Show and hide divs at a specific time interval using jQuery
Working Example here - add /edit to the URL to play with the code
You just need to use JavaScript setInterval function
$('html').addClass('js');$(function() { var timer = setInterval(showDiv, 5000); var counter = 0; function showDiv() { if (counter == 0) { counter++; return; } $('div', '#container') .stop() .hide() .filter(function() { return this.id.match('div' + counter); }) .show('fast'); counter == 3 ? counter = 0 : counter++; }});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"><head> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <title>Sandbox</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> body { background-color: #fff; font: 16px Helvetica, Arial; color: #000; } .display { width: 300px; height: 200px; border: 2px solid #000; } .js .display { display: none; } </style></head><body> <h2>Example of using setInterval to trigger display of Div</h2> <p>The first div will display after 10 seconds...</p> <div id='container'> <div id='div1' class='display' style="background-color: red;"> div1 </div> <div id='div2' class='display' style="background-color: green;"> div2 </div> <div id='div3' class='display' style="background-color: blue;"> div3 </div> <div></body></html>EDIT:
In response to your comment about the container div, just modify this
$('div','#container')to this
$('#div1, #div2, #div3')
Loop through divs every 10 seconds.
$(function () { var counter = 0, divs = $('#div1, #div2, #div3'); function showDiv () { divs.hide() // hide all divs .filter(function (index) { return index == counter % 3; }) // figure out correct div to show .show('fast'); // and show it counter++; }; // function to loop through divs and show correct div showDiv(); // show first div setInterval(function () { showDiv(); // show next div }, 10 * 1000); // do this every 10 seconds });
here is a jQuery plugin I came up with:
$.fn.cycle = function(timeout){ var $all_elem = $(this) show_cycle_elem = function(index){ if(index == $all_elem.length) return; //you can make it start-over, if you want $all_elem.hide().eq(index).fadeIn() setTimeout(function(){show_cycle_elem(++index)}, timeout); } show_cycle_elem(0);}You need to have a common classname for all the divs you wan to cycle, use it like this:
$("div.cycleme").cycle(5000)
