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 🙂

Hi,

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

Hope this helps!  
Best,

**Mustafa**

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:

```javascript
 $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:

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

```

Here is some more information from the Wix API.

Best,  
Majd

Hi Majid,

I’m still having issues understanding. Is there any way you can take time to walk me though what I need done, please?
