I am trying to build the FAQ section of my company's website. The FAQ is using a drop down menu for each question -> when the "+" is clicked the answer is shown and that changes to "-". When I close the question I expect "-" to turn into "+" but it doesn't until I click on a different question, than it changes.
Here is my code:
var acc = document.getElementsByClassName("accordion");
var i;
for (i = 0; i < acc.length; i++) {
acc[i].addEventListener("click", function() {
var panel = this.nextElementSibling;
if (panel.style.maxHeight){
panel.style.maxHeight = null;
} else {
let active = document.querySelectorAll(".accordion-div .accordion.active");
for(let j = 0; j < active.length; j++){
active[j].classList.remove("active");
active[j].nextElementSibling.style.maxHeight = null;
}
this.classList.toggle("active");
panel.style.maxHeight = panel.scrollHeight + "px";
}
});
}.accordion {
cursor: pointer;
background-color:#ffffff;
color: #082f55;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-top: 18px;
padding-right: 18px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
width: 100%;
font-weight: bold;
border: none;
text-align: left;
outline: none;
transition: all 0.5s;
}
.accordion:hover {
color: #b0cb1f;
}
.accordion:after {
content: "\02795";
font-size: 13px;
float: right;
margin-left: 5px;
}
.active:after{
content: "\2796";
}
.panel {
width: 100%;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
max-height: 0;
transition: max-height 0.5s;
overflow: hidden;
}
.answer{
margin-top: 10px;
padding-left: 30px;
padding-right: 50px;
}
.horLine{
margin-top: 18px;
border-bottom: 1px groove;
}Can someone help?
It's a little tricky to resolve this one without the HTML, but I believe you should be using jQuery's toggleClass() instead of toggle(). Try rewriting this line with toggle:
this.classList.toggle("active");
into this:
this.classList.toggleClass("active");
.toggleClass() will switch between classes like you want, and .toggle() is for toggling between .hide() & .show() for the selected element.
