How to Use slideDown (or show) function on a table

Question

I'm trying to add a row to a table and have that row slide into view, however the slidedown function seems to be adding a display:block style to the table row which messes up the layout.

Any ideas how to work around this?

Here's the code:

$.get('/some_url', 
  { 'val1': id },

  function (data) {
    var row = $('#detailed_edit_row');
    row.hide();
    row.html(data);
    row.slideDown(1000);
  }
);

Answer 1

I simply wrap the tr dynamically then remove it once the slideUp/slideDown has complete. It's a pretty small overhead adding and removing one or a couple of tags and then removing them once the animation is complete, I don't see any visible lag at all doing it.

SlideUp:

$('#my_table > tbody > tr.my_row')
 .find('td')
 .wrapInner('<div style="display: block;" />')
 .parent()
 .find('td > div')
 .slideUp(700, function(){

  $(this).parent().parent().remove();

 });

SlideDown:

$('#my_table > tbody > tr.my_row')
 .find('td')
 .wrapInner('<div style="display: none;" />')
 .parent()
 .find('td > div')
 .slideDown(700, function(){

  var $set = $(this);
  $set.replaceWith($set.contents());

 });

I have to pay tribute to fletchzone.com as I took his plugin and stripped it back to the above, cheers mate.

If you need to slide and fade a table row at the same time, try using these:

jQuery.fn.prepareTableRowForSliding = function() {
    $tr = this;
    $tr.children('td').wrapInner('<div style="display: none;" />');
    return $tr;
};

jQuery.fn.slideFadeTableRow = function(speed, easing, callback) {
    $tr = this;
    if ($tr.is(':hidden')) {
        $tr.show().find('td > div').animate({opacity: 'toggle', height: 'toggle'}, speed, easing, callback);
    } else {
        $tr.find('td > div').animate({opacity: 'toggle', height: 'toggle'}, speed, easing, function(){
            $tr.hide();
            callback();
        });
    }
    return $tr;
};

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('tr.special').hide().prepareTableRowForSliding();
    $('a.toggle').toggle(function(){
        $button = $(this);
        $tr = $button.closest('tr.special'); //this will be specific to your situation
        $tr.slideFadeTableRow(300, 'swing', function(){
            $button.text('Hide table row');
        });
    }, function(){
        $button = $(this);
        $tr = $button.closest('tr.special'); //this will be specific to your situation
        $tr.slideFadeTableRow(300, 'swing', function(){
            $button.text('Display table row');
        });
});
});

I neded a table with hidden rows that slide in and out of view on row click.

$('.tr-show-sub').click(function(e) {  
    var elOne = $(this);
    $('.tr-show-sub').each(function(key, value) {
        var elTwoe = $(this);
        
        if(elOne.get(0) !== elTwoe.get(0)) {
            if($(this).next('.tr-sub').hasClass('tr-sub-shown')) {
                elTwoe.next('.tr-sub').removeClass('tr-sub-shown');
                elTwoe.next('tr').find('td').find('div').slideUp();
                elTwoe.next('tr').find('td').slideUp();
            }
        }
        
        if(elOne.get(0) === elTwoe.get(0)) {
            if(elOne.next('.tr-sub').hasClass('tr-sub-shown')) {
                elOne.next('.tr-sub').removeClass('tr-sub-shown');
                elOne.next('tr').find('td').find('div').slideUp();
                elOne.next('tr').find('td').slideUp();
            } else {
                elOne.next('.tr-sub').addClass('tr-sub-shown');
                elOne.next('tr').find('td').slideDown();
                elOne.next('tr').find('td').find('div').slideDown();
            }
        }
    })

Answer 5

I liked the plugin that Vinny's written and have been using. But in case of tables inside sliding row (tr/td), the rows of nested table are always hidden even after slid up. So I did a quick and simple hack in the plugin not to hide the rows of nested table. Just change the following line

var $cells = $(this).find('td');

to

var $cells = $(this).find('> td');

which finds only immediate tds not nested ones. Hope this helps someone using the plugin and have nested tables.

Quick/Easy Fix:

Use JQuery .toggle() to show/hide the rows onclick of either Row or an Anchor.

A function will need to be written to identify the rows you would like hidden, but toggle creates the functionality you are looking for.
