ToggleShow elements only in this certain div clicked to show

Question

I have dynamic content with certain divs hidden on load. On button click the certain elements in this certain div should appear visible.

I've tried the following at the moment:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".hide").hide();
    $('.toggle').click(function(){
        $(this).next().slideToggle();
    });
});

But the logic behind this would be something like this:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".hide").hide();
    $('.toggle').click(function(){
        $(this).next('.hide').slideToggle();
    });
});

Here's the JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/jvt7r5qv/1/

How could this be improved?

Answer 1

Sir you are looking for something like this toggle class of .closest() this is the answer i like most http://jsfiddle.net/6whzQ/

el.closest('class').toggleClass('class')

Answer 2

The problem is that the .toggle elements aren't siblings with the .hide elements. As the documentation states, the .next() method will select the immediately following sibling element.

If you want to select the next adjacent .pub-col element that contains a .hide element, then you could use the .nextAll() method (which would select any following sibling that matches the selector), then chain the .first() method since .nextAll() returns a collection. From there, you can find the .hide() descendant element with the .find() method and then remove the .hide class and show the element.

$(".hide").hide();
$('.toggle').click(function() {
  $(this).nextAll(':has(.hide)')
    .first()
    .find('.hide')
    .removeClass('hide')
    .slideToggle();
});

In doing so, your click function will work when clicking on it multiple times.

Updated Example

$(".hide").hide();
$('.toggle').click(function() {
  $(this).nextAll(':has(.hide)')
         .first()
         .find('.hide')
         .removeClass('hide')
         .slideToggle();
});

Answer 3

$.next() finds the next element in the DOM that matches the (optional) selector inside. So $.next('.hide') doesn't match anything since the next element after .toggle isn't .hide - .hide is nested inside the next element. So to find .hide, target the next element after .toggle, then use $.find() to target the nested .hide element.

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".hide").hide();
    $('.toggle').click(function(){
        $(this).next().find('.hide').slideToggle();
    });
});
