button>
<div class="answer answer--3">This is the answer to Question 3.</div>
<hr/>
<div class="question">Question 4?</div>
<button class="show-answer show-answer--4">Show Answer</button>
<div class="answer answer--4">This is the answer to Question 4.</div>
<hr/>
<div class="question">Question 5?</div>
<button class="show-answer show-answer--5">Show Answer</button>
<div class="answer answer--5">This is the answer to Question 5.</div>

Answer №5

The previous responses have highlighted the challenges of solving this issue without the use of JavaScript.

For better semantic structure, I suggest utilizing the details element.

To create a link from one question to another while also revealing the corresponding answer, you can employ a small script to dynamically update the [open] attribute on the details elements.

const section = document.getElementById('section');

section.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
  const target = e.target;
  const isLink = target.classList.contains('link');

  if (!isLink) {
    return;
  }

  const href = target.getAttribute('href');
  const question = target.closest('section').querySelector(href);

  question.setAttribute('open', true);
});
body {
  height: 2000px;
}

summary {
  cursor: pointer;
}
<section id="section">
  <details id="q1">
    <summary>Question 1</summary>
    <ul>
