I am attempting to use JavaScript to show/hide specific advanced fields in a HTML form. I am using the example from Hide/show advanced option using JavaScript which looks to be working well and I am able to hide the input marked with the correct div ID. However each of my inputs use their own div (and I would like to keep it this way if possible) which causes the JS to play up.
HTML:
<div >
<label for="text-c578" >Template Frequency (seconds)</label>
<input type="text" placeholder="Template Frequency" id="text-c578" name="number-1" >
</div>
<div id='test' >
<label for="text-16e6" >Source IP Address</label>
<input type="text" placeholder="Source IP Address" id="text-16e6" name="text" >
</div>
<div id='advancedOptions' >
<label for="text-c9f3" >Destination IP Address</label>
<input type="text" placeholder="Destination IP Address" id="text-c9f3" name="text-2" >
</div>
<div >
<input type="submit" value="submit" >
<a href="#" >Submit</a>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<a href="#" > </a>
JavaScript:
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#advancedOptions').hide();
$('.u-btn-2').click(function() {
if ($('#advancedOptions').is(':hidden')) {
$('#advancedOptions').slideDown();
} else {
$('#advancedOptions').slideUp();
}
});
});
</script>
Currently I am able to hide the input with div id='advancedOptions'
however I would like to also apply this to div id='test'
. I tried modifying the JavaScript to the below but this didn't work (it hides id='test'
and doesn't look to apply to div id='advancedOptions'
:
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#advancedOptions' && '#test').hide();
$('.u-btn-2').click(function() {
if ($('#advancedOptions' && '#test').is(':hidden')) {
$('#advancedOptions' && '#test').slideDown();
} else {
$('#advancedOptions' && '#test').slideUp();
}
});
});
</script>
Is there a way I can modify this JavaScript to apply to multiple div ID's as I am planning on adding more form inputs in the future?
I am a novice with Java so any help would be great, thanks!

You pass a wrong param in this line
$('#advancedOptions' && '#test').hide()
So '#advancedOptions' && '#test' returns '#test'
(See more abot logical AND operator here)
You can write this function in 2 lines
$('#advancedOptions' && '#test').hide()
So the line above turns into
$('#advancedOptions').hide()
$('#test').hide()
