I have asked the question if it can be done in PHP and CCS

Sure, can be done there too. Better to do it there as if you do it in HTML you have to send all of the different languages to the browser and let it decide what to display which will slow down rendering. It would be very silly to do it in HTML, you wouldn't only do that in a situation where you needed to have only a single URL (why) and when you must use static pages and not dynamic ones (no PHP.)

CSS would not be involved no matter what. It's JavaScript that enables it if done in HTML, it's PHP that would do it if done on the server.

jQuery would make this really easy.

Probably still easier than building your own system for this, though.

Problem is i can't upload any extra files, all i can do is edit the source code of the HTML page.

There's a hosted version of jQuery...

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

You should be able to include that at the top of the html and be done.

That's good, keeps you from uploading things that you shouldn't

hobbit666

OK so not having the best of luck lol. This is what i need to do.
When you go to this site
http://www.somewebserver.com/index.html

you will see:-

Croeso i Aberdaron, rydym yn gobeithio y byddwch yn mwynhau eich ymweliad. I wneud eich ymweliad mor gyfleus â phosibl, rydym fel cymuned wedi darparu mynediad am ddim i'r rhyngrwyd i chi.

If you click on the ENG button or Flag (not decided yet), it will display:-

I can't upload any files or folders to the webserver i can only edit index.html code

Yup, we figured that that was what you needed. JQuery is the best way to do this.

Example blurb below.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div id='divEnglish' style='display:none'>
Welcome to Aberdaron we hope you enjoy your visit.  To make your visit as convenient as possible we have provided you free 

access to the internet.
</div>

<div id='otherLanguage' style='display:none'>
Croeso i Aberdaron, rydym yn gobeithio y byddwch yn mwynhau eich ymweliad. I wneud eich ymweliad mor gyfleus â phosibl, 

rydym fel cymuned wedi darparu mynediad am ddim i'r rhyngrwyd i chi.
</div>

<a id='cmdEnglish' href='#'>Click Here for English</a><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<a id='cmdOther' href='#'>Click Here for Other Language</a><br><br>


<script>
//This is the javascript where the magic happens
$('#cmdEnglish').click(function () {
 $('#divEnglish').show()
 $('#otherLanguage').hide()
})

//This is the javascript where the magic happens
$('#cmdOther').click(function () {
 $('#divEnglish').hide()
 $('#otherLanguage').show()
})
</script>

That's what i've been looking for but all the examples i was finding showed extra CSS files and .json files etc, so i got confused lol

hobbit666

@dafyre Thanks will have a play with that

You can do CSS in the file as well if you really need to... just wrap it in <style> and </style> ...

Yes, because best practice is to separate things out. Just merge them into one file.

@scottalanmiller Thanks for the tip Scott.
Been a VERY LONG time since i've done anything HTML so trying to get my head around structure and where everything needs to go in the single file lol
