Can I specify multiple data targets for Twitter Bootstrap collapse? - twitter-bootstrap-3

Question

I'd like to target two divs for expand when clicking on a single trigger? Is that possible?

Answer 1

You can simply add all the ids separated by commas in data-target:
<button type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#demo,#demo1,#demo2">
Hide them all
</button>

Answer 2

Use the same class for both div's and set your data-target according this. Give your div's also the same parent (can also be a class) and set data-parent according this.
<button type="button" data-parent="#wrap" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".demo">
simple collapsible
</button>
<div id="wrap">
<div class="demo collapse">
test1
</div>
<div class="demo collapse">
test1
</div>
</div>

Answer 3

From the Bootstrap 3 documentation:
The data-target attribute accepts a CSS selector to apply the collapse to.
Therefore you can use a comma-separated list of id's, class selector etc. for the data-target attribute value:
<button class="btn btn-primary"
type="button"
data-toggle="collapse"
data-target="#target1,#target2,#target3"
aria-expanded="false"
aria-controls="target1,target2,target3">
You can see an extensive list of valid CSS selectors on the w3schools website.

Answer 4

If you want to hide one element and show another (like the bootstrap accordion but without a panel) you can add multiple targets but also add the class 'in' to have one element expanded on load!
<div class="collapse text-center clearfix in" id="section1">
<h1>This is section 1</h1>
<p>Are you excited about toggling?</p>
</div>
<div class="collapse text-center clearfix alert-warning" id="section2">
<h1>Boo!!</h1>
<p>This is a new sentence</p>
</div>
<button class="btn btn-block btn-primary" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#section1,#section2">Toggle</button>

Answer 5

There is a solution in Bootstrap 4:
Bootstrap 4 documentation: Multiple targets
The least you need is:
data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".multi-collapse" for the toggle
button
class="collapse multi-collapse" for each element you need to
toggle
(While multiple ids in data-target indeed don't work).

Answer 6

The data-target answer did not work for me. However you can use JavaScript to do this.
Make your button call some JavaScript like:
$('.collapse-class').collapse('toggle')
See: https://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#via-javascript-3.

Answer 7

Bootstrap 4 uses document.querySelector instead of document.querySelectorAll. If this changes, then everything works.

Answer 8

In Bootstrap 4 using the same class for each respective div seemed to work over using id.
<button type="button" class="btn" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".collapse-group">
Reveal Items</button>
<div class="row">
<h3>Visible Row div 1</h3>
<div class="collapse-group collapse">
<p>hidden item</p>
</div>
<h3>div 2</h3>
<div class="collapse-group collapse">
<p>hidden item 2</p>
</div>
</div>

I faced the same problem but bootstrap won't let data-toggle="tab" beside data-toggle="collapsed" so my problem was like this.
I have:
<a type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-lg btn-block " href="#ld-tab-pane-eye" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="ld-tab-pane-eye" role="tab" data-toggle="tab" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false" style=" border: 0px ;"> </a>
and this was switching tabs:
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed nav-trigger style-mobile" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#main-header-collapse" aria-expanded="false" data-changeclassnames='{ "html": "mobile-nav-activated overflow-hidden" }'>
</button>
But this one closes the modal because the switch tab button was in the modal.
To solve the problem I add id="popout"(to first button) and id="popoutTrigger" (to secend button).
And this script (jQuery):
$( "#popout" ).click(function() {
$( "#popoutTrigger" ).trigger( "click" );
});
When the user clicked the switch button in the modal, after switching modal will close.
This a view of what I've done.
I hope my solution will help.
