Toggle HTML with jQuery
Last modified on February 6th, 2017 by Vincy.
In this tutorial, we are going to see how to toggle HTML text element using jQuery. In the previous tutorial, we have seen horizontal expand/collapse with jQuery toggle().
In this example, we have shown the list of limited mail options in a left menu with more/less button. On the click event of this button, we are showing/hiding more options with the toggle effect.
HTML Menu for Toggling
This code shows the list of HTML menu items with more/less button to toggle.
<div id="option-list"> <p>Write Mail</p> <p>Inbox</p> <p>Sent Mail</p> <p>Drafts</p> <div id="more-option"> <p>Chat</p> <p>Spam</p> <p>Trash</p> </div> </div>
jQuery Toggle to Show/Hide Menu Options
This jQuery script is used to hide and show menu options with toggle effect.
function toggleText() {
if(!$("#more-option").is(':visible')) {
$("#more").hide();
$("#less").show();
} else {
$("#less").hide();
$("#more").show();
}
$("#more-option").slideToggle();
}
