I am looking to create a fairly simple webpage that consists of 4 buttons that when clicked display a different output in the same location. Ex: Button 1 outputs a query that displays Pizza Sauces and Button 2 outputs a query that displays Pizza Toppings, but both display in the Output Box. I have the proper queries made up, but I am having trouble figuring out how to get the buttons to work together and display in the same location.
The code I have currently is a simple Display/Hide method with JS scripting but I’ve come to realize it isn’t what I am looking for and probably need to scrap it. Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated!
EXAMPLE CODE:
<div class="container">
<div id="ClearanceBox" >
<div class="t1">Build Your Own!</div>
</div>
</div>
<script>
function toggleText1() {
var text = document.getElementById("demo1");
if (text.style.display === "none") {
text.style.display = "block";
} else {
text.style.display = "none";
}
}
function toggleText5() {
var text = document.getElementById("demo5");
if (text.style.display === "none") {
text.style.display = "block";
} else {
text.style.display = "none";
}
}
</script>
<div class="grid-container">
<div class="Buttons">
<div class="grid-item">1</div>
<button type='button' onclick="toggleText5()">Sauces</button>
<div id='demo5' style='display: none'>
<!--Query from DB goes here Deleted for Example Code -->
<button type='button' onclick="toggleText1()">Toppings</button>
<div id='demo1' style='display: none'>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Here’s a simplified vanilla CSS version without any Javascript using the ‘radio hack’ to toggle elements. Uses Flexbox layout for easy centering of elements and content.
/* hide the radios */
[name="btnGroup"] { display: none }
/* actions, toggle content when resp. radio is checked */
#reset:checked ~ .pizza-box { background-color: transparent; border: none }
#reset:checked ~ .pizza-box::after { content: "" }
#radio1:checked ~ .pizza-box::after { content: "checked 1" }
#radio2:checked ~ .pizza-box::after { content: "checked 2" }
#radio3:checked ~ .pizza-box::after { content: "checked 3" }
#radio4:checked ~ .pizza-box::after { content: "checked 4" }
/* layout eye-candy */
.container, .button, .pizza-box {
display: flex;
flex-flow: row wrap;
justify-content: center; align-content: center; align-items: center;
}
.container {
width: 100%; gap: .5rem; padding: .5rem
}
.button, .pizza-box {
min-width: 6rem;
line-height: 2.25rem;
padding: 0 .5rem;
border: 1px solid Gray;
}
.button {
background-color: #e8e8e8; border-radius: 28px;
box-shadow: 0px 2px 1px -1px hsl(0,0%,0%,.20),
0px 1px 1px 0px hsl(0,0%,0%,.14),
0px 1px 3px 0px hsl(0,0%,0%,.12);
}
.button:active:not(:focus) {
transform: scale(1);
}
.button:hover {
transform: scale(1.03);
box-shadow: 0px 3px 3px -2px hsl(0,0%,0%,.20),
0px 3px 4px 0px hsl(0,0%,0%,.14),
0px 1px 8px 0px hsl(0,0%,0%,.12);
}
.pizza-box { background-color: Tomato; flex-basis: 100%; min-height: 10vh }<div class="container">
<label class="button" for="reset" >reset </label><input id="reset" type="radio" name="btnGroup" checked>
