I'm using this js code to show/hide elements on my site:
<script>
function myFunction3() {
var x = document.getElementById("dsec-three");
if (x.style.display === "none") {
x.style.display = "block";
} else {
x.style.display = "none";
}
}
</script>
Can anyone help me to set it so the elements are hidden on load and only show once activated?
you can use class for show/hide elements same as :
function showHide(){
element = document.getElementById('element1');
showHideEle(element)
}
function showHideMulti(){
elements = document.getElementsByClassName('multi');
Array.from(elements).forEach(ele => {
showHideEle(ele)
});
}
function showHideEle(ele){
let isHide = ele.classList.contains('hide');
if (isHide) {
ele.classList.remove("hide");
} else {
ele.classList.add("hide");
}
}.hide {
display: none
}<p class="hide" id="element1">para 1</p>
<button onclick="showHide()">Show/Hide</button>
<br />
<p class="hide multi">para 2</p>
<p class="hide multi">para 3</p>
<p class="hide multi">para 4</p>
<button onclick="showHideMulti()">Show/Hide Multi</button>Your function myFunction3 already does the job of hiding and showing the relevant elements. All you need to do now is invoke the function when your document loads. You can do this by adding the following line inside your <script>:
document.addEventListener("load", myFunction3);
If you need the elements to stay hidden by default and show them after the document loads, you'll need to set the display property of those elements to none either via inline CSS.
Example (if your element is a div) :
<div id="dsec-three" style="display:none">
...
</div>
what do you mean by activated?
if you mean that after the load of your page, you would need an event listener.
follow these steps:
set the initial display of your element to none.
create an event listener like load: and add your function there:
document.addEventListerer('load', function(){ myFunction3(); })
the above code is telling the browser: 'when ever the page loads, call this function'
