I have a problem with my site. I want to show a div on button click and hide it on another button click so I use JavaScript functions
function DisplayMessage() {
var messagebox = document.getElementById("messageConfirmation");
messagebox.style.display = "block";
}
function HideMessage() {
var messagebox = document.getElementById("messageConfirmation");
messagebox.style.display = "none";
}
but when I use them <div>
shows and hides in only a moment, and then appears/disappears again, I really don't know what can cause such a problem so i will be really thankful for your answers. Full HTML page code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title></title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<style type="text/css">
div.wrap {
width: 850px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
div.messageBox{
display:none;
width:500px;
height:60px;
background-color: rgb(200, 200, 175);
}
</style>
<script>
function DisplayMessage() {
var messagebox = document.getElementById("messageConfirmation");
messagebox.style.display = "block";
}
function HideMessage() {
var messagebox = document.getElementById("messageConfirmation");
messagebox.style.display = "none";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="wrap">
<div class="messageBox" id="messageConfirmation" >
<p>Message</p>
<form>
<button onclick="HideMessage()">HideME</button>
</form>
</div>
<div>
<form>
<button onclick="DisplayMessage()">ShowMe</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
By default, <button>
inside a <form>
element will act like a submit
button, so once your code runs, the form is submitted and the page is refreshed, so it goes back to its old state. Change its type
to button
in order to achieve what you want:
<button type="button" onclick="HideMessage()">HideME</button>
