Using jQuery to slideToggle a group of Table Rows
- by CCC
Hi. I'm fairly new to javaScript and jQuery, so hopefully this will be a quick fix. I need to display a table containing data that can be grouped into several categories, and I'd like to implement a slideToggle that hides/reveals all of the observations in each given category.
The code below should (ideally) display a table with 4 columns and 9 rows, with every group of 3 rows preceded by a green "Section i" row. I would like each Section header to work as a slideToggle that expands or collapses all of the rows beneath it. Right now, nothing is collapsing. Any thoughts?
<head>
<style type="text/css">
td{padding:5px;}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".flip").click(function(){
$(this).next(".section").slideToggle();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<table id="main_table">
<thead>
<tr class="firstline">
<th>Column1</th>
<th>Column2</th>
<th>Column3</th>
<th>Column4</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr style="background-color:green; color:white">
<td colspan="4" class="flip"> Section 1 </td>
</tr>
<div class="section">
<tr>
<td>item 111</td>
<td>item 112</td>
<td>item 113</td>
<td>item 114</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>item 121</td>
<td>item 122</td>
<td>item 123</td>
<td>item 124</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>item 131</td>
<td>item 132</td>
<td>item 133</td>
<td>item 134</td>
</tr>
</div>
<tr style="background-color:green; color:white">
<td colspan="4" class="flip"> Section 2 </td>
</tr>
<div class="section">
<tr>
<td>item 211</td>
<td>item 212</td>
<td>item 213</td>
<td>item 214</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>item 221</td>
<td>item 222</td>
<td>item 223</td>
<td>item 224</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>item 231</td>
<td>item 232</td>
<td>item 233</td>
<td>item 234</td>
</tr>
</div>
<tr style="background-color:green; color:white">
<td colspan="4" class="flip"> Section 3 </td>
</tr>
<div class="section">
<tr>
<td>item 311</td>
<td>item 312</td>
<td>item 313</td>
<td>item 314</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>item 321</td>
<td>item 322</td>
<td>item 323</td>
<td>item 324</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>item 331</td>
<td>item 332</td>
<td>item 333</td>
<td>item 334</td>
</tr>
</div>
