jQuery Sliding Methods

With jQuery you can create a sliding effect on elements.

jQuery has the following slide methods:

  • slideDown()
  • slideUp()
  • slideToggle()

jQuery slideDown() Method

The jQuery slideDown() method is used to slide down an element.

Syntax:

$(selector).slideDown(speed,callback);

The optional speed parameter specifies the duration of the effect. It can take the following values: "slow", "fast", or milliseconds.

The optional callback parameter is a function to be executed after the sliding completes.

The following example demonstrates the slideDown() method:

If the elements have been slid up, slideToggle() will slide them down.

$(selector).slideToggle(speed,callback);

The optional speed parameter can take the following values: "slow", "fast", milliseconds.

The optional callback parameter is a function to be executed after the sliding completes.
