Question

I have two links and 2 divs. I want to show div 1 while div 2 is hidden. and when I show div 2, I want div 1 to be hidden. I tried to write this code but it seem not working.(only the first part. videos div is hidden)

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
   $('#videos').hide();
 });

$('#show_images').click(function(){
    $('#videos').hide();
    $('#images').show();
});

    $('#show_videos').click(function(){
        $('#images').hide();
        $('#videos').show();
    });

    </script>
    <a id="show_images" class="button" href="#">Images</a>
    <a id="show_videos" class="button" href="#">Videos</a>

<div id="images" class="images"></div>
<div id="videos" class="videos"></div>

Answer 1

Put the code which bind click handler into the dom ready callback, or the code executes when the two div are not ready.

$(document).ready(function() {
   $('#videos').hide();

  $('#show_images').click(function(){
    $('#videos').hide();
    $('#images').show();
  });

  $('#show_videos').click(function(){
    $('#images').hide();
    $('#videos').show();
  });
});
