By default if you specify a speed jquery adds a weird looking animation where it expands from the left end corner. I want it to just slide down. Is there a way to do that without importing something else like jquery UI ?
I'm looking something in the lines of :
$("test").show('slow', {animation:'slide'})
If there's no way, then what would be the lightest solution to do this?
Thanks
There are the slideDown, slideUp, and slideToggle functions native to jquery 1.3+, and they work quite nicely...
http://docs.jquery.com/Effects
You can use slideDown just like this:
$("test").slideDown("slow");
And if you want to combine effects and really go nuts I'd take a look at the animate function which allows you to specify a number of CSS properties to shape tween or morph into. Pretty fancy stuff, that.
Use slidedown()
:
$("test").slideDown("slow");
You can also use a fadeIn/FadeOut Combo, too....
$('.test').bind('click', function(){
$('.div1').fadeIn(500);
$('.div2').fadeOut(500);
$('.div3').fadeOut(500);
return false;
});
