Question

I am trying to replace divs on click. For that , i am using following script

$(function(){
var $containers = $("#center > div").hide();

$('div span a').each(function(i,el){
  var idx = i;
  $(this).click(function(e){
    var $target = $containers.filter(':eq(' + idx + ')');
    // Fade out visible div
    if($containers.filter(':visible').not($target).length){
      $containers.filter(':visible').fadeOut();
    }
    // Fade in new div if not already showing
    $target.not(':visible').fadeIn();
    e.preventDefault();
  })
})
});

html code is

<div>
 <div>
<span><a href="#">Home</a></span>
  <span><a href="#">About us</a></span>
<span><a href="#">Specifications</a></span>
<span><a href="#">Contact us</a></span>
</div>
<div id="center">
<div class="container">
Hey , this is Home div contents

</div>
<div class="container">
 Hey , this is About us div contents

</div>
<div class="container">
 Hey , this is Specifications div contents

</div>

<div class="container">
 Hey , this is Contact us div contents

  </div>
    </div>
  </div>

Here all divs are hidden initially. I want to display the 1st div and other divs on click accordingly

Please help,

Thanks

Answer 1

Use :first selector

Example :

$(function(){
    var $containers = $("#center > div").hide();
    $("#center > div:first").show(); // OR $containers.first().show();
            // existing code
});
