How to create jQuery slide up and down toggle effect
Topic: JavaScript / jQueryPrev|Next
Answer: Use the jQuery slideUp() and slideDown() methods
You can simply use the jQuery slideUp() and slideDown() methods to hide and show the HTML elements with a smooth sliding motion using a single line of code.
Let's try out the following example to understand how these methods basically work:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery slideUp and slideDown Effect</title>
<style>
.box{
width: 400px;
background: #f0e68c;
border: 1px solid #a29415;
}
.box-inner{
padding: 10px;
}
</style>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".slide-up").click(function(){
$(".box").slideUp();
});
$(".slide-down").click(function(){
$(".box").slideDown();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button type="button" class="slide-up">Slide Up</button>
<button type="button" class="slide-down">Slide Down</button>
<hr>
<div class="box">
<div class="box-inner">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>Alternatively, you can use the jQuery slideToggle() method that perform both slide up and down animation in such a way that if the element is initially displayed, it will be hidden; and if it is hidden, it will be shown. Let's check out the following example to see how it works:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery slideToggle Effect</title>
<style>
.box{
width: 400px;
background: #f0e68c;
border: 1px solid #a29415;
}
.box-inner{
padding: 10px;
}
</style>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".slide-toggle").click(function(){
$(".box").slideToggle();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button type="button" class="slide-toggle">Slide Toggle</button>
<hr>
<div class="box">
<div class="box-inner">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...</div>
</div>
</body>
