Exploring slideUp() and slideDown() Methods in jQuery
The slideUp() and slideDown() methods in jQuery are utilized to hide or reveal HTML elements by gradually decreasing or increasing their height, essentially sliding them up or down.
Example: The example below illustrates how to use the slideUp() and slideDown() methods in jQuery to hide or show HTML elements:
The output result looks like the following:
Similar to other animation methods in jQuery, we can customize the duration parameter for slideUp() and slideDown() methods to control the dynamic sliding time.
To customize the duration parameter, we will use one of the predefined strings 'slow' or 'fast' or a time measured in milliseconds. A higher value results in a slower slide display.
Example: The example below illustrates how to fine-tune the duration for slideUp() and slideDown() methods:
The output result looks like the following:
Additionally, we can specify a callback function executed after the completion of slideUp() or slideDown(), as demonstrated in the example below:
The output result looks like the following:
2. slideToggle() Method in jQuery
The slideToggle() method in jQuery is used to display or hide selected elements. If the element is initially visible, it will slide up; if hidden, it will slide down, essentially toggling between slideUp() and slideDown() methods.
Example: In the example below, we illustrate the usage of the slideToggle() method in jQuery:
The output result looks like the following:
Similarly, we can also specify the duration parameter for the slideToggle() method, similar to the slideUp() and slideDown() methods, to control the speed of the dynamic slide transition.
Example: In the example below, we illustrate how to specify the duration parameter for the slideToggle() method:
The output result looks like the following:
Additionally, we can specify a callback function for the slideToggle() method, referring to the example below:
The output result looks like the following:
