I have multiple buttons where a menu drops down when you click on one button AND all the other dropdown menus will be closed. I currently have 9 of those and corresponding 9 functions for that purpose:
function myFunction5() {
document.getElementById("myDropdown1").classList.remove("show");
document.getElementById("myDropdown2").classList.remove("show");
document.getElementById("myDropdown3").classList.remove("show");
document.getElementById("myDropdown4").classList.remove("show");
document.getElementById("myDropdown5").classList.toggle("show");
document.getElementById("myDropdown6").classList.remove("show");
document.getElementById("myDropdown7").classList.remove("show");
document.getElementById("myDropdown9").classList.remove("show"); }
This opens dropdown menu 5 and closes all others.
I would like to have only one function for that instead of 9. How do i do that?
EDIT:
Complete code example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.dropbtn {
background-color: #3498DB;
color: white;
padding: 16px;
font-size: 16px;
border: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
.dropbtn:hover, .dropbtn:focus {
background-color: #2980B9;
}
.dropdown {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.dropdown-content {
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: #f1f1f1;
min-width: 160px;
overflow: auto;
box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
z-index: 1;
}
.dropdown-content a {
color: black;
padding: 12px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
}
.dropdown a:hover {background-color: #ddd;}
.show {display: block;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="dropdown">
<button onclick="myFunction1()" class="dropbtn">Dropdown</button>
<div id="myDropdown1" class="dropdown-content">
<a href="#home">Home</a>
<a href="#about">About</a>
<a href="#contact">Contact</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="dropdown">
<button onclick="myFunction2()" class="dropbtn">Dropdown</button>
<div id="myDropdown2" class="dropdown-content">
<a href="#home">Home</a>
<a href="#about">About</a>
<a href="#contact">Contact</a>
</div>
</div>
<script>
function myFunction1() {
document.getElementById("myDropdown1").classList.toggle("show");
document.getElementById("myDropdown2").classList.remove("show");
}
function myFunction2() {
document.getElementById("myDropdown1").classList.remove("show");
document.getElementById("myDropdown2").classList.toggle("show");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Imagine this 9 times...
Try this:-
<script type="text/javascript">
function manageDropdown(id)
{
var dropdown = document.getElementsByClassName('dropdown-content');
for(i=0;i<dropdown.length;i++)
{
var innerId = dropdown[i].getAttribute('id');
if (innerId == id) {
dropdown[i].classList.remove("hide");
} else {
dropdown[i].classList.add("hide");
}
}
}
</script>
<div class="dropdown">
<button onclick="manageDropdown('myDropdown1')" class="dropbtn">Dropdown</button>
<div id="myDropdown1" class="dropdown-content">
<a href="#home">Home</a>
<a href="#about">About</a>
<a href="#contact">Contact</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="dropdown">
<button onclick="manageDropdown('myDropdown2')" class="dropbtn">Dropdown</button>
<div id="myDropdown2" class="dropdown-content hide">
<a href="#home">Home</a>
<a href="#about">About</a>
<a href="#contact">Contact</a>
</div>
</div>
