Menu
Basically, my code right now keeps a few of the divs I have on my website hidden and then when you click on a link, it makes the divs appear.
I need help so that it so that when I click one link and a div appears and I click on another link, the previous one disappears.
So let's say I click the link 'About', the div appears, good. Then I click on 'Help' and that div just appears OVER 'About' making things messy.
<script type="text/javascript">
function unhide(divID) {
var item = document.getElementById(divID);
if (item) {
item.className=(item.className=='hidden')?'unhidden':'hidden';
}}
</script>
^That is my code, here is a sample of it in my website:
<div id="about" class="hidden">
<div class="content3">
<p>This is the about section.</p>
<p>It is currently still being worked on.</p>
</div>
</div>
The class 'content3' is just styling in my css file.
.content3 {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
width:750px;
height:600px;
padding:5px;
padding-left:40px;
margin-top:-650px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
UPDATE:
Sorry, I should elaborate more.. I need to be able to basically click a first link and have it show a box of text.
and then click a second link that will hide that box of text associated with the first link and show a new one that is associated with the second link.
This is my FULL code:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css">
<script type="text/javascript">
function unhide(divID) {
var item = document.getElementById(divID);
if (item) {
item.className=(item.className=='hidden')?'unhidden':'hidden';
}}
</script>

To display or hide a <div> by a <button> click, you can add the onclick event listener to the <button> element. The onclick listener for the button will have a function that will change the display attribute of the <div> from the default value (which is block ) to none .
To hide a div using JavaScript, get reference to the div element, and assign value of "none" to the element. style. display property.
You could do like this, if you want to display and hide particular div on click of button.
<style>
.hidden{
display:none;
}
.unhidden{
display:block;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function unhide(clickedButton, divID) {
var item = document.getElementById(divID);
if (item) {
if(item.className=='hidden'){
item.className = 'unhidden' ;
clickedButton.value = 'hide'
}else{
item.className = 'hidden';
clickedButton.value = 'unhide'
}
}}
</script>
<body>
<div id="about" class="hidden">
<div class="content3">
<p>This is the about section.</p>
<p>It is currently still being worked on.</p>
</div>
</div>
<input type="button" onclick="unhide(this, 'about') " value="unhide">
