Show/Hide Content With CSS & Javascript


My apologies for the recent lack of updates and the briefness of this post, things have been (and still are) really busy on my end. Anyway, when building websites for my clients a popular request is to have content that can be toggled by the user. Today I’ll show you have to have this effect done really quickly. Although this method does not support persistence (saving cookies to the users browser to remember what they have hidden/shown), I’m sure there are some who will find it useful.

Place this code in your tags.


Now you can effectively show/hide content by placing id=”elementname” style=”display:none;” inside the element tag you wish to be toggle-able, and onclick=”shToggle(’elementname‘); return false;” inside the link code of the image or text the user clicks to toggle it. You can see a live example of it on this page, or simply look at the example code snippet below.
