[jQuery] jQuery text toggle effect
So i was looking on here yesterday, and i've been scouring the Web for
a simple text toggle tutorial. I haven't been able to find one --
maybe i'm not looking in the right places, but anyway. so you can
probably tell what i'm trying to achieve just by my subject line.
I have a div of images called .clients wrapped in a div
called .showhide
<div class="showhide">
Show
<ul class="clients" style="display: block;">
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<noscript>This is the description for the logo</noscript>
</ul>
</div>
here's the jQuery that runs when i click .showhide
$(".showhide").click(function(){
$(this).children(".clients").slideToggle('slow');
});
just a simple slideToggle of the images on the click of the .showhide
class. nothing new there.
i tried a couple of things, but i don't know enough about jQuery yet
to do this correctly.
the best i could do was to have the text change after i
click .showhide, but then the .slideToggle became disabled after the
text changed.
obviously, i want the text to toggle the words "show" and "hide" in
accordance to the slide toggle.
i have a hunch that i need to write an if/then statement using
the .html feature to change the text itself and maybe even a variable
for the show and a variable for the hide so i can pass them through
with ease.
can anyone help me?! am i on the right track?!
thanks,
John
