The content of the ng-if still shows if I click the button. But I want it only to show in a specific situation. In another situation the button should unhide a different <div>
I thought the part after ng-if gets removed in the DOM, so I am wondering why it is even able to show up.
<tr>
<td>{{approval_item.requested_for}}</td>
<td><a data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".{{approval_item.document_id_number}}"><i class="fa fa-trash"></i></a></td>
</tr>
<div ng-if="0">
<tr class="hide-table-padding collapse {{approval_item.document_id_number}}">
<td colspan="5">
<tr class="collapse {{approval_item.document_id_number}}">
<td><b>Item / Service</b></td>
<td><b>Quantity</b></td>
<td><b>One-time Price</b></td>
<td><b>Monthly</b></td>
<td><b>Yearly</b></td>
</tr>
<tr class="collapse {{approval_item.document_id_number}}" ng-repeat="requested_item in approval_item.request_ritms">
<td><a href="{{requested_item.link}}">{{requested_item.name}}</a></td>
<td>{{requested_item.quantity}}</td>
<td>{{requested_item.price_string}}</td>
<td>{{requested_item.price_monthly_string}}</td>
<td>{{requested_item.price_yearly_string}}</td>
</tr>
<tr class="collapse {{approval_item.document_id_number}}">
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td><b>One-time Total</b></td>
<td><b>Monthly Total</b></td>
<td><b>Annually Total</b></td>
</tr>
<tr class="collapse {{approval_item.document_id_number}}">
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td>{{approval_item.price_string}}</td>
<td>{{approval_item.price_monthly_string}}</td>
<td>{{approval_item.price_yearly_string}}</td>
</tr>
</td>
</tr>
</div>
The problem is that div can't be a child of table.
If you want to hide the row, you should remove the div and move the ng-if into the tr itself.
Do
angular.module('myApp', [])
.controller("Ctrl_List", ["$scope", function(s) {}])<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.7.5/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="myApp">
<div class="container" ng-controller="Ctrl_List">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
row 1
</td>
</tr>
<tr ng-if="0">
<td>
row 2
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>Don't
angular.module('myApp', [])
.controller("Ctrl_List", ["$scope", function(s) {}])<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.7.5/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="myApp">
<div class="container" ng-controller="Ctrl_List">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
row 1
</td>
</tr>
<div ng-if="0">
<tr>
<td>
row 2
</td>
</tr>
</div>
</table>
</div>
</div>
