I've seen various examples come close to what I am looking for, but none of it seems to describe it how I exactly want it. I am a beginner to jQuery, so explanations welcome.
I'm looking for this to toggle the innerHTML
from -
to +
. Anyone know of a way to do this, efficiently?
jQuery/JavaScript
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".A1").click(function() {
$(".P1").toggle("slow");
$(".A1").html("+");
});
});
HTML
<div class="A1">-</div>
<h2 class="H1">Stuff</h2>
<div class="P1">
Stuffy, Stuffy, Stuffed, Stuffen', Stuffing, Good Luck Stuff
</div>
Thank you, anything relating to switching the inside text of an HTML element shall help. =)
How about adding a class that will let you know the expanded/collapsed status?
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".A1").click(function() {
var $this = $(this);
$(".P1").toggle("slow")
$this.toggleClass("expanded");
if ($this.hasClass("expanded")) {
$this.html("-");
} else {
$this.html("+");
}
});
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="A1 expanded">-</div>
<h2 class="H1">Stuff</h2>
<div class="P1">
Stuffy, Stuffy, Stuffed, Stuffen', Stuffing, Good Luck Stuff
</div>
