[jQuery] slideUp/slideDown toggle questions
Hi there,
I have a page with a div that uses a toggle slideUp/slideDown effect
as follows:-
var $jq = jQuery.noConflict();
$jq(document).ready(function()
{
$jq("#recenttoggle").toggle(function()
{
$jq("#recent").slideDown('slow');
}
, function()
{
$jq("#recent").slideUp('fast');
}
);
});
This works fine, aside from the fact that the default state for the
recent div is 'show' - ie, after the page has loaded, the
recenttoggle div/link has to be clicked twice to hide it/slideUp.
So that's my first question - how do I make it so that the recent div
hides/slideUp when the recenttoggle div/link is clicked the first time?
Also, how can I reference this toggle function from another JS function?
What I want to do is call a function that will hide/slideUp the
recent div, update the recent div using an AJAX call, and then show/
slideDown.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
