How to use "this" and not "this" selectors in qQuery
- by tg4FSI
I have 4 divs with content like below:
<div class="prodNav-Info-Panel">content</div>
<div class="prodNav-Usage-Panel">content</div>
<div class="prodNav-Guarantee-Panel">content</div>
<div class="prodNav-FAQ-Panel">content</div>
And a navigation list like this:
<div id="nav">
<ul id="navigation">
<li><a class="prodNav-Info" ></a></li>
<li><a class="prodNav-Usage" ></a></li>
<li><a class="prodNav-Guarantee"></a></li>
<li><a class="prodNav-FAQ" ></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
When the page is first displayed I show all the content by executing this:
$('div.prodNav-Usage-Panel').fadeIn('slow');
$('div.prodNav-Guarantee-Panel').fadeIn('slow');
$('div.prodNav-FAQ-Panel').fadeIn('slow');
$('div.prodNav-Info-Panel').fadeIn('slow');
Now, when you click the navigation list item it reveals the clicked content and hides the others, like this:
$('.prodNav-Info').click( function() {
$('div.prodNav-Info-Panel').fadeIn('slow');
$('div.prodNav-Usage-Panel').fadeOut('slow');
$('div.prodNav-Guarantee-Panel').fadeOut('slow');
$('div.prodNav-FAQ-Panel').fadeOut('slow');
});
So what I have is 4 separate functions because I do not know which content is currently displayed. I know this is inefficient and can be done with a couple of lines of code. It seems like there is a way of saying: when this is clicked, hide the rest.
Can I do this with something like $(this) and $(not this)?
Thanks,
Erik
