Menu
I need some help. As you will see in my fiddle, I am attempting to use buttons to populate a single container div with content from multiple hidden divs, depending on which button is clicked. The problem I am having is, I don't know how to access the actual content in the hidden divs to populate the container div. As of now, I am using the id attributes for the hidden divs to demonstrate which div content I would like to display in the container.
I've seen a few other posts with link <a> attributes referencing hidden content, but none so far using a button element with click functionality to change div content.
jQuery(function ($) {
$('#button1').click(function () {
$('#info').empty();
$('#info').prepend('#option1');
});
$('#button2').click(function () {
$('#info').empty();
$('#info').prepend('#option2');
});
$('#button3').click(function () {
$('#info').empty();
$('#info').prepend('#option3');
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="button-panel">
<ul id="button-column" style="list-style: none;">
<li class="buttons"><button id="button1">Button 1</button></li>
<li class="buttons"><button id="button2">Button 2</button></li>
<li class="buttons"><button id="button3">Button 3</button></li>

<div class="info" id="option1">Box</div>
<div class="info" id="option2">Google Drive</div>
<div class="info" id="option3">Box</div>

Projects In JavaScript & JQuery To show and hide div on mouse click using jQuery, use the toggle() method. On mouse click, the div is visible and on again clicking the div, it hides.
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 .
The answer is definitely yes, but you will need to write javascript code for it. We can use a click handler on the div element to make it clickable.
Here's a version that uses jquery data attributes. It reduces the redundancy and complexity and can be configured easily.
<body>
<div class="button-panel">
<ul id="button-column" style="list-style: none;">
<li class="buttons"><button id="button1" data-link="option1">Button 1</button></li>
<li class="buttons"><button id="button2" data-link="option2">Button 2</button></li>
<li class="buttons"><button id="button3" data-link="option3">Button 3</button></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="info-div">
<div id="info">
</div>
</div>
<div id="hiddenDivs" style="display:none;">
<div class="info" id="option1">Box</div>
<div class="info" id="option2">Google Drive</div>
<div class="info" id="option3">Box</div>
</div>
</body>
<script>
$('.buttons button').click(function (){
$('#info').empty();
$('#info').html($("#" + $(this).data('link')).html());
});
</script>
