How to replace div with another div in javascript?

Question

How to replace div with another div in javascript?

This is what I have:

<div id="main_place">
main
</div>

<button onclick="show(operation1)">Replace to operation 1</button>
<button onclick="show(operation2)">Replace to operation 2</button>
<button onclick="show(operation3)">Replace to operation 3</button>


<div id=operation1 style=“display:none”>
Some textboxes and text
</div>

<div id=operation2 style=“display:none”>
Again some textboxes and text
</div>

<div id=operation3 style=“display:none”>
And again some textboxes and text
</div>

<script>
function show(param_div_id){
        document.getElementById('main_place').innerHTML = Here should be div from param;
        }
</script>

Is it even possible to do it without jquery?

Answer 1

Pass strings into your method and get the other div

<div id="main_place">
  main
</div>

<button onclick="show('operation1')">Replace to operation 1</button>
<button onclick="show('operation2')">Replace to operation 2</button>
<button onclick="show('operation3')">Replace to operation 3</button>


<div id=operation1 style=“display:none”>
  Some textboxes and text
</div>

<div id=operation2 style=“display:none”>
  Again some textboxes and text
</div>

<div id=operation3 style=“display:none”>
  And again some textboxes and text
</div>

<script>
  function show(param_div_id) {
    document.getElementById('main_place').innerHTML = document.getElementById(param_div_id).innerHTML;
  }
</script>
