How to display / hide content via pure css

August 22, 2023

I want to switch content via pure CSS,since I am not good at CSS(I can do it via JavaScript but I do not want to do like that),if any one could help me,it would be very grateful.

I have a code snippet as below,what I want to do is

if we click A,toggle-on-content will display and toggle-off-content
will hide
if we click B,toggle-off-content will display and toggle-on-content
will hide
toggle-on-content will display and toggle-off-content
will hide by default

.toggle-on-content{
  color: #dd7e6b
}

.toggle-off-content{
  color: #6bbedd
}

.btn {
    border: 3px solid #16982b;
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 3px;
    position: relative;
    text-align: center;
    transition: background 600ms ease, color 600ms ease;
}

input[type="radio"].toggle {
    display: none;

    & + label {
        cursor: pointer;
        min-width: 60px;

        &:hover {
            background: none;
            color: #16982b;
        }

        &:after {
            background: #16982b;
            content: "";
            height: 100%;
            position: absolute;
            top: 0;
            transition: left 200ms cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1);
            width: 100%;
            z-index: -1;
        }
    }

    &.toggle-left + label {
        border-right: 0;

        &:after {
            left: 100%;
        }
    }

    &.toggle-right + label {
        margin-left: -5px;

        &:after {
            left: -100%;
        }
    }

    &:checked + label {
        cursor: default;
        color: #fff;
        transition: color 200ms;

        &:after {
            left: 0;
        }
    }
}

<input id="toggle-on" class="toggle toggle-left" name="toggle" value="false" type="radio" checked>
<label for="toggle-on" class="btn">A</label>
<input id="toggle-off" class="toggle toggle-right" name="toggle" value="true" type="radio">
<label for="toggle-off" class="btn">B</label>
<p class="toggle-on-content">
A lifecycle method is any method that is annotated with @BeforeAll, @AfterAll, @BeforeEach or @AfterEach annotation. The lifecycle methods execute before or after executing the actual test methods.

<p class="toggle-off-content">

>Solution :

You can accomplish this with the general sibling selector ~ to show or hide any elements that are siblings to the input elements.

.toggle-left:checked ~ .toggle-off-content {
  display: none;
}

.toggle-right:checked ~ .toggle-on-content {
  display: none;
}

.toggle-on-content{
  color: #dd7e6b

.toggle-off-content{
  color: #6bbedd

.btn {
    border: 3px solid #16982b;
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 3px;

        &:hover {
