How to use jquery toggle for multiple childs in different parents?

Question

Basically i have a few parents that have the same class:

<div class="parent">
    <div class="child"></div>
</div>
<div class="parent">
    <div class="child"></div>
</div>
<div class="parent">
    <div class="child"></div>
</div>

And when i click on a parent class i want to toggle its child. For that i'm using:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.parent').click(function(e){
        $(this).children('.child').toggle();
    });
});  

This does toggle my child but if i leave it visible and i click on the next parent i want to make all other children disappear.

Is this possible using only jquery/javascript? Thank you!

Answer 1

You could use a class to manage display and just toggle that class on current parent and remove it from others

 $('.parent').click(function(){ $('.active').not(this).removeClass('active'); $(this).toggleClass('active'); }) 

 .parent{ margin-bottom:2em} .child{display:none} .active .child{ display:block} 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <div class="parent">Parent 1 <div class="child">Child</div> </div> <div class="parent">Parent 2 <div class="child">Child</div> </div> <div class="parent">Parent 3 <div class="child">Child</div> </div>

I think you need to show only one of childs. To do this work first hide all childs then show clicked child.

$('.parent').click(function(e){
  $(this).siblings().children('.child:visible').toggle();  
  $(this).children('.child').toggle();     
}).children(".child").toggle();

 $('.parent').click(function(e){ $(this).siblings().children('.child:visible').slideUp(); $(this).children('.child').slideDown(); }).children(".child").slideUp(); 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <div class="parent">parent1 <div class="child">child1</div> </div> <div class="parent">parent2 <div class="child">child2</div> </div> <div class="parent">parent3 <div class="child">child3</div> </div>

Please Try This:-

$('.parent').click(function(e){
            if($(this).children('.child').is(':visible')){
                $(this).children('.child').slideUp();
            }else{
                $('.parent .child').slideUp();
                $(this).children('.child').slideDown(); 
            }           
        });
