How to Show and Hide div elements using Checkboxes ?
In order to display data/content of a specific element by selecting the particular checkbox in jQuery we can use the toggle() method.
The toggle() method is used to check the visibility of selected elements to toggle between hide() and show() for the selected elements.
Syntax:
$(selector).toggle(speed, easing, callback)
Approach:
- Selector name for checkbox is same as the element which is used to display the
content. - CSS display property of each element is set to none using display: none; for hiding the element initially.
- Use .toggle() method for displaying and hiding the element for checking and unchecking the box.
Example 1: Displaying the content using checkboxes.
<!DOCTYPE html><html> <head> <title> Show and Hide div elements using checkbox </title> <script src= <style type="text/css"> .selectt { color: #fff; padding: 30px; display: none; margin-top: 30px; width: 60%; background: green } label { margin-right: 20px; } </style></head> <body> <center> <h1 style="color:green;"> GeeksforGeeks </h1> <h3> Show and Hide div elements using checkbox </h3> <div> <label> <input type="checkbox" name="colorCheckbox" value="C"> C</label> <label> <input type="checkbox" name="colorCheckbox" value="Cplus"> C++</label> <label> <input type="checkbox" name="colorCheckbox" value="Python"> Python</label> <label> <input type="checkbox" name="colorCheckbox" value="Java"> Java</label> </div> <div class="C selectt"> <strong>C</strong> is a procedural programming language</div> <div class="Cplus selectt"> <strong>C++</strong> is a general purpose programming language</div> <div class="Python selectt"> <strong>Python</strong> is a widely used general-purpose, high level programming language.</div> <div class="Java selectt"> <strong>Java</strong> is a most popular programming language for many years.</div> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('input[type="checkbox"]').click(function() { var inputValue = $(this).attr("value"); $("." + inputValue).toggle(); }); }); </script> </center></body> </html> |
