JQuery, show/hide form

May 2, 2017 8 Yehor Rykhnov

A simple example of show/hide the form using jQuery.

For example, we will use the Bootstrap style. And so we proceed.

We connect jQuery and Bootstrap:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-BVYiiSIFeK1dGmJRAkycuHAHRg32OmUcww7on3RYdg4Va+PmSTsz/K68vbdEjh4u" crossorigin="anonymous">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css" integrity="sha384-rHyoN1iRsVXV4nD0JutlnGaslCJuC7uwjduW9SVrLvRYooPp2bWYgmgJQIXwl/Sp" crossorigin="anonymous">
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js" integrity="sha384-Tc5IQib027qvyjSMfHjOMaLkfuWVxZxUPnCJA7l2mCWNIpG9mGCD8wGNIcPD7Txa" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Create a simple form:

<form class="my-form hide">
 
    <div class="row">
 
        <div class="col-md-6">
            <div class="form-group">
                <label for="name">Enter name:</label>
                <input id="name" type="text" placeholder="Enter name" class="form-control" />
            </div>
        </div>
 
        <div class="col-md-6">
            <div class="form-group">
                <label for="email">Enter e-mail:</label>
                <input id="email" type="text" placeholder="Enter e-mail" class="form-control" />
            </div>
        </div>
 
    </div>
 
    <div class="row">
 
        <div class="col-md-12">
            <div class="form-group">
                <label for="text">Enter your message:</label>
                <textarea id="text" name="text" placeholder="Enter your message" class="form-control" rows="3"></textarea>
            </div>
        </div>
 
    </div>
 
    <div class="form-group text-right">
        <input id="cancel" type="reset" value="Cancel" class="btn btn-default" />   
        <input id="enter" type="submit" value="Send" class="btn btn-success" />
    </div>
 
    <p>Click "Cancel" to hide the form.</p>
 
</form>

Add the link "Show form":

<a href="#" id="show-form">Show form</a>

We add the event of showing the form by clicking on the link:

$('#show-form').click(function () {
    $('.my-form').removeClass('hide');
    $( "#name" ).focus();
});

Hide the form after clicking on the "Cancel" button:

$('#cancel').click(function () {
    $('.my-form').addClass('hide');
});

We wrap these events in the "document ready", for correct work:

<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('#show-form').click(function () {
            $('.my-form').removeClass('hide');
            $( "#name" ).focus();
        });
        $('#cancel').click(function () {
            $('.my-form').addClass('hide');
        });
    });
</script>

Done, you can use. I will give the full page code:
