I want to make a window that expands when clicked and closes when clicked again. I am using flask to display all lines of data but that should not be a problem and can actually be ignored. Right now I have it set that when you click the div it expands but once you let go the div closes again. Is there any way I can turn this div into a toggle of some kind many using python or javascript or even CSS?
HTML/Python flask:
<div class="container">
{%for i, value in verb_data.items() %}
<div class="indevidual_verbs">{{ i }} . {{ value }}</div><br>
{%endfor%}
</div>
CSS:
.indevidual_verbs {
cursor: pointer;
}
.indevidual_verbs:active {
padding-bottom: 300px;
}
Depending on what you want to do, you could even use the details html element, that automatically implements that functionality.
If you can use javascript, there is a way to easily toggle a class:
// Get a reference to the container
const container = document.getElementById("container");
// When we click on the container...
container.addEventListener("click", function (e) {
// we can toggle the "open" class
this.classList.toggle("open");
});/* Just a way to show the container */
#container {
padding: 20px;
border: solid 1px #000;
}
/* Hide the content (you can do it in many different ways) */
#container .inner {
display: none;
}
/* Show the content when the "open" class is added to the container */
#container.open .inner {
display: block;
}<div id="container">
<div class="inner">
This is just some example text
</div>
</div>
