I'm trying to do a sequence of steps with jquery but I'm failing to achieve the result I want.
I have 3 steps, with a class of .wiki-step-
plus a number.
my javascript is this one:
function stepping() {
var stepButton = $("a.button");
var step = $("[class*='wiki-step-']");
stepButton.closest(step).hide().next(step).show();
}
$("a.button").on("click",function(){
stepping();
});
It works correctly with only 2 steps but I've noticed that if I add a third one, the jquery (next)
shows all the other steps at once but I want to show only the next div in line, not all of them.
Here's a fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/vsomcag2/1/ you can see how it shows the 2nd and 3rd step at once.
I can't use nextUntil()
i guess, I think I should use a counter of some sort but I don't know where to start. I would like to avoid specifying numbers because I would like to have the ability to add or remove steps without editing the js.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
function stepping() {
var stepButton = $("a.button");
var step = $("[class*='wiki-step-']");
stepButton.closest(step).hide().next(step).show();
}
$("a.button").on("click",function(){
stepping();
});
div[class*="wiki-step-"] {
display: none;
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
border:1px solid red;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="wiki-step-1" style="display:block">
<h1>step 1</h1>
<a href="#" class="button">next</a>
</div>
<div class="wiki-step-2">
<h1>step 2</h1>
<a href="#" class="button">next</a>
</div>
<div class="wiki-step-3">
<h1>step 3</h1>
</div>
You need to get reference to the clicked
object a
and show hide
according to that object.
function stepping(obj) {
var stepButton = $(obj);
var step = $("[class*='wiki-step-']");
stepButton.closest(step).hide().next(step).show();
}
$("a.button").on("click", function () {
stepping(this);
});
Here is jsfiddle
