Question

I have a function and it works when you click close: it slides up. However, I want it to slide down by default when you first go to the page. It is just appearing right now, not sliding down.

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#related2").slideDown();

    $(".close2").click(function (event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        $("#related2").slideUp();
    });
});

Answer 1

Your code should work as long as you have the style of the #related element set to display:none. That way it can animate the showing of the element when it hits your ready() code.
