Show hide divs on click in HTML and CSS without jQuery

I want something very similar to Theming collapsible headers located here:

http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.2.0-alpha.1/docs/content/content-collapsible.html

Without using JQuery, is this possible?

It's for a mobile site but the page is always going to be offline so I dont really want to use jquery. Also giving custom styling to jquery mobile is alot harder than using pure css and styling it yourself.

Solution

  • Five examples ahead:

    Using <detail> and <summary> tags (pure HTML)

    You can use HTML5's detail and summary tags to solve this problem without any CSS styling or JavaScript:

    <details>
  <summary>Collapse 1</summary>
  <p>Content 1...</p>
</details>
<details>
  <summary>Collapse 2</summary>
  <p>Content 2...</p>
</details>

    Using label and checkbox input

    Keeps the selected item opened and togglable.

    .collapse{
  cursor: pointer;
  display: block;
  background: #cdf;
}
.collapse + input{
  display: none; /* hide the checkboxes */
}
.collapse + input + div{
  display:none;
}
.collapse + input:checked + div{
  display:block;
}
    <label class="collapse" for="_1">Collapse 1</label>
<input id="_1" type="checkbox"> 
<div>Content 1</div>

<label class="collapse" for="_2">Collapse 2</label>
<input id="_2" type="checkbox">
<div>Content 2</div>

    Using label and named radio input

    Similar to checkboxes, it just closes the already opened one.
    Use name="c1" type="radio" on both inputs.

    .collapse{
  cursor: pointer;
  display: block;
  background: #cdf;
}
.collapse + input{
  display: none; /* hide the checkboxes */
}
.collapse + input + div{
  display:none;
}
.collapse + input:checked + div{
  display:block;
}
    <label class="collapse" for="_1">Collapse 1</label>
<input id="_1" type="radio" name="c1"> 
<div>Content 1</div>

<label class="collapse" for="_2">Collapse 2</label>
<input id="_2" type="radio" name="c1">
<div>Content 2</div>

    Using tabindex and :focus

    Similar to radio inputs, additionally you can trigger the states using the Tab key.
    Clicking outside of the accordion will close all opened items.

    .collapse > a{
  background: #cdf;
  cursor: pointer;
  display: block;
}
.collapse:focus{
  outline: none;
}
.collapse > div{
  display: none;
}
.collapse:focus div{
  display: block; 
}
    <div class="collapse" tabindex="1">
  <a>Collapse 1</a>
  <div>Content 1....</div>
</div>

<div class="collapse" tabindex="1">
  <a>Collapse 2</a>
  <div>Content 2....</div>
</div>

    Using :target

    Similar to using radio input, you can additionally use Tab and ⏎ keys to operate

    .collapse a{
  display: block;
  background: #cdf;
}
.collapse > div{
  display:none;
}
.collapse > div:target{
  display:block; 
}
    <div class="collapse">
  <a href="#targ_1">Collapse 1</a>
  <div id="targ_1">Content 1....</div>
</div>

<div class="collapse">
  <a href="#targ_2">Collapse 2</a>
  <div id="targ_2">Content 2....</div>
</div>
