I would like to change the content of a div. I have three divs:
<div
class="box1"
style="height: 200px; width: 200px; background-color: red"
>
A
</div>
<br />
<div
class="box2"
style="height: 200px; width: 200px; background-color: blue"
>
<label for="">tex</label>
<input type="text" />
</div>
<br />
<div
class="box3"
style="height: 200px; width: 200px; background-color: yellow"
>
C
</div>
when the page is ready the 2 and 3rd box displays none:
function hideElementBoxOnLoad() {
let box1 = document.querySelector(".box1");
let box2 = document.querySelector(".box2");
let box3 = document.querySelector(".box3");
box2.style.display = "none";
box3.style.display = "none";
}
$(document).ready(hideElementBoxOnLoad);
I want a click that toggles the content of box2 and box3 into box1 and then back to box1 content:
function changeContent() {
let chang = true;
let box1 = document.querySelector(".box1");
let box2 = document.querySelector(".box2");
let box3 = document.querySelector(".box3");
let box2Content = box2.textContent;
let box3Content = box3.textContent;
if (chang) {
box1.textContent = box2Content;
chang = !chang;
if ((box1.textContent === box2Content)) {
box1.textContent = box3Content;
}
}
}
let btn = document.getElementById("btn");
btn.addEventListener("click", changeContent);
So far it worked but it does not display the content of box2 only box3. what did i do wrong and what better way can i toggle with a boolean.
See below
Instead of trying to swap content between each div just use JS to go through the array of them and swap an active class between them;
var boxes = document.getElementsByClassName('box');
var change = document.getElementById('change');
var counter = 0;
change.addEventListener('click', function(){
boxes[counter].classList.remove('active');
boxes[counter].nextElementSibling.classList.add('active');
counter++;
if(counter === boxes.length) {
counter = 0;
boxes[0].classList.add('active');
}
});.box {
display: none;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: gray;
}
.box.active {
display:block
}<div class="box active">A</div>
<div class="box">B</div>
<div class="box">C</div>
<button id="change">Change Content</button>im not completely sure if i understood ur question. but below u can see and even test with the snippet button.
the button now add what ever content in in the yellow box, and whats in the input field of the blue box into the red box. listing them downwards.
if you want to replace the content completely.
just change the logic to box1.innerHTML += spacer+box3.innerHTML+spacer+input.value
this is the most simple way to do it thats easy to understand just by reading the code i think.
hope this helps!
function changeContent() {
//the button
const btn = document.getElementById("btn");
//the boxes
const box1 = document.getElementById("box1");
const box2 = document.getElementById("box2");
const box3 = document.getElementById("box3");
//a spacer
const spacer = "<br>";
//the input field
const input = document.getElementById("input");
//logic
box1.innerHTML += spacer+box3.innerHTML+spacer+input.value

</div>List of bugs :-
chang locally instead of globally, which make it true whenever you runs the function.For example :- When you click the button first time, the data is swapped, but for the second click, the data first div is lost and cannot be brought back...
Solution :- Store the data in an array in document.ready event handler and extract data from the array to update you html tags.
function hideElementBoxOnLoad() {
let box1 = document.querySelector(".box1");
let box2 = document.querySelector(".box2");
let box3 = document.querySelector(".box3");
box2.style.display = "none";
box3.style.display = "none";
content = [box1.textContent, box2.textContent, box3.textContent];
let btn = document.getElementById("btn");
btn.addEventListener("click", changeContent);
}
var content = [];
window.onload = (hideElementBoxOnLoad);
var index = 0;
function changeContent() {
let chang = true;
let box1 = document.querySelector(".box1");
/* let box2 = document.querySelector(".box2");
let box3 = document.querySelector(".box3");
let box2Content = box2.textContent;
let box3Content = box3.textContent;
if (chang) {
box1.textContent = box2Content;
chang = !chang;
if ((box1.textContent === box2Content)) {
box1.textContent = box3Content;
}
}
*/
function cycle(n, x = 0, y = content.length - 1, a = 1) {
n += a;
if (n > y) return x;
if (n < x) return y;
return n;
}
index = cycle(index);
box1.textContent = content[index];

<button id="btn"> CLICK ME </button>Explaination
Here I first stored the tags textContent in a array content, in the starting of the code.
Then, inside the button click handler, a simple cycle function to cycle on the values stored inside the content array.
