Image filter with javascript

Question

I am new to web development. I am trying to create my photography webpage. I have created a basic html design. I want to filter the image when the specific button is clicked. I went through the w3schools code about it but could not get quite clear about it. Not with the JQuery. Here is my html code with buttons. Thank you

Because both of your images had 'nature' on them, a filter would not have had any effect. I adapted your code to the w3schools example, but changed it so that the first image had 'nature' as a filter , and the second had 'bird' as a filter.

Incidentally, there is no underscore between the column and the filter name (If you put one in, as you did in your code) it won't work. I adapted this too.

Best of luck

/*this goes in your script.js*/

filterSelection("all") // Execute the function and show all columns
function filterSelection(c) {
  var x, i;
  x = document.getElementsByClassName("column");
  if (c == "all") c = "";
  // Add the "show" class (display:block) to the filtered elements, and remove the "show" class from the elements that are not selected
  for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
    w3RemoveClass(x[i], "show");
    if (x[i].className.indexOf(c) > -1) w3AddClass(x[i], "show");
  }
}

// Show filtered elements
function w3AddClass(element, name) {
  var i, arr1, arr2;
  arr1 = element.className.split(" ");
  arr2 = name.split(" ");
  for (i = 0; i < arr2.length; i++) {
    if (arr1.indexOf(arr2[i]) == -1) {
      element.className += " " + arr2[i];
    }
  }
}

// Hide elements that are not selected
function w3RemoveClass(element, name) {
  var i, arr1, arr2;
  arr1 = element.className.split(" ");
  arr2 = name.split(" ");
  for (i = 0; i < arr2.length; i++) {
    while (arr1.indexOf(arr2[i]) > -1) {
      arr1.splice(arr1.indexOf(arr2[i]), 1); 
    }
  }
  element.className = arr1.join(" ");
}

// Add active class to the current button (highlight it)
var btnContainer = document.getElementById("myBtnContainer");
var btns = btnContainer.getElementsByClassName("btn");
for (var i = 0; i < btns.length; i++) {
  btns[i].addEventListener("click", function(){
    var current = document.getElementsByClassName("active");
    current[0].className = current[0].className.replace(" active", "");
    this.className += " active";
  });
}

/*this bit will go into your style.css file*/

* {
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
    background-color: #f1f1f1;
    padding: 20px;
    font-family: Arial;
}

/* Center website */
.main {
    max-width: 1000px;
    margin: auto;
}

h1 {
    font-size: 50px;
    word-break: break-all;
}

.row {
    margin: 8px -16px;
}

/* Add padding BETWEEN each column (if you want) */
.row,
.row > .column {
    padding: 8px;
}

/* Create three equal columns that floats next to each other */
.column {
    float: left;
    width: 33.33%;
    display: none; /* Hide columns by default */
}

/* Clear floats after rows */ 
.row:after {
    content: "";
    display: table;
    clear: both;
}

/* Content */
.content {
    background-color: white;
    padding: 10px;
}

/* The "show" class is added to the filtered elements */
.show {
    display: block;
}

/* Style the buttons */
.btn {
  border: none;
  outline: none;
  padding: 12px 16px;
  background-color: white;
  cursor: pointer;
}

/* Add a grey background color on mouse-over */
.btn:hover {
  background-color: #ddd;
}

/* Add a dark background color to the active button */
.btn.active {
  background-color: #666;
   color: white;
}
