Hi,
I’m a Wix beginner. I understand the onClick Expand/Collapse. My question is:

Is there code to make anything collapse when clicking something else?
Example, 3 buttons show text. When clicking one button, do I need to put the code for both the other 2 buttons that would need to collapse the previous text or is there 1 piece of code that will collapse anything thats open so that it will show the new expanded text?

In otherwords, do I need code for button #1 to collapse button #2 and more code for it to close button #3? Or, is there a code to collapse anything it finds open instead of having to specify 1,2, or 3?

Thanks for anyones help :slight_smile:

Hi,

As you have a button, you have to clarify what should happen inside each button onClick function.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Mustafa,

I get that, however… my question is do I clarify it to look for any of the other buttons that have been activated and close them down first before it activates itself? example:

when pressing button 1
it needs to check to close button 2 and button 3

and for button 2…
it needs to check to close button 1 and button 3?

What looking for is code to do something like this:

button 1…
check for ANYTHING to close… instead of having to code it to check for button 2 and then check for button 3.

Greetings,

To hide all elements of the same type you can do this:

 $w("Image").hide();

This takes all elements on the page with the Image type and hides it.

Here is how you get the type of the element if you are confused:

let myElement = $w("#myElement");
let elementType = myElement.type; // "$w.Type"

Here is some more information from the Wix API.
