I\'m trying to avoid using innerHTML
because it causes my browser to crash, probably due to the 250 milliseconds refresh rate.
Anyway, I would rather ha
You could either set the display property to none or the visibility property to hidden.
Set the display
CSS property of the div to none
.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/CSS/display
Example of setting it programmatically with Javascript: http://jsbin.com/ezanuv/1/edit
Then use CSS to hide and unhide the div. You can do something like this:
changeIt.style.visibility = 'hidden';
to make the div disappear. And
changeIt.style.visibility = 'visible';
to show it again.
I prefer using css display property. I have a running code which I wrote recently. Its very simple and scalable as well.
<HEad>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$.setDisplay = function (id){
if($("#" + id ).css('display') == 'none'){
$("#" + id ).css('display', 'block');
}
else
if($("#" + id ).css('display') == 'block'){
$("#" + id ).css('display', 'none');
}
}
$('*[id^="divheader"]').click(function (){
$.setDisplay($(this).data("id"));
});
});
</script>
</HEad>
<div id='divheader-div1' data-id='div1'>
This is the header Click to show/unshow
</div>
<div id='div1' style='display: block'>
<div>
<label for="startrow">Retail Price:</label>
<input type="text" name="price" id="price" value=""><small></small>
</div>
</div>
<div id='divheader-div2' data-id='div2'>
This is the header Click to show/unshow
</div>
<div id='div2' style='display: none'>
<div>
<label for="startrow">Division:</label>
<input type="text" name="division" id="division" value=""><small> </small>
</div>
</div>
The best way is to set the display none for hidden and block for visible
//the element is the div you want to hide or display
element.style.display = (element.style.display == "block") ? "none": "block";
