Show multiple div when clicked in Bootstrap Carousel

Question

DEMO JSFiddle

I'm trying to show multiple div when a button is clicked. For instance, I want to show all the divs with id=div1 only when Button1 is clicked. Likewise, show all the divs with id=div2 only when Button2 is clicked. The same goes for other slides too in increasing number.

HTML:

<div class="container">
  <div id="myCarousel" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">

    <!-- Wrapper for slides -->
    <div class="carousel-inner" role="listbox">
      <div class="item active">
        <div class="divA">
          <div class="divAA">
            <div id="div1" class="targetDiv">
              <p>Div1 Intro: Hidden until Button1 is clicked</p>
            </div>
          </div>
          <p>
            Div1 Short to be shown by default.
            <span id="div1" class="targetDiv">Hidden span until Button1 is clicked</span>
          </p>
          <a class="showSingle" target="1">Button1</a>
          <div class="divAAA">
            <div id="div1" class="targetDiv">
              <p>
                Div1 Details: Hidden until Button1 is clicked.
              </p>
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>

      <div class="item">

              <span id="div2" class="targetDiv">Hidden span until Button1 is clicked</span>
              </p>
            </div>
          </div>
          <p>
            Div2 Short
          </p>
          <a class="showSingle" target="2">Button2</a>
          <div id="div2" class="targetDiv">

Javascript:

jQuery(function(){

              jQuery('.targetDiv').hide();
              jQuery('#div'+jQuery(this).attr('target')).show();
        });
});

Answer 1

You cannot use same id for multiple elements. You need to change the id's to class.

You can hide them initially using CSS - display:none , Then on button click it can be showed using the class selector instead of id selector.

Here is the changed code.

In case you prefer a fiddle : https://jsfiddle.net/ga6gmy8m/2/

jQuery(function(){
        jQuery('.showSingle').click(function(){
              jQuery('.targetDiv').hide();
             jQuery(this).hide(); jQuery('.div'+jQuery(this).attr('target')).show();
        });
});

.carousel {
  height: 200px;
  overflow-x: hidden;
  overflow-y: scroll;
}
.item {
  text-align: center;
}
.div2,.div1{
  display:none;
}
.showSingle {
  border: 1px solid #000;
  padding: 5px 10px;
  cursor: pointer;
}

Answer 2

Assign a class to the elements(divs) you want to show when a div is clicked. Make one class that can be assigned to those divs. Remember do not assign same ID's to the element since it can be a problem.
