unable to create the tabbed panel in html

Question

i wish to create a tab panel with three tabs.. html code and script below:

<span id="tab1">
    <a href="#" onClick="showTabOne();"> Tab-1  |</a> 

</span>
<span id="tab2"><a href="#" onClick="showTabTwo();"> Tab-2  |</a> </span>
<span id="tab3"><a href="#" onClick="showTabThree();"> Tab-3  |</a> </span>
</div>



<script type="text/javascript">
    function showTabOne() {
        document.getElementById("tab1").innerHTML = "yayy ! this is tab-1";
    }

    function showTabTwo() {
        document.getElementById("tab2").innerHTML = "and this is tab-2";
    }

    function showTabThree() {
        document.getElementById("tab3").innerHTML = "and..tab-3";
    }
</script>

when i click on tab1, it shows its contents but tab1 heading goes missing and similarly for other two tabs.

Answer 1

this works really nicely.

HTML

</div>
<div class="tabs">
    <!-- Radio button and lable for #tab-content1 -->
    <input type="radio" name="tabs" id="tab1" checked >
    <label for="tab1">
       <i class="fa fa-rocket" aria-hidden="true"></i>
<span>Projects</span>
    </label>
    <!-- Radio button and lable for #tab-content2 -->
    <input type="radio" name="tabs" id="tab2">
    <label for="tab2">
        <i class="fa fa-users" aria-hidden="true"></i><span>Flash-Mobs</span>
    </label>
    <!-- Radio button and lable for #tab-content3 -->
    <input type="radio" name="tabs" id="tab3">
    <label for="tab3">
       <i class="fa fa-heartbeat" aria-hidden="true"></i><span>Movement</span>
    </label>
    <div id="tab-content1" class="tab-content">
        <h3>Positive Action Projects</h3>
        <p><!-- Tab content here --></p>
    </div> <!-- #tab-content1 -->
    <div id="tab-content2" class="tab-content">
        <h3>Internatonal Positive Action Days</h3>
        <p><!-- Tab content here --></p>
    </div> <!-- #tab-content2 -->
    <div id="tab-content3" class="tab-content">
     <h3>Grow the Movement</h3>
        <p><!-- Tab content here --></p>
    </div> <!-- #tab-content2 -->
    </div>

I think you should go with something like this..

<span ><a href="#" onClick="showTab(tab1);"> Tab-1  |</a> </span>
<span ><a href="#" onClick="showTab(tab2);"> Tab-2  |</a> </span>
<span ><a href="#" onClick="showTab(tab3);"> Tab-3  |</a> </span>


<div id="tab1" class="tabContents">   <!-- tabContents by default hidden-->
  tab 1 content
</div>
<div id="tab2" class="tabContents">
  tab 2 content
</div>
<div id="tab3" class="tabContents">
   tab 3 content
</div>


<script type="text/javascript">
    function showTab(tb) {
        var elements = getElementsByClassName('tabContents');
           for(i in elements ){
             elements[i].style.display = "none";
                }
        document.getElementById(tb).style.display = "block";
    }
</script>

Typically, you need to have a <span id = "tabContent"></span> after your tab links(headings).

The HTML code will look like:

<span id="tab1">
<a href="#" onClick="showTabOne();"> Tab-1  |</a> 

</span>
<span id="tab2"><a href="#" onClick="showTabTwo();"> Tab-2  |</a> </span>
<span id="tab3"><a href="#" onClick="showTabThree();"> Tab-3  |</a> </span>
<span id = "tabContent"></span> <!-- newly added line -->
</div>

And, the code should be changed like:

function showTabOne() {
    document.getElementById("tabContent").innerHTML = "yayy ! this is tab-1";
}

function showTabTwo() {
    document.getElementById("tabContent").innerHTML = "yayy ! this is tab-2";
}

function showTabThree() {
    document.getElementById("tabContent").innerHTML = "yayy ! this is tab-3";
}

Problem with your code is that you are replacing the tab1 link(heading) with the tab content.

Answer 4

use this

document.getElementById("tab1").innerHTML = document.getElementById("tab1").innerHTML + "yayy ! this is tab-1";
