I am using Twitter Bootstrap to create collapsible sections of text. The sections are expanded when a +
button is pressed. My html code as follows:
<div class="row-fluid summary">
<div class="span11">
<h2>MyHeading</h2>
</div>
<div class="span1">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#intro">+</button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row-fluid summary">
<div id="intro" class="collapse">
Here comes the text...
</div>
</div>
Is there a way to change the button to display -
instead of +
after the section is expanded (and change back to +
when it is collapsed again)?
Additional information: I hoped there would be a simple twitter-bootstrap/css/html-based solution to my problem. All responses so far make use of JavaScript or PHP. Because of this I want to add some more information about my development environment: I want to use this solution inside a SilverStripe-based (version 3.0.5) website which has some implications for the use of both PHP as well as JavaScript.
try this. http://jsfiddle.net/fVpkm/
Html:-
<div class="row-fluid summary">
<div class="span11">
<h2>MyHeading</h2>
</div>
<div class="span1">
<button class="btn btn-success" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#intro">+</button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row-fluid summary">
<div id="intro" class="collapse">
Here comes the text...
</div>
</div>
JS:-
$('button').click(function(){ //you can give id or class name here for $('button')
$(this).text(function(i,old){
return old=='+' ? '-' : '+';
});
});
Update With pure Css, pseudo elements
button.btn.collapsed:before
{
content:'+' ;
display:block;
width:15px;
}
button.btn:before
{
content:'-' ;
display:block;
width:15px;
}
Update 2 With pure Javascript
function handleClick()
{
this.value = (this.value == '+' ? '-' : '+');
}
document.getElementById('collapsible').onclick=handleClick;
