How to Hide and Show a Table by Clicking on a Button?

Have you ever wanted to manage the visibility of elements in your web pages seamlessly? One common requirement is to have a table that only displays when a button is clicked. In this guide, we'll explore how you can easily implement this functionality using HTML, CSS, and jQuery.

The Problem: Hiding the Table Initially

You have created an HTML structure that includes a button for fetching data and a table for displaying information. However, the table is displayed on the page even before the button is clicked. You want the table to remain hidden until the button is pressed.

The existing code for your button and table looks like this:

The Solution: Hiding and Showing the Table

To achieve the desired functionality, you need to make a few adjustments to your CSS and JavaScript code.

Step 1: Hide the Table with CSS

Start by adding a simple CSS rule to ensure the table is hidden when the page first loads. You can do this by adding the following CSS to your stylesheet:

This will hide the table element when the page is initially loaded, preventing it from being visible until the button is clicked.

Step 2: Show the Table on Button Click with jQuery

Next, you need to modify your JavaScript code so that the table is displayed only after the relevant data has been retrieved. This is done inside the success handler of the AJAX call. Here’s the modified part of your JavaScript:

Key Changes Explained:

display: none;: Initially hides the table.

$('.container table').show();: Displays the table after data retrieval is successful.

Use of map(): Streamlined the process of creating table rows for better performance and readability.

Conclusion

With these changes, your table will remain hidden when the page loads and will only become visible after clicking the “Groups” button. This simple adjustment enhances user experience by ensuring that unnecessary elements are kept out of sight until needed. Experiment with this functionality to make your web applications more interactive and user-friendly!
