When displaying a div on hover, how can you target a specific div?
I need to display a hidden div from a link is on top of the page, and I can't figure out how.
When i tested, if the link and the div are one after the other, it displays corectly. but if i add another link before the first one, it does not work anymore.
From my testing using this CSS:
.expandable{
display: none;
}
.expand:hover+.expandable{
display:inline !important;
}
.expandable:hover{
display:inline !important;
}
And this HTML:
<div class="expand">expand</div> <!--this does not do anithing-->
<div class="expand">expand</div> <!--this works-->
<div class="expandable">expandable</div>
Try the below one
.expandable{
display: none;
}
.expand:hover ~.expandable{
display:inline !important;
}
.expandable:hover{
display:inline !important;
}
Only the hover on the second div works because of the behaviour of the '+' selector

What W3C says :
Select and style every p element that are placed immediately after div elements:
div + p {
background-color: yellow;
}
you can hide div by id using : jQuery :
<div id=“div”>
</div>
<script>
$(“#div”).hide("slow"); // you can change "hide" to "show"
</script>
Is there a way to make this work. I want to hover over the outer div and hide a child element without using javascript. Is something like this possible?
.fullwrap:nth-child(1):hover {
display: none;
}
To hide a child element you need an structure like this:
#parent:hover .yourchild {
display:none;
}
Where #parent is your outer div and has the :hover action, then you just match the child element to make it hide.
In this case I guess you have some structure like this:
<div class="fullwrap">
<div>One</div>
<div>Two</div>
<div>Three</div>
</div>
Then to hide a child you can do some like this:
.fullwrap:hover :nth-child(1) {
display: none;
}
Check this Demo http://jsfiddle.net/55TWN/
Can I realize this behavior by pure CSS:
If parent block has "hidden" class it child elements with "a" class must be invisible
Example
<div class="parent">
<div class="a"></div> // Visible
<div class="b"></div> // Visible
</div>
<div class="parent hidden">
<div class="a"></div> // Invisible
<div class="b"></div> // Visible
</div>
Try this
.parent.hidden .a
{
///display: none;
}
note:
visibility:hidden hides an element, but it will still take up the same space as before. The element will be hidden, but still affect the layout.
and
display:none hides an element, and it will not take up any space. The element will be hidden, and the page will be displayed as if the element is not there
Simply like this :
.parent.hidden .a { display: none; }
Note there is no space between .parent and .hidden.
Simply use a normal contextual selector:
.hidden .a { visibility: hidden; }
If you actually meant removing the element from rendering, instead of making it invisible (a rather different thing), then you would use .hidden .a { display: none; }.
It would, however, be illogical and confusing (to people reading the HTML source) to use a class name hidden for an element that is not itself meant to be hidden. A name like hidelinks might be better.
Yes, it is possible.
Try this:
.parent.hidden .a{visibility:hidden;}
DEMO.
Try this
.parent .a, .hidden .a{ visibility:hidden;}
Yes you can.
Add the below to your CSS.
div.parent.hidden .a{visibililty:hidden;}
Hope this helps.
I have a menu and three hidden divs that show up depending on what option the user selects. I would like to show / hide them on click using only CSS. I have it working with jquery right now but I want it to be accessible with js disabled. Somebody here provided this code for someone else but it only works with div:hover or div:active, when I change it to div:visited it doesn't work. Would I need to add something or perhaps this isn't the right way to do it? I appreciate any help :)
The thing is my client wants this particular divs to slide/fade when the menu is selected, but I still want them to display correctly with javascript turned off. Maybe z-index could do the trick...?
For a CSS-only solution, try using the checkbox hack. Basically, the idea is to use a checkbox and assign different styles based on whether the box is checked or not used the :checked pseudo selector. The checkbox can be hidden, if need be, by attaching it to a label.

This can be achieved by attaching a "tabindex" to an element. This will make that element "clickable". You can then use :focus to select your hidden div as follows...
.clicker {
width:100px;
height:100px;
background-color:blue;
outline:none;
cursor:pointer;
}
.hiddendiv{
display:none;
height:200px;
background-color:green;
}
.clicker:focus + .hiddendiv{
display:block;
}
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<div class="clicker" tabindex="1">Click me</div>
<div class="hiddendiv"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The + selector will select the nearest element AFTER the "clicker" div. You can use other selectors but I believe there is no current way to select an element that is not a sibling or child.
Although a bit unstandard, a possible solution is to contain the content you want to show/hide inside the <a> so it can be reachable through CSS:
http://jsfiddle.net/Jdrdh/2/
a .hidden {
visibility: hidden;
}
a:visited .hidden {
visibility: visible;
}
<div id="container">
<a href="#">
A
<div class="hidden">hidden content</div>
</a>
</div>
Fiddle to your heart's content
HTML
<div>
<a tabindex="1" class="testA">Test A</a> | <a tabindex="2" class="testB">Test B</a>
<div class="hiddendiv" id="testA">1</div>
<div class="hiddendiv" id="testB">2</div>
</div>
CSS
.hiddendiv {display: none; }
.testA:focus ~ #testA {display: block; }
.testB:focus ~ #testB {display: block; }
Benefits
You can put your menu links horizontally = one after the other in HTML code, and then you can put all the content one after another in the HTML code, after the menu.
In other words - other solutions offer an accordion approach where you click a link and the content appears immediately after the link. The next link then appears after that content.
With this approach you don't get the accordion effect. Rather, all links remain in a fixed position and clicking any link simply updates the displayed content. There is also no limitation on content height.
How it works
In your HTML, you first have a DIV. Everything else sits inside this DIV. This is important - it means every element in your solution (in this case, A for links, and DIV for content), is a sibling to every other element.
Secondly, the anchor tags (A) have a tabindex property. This makes them clickable and therefore they can get focus. We need that for the CSS to work. These could equally be DIVs but I like using A for links - and they'll be styled like my other anchors.
Third, each menu item has a unique class name. This is so that in the CSS we can identify each menu item individually.
Fourth, every content item is a DIV, and has the class="hiddendiv". However each each content item has a unique id.
In your CSS, we set all .hiddendiv elements to display:none; - that is, we hide them all.
Secondly, for each menu item we have a line of CSS. This means if you add more menu items (ie. and more hidden content), you will have to update your CSS, yes.
Third, the CSS is saying that when .testA gets focus (.testA:focus) then the corresponding DIV, identified by ID (#testA) should be displayed.
Last, when I just said "the corresponding DIV", the trick here is the tilde character (~) - this selector will select a sibling element, and it does not have to be the very next element, that matches the selector which, in this case, is the unique ID value (#testA).
It is this tilde that makes this solution different than others offered and this lets you simply update some "display panel" with different content, based on clicking one of those links, and you are not as constrained when it comes to where/how you organise your HTML. All you need, though, is to ensure your hidden DIVs are contained within the same parent element as your clickable links.
Season to taste.
In 2022 you can do this with just HTML by using the details element. A summary or label must be provided using the summary element. details is supported by all major browsers.
<details>
<summary>Click Here for more info</summary>
Here is the extra info you were looking for.
</details>
HTML
<input type="text" value="CLICK TO SHOW CONTENT">
<div id="content">
and the content will show.
</div>
CSS
#content {
display: none;
}
input[type="text"]{
color: transparent;
text-shadow: 0 0 0 #000;
padding: 6px 12px;
width: 150px;
cursor: pointer;
}
input[type="text"]:focus{
outline: none;
}
input:focus + div#content {
display: block;
}
<input type="text" value="CLICK TO SHOW CONTENT">
<div id="content">
and the content will show.
</div>
A little hack-ish but it works. Note that the label tag can be placed any where. The key parts are:
The css input:checked+div selects the div immediately next to/after the input
The label for said checkbox (or hey leave out the label and just have the checkbox)
display:none hides stuff
Code:
<head>
<style>
#sidebar {height:100%; background:blue; width:200px; clear:none; float:left;}
#content {height:100%; background:green; width:400px; clear:none; float:left;}
label {background:yellow;float:left;}
input{display:none;}
input:checked+#sidebar{display:none;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<label for="hider">Hide</label>
<input type="checkbox" id="hider">
<div id="sidebar">foo</div>
<div id="content">hello</div>
</div>
</body>
EDIT: Sorry could have read the question better.
One could also use css3 elements to create the slide/fade effect. I am not familiar enough with them to be much help with that aspect but they do exist. Browser support is iffy though.
You could combine the above effect with javascript to use fancy transitions and still have a fall back. jquery has a css method to override the above and slide and fade for transitions.
Tilda(~) mean some sibling after; not next sibling like plus(+).
[key="value"] is an attribute selector.
Radio buttons must have same name
To string tabs together one could use:
<html>
<head>
<style>
input[value="1"]:checked ~ div[id="1"]{
display:none;
}
input[value="2"]:checked ~ div[id="2"]{
display:none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<input type="radio" name="hider" value="1">
<input type="radio" name="hider" value="2">
<div id="1">div 1</div>
<div id="2">div 2</div>
</body>
</html>
You could do this with the CSS3 :target selector.
menu:hover block {
visibility: visible;
}
block:target {
visibility:hidden;
}
You're going to have to either use JS or write a function/method in whatever non-markup language you're using to do this. For instance you could write something that will save the status to a cookie or session variable then check for it on page load. If you want to do it without reloading the page then JS is going to be your only option.
if 'focus' works for you (i.e. stay visible while element has focus after click) then see this existing SO answer:
Hide Show content-list with only CSS, no javascript used
You can find <div> by id, look at it's style.display property and toggle it from none to block and vice versa.
function showDiv(Div) {
var x = document.getElementById(Div);
if(x.style.display=="none") {
x.style.display = "block";
} else {
x.style.display = "none";
}
}
<div id="welcomeDiv" style="display:none;" class="answer_list">WELCOME</div>
<input type="button" name="answer" value="Show Div" onclick="showDiv('welcomeDiv')" />
With this method, when you click on Nav Dropdown elements it will NOT disappear, unlike plain :focus solution.
key is:
tabindex in parent element
parentDiv:focus-within hiddenDiv { display: block;}
it will work with both: display and visibility css;
HTML code:
<div className="DevNavBar dbb">
{/* MAKE SURE TO ADD TABINDEX TO PARENT ELEMENT, OTHERWISE FAILS */}
<div className="DevNavBar_Item1 drr" tabIndex="0">
item1
<div className="DevNavBar_Item1_HiddenMenu dgg">
<ul>
<li>blah1</li>
<li>blah2</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS code:
.DevNavBar {
padding: 40px;
}
.DevNavBar_Item1 {
padding: 20px;
width: fit-content;
cursor: pointer;
position: relative;
}
.DevNavBar_Item1:hover {
color: red;
}
.DevNavBar_Item1_HiddenMenu {
display: none;
position: absolute;
padding: 10px;
background-color: white;
z-index: 10;
left: 0;
top: 70px;
}
.DevNavBar_Item1:focus {
color: red; // this is so that when Nav Item is opened, color stays red
}
.DevNavBar_Item1:focus-within .DevNavBar_Item1_HiddenMenu {
display: block;
color: black; // this is to remove Bubbling, otherwise it will be RED, like the hover effect
}

CSS does not have an onlclick event handler. You have to use Javascript.
See more info here on CSS Pseudo-classes: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_pseudo_classes.asp
a:link {color:#FF0000;} /* unvisited link - link is untouched */
a:visited {color:#00FF00;} /* visited link - user has already been to this page */
a:hover {color:#FF00FF;} /* mouse over link - user is hovering over the link with the mouse or has selected it with the keyboard */
a:active {color:#0000FF;} /* selected link - the user has clicked the link and the browser is loading the new page */
Is it possible to make a div invisible without commenting it out? If so, how?
You need to hide that with CSS:
div { /* this will hide all divs on the page */
display:none;
}
If it is a particular div with certain class or id, you can hide it like:
<div class="div_class_name">Some Content</div>
CSS:
div.div_class_name { /* this will hide div with class div_class_name */
display:none;
}
Or
<div id="div_id_name">Some Content</div>
CSS:
div#div_id_name { /* this will hide div with id div_id_name */
display:none;
}
Note: You need to wrap CSS tyles in between <style type="text/css"></style> tags, example:
<style type="text/css">
div#div_id_name {
display:none;
}
</style>
More Information :)
You can do this by inline style
<div style="display:none"></div>
or by defining CSS Style like
In css add
.HideableDiv{display:none;}
and in your HTML write
<div class="HideableDiv" ></div>
Its Easy. The only thing you need is, adding a style to it, like following example shows:
CSS:
<style type="text/css">
div.myInvisibleDiv {
overflow: hidden;
visibility: hidden;
height: 0;
width: 0;
}
</style>
HTML:
<div class="myInvisibleDiv"><p>My invisible content</p></div>
This div, and it content does definitely not show, and it wont disturb surrounding elements.
if you want it to be essentially gone from your layout:
.element_class {
display:none;
}
if you want to just make it invisible (but still keeping it's space seemingly empty)
.element_class {
visibility: hidden;
}
and then your element (if a div) would look like this:
<div class="element_class"></div>
basically anything you add the class="element_class" to will be either invisible or completely hidden.
position: absolute;
left: -99999px; /* big number */
will make the content accessible to most screen readers but will render the element off-screen.
May be, its not the required solution, but you can tackle this kind of issues by these little tricks.
You can use jQuery to achieve the solution.
If you want to totally hide/show the div, then you can use:
$('#my_element').show()
$('#my_element').hide()
Or if you want that your div become invisible and its still existing in the page, then you can use efficient trick:
$('#my_element').css('opacity', '0.0'); // invisible Maximum
$('#my_element').css('opacity', '1.0'); // visible maximum
