Toggling display of divs with jQuery using plus and minus icons

Question

Toggling display of divs with jQuery using plus and minus icons

Is it possible to use two different icons as a sprite image for when the show and hide functions are active on a div element?

For instance, having a + icon displayed when showing the div, and then switching to a - icon when hiding it.

The current code I have is: http://jsfiddle.net/BLkpG/

$(document).ready(function(){
   $(".slidingDiv").hide();
   $(".show_hide").show();

    $('.show_hide').click(function(){
    $(".slidingDiv").slideToggle();
  });
});

I am looking to update the images dynamically to display a + or - icon based on the toggle action.

Any guidance on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Answer №1

Here is a suggestion for you to try out:

Using jQuery:

$('#toggle_icon').toggle(function() {

    $('#toggle_icon').text('-');
    $('#toggle_text').slideToggle();

}, function() {

    $('#toggle_icon').text('+');
    $('#toggle_text').slideToggle();

});

Incorporating HTML:

<a href="#" id="toggle_icon">+</a>

<div id="toggle_text" style="display: none">
    Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s
</div>

In my opinion, the most stylish method is as follows:

<div class="toggler"></div>
<div class="display">...</div>

then add some CSS:

.toggler{
 display:inline-block;
height:48px;
width:48px;
background:url("http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/pixelmixer/basic/48/plus-icon.png");
}
.toggler.active{
  background:url("http://cdn2.iconfinder.com/data/icons/onebit/PNG/onebit_32.png");
}

and include some JavaScript:

$(document).ready(function(){
  var $content = $(".display").hide();
  $(".toggler").on("click", function(e){
    $(this).toggleClass("active");
    $content.slideToggle();
  });
});

Switch between displaying the text Show and Hide, while adjusting the position of your backgroundPosition on the Y axis

$(function(){ // When DOM is ready

    $(".slidingDiv").hide();

    $('.show_hide').click(function( e ){
        var SH = this.SH^=1; // Toggle switch
        $(this).text(SH?'Hide':'Show')
               .css({backgroundPosition:'0 '+ (SH?-18:0) +'px'})
               .next(".slidingDiv").slideToggle();
    });

});

CSS:

.show_hide{
  background:url(plusminus.png) no-repeat;
  padding-left:20px;

Enve's answer has been quickly edited here. While roXor's solution is appreciated, background images are deemed unnecessary. Additionally, it seems that everyone forgot to include a preventDefault as well.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $(".slidingDiv").hide();

  $('.show_hide').click(function(e) {
    $(".slidingDiv").slideToggle("fast");
    var val = $(this).text() == "-" ? "+" : "-";
    $(this).hide().text(val).fadeIn("fast");
    e.preventDefault();
  });
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Answer №5

this method is effective:

http://jsfiddle.net/UhEut/

Styling with CSS:

.show_hide {
    display:none;
}
.plus:after {
    content:" +";
}
.minus:after {
    content:" -";
}

Using jQuery:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $(".slidingDiv").hide();
  $(".show_hide").addClass("plus").show();
  $('.show_hide').toggle(
      function(){
          $(".slidingDiv").slideDown();
          $(this).addClass("minus");
          $(this).removeClass("plus");
      },
      function(){
          $(".slidingDiv").slideUp();
          $(this).addClass("plus");
          $(this).removeClass("minus");
      }
  );
});

Incorporating in HTML:

<a href="#" class="show_hide">Show/hide</a>

<div class="slidingDiv" style="display: block;">
Check out the updated jQuery plugin for doing this: <a href="http://papermashup.com/jquery-show-hide-plugin/" class="show_hide" target="_blank" style="display: inline;">jQuery Show / Hide Plugin</a>
</div>

In the CSS, instead of using content:" +";, consider utilizing a background-image (with

background-position:right center;

and background-repeat:no-repeat) and possibly setting the .show_hide to be displayed as a block with a width to prevent overlaying of the link text).

Answer №6

Instead of using a simple plus (+) and minus (-) sign, you can opt for an arrow to show and hide elements. This method involves utilizing jQuery to toggle classes on the element and CSS to style the arrow accordingly.

$(".toggleHide").click(function() {
  $(".elementToHide").slideToggle("fast");
  $(this).find("i").toggleClass("down up");
});

i {
  border: solid black;
  border-width: 0 5px 5px 0;
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 5px;
  -webkit-transition-duration: 1s;
  transition-duration: 1s;
}

.up {
  transform: rotate(-135deg);
  -webkit-transform: rotate(-135deg);
}

.down {
  transform: rotate(45deg);
  -webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
}
